The Benefits Of Artificial Grass

Discover the Unbeatable Benefits of Artificial Grass: Transforming Your Outdoor Space Are you tired of spending endless hours mowing, watering, and maintaining your natural lawn? Do you dream of having a lush, green yard all year round without the hassle? Look no further than artificial grass! In recent years, artificial grass has gained immense popularity, revolutionizing outdoor spaces and providing homeowners with a range of unbeatable benefits. Let's explore why artificial grass is becoming the go-to choice for those seeking a low-maintenance, visually stunning, and eco-friendly alternative to natural grass. Low Maintenance, High Appeal One of the most significant advantages of artificial grass is its minimal maintenance requirements. Say goodbye to mowing, weeding, and fertilizing. Unlike natural grass, artificial turf doesn't require constant upkeep. With artificial grass, your lawn will always look perfectly manicured, saving you valuable time and effort. Year-Round Lushness Regardless of the season or weather conditions, artificial grass retains its vibrant green colour and impeccable appearance. It remains lush and inviting throughout the year, providing a consistent, visually appealing landscape for your outdoor space.

With natural grass, a significant amount of water is wasted on regular irrigation. Artificial grass eliminates the need for watering, reducing water consumption and helping to conserve this precious resource. Additionally, synthetic turf doesn't require harmful pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers, making it an environmentally conscious choice. Durability and Longevity Artificial grass is designed to withstand heavy foot traffic, making it perfect for families, pets, and entertaining guests.

Artificial Grass is a Winner – Whatever the Weather!

Artificial Grass is a Winner – Whatever the Weather! Artificial grass is a hardy beast, but you may have concerns about the changeable and unpredictable nature of the weather here in the UK. It might surprise you to learn that an artificial lawn is generally much easier to manage regardless of the weather conditions or temperature. Artificial grass is hay fever friendly in the summer months and UV stabilised. In contrast, an artificial lawn will tolerate far more extreme weather conditions than the natural alternative when the inevitable cold weather and storms arrive. Artificial grass is an all-around winner!  Whether the weather is wet or dry, Ecograss will help! We will alleviate the worst of your weather worries.  If My Garden is Susceptible to Flooding, Will an Artificial Lawn Help? On average, one square meter of an artificial lawn will drain around 50 litres of water per minute. Even in the UK’s heaviest rain – this is more than substantial. Your location will determine the options available, and we will go through everything with you during the planning and installation phases. Rainwater simply syphons away when we install an artificial lawn. All Ecograss artificial lawns are installed with drainage in mind with a sub-layer of porous sand/limestone or both. We fit artificial grass by first levelling the base and we also remove any debris. This results in a sustainable and beautiful artificial lawn that lasts for years to come. A more extensive drainage system may be required in more extreme circumstances, but these situations are uncommon. We will always ensure the best outcome with minimum fuss and outlay. How Will My Artificial Lawn Fair in Snow and Icy Conditions? If your artificial lawn becomes frozen, like any grass or surface, it may become slippery so take care! Remove as much…

You could even have half and half; half of your balcony concrete, the other artificial grass, giving you the best of both worlds. With artificial grass being so versatile, you can be as creative as you like! Not just floor space With such a limited floor space on a balcony, you need to use the area around you.
