Have not yet decided whether to use artificial or natural grass in your garden? Since the quality of the artificial grass in recent years is clearly improved and looks like natural grass, your decision on which one to choose will be adjudged by several key points. See the rich collection of artificial grass of the IN & OUT Store and compare among a variety of quality options that look like natural grass.

Artificial grass offers a number of advantages. The most important thing that comes directly to someone’s mind, is the long-term economic benefit from its use which is greater, as it relieves you of the high cost of watering and maintenance that natural grass has. In addition, the time required for its maintenance is significantly shorter than the time required by the natural grass. In the medium to long term the financial benefit is great and at the same time time-saving.

Furthermore, it allows you to pave over surfaces while natural grass cannot. Roofs of buildings, terraces or surfaces paved with cement can be easily paved over and beautify your spaces.

On the other hand, artificial grass does not produce oxygen and develops higher temperatures when exposed to sunlight.

Nevertheless, here are some other benefits it offers that you may not have considered:

1. Easy to install

Even for those who are not experienced craftsmen, the installation process is not an extremely difficult process, especially if you are a dab hand. Think of artificial grass as a carpet that is placed on the ground. It just needs careful preparation of the subsoil, , especially when it comes to soil. The subsoil should be straight, with no dips or ridges. Proper preparation of the subsoil will make placement easy, will create the conditions for a perfect result and will reduce the chance of natural grass growing under the artificial grass.

2. Health of your garden

Natural grass requires constant care and maintenance. A natural grass is vulnerable to diseases such as rhizomes, which require time, money and attention to control, in order to maintain the health and good appearance of your grass. There are many types of fungi that can damage your grass. Maintaining a natural grass is by no means straightforward and you can control it with fungicides.

Artificial grass is not susceptible to all of these diseases which ensures that your grass will look great with minimal maintenance.

3. Weeds and pests

At some point You will definitely have seen ads for products that have been developed to eliminate weeds and pests from the destruction of your natural grass. Natural grass provides the weeds with the conditions they need to grow. It attracts plants and insects that thrive in natural soil. Insects attract other insects and in some cases even larger parasites, such as e.g. lizards.

Artificial grass does not include this natural background that is required for either weeds or pests to grow, so another problem is solved with Artificial grass. Fewer problems equate to less maintenance time.

4. Mud and potholes

Natural grass will develop mud and potholes using the irrigation system. If you have pets, the mud can probably be carried into your home. When it rains, natural grass tends to flood, which will affect the health of your lawn. Moreover, heavy rain can damage your grass.

Artificial grass does not require water, so you do not have to worry about mud. The drainage holes will allow the rainwater to be directed towards the ground.

5. There is no need for pesticides.

As with compost, there is no need for pesticides if you choose to make artificial grass for your garden.

It does not attract external pests that have a negative impact on your grass, which in addition to saving you a lot of money each year, will help you avoid the negative health effects of applying pesticides to your garden.

6. Avoid overcharging from water consumption.

Maintaining natural grass requires water, no matter how you look at it, water costs more than ever and can actually lead to overcharging if your household over-consume it.

Artificial grass can help avoid this risk, as it does not need water to thrive.

7. Does not require intensive maintenance

Everyone likes to enjoy their grass either with their family or with friends and groups at barbecues and parties.

If you are tired of the time you spend maintaining your natural grass to keep it beautiful, you will find that your artificial grass correspondingly requires less time and care than natural grass to remain presentable.

8. Longer life expectancy

If you own natural grass, there is a good chance that you will need to replace it every few years. Artificial grass is not a living solution for your garden, so it is not destroyed. This means you can keep it for several years without having to replace it. The warranty on artificial grass is usually seven years, but it lasts for much longer.

9. Eliminates air pollution caused by gas lawnmowers

Gardening equipment that use natural gas as fuel -including lawnmowers, trimmers and blowers - is causing a worrying amount of pollution. One hour of lawnmower usage can generate almost the same amount of air pollution as a 100-kilometer car trip.

10. Reduces soil contamination

Fertilizers and pesticides can help maintain the health of the natural grass, but they also pollute the environment and pose a dangerous threat to your family and pets. Artificial grass does not require these chemicals to thrive, which eliminates the effects of environmental pollution and poisoning on those who come in contact shortly after natural grass care.

11. Economy in water consumption

Synthetic turf does not require water, except for an occasional wash if you have pets.

This allows you to reduce your water consumption, avoid excessive water consumption costs and save money every month.
