Common Myths About Artificial Grass – Debunked!

While artificial grass is a trendy solution for front lawns, there are many misconceptions about using it as an alternative turf. Here is some enlightenment busting some of the most popular myths surrounding it.

•  Artificial Grass Is Awful Looking

Artificial grass today looks nothing like the plastic lawn grass of yesterday. Modern synthetic grass is available in different colours and textures thanks to advances in materials and manufacturing; they look more like actual grass than ever before.

• It Overheats in the Summer

When it is subjected to direct sunlight, artificial grass can heat up; most quality products are constructed using technology that makes the product resistant against this. Simple measures such as shading, watering or simply sowing paler-coloured grass will make it more pleasant to sit on your lawn even on the hottest days.

• It Hurts the Environment

It saves water, chemical fertilisers and petrol mower emissions. This has made synthetic turf a considerably more eco-conscious product than one would guess at first glance, with increasingly greater numbers of companies using recycled materials and offering recyclable products.

• High Maintenance

Artificial grass is low-maintenance. Whilst not maintenance-free, it only requires periodic brushing, hosing off and removing debris and this will help maintain your lawn in the best shape.

• Harmful for kids and pets

Artificial grasses of a high quality are non toxic and intended to be safe for children as well as animals. Most of them come with soft underlays to cushion the feet, and good drainage.

With that in mind, put to bed (no pun intended) the myths about artificial grass and you can enjoy a practical, aesthetically appealing option for any contemporary garden.
