Green Lawns all year round - Adam from Blairgowrie

Question

Our lawn has really suffered the last few years and we know that there are synthetic alternatives on the market but we are hesitant because the image of fake grass that we have is bright bright green and very fake looking. What can you tell us about the options that are available, we are desperate to have a lawn again!

Answer

Adam, yes synthetic lawn does have a negative image but there are products on the market that look so much like real grass that you will possibly have neighbours calling the water board to tell them you have been watering your lawn in excess. There are many new varieties now which are easy to look after, will save valuable water & most importantly look amazing! You can use these products in small courtyards to expansive areas.
