Artificial grass has become an increasingly popular choice for 21st-century homeowners. However, many still question whether it is truly a worthwhile investment for their garden spaces.
There are some downsides, such as losing the environmental benefits of real grass. Still, flowers and other plants will compensate for that. In the meantime, here are some of the major benefits that you can gain from opting for artificial grass installations.
1- Year-round beauty
The most obvious reason for choosing artificial grass is that it delivers stunning results throughout the year. The grass stays green at all times, unlike real grass that will die out in winter. Moreover, artificial lawns do not succumb to adverse weather such as heavy rain or harsh sunlight. Once you’ve selected the right appearance, that’s exactly what you will get.
In addition to year-round beauty, you can benefit from the fact that the artificial grass can last for between 10 years and 20 years with little care. Unlocking your garden’s potential becomes easy.
2- Easy integration
The lawn is a central feature of any garden design. Still, it isn’t the only key feature. If you truly want to unleash the full potential of your outside spaces, you must consider the whole area. The uniform and constant aesthetic of artificial grass makes it easier to design and maintain a patio that suits it. Similarly, making the right plant choices, both type and position becomes easier.
Achieving a more complete look for your garden will take your enjoyment of it to new heights. Even items like garden buildings will be supported by the switch to artificial grass. Embrace it.
3- A safer choice
When making any home updates, safety should be a key consideration. Artificial grass is a great choice for anybody who suffers with hay fever and related allergies. Furthermore, artificial grass is a safer choice for both children and pets. It provides the softer landing associated with grass. Only without the issues associated with mud and potential grass stains.
As well as protecting your family, this can protect their clothes and prevent mud from entering the home. When coupled with improved drainage, this is the ideal solution.
4- Versatile designs
Technically, you can design a lawn using real grass in more intricate shapes too. However, keeping the grass to the right length can be challenging when dealing with curved perimeters or paving slabs. Artificial grass does not suffer from this problem. Likewise, there is no threat of damaging any of the surrounding garden features, which is great for your mindset.
Ultimately, it is a lawn and you are unlikely to go crazy. Still, you can have lines and sections if you like. Crucially, though, if your garden has a peculiar shape, it won’t cause an issue.
5- Easy maintenance
The thought of designing a beautiful garden space probably won’t overwhelm you. Sadly, the prospect of maintaining it is far more daunting. An artificial lawn saves you from mowing, which is arguably the most time-consuming task. Moreover, it saves you the cost and storage needs related to lawnmowers. Better still, there’s no need to address patches or discolouration.
Gardening can be an enjoyable task, but mowing the lawn is far less enjoyable. So, if you want to spend less time treating the garden and more time enjoying it, artificial lawns are ideal.
