Reasons Why Artificial Grass is Better Than Natural Lawn?

Homes and businesses across the UK are making the switch to artificial turf, this isn’t the fake-looking, fading stuff used to display fruit and veg at the greengrocer. Today’s artificial grass is nearly identical to the real thing. Customers love artificial grass thanks to its low maintenance properties, easy installation and durability. But don’t just take our word for it!

In this article, we have compiled our knowledge to create a comprehensive guide comparing artificial grass vs natural lawns. By the end of this article, you should be fully aware of why artificial grass is superior including maintenance and cost-effectiveness, to help you make an informed decision about what is best for you.

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.

Amazing from start to finish!!

Nitii and the team came through on a recommendation and they did an amazing job! They were very professional, clean, hardworking and did a great job with my garden - even when I asked for changes to be made to the original plan, they were absolutely fine with it and were more than accommodating 😊 I will certainly be recommending them to friends and family, in fact they went to do my mums garden a week after mine. She also had a great experience with them and has also recommended to friends. Thank you for creating a clean, tidy and magical place for us to enjoy outside now.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Saygrass for the installation, supply, and maintenance of artificial grass at my home, and I couldn't be more thrilled with the results.

It looks incredibly natural and feels great underfoot. My yard has been transformed into a lush, green oasis that stays perfect all year round, no matter the weather. The installation team was professional, punctual, and highly skilled. They paid attention to every detail, ensuring that the grass was laid out perfectly. The crew was respectful of my property and left everything clean and tidy after the job was done. Saygrass also offers excellent maintenance services. They provided me with all the necessary information and tips to keep my lawn looking its best, and their follow-up service has been top-notch. Whenever I have a question or need assistance, their customer service team is always friendly and prompt in their responses. Overall, I highly recommend Saygrass to anyone considering artificial grass for their home or business. Their combination of high-quality products, expert installation, and outstanding customer service makes them the best in the industry.

From the very first consultation to the final touches, my experience with SayGrass Artificial Grass Company has been nothing short of remarkable. The grass they've installed feels incredibly natural, almost indistinguishable from real grass. It's lush, vibrant, and soft underfoot. My children and pets have taken an instant liking to it, and I've noticed they spend much more time outdoors now. The team was professional, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about their work. They listened to my vision, made valuable suggestions, and executed the project flawlessly.
