This month on Down the Garden Path we’re talking all about lawn care!  When it comes to our lawns, we’re all a bit fanatical.  So, this month we’re going discuss what it takes to get a beautiful lawn. From lawn care 101, to artificial turf, pest and diseases, and everything in between, we’ve got the tips and tricks to get you growing a green oasis that’ll make you the talk of the neighbourhood. Tonight, we take a look at artificial turf with Brian Park from Durham Artificial Grass.
