Low maintenance, cost effective and often energy efficient, it is no surprise that artificial turf has soared in popularity over the past few years. Leading UK supplier Grass Warehouse seeing increased interest especially during the pandemic, and the easy solution continues to be a popular choice among those improving their gardens.
Considering switching to an artificial lawn, but still not sure if it’s right for you? Here is a list of five different reasons why you might want to consider a fake grass garden in 2023.
Reducing Water Use
Want to reduce your water use in 2023? Bills are of course a huge concern for a lot of people as prices seem to be on the rise, so turning to a fake lawn can help keep the cost of your water bill down. Artificial grass it doesn’t require any watering (unless you decide to use the occasional hose if you need to mow), reduces water usage, and saves natural resources in the process.
Low maintenance
Perhaps one of the biggest benefits of switching to an artificial lawn is the amount of time you will save maintaining your garden. Not only will you no longer have to mow your lawn regularly, but you’ll also no longer need to regularly weed or even fertilize with potentially harmful chemicals (especially if you are a pet owner).A fake lawn, on the other hand, requires only occasional brushing to keep it looking fresh and natural, freeing up time you would normally spend on maintenance and allowing you to use it for other gardening tasks, or simply relaxing and enjoying your outdoor space.
Durability
Provided you choose a good quality range, artificial grass is extremely durable and hard-wearing, maintaining a bright, freshly cut finish regardless of the weather. Again, reputable suppliers like Grass Warehouse offer UV guarantees to ensure that the ranges keep their natural color, and there are even pet-friendly ranges for those worried about their furry friends causing havoc in the garden.
In addition to standard use in gardens, the durable nature of artificial grass makes it a great choice for high-traffic areas, such as children’s play areas or even in commercial spaces. It’s become a popular fixture on rooftop bars, for example.
Environmental Benefits
Some are unsure about the environmental impact of switching to an artificial grass garden over traditional grass, but there are energy-saving benefits. In addition to cutting water use mentioned above and reducing harmful chemicals through pesticides, premium quality grass from a reputable supplier lasts a long time, cuts the use of natural resources and saves money over time.
If you’re looking for the right balance between simplicity and being environmentally conscious, you might decide to install planters, hedges, or flower beds around your new yard.
Convenience and Finish
With many ranges and styles to choose from, it’s easy to achieve the perfect green grass you’ve always dreamed of with artificial grass. The plush, thick pile range is also very comfortable, and allows you to enjoy your garden space any time of year.
Want something a little out of the ordinary? If traditional lush greens aren’t your style, you may even opt to opt for a colored synthetic grass range instead, something that is becoming increasingly popular in office spaces as a one-of-a-kind fixture.
