The benefits of using artificial grass for your garden
Artificial grass has become a new option in home landscaping which, for many homeowners, provides a hassle-free and evergreen alternative to natural grass. Artificial grass is an increasingly popular option for homeowners for a variety of reasons.

Artificial Grass over Natural Grass

Artificial grass is greener and more vibrant than natural grass. In addition to this, it maintains its intense colour all year round and does not develop discoloured patches due to grass diseases, a lack of water or due to pests. For homeowners who want to skip the dullness of winter grass, or for those who live in drought-affected areas, artificial grass is a good option. 

For homeowners with busy lives who do not have the extra hours required for garden maintenance, artificial grass provides a stress-free solution to creating a beautiful backyard. Artificial grass does not require maintenance such as mowing, fertilising or watering. All that needs to be done to achieve the green, luscious garden lawn you want is to lay down the artificial turf.

Artificial grass is also a good turf option for environmentally conscious homeowners. This is because artificial grass does not need any of the energy-reliant maintenance practices that natural grass needs to thrive, and thus leaves a smaller carbon footprint. For example, artificial grass does not need the constant maintenance of lawn mowers or grass cutters. In addition to this, artificial grass products are also available as a recycled option, which contributes to green incentives and is cheaper than other artificial grass variants.

In the long term, artificial grass lawns will save you money because they cut costs on maintenance and when replacement is necessary, are often cheaper than the natural equivalent of replacing a lawn with squares of real, sprouting grass.
