Enjoy Your Easter With An Artificial Lawn

Well, it's that time of year again ... you're just contemplating the nice idea of a quiet Easter holiday and you remember the garden!

You know there'll be plenty of tidying up and replanting to do, especially after the worst winter in Britain for 30 years, but then you console yourself that annual replanting is a part of every garden and there's nothing you can do about the weather. So you accept to just get on with it with the hope that it won't take up all the holiday you have.

Then that sinking feeling sets in ... you just remembered the lawn! You look at the faded, patchy, muddy, weed-ridden, mossy mess and contemplate what it will take to get it in shape.You start paging through seed catalogues, get the mower out of the shed for an overhaul and tune-up; then come the visits to the local garden centre for pesticides to sort out the moss and weeds. The notion of a relaxing Easter break is now a mere fantasy ... and all in pursuit of that 'perfect lawn'.

What a waste! With an artificial lawn you can throw away the mower and do Mother Nature a favour by abandoning pesticides AND saving on water this summer. And that's not all ... the kids and the dog won't be bringing in muddy feet to the house any more either and every Easter from now on you can relax.

The initial cost of installing an artificial lawn will of course be more than the annual cost to revamp your old natural grass lawn BUT it's the lifetime savings that add up - no more seeding, fertilizing, trimming, mowing, strimming, watering plus all the time you will have saved ... time you can spend doing far more valuable and enjoyable things. In addition, there are the environmental benefits.

If you still need convincing, look at these 'before' and 'after' photos ...

Yes, it's the same garden! And if that's not enough to convince you, you can read about the advantages of artificial grass and check out our Artificial Grass FAQ section.

We rest our case!

Common Questions About Artificial Grass

Artificial grass is now well established as a product for today's 'Lifestyle'. Its benefits are recognised across a broad spectrum of applications, especially in the private, homeowner sector where gardens, lawns and children's play grass play an important role.

Despite this, however, artificial grass remains an enigma to some people, even though they may have heard of it or seen it before. We know because we get asked the same questions day after day! Not that we mind that - as manufacturers of artificial grass products with the UK's oldest, established artificial grass factory, we take pride in our knowledge of the product and are more than happy to share our expertise with the public. Indeed, we find that a well informed enquirer makes for a very good customer because of the confidence they develop when their questions are answered.

"Is artificial grass as good as grass?" is perhaps the most common question we are asked. Follow the link to one of our previous blog posts which deals with this in detail.

Here are some of the other more common artificial grass questions:
  • Do I need to water the grass?
  • What about the colour fastness of artificial grass?
  • Will weeds grow on the artificial grass?
  • Do I need to worry about insects?
  • What happens if local utility services need to be accessed?
  • Answers to these and a whole range of other questions can be found on our Artificial Grass FAQ (page 3).
If of course you have a question to which you cannot find an answer on our artificial grass website then by all means call our Customer Service on UK Freephone 0800 6521281.
