RTE - Room to Improve
Did you see us?
We were delighted to be involved in a recent installment of RTE - Room to Improve where our synthetic grass was once again used to tremendous effect in the garden of one of the families.
In this, the third series of Room to Improve, Dermot Bannon is tested to his absolute limits. With budgets ranging from 35 to 120 thousand euro, Dermot Bannon must remodel eight homes, from concept to completion.
Each one. Built for now. But designed for the future.
Midsummer Magic in Temple Bar
Fire, Fair and Fun on the Longest Day of the Year - 20th – 21st June
Temple Bar Cultural Trust celebrated Midsummer in Temple Bar on June 20th and 21st as we saluted the sun with fire, feasting and film. A way to experience Temple Bar like you we never experienced it before. Meeting House Square was transformed into an urban meadow (supplied by Sanctuary Synthetics) with a carpet of grass for the duration of the festivities.
There was lots of fun for all the family. We hope to do the same next year.
Check out our gallery for some pics of the weekend
A New Partnership
We are delighted to announce a partnership in association with the Irish Native Woodland Trust (which is a not for profit registered charity). For every synthetic garden over 30m2 we install (and/or for every 40m2 grass delivery) we will plant a native tree in protected woodland, (which costs €34 per tree) currently in a new forest in County Leitrim, to help cancel out the carbon footprint of our 100% recycalable synthetic lawns.
Furthermore a certificate from the Irish Native Woodland Trust will be posted within 1 month to all sanctuarysynthetic customers.

Dear Mark,
I just wanted to write and thank you and your crew of workers for a job so well done.
Since you’ve left we have used the back garden nearly every day and Aisling is now a keen footballer as a result! Where before I had to tell her I’d have to check and see how mucky it was out there, I can now leave her off out there rain or shine. It makes a big difference to her, as she loves to be outdoors as much as she can be. The dogs even seem happier and spend a lot more time prancing around out there than they did previously (maybe that’s the lack of digging facilities!). I’m reaping the rewards with the lack of mopping that now needs to be done – the difference is massive, and it makes my life much easier to know that the garden’s clean and safe for everyone. I have been no good at pretending to people that the lawn is real. I’ve told everyone who’s admired it that it’s not – and been proud to do so! I’ve already passed on the last sample you gave us to a friend who is interested and I know I have someone else who wants to come see it as she has dogs too and is thinking along the same lines.
Again, thank you for doing such a great job on both the front and the back gardens. The guys that did the work were hard workers who never seemed to stop, but at the same time they were a friendly and polite bunch and it was a pleasure having them around. We were delighted to see the place transformed so speedily and so well.
Again, many thanks to you and to your crew for the job you did.
Best regards,
Alison Murphy
