Artificial Grass

Our Guide to Artificial Grass

Artificial grass is a fantastic, low maintenance choice for all kinds of garden spaces. Artificial grass gives you a beautiful, natural-looking green space without the maintenance of a full grass lawn. That means no need to weed, water or mow your grass, just set it and forget it!
Artificial grass can also be used for lots of other areas in your outdoor spaces, such as pet habitats, swimming pools, roof gardens, play areas and putting greens, to name a few. They’re pet friendly and easy to clean, as many can just be sprayed and wiped down using regular detergent, making it simple to keep looking it’s best, as well as being soft and comfortable to walk, run and play on for little feet, or little paws!

Artificial grass is also popular for use on balconies as it gives your home a little bit of greenery. They’re also excellent for the environment, as they don’t need regular water or pesticides – great for smaller spaces and those of us who have neighbours close by. Finally, with around 13 million people in the UK suffering from hayfever each year, spring and summer can be miserable for lots of us. With grass pollen being one of the main culprits, artificial grass can provide hayfever sufferers with a bit of relief when gardens are in full bloom! The short length of artificial grass doesn’t just reduce pollen in your garden, it also doesn’t trap as much allergy-causing dust, dirt or debris as natural grass lawns.

Top Uses For Artificial Grass

Artificial grass is a great alternative to real grass and requires less maintenance, whilst being more resilient. If you own a family home and have children, you’ll know that they like to spend a lot of time in the garden, playing, kicking footballs, and running around which can have adverse effects on your grass. Keeping your lawn in good condition, when it’s subject to so much action from your youngsters can be very difficult, especially if it’s the height of summer and it’s struggling to get the moisture it needs to remain lush and healthy. Artificial grass doesn’t suffer wear and tear in the same way as real grass and, therefore, always looks its best. The weather will have minimal impact on your artificial lawn as well, which means you can enjoy a healthy-looking garden all year round, no matter the weather conditions.

If your children are very active and like spending lots of time in the garden, it’s likely that toys and equipment get left out for long periods, which can have a very damaging effect on your grass. For example, if they are keen footballers and have a goal set up in the garden, this can damage the grass underneath the posts if left out for an extended period. The posts starve the grass of sunlight and the continuous pressure can damage the blades of grass, leaving wilted brown grass in its place. This is just part of the wear and tear real grass can suffer as it’s actually more fragile than you may think. With artificial turf, this issue is completely eradicated and you can leave as much equipment out for as long as you wish without fear of discolouration.

Quality artificial lawns will last up to 20 years, meaning your investment in synthetic grass will go a long way. You won’t need to do any maintenance either, as artificial lawns are designed to be self-draining when it rains and will remain robust throughout. Of course, the amount of use your grass gets will impact the quality of it over time, but the chances of it becoming flattened or damaged are far lower than if you chose real grass. The minimal amount of upkeep needed with fake grass eradicates the need for any chemicals or excessive watering in an attempt to maintain a healthy appearance. If you have young children or pets, artificial grass can actually prove much safer as it doesn’t need any harmful chemicals to maintain it and it won’t house bugs or mites that can bite and cause infections in animals and toddlers.

Artificial lawns are also a great option for those who are looking to refurbish their garden in favour of a more modern, luxury appearance. Stylish garden furniture can look out of place on an overgrown or damaged natural lawn, whereas synthetic turf will maintain its healthy green colour and tidy appearance as if it has just been freshly cut. Synthetic grass installation also favours the more specific requirements of a garden upgrade, for example, once the infill is in place, the artificial lawn grass can be cut to a certain size in order to fit in the garden perfectly. This allows customers to get a neat and complete looking lawn on the day of installation, whereas traditional grass lawns are much more difficult to cut into shape and will require weeks of care, attention, and you won’t be able to walk on it until it’s fully rooted.
