You’ve probably heard all about the incredible benefits that installing artificial grass provides. From low-maintenance solutions to child-friendly features, synthetic turf has quickly become a popular choice for homeowners and businesses looking to spruce up their space.
If you’re curious about how installing artificial grass can transform your space or enhance its functionality, here are six things to know about artificial grass:
It Offers a Natural Look & Feel
Artificial grass has come a long way since it was created in the 1950s. As technology has evolved, so has the look and feel of synthetic turf. Gone are the days when your artificial lawn looked too “plasticky” or was simply another green outdoor carpet. Now, your artificial turf can mimic the look and feel of “real” grass, providing a natural look and feel that will make you feel at ease in your garden.
Density, pile height and infill all play a role in ensuring your grass looks as natural as possible. So, speak to our professional Easigrass Berkshire team to help you determine an artificial grass product that suits your needs.
It’s Not Totally Maintenance Free
A common misconception is that artificial turf is a maintenance-free solution. While you’ll never have to worry about watering, mowing or reseeding your grass again, you will need to give your synthetic turf a little TLC to ensure it remains in tip-top condition.
Removing debris and organic matter, tackling stains such as grease and oil from your recent barbeque, and giving your grass a quick brush are all great ways to ensure your turf remains stunning.
Artificial Grass is Durable and Long Lasting
Did you know that your artificial grass can last for decades? Up to 20 if you maintain it correctly. Synthetic grass is built to withstand heavy foot traffic, extreme weather and UV exposure and can maintain its appearance over many years. However, if you want to reap the rewards of your turf, you will need to invest in quality products, experienced installers and a regular maintenance routine to ensure it lasts for two decades.
Your Kids & Pets Will Love It!
One of the many questions we get is whether artificial grass is safe for kids. The short answer is yes! But here’s the long answer anyway: Our artificial grass products are made from non-toxic materials and provide a soft and comfortable surface to play on. For little ones who love to roughhouse, parents will be happy to know that turf offers a soft surface that cushions falls! For extra safety, you’ll also have the option to add a shock-absorbing underlay to absorb those nasty trips and falls.
What’s more, artificial grass is super hygienic as it’s made with materials that are easy to clean and don’t attract any pests or mites.
Artificial Turf Boosts Your Kerb Appeal
First impressions last, especially when it comes to your home’s appearance. It’s a known fact that it only takes a split second to judge the aesthetic appeal of someone’s home, and a well-maintained lawn is essential to boosting your home’s value and appearance. Unfortunately, maintaining your outdoor space can take time, money and energy, and sometimes we don’t have all three.
Thankfully, artificial grass provides a wonderful low-maintenance alternative that looks stunning all year round, helping add value to your home without doing any major renovations. You’ll also have more time to enjoy your garden while spending less money and energy maintaining temperamental natural surfaces.
It Saves You Money in the Long Run
The initial cost of artificial turf may seem significant, but the long-term savings make it a cost-effective option for both homeowners and businesses. With no watering needed, you’ll not only be able to reduce your water usage, but your water bill too! With minimal maintenance required, you’ll also have the chance to say goodbye to expensive lawn care equipment and products.
