Take a look at the lawn outside - what does it look like? It will most likely be a bit overgrown, patchy, have areas that are mossy or denser than others. In other words, it's disappointing. And, whether you've just moved into a new home or have been battling it for years, chances are it's never going to change.
Fortunately, now is the perfect time to invest in artificial turf—and here's why:
Forget all the work, just enjoy it
Forget about spending your Sundays mowing the lawn, spraying weeds, fertilizing, aerating, or paying someone else to do it - artificial turf is play, not work. Artificial turf requires no mowing, nor weeding if you have prepared it.
Save water
While real grass may contribute more to the atmosphere than artificial turf, they're not exactly green when it comes to water use. While the hottest states in the US have the biggest problems here (California has strict lawn watering restrictions - no surprise since it accounts for 60% of all residential water use), we're not immune to watering our lawns here either. watering. If your water is on the meter, you will notice a significant drop in your water bill when you switch from turf to artificial turf. Data show that maintaining a lawn of the same quality as artificial turf saves more than 250 liters of water per square meter per year.
Your home looks better
There's no denying that artificial turf will boost your curb appeal, and if you invest in quality artificial turf, no one will be able to tell if it's real grass. If you're planning to sell your home anytime in the next few years, you'll have an easier time selling it, and you won't have to worry about mowing the lawn before every showing.
Your pets are much less likely to eat it
We all love our dogs and cats, but they have a nasty habit of chewing grass and then returning to the house to throw it away. While this is sometimes because they're really not feeling well, if your cat or dog makes a habit of doing this, you'll know they're more than happy to go out for a walk or have dinner right after the walk!
Another good news is that if they do eat it (which is unlikely), it's non-toxic, so you don't have to worry about it making them sick.
Fewer bugs
Artificial turf doesn't repel bugs, but it doesn't seem to be that attractive to them either. If you hate sitting on your lawn in the warmer months because all the ants and beetles are going to find you one way or another, artificial turf should greatly reduce that.
6.Eases hay fever
If you or someone in your family has hay fever, you know how unpleasant it can be throughout the summer months. Itchy eyes, burning nose, and even sore lips, sneezing is on the table, driving people indoors on sunny days. If you find yourself routinely covering your nose and mouth while walking or driving past someone mowing, artificial turf can be a breath of fresh air—literally, even after taking an antihistamine.
No muddy footprint
Do you already find yourself cleaning the floors every day when pets come and go from the garden, or even after you walk in the front door and come in? If your lawn gets a lot of traffic—whether it's human feet or animal paws, it's coming with the territory. When you switch to artificial turf, you don't have to worry about dirt being dragged into the house.
It’s ideal for kids
All grass is soft, but artificial grass is undeniably denser and softer than most lawns, especially if you live in a rocky area. If your kids or grandkids spend a lot of time outdoors, they'll love running and playing on your artificial turf, and falls will be a little less painful.
You can leave furniture on it and not get faded areas
We've all moved something in the grass and seen the string underneath, the white-yellow grass that has faded from lack of sunlight. While the grass will eventually turn green again, it usually takes a few weeks and looks unsightly until it does. If you leave your furniture outside during the summer months the artificial grass won't turn white and if you have UdineGrass you will also benefit from the snap back technology so it even springs back into place instead of staying flat for long .
It is more Eco-friendly than you think
In addition to reducing your water needs, when you switch to artificial turf, you also no longer need to use toxic sprays on weeds or use potentially less environmentally friendly fertilizers.
Since you're not cutting the lawn, you're also reducing electricity consumption, or more likely gasoline or diesel consumption. Ironically, since fossil fuels are running out and polluting the atmosphere, they are quickly going the way of the dinosaurs, so artificial turf is a greener proposition.
While artificial grass doesn't last as long as real grass, you can usually expect it to last around 10 years - we use nylon instead of polypropylene so it lasts longer than other forms of artificial grass, so we We are happy to offer a 10 year warranty on all our products. Make sure to choose nylon artificial turf so you don't have to throw it away after a few years of use.
They offer instant gratification at its finest
All grass is soft, but artificial grass is undeniably denser and softer than most lawns, especially if you live in a rocky area. If your kids or grandkids spend a lot of time outdoors, they'll love running and playing on your artificial turf, and falls will be a little less painful.
You can install it yourself (but you don’t have to)
You don't have to be an expert to install artificial grass, so if you want to do it yourself, you can. If you love a good DIY project, you don't have to worry about chewing on more if you choose to do it yourself. That said, if you prefer to have someone else do the heavy lifting for you (and why not?), we work with approved installers who can install a small lawn in just a few hours.
You can use it anywhere
Got a balcony that's just boring concrete, or a dark shaded area in your garden where nothing's growing? You can install artificial turf and enjoy the outside space you have, whether you're using it outside or just looking out over it as you walk around your home.
It’s easy to clean
Pet waste doesn't drain easily from your lawn and tends to kill it over time as our pets go to the same places. You can flush your lawn, but you may find that you create muddy puddles and displace soil when you do so. Artificial turf can be easily and quickly sprayed down to keep the lawn clean and odor-free.
It feels just as good as the real think
There's nothing better than lying in the grass on a warm summer day - well, except lounging in UdineGrass on a warm summer day. Our technology ensures that it not only feels as good as grass (if not better), but also doesn't get too hot in the hot sun like many other artificial grasses.
You can choose what your lawn looks like
If you go shopping for turf, you don't really have much choice in what it looks like - grass is grass, after all, it's up to you to maintain it the way you like. However, we offer a range of different turf options to help you get the look you want - whether it's fine-cut, carpet-like artificial turf, or a longer, more natural-looking turf.
