It is not always easy to decide when install artificial grass in the exterior spaces of the house, because although it has many advantagealso has drawbacks what to weigh. Not all cases are the same and it is convenient to analyze the context of each specific situation, for example in a shady area and a dry climate, artificial grass will compensate because maintaining the beautiful natural would be practically unfeasible, but in other cases it will be necessary see if the cost of the installation compensates. The artificial grass in the photo above, one of the best-selling and best valued, costs 23.90 euros in 1×2.5 m pieces and is 20 mm high.

Instalation and maintenance
From the outset, the installation of artificial grass has a advantagewhich can be installed on any terrain (although in some cases it has to be prepared beforehand) and a drawbackwhich requires a investment which can get expensive. Although the savings come later in the maintenance because the artificial turf you only have to keep it cleanbut you don’t have to water it with water or cut it with a lawnmower… Undoubtedly the ease and simplicity of its maintenance is among its advantages and is one of the reasons why many people bet on it. The one in the photo on these lines is worth 133.10 euros in 2×5 m pieces and is 40 mm thick.

Light and water
As we mentioned, artificial grass has two fundamental advantages, does not need water for irrigation and doesn’t need sunlight either to live, that makes it always look the same, regardless of the weather and the time of year, without us having to make any effort. Although for some that may be inconvenient, because the fact that it always looks the same detracts from the realism of its appearance and will make people realize that it is synthetic no matter how little it is noticed… On the other hand, some say that the The fact that it does not need water for irrigation makes it more ecologicalbut personally I am going to disagree on that, in general it is made of plastic and in no case will it be more sustainable than a natural lawn. If we are not environmentally responsible because we water too much, it is our fault, not the lawn’s. The one in the photo above is the 2×5 m roll of Leroy Merlin that costs 79.99 euros and is 20 mm thick.

Appearance
In terms of appearance, today there are artificial grasses that look very natural looking Like the ones we have seen previously, the one in the photo above is not because it is only 7 mm thick, but it is also cheaper, in 1×2.5 m pieces it costs only 18.90 euros. Let’s say the appearance doesn’t have to be a drawback because we can always choose an artificial grass with a finish that we like, the problem may be that its price increases the investment. This in terms of sight, in terms of touchalthough there are also artificial grasses getting softer it is true that the chafing risk by contact is greater than with natural grass, something that can worry us especially if there are children at home.

In short, the installation of artificial grass is more expensive but it ensures that we always have a nice green lawn anywhere and if we buy a quality artificial grass we make sure that it will be durable with very few maintenance so the savings in the medium and long term can compensate for the investment.
