If you’ve ever put in the time and the money to properly care for a lawn, you certainly know there are plenty of issues that can threaten to harm or distort that beautiful section of earth you’ve become so devoted to.
Anything worth having is worth working for, right? But what if you could have the same beautiful lawn you’ve always craved without putting in the hours of backbreaking work and committing hundreds of dollars every summer to creating and then maintaining that backyard paradise?
Issues that can arise when caring for a lawn consisting of natural grass are many and you never know which particular problem is going to arise on any given day or week.
Some of the more common problems with natural grass lawns include:
Unhealthy or Damaged Soil
Any good grass or crops, really anything that comes from the ground, begins with the proper soil. If your soil isn’t healthy, then anything that grows from it isn’t going to be healthy either.
If you want lush and vibrant grass, then you’re going to need good, healthy soil. Otherwise, you’ll need to fertilize your lawn in an attempt to make the soil healthy enough to grow the grass that you want to grow in your yard.
This won’t always work and, when it does, it’s going to cost you a good deal of time and money.
Artificial grass, on the other hand, doesn’t need soil to grow so the health and vitality of the soil where you live is irrelevant which makes it a great option for why should to install artificial grass in your balcony.
Oh Those Weeds!
Ask any homeowner what the most annoying part of maintaining a healthy lawn is and it’s a good bet he or she is going to mention weeds.
Weeds grow quickly and in all conditions, also stealing water and nutrients from the parts of your lawn that really need it. And the longer weeds go without being taken care of, the more they threaten an overall takeover of your lawn.
Weed killers often work for a time, but even then weeds will likely return at some point.
Artificial grass doesn’t need soil to grow so weeds aren’t going to grow either. Yet another positive for converting your natural grass lawn to an artificial model.
Bald Spots on Your Lawn
Bald spots can often appear on your lawn due to dogs that are digging on the property, an excess amount of foot traffic or even diseases that can and do infect natural grass lawns from time to time.
Repairing and/or replacing these areas of your lawn can cost a good amount of money and take hours that might be spent with family or just doing other things that you enjoy.
You won’t see bald spots on artificial lawns, just day after day of the same beautiful lawn that hardly requires any maintenance to create and sustain.
Dead Grass
Grass that turns brown and dies can affect your lawn as a whole, creating spots that are unpleasant to look at and that need to be repaired and/or replaced.
These areas can occur due to lack of water or even too much water, both of which can suffocate the roots and create dead spots on your lawn.
Artificial grass remains lush and vibrant regardless of the weather. Something to think about, right? That’s why we think of artificial lawns as a drought resistant option for the beauty of your garden.
