MAKING THE LEAP

WITH SUMMER UPON US, NOW IS THE PERFECT TIME TO CONSIDER THE BENEFITS OF A LOW-MAINTENANCE ARTIFICIAL LAWN FROM SMARTGRASS TO MAXIMISE YOUR OUTDOOR SPACE.

As the weather is getting warmer, many of us are starting to think about our gardens and how we can make the most of the sunny days ahead. But amidst the excitement of barbecues and outdoor dining, we might also feel a certain level of dread at the amount of work we’ll need to do to keep the lawn area looking good for family and guests.

One of the hottest trends in landscaping, SmartGrass is a new type of artificial grass that is realistic, durable and environmentally friendly. abode takes a look at the top five reasons SmartGrass might just be the perfect way to take your landscaping headaches away.

1. Get the perfect-looking lawn! It’s no secret that a perfect lawn is the envy of many homeowners. And it feels soft, too. These environmentally friendly lawns can be constructed with up to six different naturalcoloured blades up to 40 mm high, giving a luxurious look and feel.

2. No more mowing! Let’s face it, landscapes take a lot of maintenance, so not having to worry about the lawn can be a huge weight off your shoulders. With SmartGrass, you can say goodbye to the weekly mow and spend your weekends just enjoying the lawn and doing something you actually enjoy. Just stand back and enjoy an incredible-looking lawn.

3. Functional! An artificial lawn can extend your outdoor living space with minimal fuss and hassle. Unlike natural grass, artificial turf doesn’t go brown or dormant in the winter months. It will stay green and freshlooking all year round, giving you a beautiful garden to enjoy whatever the weather.

4. Low maintenance! Once you’ve laid your artificial lawn, there’s very little you need to do to keep it looking good. There’s no need for irrigating, feeding, re-seeding, edging, de-thatching or fertilising.

5. No more mud! If you have young children or pets, you’ll know only too well the havoc they can wreak on your grass. Artificial lawn is completely mud-free, so you can say goodbye to muddy footprints in the house and no more brown discolouration or patches on the lawn from dogs.

SmartGrass looks so real that it’s often mistaken for the real thing. The company has recently completed its 2000th installation in Christchurch. So, it’s fair to say the team at SmartGrass are the experts when it comes to creating beautiful and versatile artificial lawns.
