Lawns can be a right pain to tend to during winter, as Mother Nature batters them with her harshest elements. So it\u2019s probably no wonder that so many people choose artificial grass instead. If that\u2019s what you\u2019re after, you\u2019re in exactly the right place – artificial grass is one of the many garden products we stock here at Savoy Timber, alongside our ranges of timber and composite decking. But if you\u2019re not quite sold yet, allow us to introduce you to some of the key advantages that artificial grass can offer in winter.<\/p>\n

Artificial grass is maintenance free<\/h2>\n

Artificial grass offers a whole heap of advantages for homeowners all year round, but many of them revolve around the fact that it requires very little maintenance. There\u2019s no need to fertilise it or mow it, and you can freely leave it to its own devices for much of the year. It also makes a poor home for pests, whether they\u2019re plant-based like weeds and other creeping pests, or insects and small animals like weevils or rodents.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s clean (and great for families)<\/h3>\n

If anyone in your family suffers from common ailments like hay fever, artificial grass is fantastic for sparing them from the seasonal sniffles, allowing them to play to their heart\u2019s content all year round. As well as the lack of pollen or spores, artificial grass is also very easy to clean, which is one of the advantages that makes it quite so well suited to family life! Our Stanford 40mm thick artificial grass<\/a> has easy-clean technology that keeps it looking fresh all year round, and best of all, you won\u2019t need to worry about any muddy footprints being tracked back into the house – a particularly common scenario in winter!<\/p>\n

Artificial grass is an especially good choice for small dogs, who can struggle a bit in long overgrown grass. Plus, if they like to do their business in the same spot each time, it\u2019s easy to spot and simple to deal with – which saves you and your other family members from some possibly unpleasant surprises.<\/p>\n

\"decking<\/p>\n

It stays looking amazing whatever the weather<\/h3>\n

The durability of artificial grass means that it can withstand all weather conditions, so you can always count on a vibrant green lawn no matter what the season. It won\u2019t fade even in the fiercest of summer sunshine – which is probably welcome news considering how warm this year\u2019s summer was! – and best of all, it\u2019s not susceptible to flooding in winter either. It won\u2019t wither or crack in frosty conditions, although it\u2019s worth taking care on it during the chillier months, as it can still get just as slippery as regular turf can. Modern artificial grass like the kind we stock here at Savoy Timber is popular for the authentic look it provides, making it the perfect complement to your decking – so you can enjoy a bit of colour in your outdoor space, even if the skies aren\u2019t always blue!<\/p>\n

Artificial grass is also notable for being long lasting, lasting on average for between ten and fifteen years. More than enough time for you to get plenty of enjoyment out of it! We stock artificial grass as part of a great range of garden products and accessories<\/a> here at Savoy Timber, alongside our brilliant range of timber decking<\/a> and composite decking<\/a> products. In short, whatever you\u2019re after for your garden this autumn and winter, you can find it right here.<\/p>\n
