The Benefits Of Artificial Grass

Why install artificial grass?

Arti-Grass has built its product range to have the most natural-looking artificial grass for your lawn. In modern times, time is so minimal and many people are turning to a low maintenance garden.

Experiencing wet and muddy or dry and patchy surfaces – South African gardens battle extreme weather patterns as a result of rising global temperatures – more so in Cape Town. Our gardens require a lot of time, effort and care to maintain, principally because lawn care is so challenging and time-consuming. Sustaining healthy, lush, cut-to-size grass is a battle for even the best of gardeners. A fake lawn offers a year-round solution, as well as valuable maintenance savings for your pocket, your planet and your time.

How long will artificial grass last?

When considering installing artificial grass, one must consider its longevity. As artificial lawn is made up of synthetic fibres, either nylon or propylene, they are usually made with a UV resistance durability that allows it to withstand various temperatures and weather conditions.

Just as with natural grass, each blade has an expected durability, and is sewn into a backing material that provides it with further endurance. It is within this manufacturing process that they are able to increase its efficiency thus providing it with its low maintenance benefits.
