It’s not every day you have an enthusiastic audience during work, but that’s exactly what happened yesterday when Blades were called to install a temporary artificial grass pitch for the Champion’s League festivities in London’s Trafalgar Square. The build-up to the Finals began this morning with Chelsea LFC and England forward Eniola Aluko having a [...]
Blades and “Pastoral” at Soho Theatre
A few months ago we received an interesting request to supply artificial grass for a new production at the Soho Theatre in London. When we’re not knee deep in mud and grass we’re quite partial to soaking up some culture so we were only too pleased to help. The production is Pastoral, a “darkly funny [...]
Artificial Grass: London Spotlight
Artificial grass has become a really popular and practical solution for space-restricted city dwellers in recent years. Transforming precious outside areas, such roof terraces often comes complete with awkward and challenging access, and London has certainly given us more than its fair share of head-scratching moments. The end results are always that little bit more [...]
Emerging Designers Competition
During the summer of 2012, Waltham Forest Council and Jan Kattein Architects launched a design competition; an ambitious project to rejuvenate a row independent retailers and shops on High Road, Leyton. Emerging designers from top London and European design schools were teamed up with high street retailers to transform their shop displays and evolve branding [...]
The Grass Isn’t Always Green – School Play Areas
A few weeks ago we mentioned some exciting school projects we’ve been busy with over summer. Well, the photos are in, and we’re delighted with the results of two fantastic sensory and school play areas.

We’ve been brimming with pride over our athletes’ achievements and in admiration of the commitment of the thousands of people and organisations involved in [...]

Blades Roll Out Red Carpet for Queen’s Jubilee
At last, we’re finally able and immensely proud to tell you what we have been working on during recent months. Blades were selected to provide a backdrop of red artificial grass for the Royal Barge that will carry the Queen during the Thames Diamond Jubilee River Pageant. This artist’s impression gives us a clue as [...]
Blades Support Sussex Wildlife Trust
Our business may be artificial but our natural world is extremely important to us, so a few months ago we began to look for a local project to support, one that we felt would restore some balance. This week we’re proud to say that Blades are now fully fledged members of the Sussex Wildlife Trust. [...]
Blades Join Brighton & Hove Chamber of Commerce
The first of our new year goals is now complete; we joined the Brighton and Hove Chamber of Commerce. They’re no stranger to artificial grass either. Last summer Dawn Banks designed an inspirational balcony space for the Chamber’s offices in Hove and used a beautifully bold pink artificial grass. Apparently it’s a bit of a [...]
