ARTIFICIAL GRASS
WHY GOOD QUALITY
ARTIFICIAL GRASS
PROVES THE GRASS IS GREENER ON THE
OTHER SIDE
Artificial grass is a fantastic hassle-
free investment, but not all grass is
created equal and for the untrained
eye, picking a good quality product
can be difficult task. Adrian
Buttress, managing director at
PermaLawn, discusses the difference
between cheap and high-quality
artificial grass options and explains
why it’s worth investing upfront for
long-term benefits.
It’s inaccurate to only compare
price when choosing products – and
artificial grass is no exception to
the rule. Cost comparison in any
industry is always on a like-for-like
basis. However, in the grass market,
that difference is far more than
simply pile height and price.
When something is cheaper, it’s
usually because you are getting less
product. There is only so far you can
go when cutting production costs
before you start hitting problems.
For example, while it all looks the
same when it is brand new on
the roll, that will change once the
artificial grass has been exposed to
the elements.
Cheap products may have that
unbelievably tempting price, but if it
starts failing sooner than you think,
it actually becomes a very costly
investment for the homeowner and
a reputation-damaging project for
the contractor or landscaper.
Choosing a lawn that looks
realistic and stands the test of
time
Like most things, manufacturers can
take shortcuts in the production
process to save themselves time and
money, which allows them to offer
their artificial grass at a lower price
than their competitors.
