Low Maintenance

One of the key reasons for making the switch to artificial grass is the time you save from its fuss-free maintenance requirements.

Natural turf requires regular trimming, watering and general upkeep to keep it looking healthy and green. However, one heavy downpour of rain, or pet urine, and your once-green grass is now a patchy, sludgy mess. The hours spent trying maintaining your natural lawn quickly add up, so it can be disappointing when it doesn’t look good.

Artificial turf on the other hand, requires only minimal maintenance. Rinsing the lawn occasionally removes dust and potential odours from pet waste. Artificial grass from Grass Warehouse is also covered by fantastic UV protection warranty, meaning your grass will stay vibrant and full all year round. The synthetic fibres have excellent stain resistant properties and are reinforced to withstand even high foot traffic areas. With a range of pile heights, you can also choose the look to suit your needs, from short and smart, to plush and luxurious, with no mowing required.

Better for the environment

We all want to make steps to protect the environment, and little steps can help contribute to the reduction of our carbon footprint. Whilst nothing is 100% eco-friendly, when it comes to artificial grass vs natural lawn, there are many ways artificial is better.

As we mentioned before, owners of natural grass can spend hours mowing, watering and applying fertilisers. Not only is this time-consuming, it can also release harmful fumes into the atmosphere and waste resources. The beauty of artificial grass is it doesn’t require any of this.

Our artificial grass is made by leading European manufacturers, using carefully selected high-quality materials, so you can be assured that when ordering from Grass Warehouse you are choosing a solution that is both safe for you and the environment.

You can choose the length you want, and it will stay looking perfectly manicured all year round, which means no fumes from the lawn mower. During installation, proper preparation and a simple membrane will be enough to keep out any weeds, preventing the need for application of toxic chemicals which can seep into the water system, better for the planet and those who use the grass. When it comes to watering, artificial turf does not require an intensive irrigation routine. The lovely British rain will do it’s bit keeping your grass clean, you’ll just need to hose it down every so often if your pets do their business on it.

It is More Cost Effective

Artificial grass can work out cheaper than real grass over time. This is because natural grass becomes expensive when you add up the cost of grass seeds, watering, lawnmower, weed killers and other garden tools. When installed correctly, artificial grass can last for 20 years, making it far more cost-effective than real grass over its lifespan.

Something else to consider is the cost of installation. When laying your artificial turf it is possible to do it yourself, however, if you want to maximise its lifespan then we recommend professional installation. A professional installation will cost a bit more than a seeded lawn. However, with little maintenance costs, artificial grass pays for itself within a relatively short period.

Conclusion

The reasons why artificial grass is superior to natural turf are clear. Artificial grass is low maintenance, environmentally friendly, durable and cost-effective, offering a green, vibrant space that you can enjoy all year round.

I have had problems with my turf for the last 4 years and been laid three times found no solution but to look at the option of astroturf. Having 5-6 different surveys, Saygrass was the most consultive understanding and understanding of my concerns having two dogs. From completing the survey I managed to receive a quote within 15 minutes. After booking installation was complete in 2 weeks. The team were friendly experienced knowledgeable and complete the job in less than half a day. There was no mess and advised me on maintenance and aftercare. Can 100% highly recommend Saygrass, fantastic service .

Saygrass did a great job in my garden at a good price. Elly provided the best customer service - she was available to help throughout the entire process. I would recommend being present from start to finish to ensure things are being done exactly to your liking as there were a couple of things I wished were done a little differently - but nothing that has impinged on my enjoyment of the garden. I would use this company again.

This company is amazing. They go above and beyond your expectations. They are just too good.They laid my grass very very nicely and properly levelled the ground and everything else connected with the job was done to a very high standard. After completion they swept my garden and left everything very neatly. They are very polite and explain everything in detail. Owner and his team are genuine nice people.

I've only used the service for a free quote for a start and I very certainly will recommend it. I chanced on to the site while I was surfing the net for an artisan service. Now, I can gauge if I'm offered value for my money. More people need to know about this type of service. And also, the rep that came over to guage the job was very professional and represented well. Good job 👏 👍🏾 👌

Turned my nightmare mess of a garden into a dream garden! I can’t stop looking at it!

google

Had a maintenance clean for my artificial lawn. The guys were very thorough, patient and professional. They didn’t complain or rush the job even though the work took longer than anticipated as I hadn’t had a maintenance service for a long while. I will use SayGrass annually going forward.

google

At a little loss for words, spoke with a lovely person call Neeru. The initial conversation was positive, great phone etiquette. Was given an immediate price point as a reference. Upon searching around, they were the cheaper deal by at least 1k! I needed a quick turnaround too, Neeru was able to organise and get everything sorted within a week! Honestly shocked at the incredible speed of service, the people who came to complete the job were cordial, laid floor covers down to protect my floors and even swept up after they were done. Some things are expected, but this whole process has shown me that there are just some bits of class and customer service you can’t put a price on. Will be using them for every bit of Garden work from here on out!

Overall, it was a great experience with top service and installation.
