Artificial vs Real Grass

Artificial grass offers several advantages over natural grass, making it a popular choice for many homeowners and businesses. Not only is it low maintenance but also looks great all year round. 

Here at Burts we offer a selection of artificial grass letting you choose your length and colour for your perfect lawn.

We know deciding between artificial grass and a natural lawn can be a difficult decision to make which is why we have added some benefits of having an artificial lawn to make it easier for you to decide what is best!

1. Low Maintenance - Artificial lawns are low maintenance meaning they need no mowing, no watering and no fertilising or weed control. This not only saves you time and effort but also money by reducing the needs for fertilisers, herbicides and pesticides.
2. Water Conservation - With an artificial lawn you will conserve water which is crucial in regions with water restrictions or limited water resources
3. Durability & Longevity - Artificial grass can withstand heavy foot traffic, making it ideal for areas frequently used by children and pets as well as maintaining its appearance and usability in various weather conditions including extreme heat or cold spells.
4. Consistent Appearance - All year round your artificial grass will stay lush and green unlike real grass which is prone to discolouration and patchiness, regardless of the weather conditions as the seasons change.
5. Cost Effective - Although buying artificial grass has an initial expense of more than buying turf with the reduced cost of maintenance, watering, lawn care and mowing this makes it a cost-effective option over time.
6. Allergen Reduction - For those of us who are partial to a bit of hay fever artificial grass could be a great solution as it does not produce pollen which can help with reducing allergy symptoms for those sensitive to grass pollen.
7. Pet Friendly - We all love our pets but is there anything worse than them digging a hole in your garden, bringing muddy paw prints in the house or leaving their waste on your rapidly growing grass? With artificial grass you dont need to worry about muddy patches, digging or paw prints in the house as well as it being super simple to clean up pet waste and rinse off where needed.
8. Pest Control - Artificial grass reduces insect attraction meaning you reduce the need for pesticides and minimise the presence of bugs.
9. Environmentally Friendly Options - Some artificial grasses are made from recyclable materials and their low water and chemical requirements can have a positive environmental impact.
10. Versatility & Aesthetics - With artificial grass being available in different colours, lengths and textures it makes it perfect to achieve aesthetic looks and functional needs making it suitable for lawns, playgrounds, sports fields, rooftops and indoor areas.
11. Safety & Comfort - Artificial grass provides a soft, cushioned surface that is safe for children to play on, it also eliminates the need for potentially harmful lawn care chemicals.
12. Erosion Control - Installing artificial turf helps prevent soil erosion and can be installed on slopes or areas where natural grass struggles to grow
