Among landscapers certain topics are hotly contested. Composite decking or wooden decking? How low should you mow? Are dandelions the same plant species as chicory? And finally, traditional lawn turf vs artificial grass.
Some of our clients believe it’s sacrilege to promote artificial grass. Our view is that natural lawn turf is generally preferable but not always practical. As a result we offer both options in Basingstoke, Winchester and beyond.
The Case For Lawn Turf
The appeal of natural lawn turf include expense and environmental benefits. Just like trees and plants, grass releases oxygen into the surrounding environment and enhances biodiversity. In this instance, artificial grass can have a negative effect.
The Case For Artificial Grass
Artificial grass is a no or low maintenance alternative to grass. Artificial grass may appeal to home owners who have gardens in the shade and, as a result, struggle to grow natural turf. It also appeals to those who – due to work or old age – lack the time to maintain a healthy lawn.
While artificial has is more expensive upfront, it can result in savings if professional maintenance is required.
Hampshire Turf Supplies use a diverse selection of suppliers to fit artificial grass grades varying in cost and aesthetics. These include Forever Green Lawns, Namgrass and NoMow. Please contact us for samples or an in person quote.
