Factors To look out for when choosing artificial grass
-
Type of lawn
If you are looking for a specific type of grass (for example, artificial grass for soccer), the best is choosing a type of grass specifically made for that purpose. Even for landscaping purposes you should consider which purposes you want your artificial grass to serve.
-
The colour
Colour is one of the very important aspect when choosing fake grass. It should have realistic tones and saturation. When mixed with fibers of different shades, it can make it more similar to natural grass, considering the fact that natural grass does not tend to be totally green. A little controlled imperfection is always on track.
-
Resistance to foot traffic
Monofilament lawns tend to have better tread resistance, unlike fibrillated lawns. Always consider this if you want to install a lawn to practice sports, or if you receive many visitors in your garden.
It is essential for an artificial turf to have a very good resistance to foot traffic. When you step on a fibrillated lawn, the artificial grass tends to lose its freshness. In case of a monofilament lawn, it has a memory effect that helps it to recover or spring to its normal height.
-
Density
The density of artificial grass is generally expressed in Dtex. An artificial grass gets denser due to the more stitches the grass has, which makes it look more natural than a not so dense lawn. The density of the product influences the resilience and recovery of your lawn. It’s up to you to determine your preference.
-
Price
Lastly, price is also an essential factor. We recommend you to look for artificial turf at an affordable price that is perfect for your goals, so it allows you to install your lawn comfortably and with ease. And keep in mind that your artificial lawn will be cheaper than natural grass in about 2 to 4 years.
We’ve listed some of the best Artificial Grass Back Garden Feature ideas you’ll find in most modern gardens with some advice sprinkled in on how you might use artificial grass alongside it, bringing out nothing but glow.
Here are a few ideas:
Flowerbeds
They are a number of reasons why we recommend adding some form of flowerbed to a garden with artificial grass:
- Adds colour and scent
- Adds authenticity
- Offers habitats and food for insects and animals
What kind of flower bed?
Sleepers – Chunky sleepers make it easy and simple to separate areas. Can be used for both contemporary and more traditional looking gardens.
Brick – Red brick can add a warm splash of colour. A raised bed using brick may be easier to maintain for those who have issues with bending, or who would like plants at sitting level if planning on using the area for sitting.
Edging – If you’d like a more natural border, curved edging can create a soft, romantic and appealing look. There are different types of decorative edging accessible on a roll if your budget is tight.
Gravel/Bark – Gravel or bark can be used to fill in areas. We often see gravel or loose materials surrounding trees, but it is often removed by choice of the owner when we come to install it!
Top Tip: We can install curved edging as part of our installation so let us know if you’d like to dedicate an area to a sweeping, curvy flower bed.
Pathways
If you’ve always struggled to maintain a pathway through a natural lawn then artificial lawn is the solution for you, which will be much easier. Some of the benefits/advantages of pathways include:
- Creates a journey through the garden
- A tidy way to travel
- Remove to create more lawn space
What kind of path?
Stepping stones – This can be an attractive and unobtrusive way to create a pathway that will remain tidy or clean surrounded by artificial grass.
Brick – A brick path will mostly look great if you’re trying to create a cottage garden look and is a great opportunity to make use of old materials that might be lying around.
Wood – Wooden planks are far from the usual, and look great and awesome in shadier gardens with overhanging trees. They also make a cute change from raised decking areas. We can also lay on top of decking if you’d like to make your whole garden green!
Top Tip: To avoid having to cut or roll back any grass or disturb the installation, any hard landscaping should be completed before your grass is laid.
Storage or Space
Are you sure you’re making the best use of your garden space? Perhaps your garden could become even more vital to your everyday life by becoming an extension of your home…
Garden rooms can help make your garden feel homely.
Sheds can be much more than what we take them to be. Is it making good use of your garden, without a lawnmower do you still need it?
What kind of structure?
Glass garden rooms – Create a modern and chic look with a predominantly glass structure. Really Large glass windows and doors are great if you want to bring the outside in and vice versa.
Wooden garden rooms – There’s something a bit more enticing about these structures. Ideal for creating focus spaces or studios. The natural look can fit in perfectly with surrounding plants.
Luxury shed – You could even just give your existing shed a little bit of luxury, a lick of paint won’t be a bad idea if you still need a place to store garden items.
Top Tip: Some reflective surfaces can cause lots of heat when reflecting light on other surfaces. The direction of the sun and the potential for reflection when choosing surroundings for a glass garden room are things to keep in mind.
Furniture
There are various ways to incorporate furniture and living space into an amazing artificial grass garden idea. Do you want your garden:
- Entertaining
- Relaxing
- For kids to run around
What kind of furniture?
A modern, small garden might not have a lot of space for extra furniture so benches are incorporated into bedding areas.
Tables and chairs – If you’re creating a relaxing, romantic setting then a swing chair can create the perfect viewing spot. Artificial grass is great for these kinds of features as you won’t get a bald patch where your feet have been.
Eating – Do you want to include a barbecue or outdoor oven to your garden? This should perfectly be kept on a patio area to avoid heat transferring to other areas of the garden, particularly artificial grass.
Trampoline – This has always been kids’ favourite and these days it’s very popular to find them dug in the ground too if you’d like it to look a bit more discreet.
Top Tip: Furniture or any weighty item resting on top of artificial grass will make the blades flat. This can be solved by moving the furniture on occasion and using a stiff brush to brush up the pile. Though we suggest you don’t leave really heavy items like vehicles as it may also affect the base.
