Having a verdant green lawn is the dream of many homeowners, and these days more people are choosing to use artificial grass to achieve it. With so many advantages over natural turf, it’s easy to see why.
Here are a few of the numerous benefits of using artificial grass in your garden.
Firstly, having artificial grass ensures that your lawn looks fantastic all year round. These days artificial grass is very natural and realistic, not to mention it will maintain its lush green colour regardless of how much rain or sun it gets. That means you can enjoy a stunning garden even if it’s in an area where real grass would struggle to grow. Artificial grass can also be installed next to flowerbeds with real plants, so you can still grow vibrant blossoms in your garden.
People commonly people think of artificial grass as being used in gardens and sports facilities. However, in reality, it’s much more versatile than this. You can install it on terraces, balconies, rooftops, patios, pool areas, and many other spots where it would be difficult to grow real grass. In fact, you can even use artificial grass inside your home, for example, to create a unique kids’ playroom, home office, or games room. The possibilities are only limited by your imagination!
One of the reasons people choose artificial grass is that it’s so low maintenance in comparison to real turf. There’s no need to mow it, use fertiliser on it, or even water it – so you expect lower water bills too! All you need to do is give it a brush every now and again to remove any leaves or other debris that has landed on it and keep it looking clean. If your grass does happen to get stained or starts to smell (for example if you have pets), you can simply use a special shampoo to disinfect and deodorise it.
Unlike real grass, which is at the mercy of the elements, artificial grass can thrive in almost all weather conditions. Its hardy nature means it won’t get damaged by wind, rain, or sun, so you don’t need to worry about issues such as muddy puddles forming or yellow and brown patches spoiling the look of your garden. This is beneficial if you live in an area that gets either too much rain or not enough!
