Advantages of Artificial Grass
Why are so many people are turning to artificial grass? The advantages, 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 examples:
Low maintenance – generating savings on time and up-keep costs. This applies to homeowners, the elderly for whom maintenance is not practical, second/holiday home owners and also organisations such as local councils who have to maintain roadside verges, city parks and pathways
No watering – ideal where water is scarce or in hosepipe/sprinkler ban areas. For those on water meters it also offers a saving - during warm weather it’s estimated that as much as 75% of residential water is used to irrigate lawns.
Better for the environment – no need
for pesticides and mowing. Our section about the Environmental
Benefits of Artificial Grass details how pesticides, lawn
mowing and even grass clippings themselves can be harmful to
the environment.
Durability with visual appeal – ideal for effective, low maintenance landscaping and play areas.
Ideal for areas of heavy usage – no more slippery, muddy areas, no more muddy shoes or muddy dogs’ paws to have to clean up! Also, no more replacing dead patches of grass. For the sports industry it means pitches which can be used more regularly, avoiding undue interruption from bad weather or overuse. International sports organisations such as FIFA are now advocating the use of artificial turf and have introduced a series of international standards.
All year round green – aesthetically pleasing to the eye no matter what time of year. No more yellow patches on your lawn and no more weeds staring back at you!
Cleaner and more hygienically safe – no degradation by pets. Our dedicated section about pets and artificial grass carries more detailed information.
Very effective where natural grass is not a practical option – such as in a conservatory or part of a roof garden, around a swimming pool, in a shopping centre or exhibition/display area, as office carpeting or for use on television, stage and film sets.
