Despite the October wet weather and beginning of the Autumn Season,  Eternal Lawns have enjoyed a good Month of new installations.

The installation of our 30mm Superior artificial grass to the lightweight boxing champion of the world, Josh Warringtons residence, proved to be the highlight for the Month. We wish to take the opportunity to wish the world boxing champion well and the best of luck in any of the forthcoming fights in 2021.

New installations of our 40mm Excellence and 30mm Superior, continue to be provided through Yorkshire and in particular this Month we enjoyed a good share of installations in Pontefract and Harrogate. Installations within surrounding areas, through York, Bradford, Leeds and Huddersfield all remain very active. October is proving to be a good Month for Eternal Lawns.
