BY THE EXPERTS AT ULTIMATEGRASS.CO.UK AND THERUGSELLER.CO.UK Daniel Prendergast from specialist online shop www.ultimategrass.co.uk (part of The Rug Seller) has compiled a new useful guide for choosing artificial grass and answers some frequently asked questions. A continuing ‘home interiors’ and DIY trend is to make outdoor living spaces more usable – with outdoor rugs, gorgeous lighting and even sofas – and adding artificial grass is part of this movement.

Comprehensive online DIY guides offer help and support, from how to measure to fitting products in both gardens and on balconies. https:// www.ultimategrass.co.uk/guides While artificial grass is most popular for lawns and gardens, it’s versatile enough to be laid on just about any surface.
