How Does Artificial Grass Improve Your Front Garden?
The front of your home is one of the first impressions people get of your home. We’ve all driven up a street and said “wow lovely house” just judging from the outside.
If this is something that is essential to you, artificial grass is a great option to tidying up your front garden and setting a tone for the rest of your home.
When it comes to transforming the front of your home and creating an attractive exterior, artificial grass can make a huge difference. If you’re looking to transform your garden with artificial grass, head to our website today.
While many people opt for the real thing, artificial grass offers an alternative to a natural lawn. If you’re trying to decide whether you should install natural or artificial turf in your front yard, several general criteria and factors to consider can help you make a great choice.
Installation Costs
The price for both artificial grass and natural turf vary depending on the type of artificial or natural grass you’re considering, and regional-dependent costs such as the price of grass seed in your area. But you can typically expect to pay anywhere from $4,000 to $10,000 per 1,000 square feet for artificial grass. On the other hand, it costs approximately $500 to lay 1,000 square feet of live sod, and approximately $10 to $20 to cover that same area with grass seed.
Cooling Effects
Your home’s appearance is not the only thing your front lawn affects. Because it’s close to your house, it also plays a minor role in the temperature of your home. The average front lawn that’s made of natural turf has a cooling effect on its nearby environment. An artificial lawn doesn’t provide a cooling effect, and its plastic and rubber components can actually increase temperatures in the surrounding. This makes anyone on the lawn feel hot and may also influence the temperature of your home.
Texture and Feeling
Athletes and other people who come into regular contact with both artificial and natural grass typically rate real grass as being softer and more comfortable against bare skin compared to the sometimes abrasive texture of fake turf. This may be a main basis if you plan to use your front lawn for family picnics and other activities regularly.
Maintenance Requirements
If you’re considering artificial grass because it may save you time, you are partially correct. Natural lawns require a lot of upkeep, including regular mowing, watering, aerating, fertilizing and dethatching. Artificial grass requires none of this, but it does require brushing to keep the blades upright, as well raking or vacuuming to remove debris, and occasional treatment against bacteria or mold growth on its surface(low maintenance).
Environmental Impact
Natural grass lawns play a significant role in the environment. For example, the average front lawn gives out enough daily oxygen to provide for a family of four, while also capturing dust and debris and gripping carbon dioxide. Artificial turf can’t do any of this, but an artificial lawn can also have environmental benefits. For example, watering is not needed, which will help you save water, and also doesn’t need fertilizer or pesticides.
What’s involved when installing fake grass for your front yard?
When installing your artificial grass, a professional will carry out a full excavation of the existing surface area, and install a fully-permeable sub-base along with all the necessary layers required for your new lawn.
This can help to fight drainage issues and ensure your lawn dries quickly after heavy rainfall. On the other hand, we could carry out a dry fit installation over decking or paving, as long as your surface is level and in great condition.
Love the idea of not mowing your lawn, but still like to do the odd bit of gardening?
Flower beds or borders can also be an option for your front yard, and will make your garden look great whilst also reducing the cost of your fake grass installation.
The average front garden installation shouldn’t disturb your neighbours and takes around a day to complete. All materials, skips and equipment should be stored in your driveway (depending on space) and professional fitters will do their best to cause as little disturbance as possible.
