A decade ago, no gardener worth their salt would admit to having an artificial lawn. Fake grass was stiff, ugly and an utterly unconvincing substitute for the real thing. In recent years, however, it has been growing in popularity and respectability, with fans like The X Factor judge Amanda Holden singing its praises. This year, fake grass even made its debut at the Chelsea Flower Show, when it was used to line a shed roof (although its use is still banned in the show gardens).
The main reason for the increasing acceptance of artificial lawns is the enormous improvement in quality. The first generation of artificial grass was made of basic quality plastic, became waterlogged and lost its vibrant colour after a few years.
Today's replica lawns have a porous Latex matting for fast drainage, and keep their colour and shape for over a decade. From a distance, many of them look just like the real thing, and there's no doubt that they offer some great advantages. For a start, there's minimal maintenance involved - no mowing, spiking, feeding or watering is required, just the occasional brush and regular hosing down to remove dirt and leaves.
The life expectancy can be up to 15 years.
CASE STUDY ONE
6 months ago, our garden could only be described as a jungle! After the removal of wild overgrowing trees and brambles and many skips, the project could then be started to install EASY LAWN. |
CASE STUDY TWO
Mr and Mrs Prenger had 50 square metre of back garden area that had been concrete paved for a number of years. It was now time for EASY LAWN. |
CASE STUDY THREE
Mr Harte wanted to tidy up his tired looking 6m x 5m side garden area of tarmac and decided that the way forward was artificial grass with EASY LAWN. |
CASE STUDY FOUR
Miss Dawson had her back patio extended with hardwood decking with decorative led lighting and just needed to finish off the lower area of the 14 square metre garden area with EASY LAWN. |
