Following one of our driest ever Septembers, we now have to deal with the wet and cold of autumn and winter when growth of a natural lawn will be nil or very limited at best. If you are left frustrated with the state of your lawn and your children or pets are continuing to bring the mud into the house, then now is the time to consider an artificial lawn.

Most people are now familiar with the prediction of longer, hotter summers as an inevitable result of climate change and global warming and, indeed, some people might welcome the prospect with visions of enjoying the outdoors more, but such a change in our weather could have serious consequences for our gardens.

Everything from hedges to plants, trees and the traditional British lawn will face a battle for survival if water becomes scarcer, summers become drier and winters become wetter.

Many people are already concerned about having to use pesticides to keep their lawns looking green throughout the year but warmer, drier summers and wetter winters will make lawn maintenance even more difficult. An artificial lawn may well be the answer – you’ll save on water and pesticides and yellow patches in the grass during the summer months will be a thing of the past. Wetter winters too will be much more bearable knowing that your children are safe to play in the garden come rain or shine without mud from the lawn finding its way into the house.

“This has been an all too common scenario for many of our customers”, says Greg Hill, Marketing Director for Sow Green. “Some customers have spent a lot of money on re-turfing trying to persevere with their natural lawn, but with little success and so a Sow Green artificial lawn has been chosen to replace their natural one. It is often a practical solution because of the high durability and fantastic quality, so the kids can play sports, games and activities outside and the pets run around and then return to the house with their shoes or paws mud-free.
Artificial grass has the appearance of a perfectly maintained lawn, in all seasons. It also solves the problem of shadowy corners, roof patios and areas around swimming pools, all the places where natural grass finds it hard to grow, if at all. Artificial grass is also made of environmentally friendly products which can be safely used by everyone including pets.
