Realistic Artificial Grass - At Last We Can Have Synthetic Turf in Our Own Gardens
Artificial grass has recently become a prominent talking point within the landscaping world. The reason? This time it has a memory! The latest generation artificial grass is said to have no need for sand in fill, and will continuously spring right back to its original up right position as soon as there is no weight on it.
Artificial grass has become a higher profile product in the landscaping world over the last few years mainly as an option for the shaded garden or lawn or a lawn which is prone to flooding.
Previous attempts at realistic artificial grass have fallen short, but that is about to change. The latest generation product has a fibre surface that is a mixture of different greens; and this makes it far more like a newly cut lawn.
In the past, particularly with a small sample, artificial grass always looked unrealistic. The fitter would explain that sand must go on top of the surface and this is what would help the grass to stand up and mirror the look of natural grass.
Other benefits gained from not having to fill the artificial surface with sand will be the time saved by not having to spread the sand and re- spread it at various times of the year when the lawn starts to look flat. The price of the overall job when the cost of the sand is included, can soon mount up too, as well as the fact that the lawn is far quicker to lay if you do not have to spread the sand as well.
Artificial grass has applications such as in children’s play areas which might otherwise get very muddy and where wear and tear will be high because of frequent use. Other applications will include commercial developments where maintenance of ‘real ‘grass is an issue, because of cost implications. In the domestic environment it can also be useful in roof top gardens and terraces, for example. If you are planning on re-turfing your garden, you might want to to check out the artificial grass solutions offered by QGrass Ltd first, it looks great, it’s far easier to look after, and will save a fortune in the long run.
Of course, artificial grass also comes into its own where grass is difficult to maintain in good condition because of climate. Ideal applications of artificial grass is on particular areas of golf courses, for example, where continual watering is needed to keep real grass in good condition. So golf courses in countries such as Spain, Portugal and Dubai would also no doubt benefit from using the latest quality artificial grass.
Artificial grass also absorbs water as part of the drying process and allows the water to drain into the soil underneath, so there is no significant water ‘run off’ from the grass.
In other words, your lawn will end up perfect - not muddy and not a barren desert, and all with virtually zero maintenance.
It doesn’t get any better than that in my book.
