How to create a new lawn from artificial turf

Artificial turf

For those who want a beautiful garden without the maintenance that comes with it, artificial grass is the perfect option. With a real-grass look but with greater wear and weather resistance, it’s an excellent grass alternative for a low maintenance gardener. There’s no need to water it in dry weather and the grass is porous so won’t have puddles in the rain: it’s ideal for urban and small gardens.
