The recent warm
weather coupled with the coronavirus lockdown has had more people turning to
their gardens to be able to get outside and enjoy some fresh air and sunshine.
But while there has been a rise in people taking up gardening, why would anyone
want artificial grass?
There are many
reasons, and advantages to artificial grass. Not everyone has the extra time to
be taking care of their gardens and lawns, some people have severe pollen
allergies that make real grass a hazard, and some may have disabilities or
restrictions that leave them unable to dedicate time to gardening.
The advantages are
plain and simple. From saving money to saving time, especially on lawn
maintenance, and it can also improve lifestyle and help with environmental issues. Here are some benefits:
Aesthetics
There are a wide
range of artificial grass products ideal for all landscaping needs, for both
residential and commercial properties.
An Artificial lawn
looks and feels just like well maintained natural grass all year round even
during the harshest of British
climates. There are fewer of the drawbacks associated with natural grass
such as herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and watering.
Maintenance Friendly
Artificial grass
needs much less of the maintenance of natural grass which, for example,
requires care every day during summer, and you can spend your time doing other
things than mowing and watering.
It’s more a matter of
keeping clean than maintaining.
•
Remove organic materials from the surface,
typically by using a leaf blower.
•
A stiff, natural bristle broom can be used to “fluff” high traffic areas.
•
In case of turf with sand infill, you may have
to add some sand infill once a year in high usage areas.
The Environment
Artificial grass installations have helped
save millions of litres of water. Also, operating a lawnmower for one hour
emits the same amount of pollutants as driving a car 100 kilometres. Year after
year, millions of kilos of chemicals are used to upkeep grass lawns. With
Artificial grass, you get the aesthetic value of a perfectly maintained grass
lawn without the environmental drawbacks of natural grass.
