Lots of people have gardens, in fact it’s a deal breaker for a lot of potential home owners. But whilst the idea of a garden is all well and good, they can actually require a lot of maintenance. Especially when there are seasonal problems no one told you about! Here are the top three costs you could potentially reduce by switching to artificial grass…
Monetary cost…
If you think you spend too much money trying to look after your garden it’s probably because you do! If you’re constantly re-seeding, fertilising, or weeding your lawn with no avail it might be time to think about the fake stuff. Whilst an initial overlay might seem expensive it is an investment that is expected to last for at least fifteen years and saves you the trouble of constantly trying to rectify lawn problems. Not to mention the amount of water you save in watering, the energy saved in mowing or the petrol you save not going to the landfill.
Physical cost…
Some gardens can require a lot of work to keep them looking good. Whilst research suggests that light gardening can be good for your health, constant digging or lifting can be bad for your back. If your lawn is struggling under too much water or shade it can become difficult to try and bring it back to life or keep it from dying. This can be a lot of extra work for someone to take on and can be especially difficult for those less able bodied. Artificial grass is a low maintenance alternative that looks just like the real stuff but requires a fraction of the attention to look good.
Time cost…
Your free time is probably one of the biggest sacrifices you have to make to take care of a garden. You can often spend more time making it look good than actually using it which is a real pain after a long week at work. This is where a fake lawn comes in – it’s evergreen, never needs cutting, and still feels great underfoot. All it needs is a brush every now and again to give it a bit of a spruce! Fake grass is the perfect way to reclaim some of that free time spent doing boring chores when you could be simply enjoying the time you have at home and in the garden.
