The Benefits of Artificial Grass

The juicy green grass of a British garden represents an iconic symbol of our culture, heritage and history.

From the famous turf of Wimbledon tennis courts right the way to the playing fields of Eton – and all the village cricket greens scattered around the country. The perfect English lawn is a mark of hard work mowing, watering and, unfortunately, polluting our planet with chemicals.

Luckily, we have taken a great step into the future, not only being able to have perfect lawns, but helping the environment and making it easier for us to keep them looking perfect.

We all want to make life easier for ourselves, particularly when it comes to maintaining our home. There are countless benefits to having artificial grass installed in your garden.

One of the best reasons for switching to artificial grass is there will be less mud and dirt trailed into your house. Your kids will be able to play outside all day without getting muddy, even if it’s been raining the night before, and your pets won’t be covered in grass stains when doing their business outside. Plus, you can even get rid of your lawn mower!

Here are just a few benefits of having artificial grass in your garden rather than dull natural grass:

1. No Maintenance

One of the biggest benefits of artificial grass is the little maintenance you need to do to keep it looking great. Every now and again you'll need to brush off the leaves but an apart from that it looks after itself.

You can get rid of your old lawn mower and kick back and relax. You will have more time to do the stuff you love.

2. Help the environment

You won't use as much water as you don’t need to keep your artificial grass hydrated like you do with real grass. So not only can our get rid of your sprinklers, but your harmful pesticides too. Just by installing artificial grass you can do your part in looking after the environment.

3. Perfect for rented properties

A tenant may not want to spend more money on their water bill to keep grass looking good that’s not theirs, but landlords will want all aspects of their property to be kept in good condition.

Having an artificial lawn installed in your rental property is a great solution for both parties.

4. It looks amazing

Natural grass needs sunlight to thrive. Areas of the grass that is in constant shade tend to be yellow and dry when not looked after well, but the artificial grass looks good in all parts of your garden with no extra care needed.
