1. Time Better Spent with Family
Completing the daily tasks can be quite the challenge. Juggling the laundry, wrestling with the hoover and cooking the tea are only a spec in the abundance of household chores we tend to. When it comes to the garden, it rarely gets a look in! Artificial grass eliminates the need to mow, weed or hose. Giving you more family time to play in the garden with the kids.

Muddy footprints and grass-stained clothes are one less thing to worry too about as artificial grass is fitted over a sand sub base, banishing the mud!
More time can be spent in the garden as a super-efficient drainage system speeds up the drying process, allowing you to get outdoors quicker and more often.
2. Save Money
When the budget is tight, the last thing you want to do is waste money on maintaining a lawn. Small spends on seeds, chemical enhancers, weed killers and gardening tools sharp add up.

Once the grass is down, grab your sun lounger and enjoy the summer on your immaculately preserved lawn. The only upkeep you may require is a simple brush down with a household broom to restore the blades. You can also save on fitting costs with a self-install.
