Did you know… According to a recent survey by the insurance firm Churchill, nearly three in five respondents (58%) said they regretted buying artificial grass and wanted to remove it! And almost half (44%) said they were concerned about the environmental consequences. Research also suggests that artificial lawn can decrease the value of your property by 5%!There are so many reasons not to use artificial grass. Anyone thinking of purchasing it (from any company or supplier), please first get advice from an experienced gardener or horticulturist.Artificial lawn can be- more expensive to lay than natural lawn.- higher maintenance than real grass. You will have to wash, brush or even hoover it regularly because naturally occurring dirt and bacteria stay on the surface (instead of harmlessly biodegrading as they do on real grass), causing bad smells and hygiene problems. Special brushes, vacuum cleaners & cleaning products = more expense!- cause drainage problems & increase flood risks on your property because it cannot absorb rainwater as effectively as real grass.- absorb far more heat than real grass, and become unbearably hot. Some manufacturers even recommend buying awnings or shade sails to reduce heat, or hosing down the lawn – more expense!- cause friction burns and scorching. Independent studies report that play-related injury risk rates on artificial sports pitches are 88% higher and the risk of serious concussion is 22% higher than on real turf.- nonrecyclable and doesn't properly biodegrade. As it breaks down, plastic particles are released into your garden, into the local ecosystem, and into our waterways, potentially damaging the environment & human health.- create an inorganic barrier over the soil, which can kill soil life eg, earthworms. This has a knock-on effect on the garden birds and mammals who rely on them as a food source. It can also harm the quality of the soil (which may cause you problems if you decide to replant that area in a few years time.)British ecosystems are already severely under threat and fashions like artificial lawn and hard-standing make the situation even worse. Please explore alternatives before you buy artificial turf.There are many alternatives to a traditional grass lawn which won't cost the earth, or your wallet, and any experienced gardener in your area should be willing and able to make suggestions (tapestry lawn, mini-meadow, gravel garden, xeriscaping, planted paving, etc etc)Skilled gardeners can be found by checking accredited professional or guild websites, contacting your local public gardens, or messaging local gardening groups on social media. The UK is one of the most nature-depleted countries on the planet and our gardens are at the forefront of protecting what's left.Thank you for reading.
