In the UK, there are plenty of gardens which suffer from balding. Whatever you do, you just can’t get that luscious grass to grow back! If your lawn has dry patches, don’t waste your time pouring costly and environmentally-damaging products onto the ground.
Artificial grass can keep your back yard looking perfect all year round and save you lots of money in the process (goodness knows, we haven’t got a lot of it to throw around).
Lawnmowers
Lawnmowers are expensive, a nuisance, noisy, and a piece of equipment that nobody wants to get lumped with. In the interest of keeping your back garden tidy, you’ve probably tried to get the kids to go outside and cut the grass for you, or bartered with (blackmailed) your partner to do the job.
Costing a lot of money in maintenance and fuel, you could save yourself plenty of dosh with artificial grass. It needs absolutely no mowing whatsoever! That’s one less time-wasting job to worry about.
Water
For many recession-battered homes across the UK, domestic bills have been challenging this year. With your garden requiring constant attention and watering, it’s not helping the situation. There are steps you can take towards reducing your water bill, but most effective of all is installing artificial grass. It needs no H2O!
Fertiliser
To get that luscious lawn of your dreams, you’ve probably tried everything you can think of, including fertiliser. Bags of this stuff are expensive and, depending on the size of your garden, you have a large surface area to cover. Many of these products also contain harmful chemicals that find their way into the eco system, so it’s just bad all around. Artificial grass looks full and bountiful, whatever the season – no more desperate trips to the garden centre.
Saving Time
Instead of wrestling with your lawn, you can spend your time more wisely. Whether that’s investing your free hours into a money-making project or just spending more time with your children, you deserve that time off to relax and enjoy your new, fuss-free garden. Time is money after all, and if you’ve been grafting at work all day, you should be unwinding; not heading out to toil in the back yard.
Long-Lasting
Many gardeners with lawns that just won’t grow have to put down new, fresh turf – this is exceptionally costly. With a one-off payment, you can have durable artificial grass in your back yard that won’t have to be replaced for decades. Natural-looking, but robust, synthetic turf can hold its own against the elements, dogs, and children’s muddy shoes.
Instead of turning into a swamp at the first sign of rain, your back garden will filter the water seamlessly and remain wholly intact, if you install artificial turf. Plus, no more grass stains!
Everyone deserves a lawn they can be proud of, but sometimes, nature isn’t very forgiving. Artificial grass could be the end of your gardening woes.
