Landscaping & External Works Transforming Your Garden with Artificial Grass How are people using artificial grass in their gardens? The beauty of artificial grass is that there are few limitations to how you can use it, which allows people to be more creative with their gardens no matter the size of the space. Over the past few years, artificial grass has become a popular solution for many, and it has started to revolutionise the possibilities of domestic garden design. At Prestige Lawns, we have seen artificial grass trends come and go, however, these are the two that haven’t gone away and are very effective for turning a small domestic garden into something special. Multi-layered gardens A garden with multiple levels allows you to create sections in the space, 66 and add new, interesting features in an otherwise ordinary garden. In housing estates especially where gardens are usually smaller, a multi-layered lawn creates the illusion of a larger space. With natural grass, a terraced garden can quickly start to look unkempt and disorganised, however artificial grass keeps each layer looking neat and uniform, which creates a clean and smart-looking space that’s both functional and beautiful.
