Where have we been???
Well here we are, 3 years after my last post, at the start of another beautiful sunny morning - and about to start another fantastic, low maintenance, Unreal Gardens transformation. This one truly is a challenge to behold as we tackle masses of overgrowth and previous attempts at remedying our customers garden. Big day in 30 degrees heat, but this is why we are so good at what we do. Check bag later on our Facebook page and here to see results of the transformation as it takes shape... More to follow soon.

Beautiful Morning - In Fact It's UNREAL!!
Well what a gorgeous morning we are blessed with today - The suns shining, wind has dropped, birds are singing and there isnt a cloud in sight.
I dont need much of an excuse to get out in the garden at this time of the year but I'm sure I'm not alone when I say that being outdoors in the nice weather we 'occasionally' get makes you feel so much better somehow. I'm sure i've read somewhere that there is actually a scientific reason behind this and it possibly has something to do with sunlight which generates vitamin D in your skin.
Here are 15 facts which you may or may not know about vitamin D and why moderate exposure to sun and the great outdoors is good for you:
1. Vitamin D is produced by your skin in response to exposure to ultraviolet radiation from natural sunlight.
2. The healing rays of natural sunlight (that generate vitamin D in your skin) cannot penetrate glass. So you don't generate vitamin D when sitting in your car or home.
3. It is nearly impossible to get adequate amounts of vitamin D from your diet. Sunlight exposure is the only reliable way to generate vitamin D in your own body.
4. A person would have to drink ten tall glasses of vitamin D fortified milk each day just to get minimum levels of vitamin D into their diet.
5. The further you live from the equator, the longer exposure you need to the sun in order to generate vitamin D. Canada, the UK and most U.S. states are far from the equator
6. People with dark skin pigmentation may need 20 - 30 times as much exposure to sunlight as fair-skinned people to generate the same amount of vitamin D. That's why prostate cancer is epidemic among black men -- it's a simple, but widespread, sunlight deficiency.
7.Sufficient levels of vitamin D are crucial for calcium absorption in your intestines. Without sufficient vitamin D, your body cannot absorb calcium, rendering calcium supplements useless.
8. Chronic vitamin D deficiency cannot be reversed overnight: it takes months of vitamin D supplementation and sunlight exposure to rebuild the body's bones and nervous system.
9. Even weak sunscreens (SPF=8) block your body's ability to generate vitamin D by 95%. This is how sunscreen products actually cause disease -- by creating a critical vitamin deficiency in the body.
10. It is impossible to generate too much vitamin D in your body from sunlight exposure: your body will self-regulate and only generate what it needs.
11. If it hurts to press firmly on your sternum, you may be suffering from chronic vitamin D deficiency right now
12. Vitamin D is "activated" in your body by your kidneys and liver before it can be used.
13. Having kidney disease or liver damage can greatly impair your body's ability to activate circulating vitamin D.
14. The sunscreen industry doesn't want you to know that your body actually needs sunlight exposure because that realization would mean lower sales of sunscreen products.
15. Even though vitamin D is one of the most powerful healing chemicals in your body, your body makes it absolutely free. No prescription required.

So naturally we say get out there and enjoy your gardens and why not spend more time actually in them rather than working on them - Our HQ Gardens are ready year round for us to simply get out there and enjoy - just fabulous!!

Unreal Show Garden & New Developments
Our first month in our new show garden and warehouse/workshop has gone really well. Lots of new people have stopped by offering encouraging comments and taken away a little more than they originally came with. Its still amazes me how many people still come and ask questions like, "Will that grow any bigger than that" or "Where can I learn to prune them and feed them properly" It's all kind of tantamount to what our whole ethos is - Unreal, being fantastic as well as artificial.
We anticipated being fairly quiet on the Artificial Grass Installation side of the business, but I have to say I have been pleasantly surprised. I think that more and more people want their gardens to be usable all year round instead of constrained to just spring and summer. More and more people are taking up our decking covering service, which if your garden is anything like mine then during the winter months it is like an ice skating rink. If you cover the deck area with our artificial grass (which can be made to size) then the area can still be completely usable and completely safe and then if you so require come spring you can take the grass cover off and have the decking back again.
And for those of you into golf - you can even turn it into your very own putting green!!
December saw us enter into a new partnership with R3 Products of Sheffield who specialise in the manufacture of a range of products using recycled plastics. One of the core products in their range and also that of Unreal Solutions & Unreal Gardens, is the Gravel & Grass Stabilisation System - R Pave. R Pave is one of only a few systems currently available which are truly UK Manufactured and completely unique as well as being patent protected. A great deal of research has gone into the product development and we are pleased to be associated with R3 and have the product included in our portfolio of products and services.
The image above shows R Pave in its various colour offerings from black, to light blue/grey and green making the product suitable for a wide range of surfaces from road planings, pea gravel and flint, to grass reinforcement.
For more information on the product either call in to the Workshop, call us on 01472 349700 or visit our webpage: http://www.unrealgardens.co.uk/Ground-Stabilisation-Systems.html
There is a great deal to be said about these products and much of which has been said time and again, but there is no escaping the fact that they offer a low cost and effective means of installing a truly permeable, low maintenance, system in a quick and efficient manner - it must be good as I've even done my own front garden - complete with Artificial Grass (Images Below)
If you have a project in mind, maybe a driveway extension or a lawn replacement - why not call us and see how we can transform your part of the world?
