Artificial Grass used to be heavily frowned upon as it was nowhere near having the real thing! People took pride in their homes and their gardens and ensured that they had luscious green lawns. Since then times have changed and now there is a whole range of artificial grass available which is extremely realistic just like real grass.
With the above in mind more and more people have opted for artificial grass installation and who can blame them when there are so many advantages to having it?
One of the major advantages is that all year around the artificial grass looks luscious and green no matter what the weather conditions. There will be no muddy patches or dead grass following the change in weather conditions; you can have the lawn you have dreamed of all year.
There is no need to mow the lawn anymore as the artificial grass surface will not grow; all that is required is for it to be brushed every now and again and for any debris to be removed from the surface in order to avoid any staining. In addition to this you may need to hose down the surface as this will aid in the removal of any debris and keep it clean.
Plus for families artificial grass installation is a must! It means that if your active and love being outdoors with the kids then artificial grass surfacing is ideal because even if it’s used non-stop it will not wear down and create permanent mud patches.
If you have pets too then rest assured because the artificial grass surface is pet friendly and ideal for families who maybe have a dog. So long as any urine or excrement is removed from the surface then it will not stain and most dogs love the artificial surface once it has been installed.
It's no wonder that DCM Surfaces are carrying out artificial grass installation all over the UK! There are so many advantages to artificial grass not to mention that it has an aesthetic appeal too, all year round no matter what the weather!
