WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ARTIFICIAL GRASS ?
• No cutting , so you don ’ t need to own a lawnmower .
• No need to deal with weeds or buy pesticides and fertiliser for your artificial grass . This saves an unbelievable amount of time and money in the long term !
• No dead or discoloured patches of grass ( With real grass , those usually take tons of feeding , watering , nurturing , talking to , and then still have to be replaced …)
This is all great for the environment too !
With summer approaching it ’ s time to start thinking about spending time in the garden . But before you can relax and enjoy the sunshine , we ’ re pretty sure you ’ ll have some lawn maintenance to attend to first .
If you are fed up with regularly mowing your lawn , edging the grass and removing moss and weeds from it , then it could be time to consider making the switch to artificial grass .
But isn ’ t a natural lawn better ? We so often hear that ‘ natural is better ’, but is that always the case ? Artificial grass is surprisingly friendly to the environment and to your pocket – not to mention saving countless hours of hard work .
It ’ s also a fantastic option for small balconies , roof terraces , school play areas , concrete yards , and community gardens .
Is artificial grass or ‘ real ’ grass the best option for you ? The longer we work with it , the more advantages to artificial grass we find ! Here are the factors we think are most important when making your choice …
Artificial Grass Is Easy To Maintain After working hard all week , the last thing any of us wants to spend our evenings and weekends on is mowing the lawn or pulling out weeds . Not having to do this at all , ever , is possibly the greatest benefit of artificial grass .
Second to that is the cleanliness . Rinsing with water is generally all your artificial grass really needs . Alright , maybe use a pressure hose and mild detergent if there have been parties and pets involved , but you ’ ll soon find one of the many advantages of artificial lawn is that it will be gleaming green again in no time .
The hassle-free happiness doesn ’ t end there :
• You don ’ t need to water it , aside from occasional cleaning , so you save time and water .
Artificial Grass Is Pet Friendly Do your dogs and cats love the garden ? Do they dig huge holes in the lawn and track muddy footprints into the house ? Do they eat grass and make you worry about what pesticides , bugs and other strange things they have consumed in the process ?
Pets love playing and basking in the sun on artificial grass , and they don ’ t even think about all the other trouble they would be causing with the real stuff because the scent is completely different . Artificial grass is safe if they do eat a blade or two by mistake , and so easy to clean if they use it as a litter tray .
Artificial Grass Is Stylish We love artificial grass because it looks great from every angle , every day of the year . It will be the exact shape you want it to be , and will never grow over edges or under paving .
You don ’ t have to worry about your lawn getting the right amount of sun or too much frost , and you can leave it for days , weeks or months and know it will still look great on your return – even during a brutal UK winter .
