Before we look at just how much you can save with artificial grass, we should look at some of its many benefits to help you determine if it is the right landscaping material for your garden.

Durability and Longevity:
Synthetic turf is renowned for its durability and longevity. Unlike natural grass, which can become patchy and brown over time, synthetic turf maintains its vibrant appearance year after year. It can withstand heavy foot traffic, harsh weather conditions, and even pet use without showing signs of wear and tear. This durability ensures that your investment in synthetic turf will continue to pay off for many years to come, further enhancing its cost-effectiveness.

Water Conservation:
Another significant advantage of synthetic turf is its ability to conserve water. In today’s environmentally conscious world, water conservation is more critical than ever. Synthetic turf eliminates the need for excessive watering, helping to conserve precious natural resources and reduce water bills. By choosing synthetic turf, homeowners and businesses can contribute to sustainability efforts while also saving costs in the long run.

Versatility and Customization:
Synthetic turf offers endless possibilities for customization, allowing you to create the perfect landscape for your needs. Whether you’re looking to design a lush backyard oasis, a low-maintenance commercial space, or a pristine putting green, synthetic turf can be tailored to suit your preferences. Its versatility makes it an ideal choice for a wide range of applications, from residential gardens to sports fields to rooftop terraces. Whatever your landscaping goals may be, synthetic turf provides a cost-effective solution that delivers stunning results.

Eco-Friendly: With no watering required, imitation grass conserves water, and with no mowing, pesticides, or fertiliser required, it reduces both air pollution and ground pollution.

Safe For Children: Fake grass has come a long way in recent years, and it is softer than ever before. It perfect for children and the ideal landscaping material for under swings and climbing frames.

Pet-Friendly: Soft on sensitive paws, artificial turf is pet-friendly and perfect for both gardens and pet-runs. It does not attract fleas and ticks like real turf, and it completely mud-free.

Green All Year Round: The beauty of astroturf is that it is UV stabilised and so it never fades. It retains its lush, green appearance all year round, and you’ll never have to worry about bald patches and brown spots again.

Saving Money With Artificial Grass

With so many benefits, it is easy to understand why artificial grass is one of the fastest-growing gardening trends in the UK. Its versatility knows no bounds, but it is its money-saving features that homeowners, businesses, and schools love most. Here’s how you’ll save money with a synthetic lawn.

No More Lawnmower Costs

Natural lawns need regular mowing to keep them looking their best, and good quality lawnmowers are expensive to buy and run. There are many options available in the UK, with electric lawnmowers, battery lawnmowers, and petrol-powered lawnmowers being the most popular, but they all cost money in terms of fuel and maintenance.

Petrol lawnmowers are more powerful than electric mowers, and so they could save time when it comes to mowing a large garden, but they are costly to run and, they have a negative impact on the environment. They can create a disturbing amount of pollution if not well maintained, and they take up a great deal of storage space in the garage.

No Need To Buy Fertiliser, Weed Killer, and Pesticides

Unless you are blessed with good soil and a bug-free garden, you are likely to need fertilisers, pesticides, and weed killers to keep your natural lawn looking its best. And while these chemicals are essential for weed, pest, and disease control, they are both costly and toxic.

If installed correctly, artificial grass is weed-free, so you’ll never have to use toxic weed-killer again. It doesn’t attract insects and garden critters so you can banish pesticides for good, and it doesn’t need fertiliser to make it grow. You can remove all these harmful substances from your garden with the installation of an imitation lawn, and create a 100% non-toxic garden to enjoy with your children and pets.

Choose a Quality Artificial Grass to Ensure an Excellent Investment

Good quality artificial grass can last anywhere between 15 and 20 years, depending on usage level.So far in this article we have discovered some of the many ways artificial grass can save you money. When you add up these costs, in many instances people start to see a return on their investment after just five years.

This makes the initial outlay of having an artificial lawn installed an excellent investment in your property.But to get a good quality, long-lasting fake grass, it’s a wise choice to choose a premium artificial turf and not be fooled into buying a poor quality synthetic grass.

It’s a false economy to buy a cheap artificial turf as you’ll find that the colour will quickly fade and there will be large amounts of fibre loss, resulting in a patchy artificial lawn that may need to be replaced after just a few years.

Different types of application will require different grades of artificial grass, as well.For instance, a front garden lawn that will receive very little foot traffic would be best off with an artificial grass made from polypropylene.

But for a back garden that will receive heavy use from dogs and/or children, we highly recommend choosing a hardwearing, nylon-manufactured artificial grass.

These grasses come with our unique Instant Recovery Technology, which ensures that the fibres recover extremely well from foot traffic and garden furniture.

You’ll Save Yourself Time

Many people believe that life is too short to be spent doing things you don’t want to do. For some people, this may include maintaining a garden lawn.

In today’s society, many of us spend long hours at work and the amount of spare time the average person gets these days is reducing more and more.

Therefore, it makes perfect sense to want to spend your free time relaxing or enjoying yourself with friends and family.

Compared to a real lawn, the maintenance requirements of artificial grass are minimal and take a fraction of the time.

They’ll also be no more mud, sludge or mess, and best of all – no mowing. You’ll be able to say goodbye to the days, evenings or weekends spent praying the lawnmower will start then traipsing up and down the lawn.

For more information on artificial lawn maintenance, you may find our previous guide, ‘The Ultimate Artificial Grass Maintenance Guide’, a useful read.

It’s estimated that the average person will spend up to two months of their lifetime mowing the lawn. That’s two months of wasted time that you’ll never be able to get back again.

Time is the most valuable commodity of all and with artificial grass, you’ll give yourself more free time to spend doing the things you enjoy the most.

With its long-term cost savings, durability, water conservation benefits, and versatility, synthetic turf offers unmatched value for homeowners and businesses alike. So why wait?
