If you have made up your mind to install artificial grass in New Zealand, there are a few important things you need to know.
It is safer than most people think
Early synthetic grass was made with toxic materials in the infill, including lead. You do not need to worry about having lead or toxins in your synthetic grass anymore. Check with your supplier.
In addition to ensuring you buy grass that is free from toxins, you also keep yourself safe from possible dangers of toxic chemicals that are used in lawns such as herbicides and fertiliser.
Synthetic grass looks real
Synthetic grass has come a long way. It no longer has the unnatural colouring that people previously associated it with (Hello, Brady Bunch Astroturf!). It is still easy to distinguish artificial grass from real grass when you are close but you can easily fool someone who is far away.
It is not totally maintenance free
You will not have to worry about mowing, watering or weeding your grass but that does not mean that you are off the hook when it comes to the maintenance of your lawn. You will need to deal with stains when and if they occur. You will also have to rake the blades of your grass to keep them upright and clean. With proper care, your grass can last up to 20 years.
It can improve the value of your home
Whilst it is tough to get concrete information on how synthetic turf affects your resale value, there is enough evidence that it can increase the value of your home especially if you live in a hot and dry area where it is difficult to maintain a natural lawn. If you buy cheap artificial grass New Zealand, it will work against you.
