11 reasons why it is worth putting in artificial grass: LawnHub shares the benefits of artificial grass

1. Your garden will look perfect all year round, no matter the season, as the weather will have no impact on the grass.
2. Artificial grass doesn’t need watering so reduces water usage.
3. Artificial grass doesn’t need mowing or a lot of maintenance.
4. With less maintenance it makes it a good option for people who spend long periods of time away from home, the elderly and people with busy lifestyles who may find it difficult to maintain their garden.
5. Artificial grass is versatile enough to be used on areas where real grass can’t grow, such as balconies and roof terraces, areas that don’t get the sun and even indoors. Artificial grass also works commercially for outdoor entertaining areas, restaurants, cafés and pubs and within nurseries, schools and play areas.
6. It is ideal for shaded areas as artificial grass doesn’t need the sun to grow and stay looking fresh and healthy. Without sunlight, real grass can die, making shaded areas difficult to care for. Artificial grass won’t turn brown, making it ideal for shaded areas where real turf struggles to grow.
7. Our artificial grass is all child and pet friendly. Crucially for many people, artificial grass is practical for children and pets. Our mid to top range artificial grass all have a luxurious pile that is soft for those tiny feet and sensitive paws, while remaining dense enough to cushion those accidental falls. The denser the pile of the artificial grass, the easier it is to pick up after dogs and cats. It can then be easily hosed down and, using some pet friendly disinfectant, will keep your garden looking and smelling its best.
8. It looks great all year round. Most real, natural grasses only look nice for a short period of the year. When there’s too much sun in summer, they often turn yellow or brown and when it rains too much they get soggy and muddy. Not so artificial grass, which stays green all year round. There are never any muddy or bald patches.
9. Artificial grass lasts much longer than real grass and doesn’t need to be maintained or reseeded every year. It will stay fresh and usable for many, many years; all of LawnHub’s artificial grass’ have a 7-year manufacturer’s guarantee and a life expectancy of approximately 15 years.
10. LawnHub’s artificial grass is UV resistant for protection against the sun. This means it won’t fade or discolour in sunlight and will maintain its vibrant green colour.
11. Flexible price for any budget. The wide range of artificial grass products available mean that anyone who wants to, can find the perfect artificial grass to suit both their lawn needs and personal budget to help create and enhance the perfect garden.
