Traffic Roundabout and Verges

 Now another place where our grass can be used is traffic roundabouts and verges. Although many of you won’t specifically be creating these, let us tell you why we believe the change from real lawn to fake grass is beneficial here. Not only does this reduce water consumption as it does not require watering, but it also stops the need to use unnecessary fuels for mowing and maintenance.  So it’s clear artificial grass can be used in many places, we have a huge array of grass to choose from too! From glow in the dark, to vibrant colours, to natural realistic lawn, we have a type to suit everyone and their needs. Why not have a look at our vast range and begin a transformation today?

Swimming Pool Surround

 Whether it’s a below or above ground pool, artificial grass will be a perfect companion. It will provide a dry place where no mud will go into the pool and a soft texture to be able to walk over barefoot.  Our fake turf has drainage holes so any water from splashes will quickly drain through. You’ll be able to relax and enjoy your pool without having any concerns about whether your grass will suffer. For an inflatable pool, artificial lawn will not discolour or die like a natural lawn would. 

Best Ways to Clean Artificial Grass

 How often should you clean fake grass? The beauty of fake grass is that it needs so little maintenance to keep it in good shape. When you consider that it can last for up to 15 years without losing its colour and texture, with no watering and no mowing, it can seem too good to be true. However, there are some tasks that should be carried out to maintain that longevity. Keeping it clear of debris, such as leaves and twigs, is an important job, particularly in the autumn. This can be done quite simply with a brush (if you want to exercise) or a leaf blower. A stiff brush every now and then will also lift the pile after heavy use and keep it looking its best for longer. Fake grass for dogs and other pets requires no more additional attention than natural grass. If you have a dog, you will want to  wash itdown as and when required Poos can be picked up in the same way as you would when out walking your dog. With real grass, dog pee can cause the grass to turn an unsightly brown o...

Upcycling Artificial Lawn Offcuts

  Not only does repurposing synthetic lawn offcuts allow you to get more for your money, but it also helps minimise wastage. Consequently, the environmental impact is improved, which can be a concern associated with artificial grass. Making the most of your synthetic lawn offcuts provides you with all manner of benefits, and some of our favourite upcycling ideas are detailed below. Artificial Grass Wall First up is an artificial grass wall, which can create a feature wall within your garden. While outdoor feature walls often consist of flowers and other living things, this requires much maintenance. It’s likely you’ve purchased an artificial lawn in the first place to eliminate garden maintenance from your life. Therefore, introducing more elements to maintain in your outdoor space just doesn’t make sense. That said, you don’t have to sacrifice the aesthetic of your garden. Instead of opting for flowers and other plant life to decorate your garden, you could go for the synthetic ap...

How to Avoid Seam Lines

Seam work is the most important part of artificial grass installation! Getting the seams just right means the difference between a natural-looking lawn and a green plastic mess. Here are five steps to get perfect seams every time! 1. Give Your Turf Time to Expand Sunlight makes artificial grass expand. We recommend letting your turf sit in the sun for 30 minutes to an hour to expand before you begin laying it to fit your yard. Not giving your turf proper time to expand may result in an awkward and frustrating installation. 2. Make Sure Rolls Are Facing the Same Direction Before laying your turf and securing the seams, make sure all of your rolls are oriented with the blades and stitch patterns facing the same direction! This will result in a more natural-looking appearance.  Laying your turf with the blades facing different directions will result in a fake-looking lawn. 3. Have Extra Turf to Work With When it comes to edging, you’ll want some excess material to work with. Leave a q...

Environmental Benefits

  Cheap artificial turf is an environmentally friendly choice that can positively impact the ecosystem. By replacing natural grass with synthetic alternatives, water consumption is dramatically reduced, contributing to water conservation efforts, especially in regions prone to droughts. Furthermore, artificial turf eliminates the need for harmful pesticides and fertilizers, preventing harmful chemicals from entering the soil and waterways.

Best hanging bird feeder for gardens with pests

 When it comes to bird feeders, our beloved squirrels can soon become pests. Gnawing away at feeders, squirrels are quite professional thieves and often end up leaving a trail of destruction behind them! Not only does this render your feeder useless, but it also makes a mess as food spills out. To avoid feeding more squirrels than birds, we recommend the Squirrel Buster.  The Squirrel Buster has all the features that make the Ring-Pull Click great – and more. Whilst the strong metal make-up of this feeder makes it tough against weather and squirrel nibbles, the Squirrel Buster has its own unique technology to prevent squirrels from eating your bird's food. The weight of the squirrel causes the feeder's food door to close, so squirrels can’t get at the food, and whilst it may seem like a simple idea – there is no other feeder on the market that works quite as well as the original Squirrel Buster! The great thing about this feeder's design is that although the technology stay...
