Help Your Lawn Survive The Winter

Unexpected weather can wreak havoc on your garden, whether it’s a massive downpour or a snow flurry, there are some weathers natural grass can’t cope with. That’s a shame if you use your garden regularly for playing, entertaining, or as a place for your pets to run around and do their business.

If your lawn has trouble recovering after experiencing cold weather then fake grass may the solution for you. Here are three reasons artificial grass can really benefit you through the winter period, where a natural lawn may let you down.

1. Stable draining base

Our installation involves putting in an aggregate base made of porous materials that allows water to pass into the ground rather than sit on the surface. If you experience a lot of rain this will drain through, and it is the same for melted snow. The great thing is, your grass won’t drown or die off from water exposure, meaning it won’t be replaced by moss either. We do recommend you let snow melt naturally though rather than using salts as this can affect drainage in the long run.

2. Strong, durable material

It’s no secret artificial grass is made of plastic, and this makes it durable when it comes to cold weather. Whereas natural grass blades can be weakened by snow or frost artificial grass will remain strong. If there is a lot of snow, grass can become compacted under the weight. Fake grass just needs a bit of a brush after it has melted and the grass will spring back up again.

3. No awkward period of recovery

It can be a long wait from winter to spring, especially if your grass needs to be resown and regrow. This is tough if you have pets that need to use the garden everyday to do their business, with muddy paw prints coming through the house all through the season. Fake grass is a surface that is usable all year round and will make pets happy to go outside in winter.

Whatever the weather, a fake lawn will stay green and tidy all through winter. If you’re interested in having artificial grass in your garden then give us a call today on 0800 2100461 or contact us via email.
