Having a lovely luscious green lawn is something that most people would love to have in each of our homes.

However the demands of maintaining such lovely lawns is not as easy as it might seem. In the UK, regular rainfall and the often changing weather tends to make it more than a challenge for most.

Often home owners may need to tend to their lawns every 7-10 days during the summer months.

Over the last few years there has certainly been a noticeable trend in homeowners of houses, flats (apartments), restaurants etc introducing lovely green artificial grass lawns.

In the earlier years I would often hear people be put off by the ‘cheap’ looking artificial lawns. I must admit I too was one of those people.

However, since having 3 young children and quite a demanding job. Juggling the upkeep of my work/home life balance is becoming more and more difficult.

I must also admit that I have certainly recently had my head turned by the introduction of a number of reputable artificial grass companies that have entered the market. Some of these companies are even installing lawns for the ‘Queen’, Richmond Park, Battersea Park. Such is the quality of the new styles of artificial grass. It is surely making people like me, who was so vehemently against ‘fake’ grass, to now actually start to consider some of the obvious advantages to introducing it into my home.

Since doing some research on artificial grass. I have noted that most of the artificial grass companies tend to import the grass from countries oversees, like China.

This certainly has not deterred me. As just like many many products in the UK and USA market. Imports are just a part of our everyday life and we all know that some of the great products that we have in our homes often travel from all over the world before ending up in our homes.

I’m certainly giving it some serious thought this summer and would love to hear from anyone who has fitted this type of grass in their home or business.
