How To Use Your Garden All Year Round
There’s nothing like the sight of your green coated garden in the summertime as grass and flowers combine to create a stunning landscape outside your back door.
However, this beautiful sensation ends all too quickly when the always too short British summer comes to a close and the range of colours in your garden appears to dissipate and be replaced with various shades of grey.
If only there was a way to have your garden look like that all year round? Well there is! The idea of artificial grass can be an immediate turn-off to many, and there was a time when it was clearly the inferior choice, but times have changed, and artificial is now a legitimate alternative to real grass, and also a great way to not dread the winter so much.
Benefits of artificial turf
Obviously there is the perk of being able to enjoy an evergreen lawn all year round, which simply cannot be overstated, but that is not the only benefit to using artificial grass.
Do you know those wet days when the kids are playing in the garden, come in for lunch, and suddenly your kitchen floor looks like a mud bath? With artificial grass, such worries can be a thing of the past! You also will have no need to worry about a football game between your children resulting in huge patches of bare earth around your garden.
Not only that, but the games that are normally restricted to the summer time because the grass disappears in the winter, they can be played all year round now. As long as you and your family are willing to brave whatever weather a British winter has decided to throw at you, there’ll always be a beautiful, grassy garden for you to sit in, play in, or simply just look at and enjoy. If the sun is shining, your lawn will be lush and dry.
It’s not that a natural grass garden can’t be a beautiful thing, but the amount of maintenance that is necessary can take a lot of the fun out of the garden, and a lot of time away from you.
Artificial grass needs a lot less care, and you will no longer need to prepare your lawn for winter, so you will have time to make plans, maybe focus on that flower bed you’ve never had time for, and make the rest of your garden match up to the stunning quality that your grass has!
Rising profile
Far behind us are the days when fake grass was seen as the worst thing you could possibly do. Now, the concept is being more incorporated by more people than you may realise. You know that neighbour who has the perfect grass and you have no idea how they’ve managed it? Well it’s almost definitely because the grass is artificial.
The buzz around artificial grass cannot be missed, the media is realising the popularity and you won’t have to search long to find a positive article on the topic.
From an aesthetic perspective, artificial grass looks better, and you won’t lose the view when the sun retires for the year. From a functional perspective, there is no risk of mud in your house, or uneven grass on your law, artificial grass is simply the sensible choice.
