AN artificial grass firm has helped transform a family’s garden for a the DIY SOS television show.

LazyLawn licensee Peter Mangnall came to the rescue of Failsworth couple Stephen O’Mara and Rebecca Webb, and their triplets Archie, Grace and Isabelle, by rolling out 20 square metres his Wonder Yarn turf.

LazyLawn, which is the UK’s biggest artificial grass brand, was part of a team of local tradesmen who volunteered their time to transform the home of the family.

Mr Mangnall, whose LazyLawn operation is run from Harwood, said: “We were approached by the BBC to donate our services to assist with the renovation of Stephen and Rebecca’s two-bedroom home.

“When we saw the sorry state of the garden, which was a paved terrace backyard, we knew that a LazyLawn would completely transform it and create a nice area for the children to play.

“It was great to be a part of the project and to see the reaction of the couple when their new house and garden were revealed — they loved the LazyLawn and the fact they won’t have to mow it.”

Mr O’Mara and Ms Webb were nominated for the home and garden make-over after struggling to find enough space for their family-of-five.

The DIY SOS team, including presenter Nick Knowles, and local tradesmen had just nine days to complete the job.

“Due to all of the work being carried out throughout the property, we didn’t have much time to do the installation, but I’m proud to say we completed it very successfully,” said Mr Mangnall.

LazyLawn also worked with DIY SOS in 2012, donating its time and turf for Children in Need project in Scotland.

The synthetic turf specialist has already gained a number of well-known fans, including Amanda Holden and Alan Titchmarsh, and is the artificial turf of choice for JD Wetherspoon, Centre Parcs and Selfridges. LazyLawn was also the first artificial grass brand to ever appear at the Chelsea Flower Show and has installed the Big Brother garden for eight consecutive years.

l DIY SOS will air on BBC One at 8pm tomorrow.
