2 Artificial Grass in Your Garden Looking to artificial grass for your garden is not always the first thought from the average homeowner when faced with the dilemma of what to do with the patch of worn, discoloured lawn you ve had for years. It may be the case that when most of us think of artificial grass, we think of AstroTurf or the mat the greengrocer lays out his wares on at the market. The fact is that artificial grass has come a long way in the last few years, and many people today are often hard-pressed to tell the difference. Apart from this, there are other benefits to the installation of artificial grass. Let s take a closer look: 1. Save the planet Get to take part in saving our very own planet by reducing carbon emissions and toxic fertiliser. People often overlook the power of artificial grass in the issue of changing global climate. In the current day world water, fuel and the environment need to be conserved. When you use plastic grass, you may think that you are anti-environmentfriendly while in real sense you are playing a big part in saving the planet. Real grass has to be mowed and fertilised now and then: picture this; if all the home owners with lawns decided to mow their gardens every week, there would be too much pollution! Make a wise choice. 2. Low-maintenance Watering and mowing natural grass is just cumbersome, and can be a lot of hard work. Millions of litres of water can be saved if the modern world adopted artificial grass. The grass by design appears green all through. The way to clean the turf is by spraying water with a hose. A few sprays here and there and you

3 have yourself a tidy lawn. Use only a stiff brush to remove surface debris, or pick up by hand. Be happy knowing that your lawn looks tidy and green all through. People who have natural grass in their gardens suffer in a big way in maintaining their lawn in summer, an artificial lawn can put a stop to back-breaking maintenance tasks for good. 3. Suitable for all garden types and uses Growing natural grass on some unusually located gardens e.g. area where there is an influx of foot traffic, can be a hard endeavour. A good quality, hardwearing artificial lawn is perfect for domestic, commercial and display gardens, and provides a comfortable walking medium for the elderly. The hard-wearing properties of some types of artificial lawn make them ideal for children s play areas and other high-traffic zones. Artificial grass can be easily fitted anywhere with good preparation - along a concrete path, around your garden, behind your house. The different yarn types available consider the fact that different homes and commercial requirements vary in setting and design: Children s play areas Households with pets Outside party areas Display gardens Temporary exhibition gardens Homes for the Elderly School nurseries Sports fields

It has become almost impossible to make out the difference between the real thing and the plastic. This is because of the quality of the yarns used individually to make the grass carpet. For a first glance you will be staring at properly maintained, living grass and will have to get up pretty close to tell the difference. Feel good when people complement you on how tidy your lawn is. You don t even have to tell them that it is artificial. Just have fun with it and leave it up to them to pick out the difference. Taking the Plunge It is important to consider all your options before you go ahead and replace your tired old turf with new. Take some time to really look at artificial grass. Some suppliers will offer free samples to help you to choose, and will support you to make sure you order only exactly what you need. Be careful of cheap imitations and get customized artificial grass for your lawn. There is a wide variety of yarn types to choose from, in different colour shades and blade lengths. Whatever your choice is, match the appearance of your surroundings with artificial grass, and wave goodbye to summer lawn maintenance.
