The grass is always greener on the other side … and at this point, it’s probably luscious artificial turf.

Perhaps this has also inspired you to make over the pool area and prompted you to recently move the trampoline to make your backyard more appealing, but now there’s a large brown patch where it used to be. There is also evidence, in the form of chunks of missing lawn, that demonstrates the kid’s love of soccer and your dog’s love of burying bones. To add to that there’s been a heatwave, the sprinklers are on the blink, and the lawn is drier than the Sahara.

What should you do? Artificial grass can be your answer to all of these issues and more. Read on to find out the top benefits of using artificial grass.

1. Beautifully Manicured Gardens All Year Round

Keeping your garden looking healthy, green, and well cared for takes a lot of time and effort. There are a number of methods you can employ to ensure your garden looks manicured at all times. You can push the mower around each and every Sunday morning and set the sprinkler to do its thing at sunrise, noon, and sunset. Unfortunately working hard on your garden will leave you less time to relax on loungers in the sun's warmth.

You can prevent the dead patch under the trampoline by removing it all together, but we doubt the children will be happy with that option. They will miss happily bouncing on the trampoline, enjoying the fresh air and sunshine. You could build a dog run for your dog, but he will have to say goodbye to racing around the garden. The good news is there is an easier way to maintain a manicured garden without restricting family fun. The grass will be consistently greener if you replace your parched, unhealthy grass for authentic-looking artificial turf.

2. You Can Recycle, Reuse And Rejuvenate

Artificial grass is lustrous, dense, and soft to the touch.

Have you ever considered a lawn that has been recycled? What do you think happens to large artificial turf pitches or sporting areas when turf gets changed out? Sometimes, it's just thrown in a landfill, but there are also companies working to reduce waste by repurposing old product. 

Repurposed artificial grass is available for a fraction of the cost of new turf.

3. You Can Use Artificial Grass for Numerous Design Projects

It’s not just for gardens either, as recycled turf could be used for a multitude of projects. Play areas are great for children, providing them with access to outdoor space and the opportunity to socialize and play with their peers. Play equipment is best set on a soft base, as children have a habit of collecting bumps and scrapes while racing about. Artificial grass makes for a soft landing when an inevitable trip or fall occurs.

Organizations and schools can benefit by setting up an attractive play area and outdoor learning space. Getting children outside can enhance their learning and is a great way to get them more interested. Schools very often have a tight budget and need to find maximum bang for their buck; recycled synthetic turf is an economically friendly option for overhauling or adding a sports field, or for any outdoor (or indoor) space.

Artificial grass offcuts can be used in various inventive and unique ways, for numerous design projects. There are crafted hedge sculptures and gardeners carefully pruning majestic peacocks and other eye-catching designs to sit proudly outside the home. It may take a little patience, but artificial grass can be used in the creation of sculptures; they will look good and require no pruning. Or how about updating the summer house? Cover the floor with artificial grass and rejuvenate tired pillows by stitching artificial grass onto the pillowcase. You can even use off-cuts to cover the inside of flip-flops, nothing like the feeling of grass between your toes!

4. Embracing the Great Outdoors Makes You Feel Alive!

It is high time to stop bemoaning the grass being greener on the other side and acquire your own!

Investing in recycled artificial grass makes sense. It is an environmentally friendly option, an economically sound option and will free up that time you usually spend on garden maintenance. Create a superb space that brings you closer to nature and helps you feel at one with the world.
