Spring is on its way, and with a brand new season comes the chance to bring life to your garden once again.
There are a lot of tasks to do in spring as the weather improves and flowers begin to blossom, but it is also time to ask serious questions about what you want your garden to look like and how much time and energy you have to take care of it yourself.
We offer a wide range of landscaping services, but if you want the beauty of a green garden but with practically no maintenance requirements, it might be worth considering installing artificial grass to reduce the amount of gardening work you need to do.
Isartificial grass the right choice for you? The best way to know is to ask yourself these questions, and if the answer to any of them is yes, it might be worth getting in touch and seeing what your options are.
Do You Want A Low-Maintenance Garden?
If you want a beautiful green lawn, a lot of preparation needs to be done just before and just afterspring starts in the middle of March.
You need to sort out your base layer, topsoil, compost or mulch, sprinkle lawn grass seeds in the right consistency, using fertiliser, water the garden and then consistently mow it when it grows out.
Artificial turf is the exact length you want it to be as soon as you install it, and it needs almost no effort to maintain.
Are You Worried About Your Water Bill?
Depending on where you live, rising water bills and hosepipe bans can be common frustrations that can be infuriating when trying to maintain a beautiful garden, and a huge cost pressure for many homes is a well-manicured lawn.
Thankfully, artificial grass requires no watering, and this can not only save money but also save vital water for drinking and washing.
Do You Want A Green Garden All Year Round?
A tragedy for many gardeners is that for almost half the year, their garden is not as lush and verdant as they would like it to be. Wet, cold winters can be devastating to lawns, in particular, leaving a formerly lush spot of grass tired and lifeless.
Artificial grass does not have this problem; it always looks green all year round, and that beauty can be so important for tackling the winter blues.
Is Your Back Yard Completely Paved Over?
Some back yards have been paved over or completely covered by concrete in order to create larger patios, which means that converting them from a concrete jungle into a beautiful grassy wonderland can be prohibitively difficult.
Whilst it is seldom impossible to completely make it so nothing will ever grow again, it can be very difficult to take a paved-over garden and restore the various soil layers so grass and flowers will properly grow on it again.
If that is not an option or you are unable to make the landscaping commitments it would require, artificial grass is an effective alternative that is very simple to install.
