There are so many benefits of synthetic turf, we’ve had to really sit down and carefully curate our top ten. If you’re tossing up between choosing a real grass or fake grass for your commercial or large scale residential space, this blog will really highlight the many benefits of artificial grass.
Reason #1: Low Maintenance
The main reason to choose synthetic grass over natural grass is because it is low maintenance. While there are some ways you can best care for your artificial turf, it’s much less work than pushing a mower or fighting with the whipper-snipper every week or two.
Reason #2: No Need for Harsh Chemicals or Fertilisers
Installing artificial grass is better for the environment as there is no need for weed killers, harsh fertilisers, or toxic insecticides. Such harmful chemicals act as carcinogens if accidentally inhaled, or can even kill friendly wildlife if they consume any contaminated groundwater or freshly sprayed grass.
Reason #3: Cost Effective
The average artificial grass lawn will last around 15 years. Sure, it may seem like an expensive feat to have artificial grass installed on a larger scale, but because it is so long-lasting and low-maintenance you will reap the rewards for years to come.
Real lawns can attract costs from chemicals and water rates to maintenance equipment and labour (if you’re outsourcing). Synthetic turf, on the other hand, has a higher initial cost but you can essentially forget about it once it is in place.
Reason #4: Aesthetically Pleasing
Another main reason to choose artificial turf over its natural counterpart is because it really is easier on the eye. The beautiful, consistent green shade won’t fade quickly and is less likely to become patchy and uneven. It adds value to any space it is in, purely for the purpose of aesthetics.
Reason #5: Better for Accessibility
Because synthetic turf is low maintenance and provides a smoother surface than natural grass it is a better choice for the disabled or elderly community. The low maintenance properties of artificial fake grass make it more appealing for residential spaces as there is less need for difficult laborious movements. Commercial spaces should opt for artificial grass as it makes the business less isolating for groups that are less able-bodied.
Reason #6: Child and Pet Friendly
Artificial grass is more child and pet friendly as it is more cushioning under foot or if there is a fall. The lack of chemicals and naturally occurring allergens real lawn produces makes it a safer option for our babies that just love running around outside.
Reason #7: No Stubborn Grass or Dirt Stains
On that note, if your little ones are prone to playing rough and are forever coming home covered in green grass or dirty mud stains, artificial grass is definitely the option for you. No more Napisan soaks required!
Reason #8: Not Dependent on Weather
Whether you’re in far North Queensland or the southernmost tip of Tasmania, synthetic turf is built to withstand all types of ruthless Australian conditions. Artificial grass is made to last through the harshest droughts or floods.
Reason #9: Wide Variety of Colours, Lengths and Styles
There is an endless range of colours, lengths and styles you can choose from when it comes to fake lawn. That’s right, not all of them are an unrealistically bright green. You can check out our product range to see our variety of natural-looking synthetic turf.
Reason #10: Withstands High Traffic
Regardless of how high the foot traffic is, artificial lawns won’t succumb to wear and tear anywhere as quick as natural grass lawns. This means there is less maintenance required and no need to fence off certain areas or shake your fist as people who decide to walk on the grass that you’re trying so hard to grow back.
