BEHIND THE ART GRASS REVOLUTION

We talk to Quick Turfs about the pros and cons of artificial grass

As you may know, artificial grass is there to replace real grass and it can be done anywhere, from your backyard to a business park or even a golf course. Now, you might be wondering why on earth would you want to replace natural grass with synthetic grass, but that is simply because you are not aware of the benefits of artificial grass.

Read on and you might just consider converting your lawn, or at least parts of your garden with artificial grass this year.

UNBEATABLE AESTHETICS

Who doesn’t want to have green, long, luscious grass all year round? You can go outside and feel the soft freshness on your feet whether it be winter or summer, the quality will never change. Synthetic grass has been designed to completely transform your grass into something durable, beautiful as well as valuable.

EASY MAINTENANCE

Are you sick and tired of having to water the grass, trim it, pick out weeds and pay a gardener to come to fix everything? Artificial grass has almost zero maintenance. This also makes it perfect to use at your holiday home so that when you go there, your grass will remain fresh and neat. Aside from being easy to keep clean, it also removes the need for harmful pesticides and fertilisers which makes it child and pet friendly all year round.

PLAYGROUND FOR THE KIDS

As we all know, real grass can be fun to play on, but also a bit of a hazard to kids. There might be thorns, spiders or other little critters in there that might just harm your little one. With artificial grass, you do not need to worry about this. Your kids can have a safe playground all year round which is clean and fun all at the same time.

IT SAVES YOU WATER AND MONEY

The average South African spends 200 litres of water each day on their gardens, according to The Gardener. Even though it’s not noticeable, water spent on natural gardens is an incredible waste during a drought. Compared to natural grass, the amount of water spent on an artificial lawn is tiny. Why? Because artificial grass only needs to be watered twice a month. This means you’ll be able to allocate the extra water to more important things. The long-lasting nature of artificial grass means you’ll not only save in water, but in finances too.

NON-ALLERGENIC

Are you one of those people who get crazy sinus reactions to freshly cut grass or pollen in summer? Say goodbye to all your sorrows as synthetic grass will not have this effect on you. Get rid of those sinus problems while still enjoying a fresh-looking lawn all year round.
