Shady garden idea to transform your outdoor space

Are you searching for shady garden ideas for dark, secluded space?

This family garden in Canterbury is surrounded by trees and tall bushes so it’s difficult for light to break through. Grass needs light just like any other plant, and when it struggles to get any it can suffer. For a garden like this, the grass becomes weak and when trampled by children finds it tricky to recover. That means your children end up running around in mud, with high chances of bringing it inside too.

One shady garden idea is artificial grass. It’s a relatively easy way to make a instant, lasting change to your garden. You don’t have to worry about whether your plants will survive, or wait for them to grow in. It takes 24 hours for the adhesive in an installation to set. After that you can use your lawn as much as you like!

Trulawn Kent have made this lawn much easier to use, enjoy and maintain through artificial grass. For areas like this we recommend paying a bit of extra attention to the maintenance. Where seeds and other plant matter can drop onto the lawn it’s ideal to sweep these up as soon as possible. Too much build up may block your drainage holes.
