The Number of UK Homes with Artificial Grass Is Set to Grow

Recent statistics show that more people than ever are looking to have artificial lawns installed at their homes in the UK. Whether it’s for its low maintenance, natural appearance or due to the child and pet-friendly options that are available, it’s clear to see that many people are making the change to artificial grass as their preferred lawn type.

Here at Artificial Lawn Company, we know how artificial grass can enhance all properties and have been installing our quality products across the South East of England for more than 25 years. 

In this article, we’ll take a closer look at the reasons why people may be making the change.

Artificial grass is set to grow in the UK

According to research from insurer Aviva, a fifth of UK homeowners either plan to or have already made the change to artificial turf. The survey of thousands of homeowners also found that a further 19% would seriously consider changing to artificial grass in the future. This shows that interest in artificial grass has increased since the last time this survey was conducted, when 18% of people said they planned to switch, or had already switched, to artificial grass.

Why should you choose artificial grass for your garden?

Having artificial grass in the garden offers a wide range of benefits, including:

It’s low maintenance

Keeping on top of mowing and lawncare can be challenging and time consuming – especially in the summer months when the grass grows much faster and requires more regular maintenance. 

In contrast, artificial grass requires minimal upkeep, and there is no need for any mowing, watering or weeding. It will maintain its luscious look all year round without any effort. 

It always looks natural

Even though they are artificial, good-quality, longer pile fake turf products look exactly like the real thing. They have the green, luscious aesthetic you’d expect from natural turf but without any of the upkeep. At Artificial Lawn Company, all of our products come from leading European manufacturers and are made from the finest yarns and highest quality materials. 

It’s extremely durable 

All of the high-quality artificial grass we install is made to withstand heavy foot traffic and the unpredictable British weather without losing any of its quality or visual appeal. This makes the turf long-lasting, and all our products come with a ten-year warranty.

Pet and child-friendly 

Artificial grass is the perfect choice if your household has little ones or furry friends. Unlike natural grass, it is free from allergens that may irritate the skin and pests like fleas or ticks won’t be lurking in the grass waiting for your pet. Plus, no mud means no muddy feet or paws traipsing through your home. Our dedicated pet products come with additional drainage and anti-bacterial properties for extra peace of mind.
