Landscape & artificial-turf

On average, artificial turf installation costs $14.30 per square foot for labor and materials, with a typical cost range between $13.40 and $20 per square foot. Many factors will impact total costs, including the turf's blade shape, brand, and quality.

 Artificial turf is often the more affordable landscaping option than concrete. Turf alone can typically range from $6.25-$9.85 per square foot, and installing a turf lawn can range $8.50-$20 per square foot including rough materials and labor. 

 Unlike real turf, artificial grass won't die when a dog pees on it. Dog urine drains away, just like rain and sprinkler water. 

 Artificial Grass is a very smart and suitable solution for your lawn and has several benefits that make it more convenient for the owner.

• Artificial grass always looks aesthetically pleasing in all types of weather. This is because the weather does not have a direct impact on the appearance of the turf. It will continue to stay green, neat, tidy, and look good all year round, whatever the weather.
• It is much more convenient for the owner because it does not require much maintenance. Artificial turf does not need to be watered, fertilized, or mowed like real grass.
• Less time spent maintaining your lawn means more time to spend enjoying your garden.
• An artificial lawn does not require the use of a lawnmower like real grass does to cut it. Lawnmowers are bad for the environment and potentially dangerous. As your artificial lawn does not require a lawnmower to maintain it, this reduces air pollution caused by lawnmowers, making your lawn better for the environment.
• The easy maintenance of artificial grass will benefit older & disabled users who might find it difficult to mow and maintain their lawn. Artificial Grass is perfect for use in care home & retirement facilities
• People who live away from home for long periods of time, own a holiday home or work away a lot and are not at home very often can benefit from artificial grass as it will not grow like natural grass and so doesn’t require any maintenance from the owner.
• Artificial grass does not need to be watered like natural grass. This is better for the environment because it reduces water usage. By cutting your hose pipe and sprinkler usage, you can both save water and save on your water bills.
• Artificial turf is pet-friendly. It can’t be dug up and spoiled by pets as real grass can so will stay smart even if you have cats and dogs. It stays hygienic and unaffected by urine and is easy to clean. This makes the turf ideal for use in places such as kennels. Also, the grass can’t be spoilt by mud patches dug up by dogs. Plus, dogs love to play on it as much as natural grass. Animal waste is easily cleaned off the lawn using a light detergent & water or one of our pet friendly products.
• Artificial turf can work out to be cheaper to maintain over time. This is because natural grass becomes expensive when adding the cost of fertilizers, pesticides, lawn shears, hoses, strimmer, rakes, weed killers, lawnmowers, water, and grass feed required to maintain it. This makes it far more cost effective than real grass over its full lifespan.
• The appearance of synthetic grass has improved vastly over time and many higher-end surfaces have a very convincing natural appearance. Our artificial turf looks and feels as good as the real thing. Our Which? 
• For some, a disadvantage is that it will not last for the same time as natural grass will. On average, artificial grass is expected to have a lifespan of 7-15 years. This is still a long time and will provide the customer with many years of easy maintenance. However, some people will prefer natural grass because it will last longer but require regular maintenance.
• Artificial grass can get hot in extreme heat, however it should not cause any burns. Applying sand infill will help keep the turf cool. Using common sense such as spraying the grass with cool water, wearing appropriate footwear, and laying a white blanket where you intend to sit can help keep you cool in warmer temperatures.
• Artificial turf may reduce the biodiversity of your garden as it is made of plastic and so is not a natural material that wildlife can live in. However, by planting flowers, shrubs, and plants around your lawn and in other areas of your garden, you can combat the lack of biodiversity, encourage wildlife, and make your garden a habitat for many different species whilst providing a safe and practical year-round space for all the family to enjoy – this way, you get the best of both worlds.
