Prepare your garden for this summer: natural or artificial lawn
The traditional beauty of natural grass
Certainly the most traditional choice. However, it is also the most expensive because this type of turf requires a lot of maintenance. You can request a quote from a landscape architect, which will save you time and some headaches! Keep a number of things in mind when maintaining natural lawns, such as: fertilizing the soil, killing weeds, removing pests, setting automatic watering, or doing so frequently. Anyway, the beauty of the natural lawn is indisputable
A natural grass between the stones
Natural Lawn
Natural grass is really interesting to combine with other materials such as stones. You can, for example, create paths in your garden, in which the stone is the protagonist and where the turf is naturally placed between its assemblies. In this case, the best option is the natural lawn, since we must not forget that the artificial is sold by rolls, which will be more difficult to adapt to small or even tiny spaces.
Artificial turf, an easier option to manage
Requiring less maintenance, it is an economical and durable option that our professionals can also install for you. Not requiring treatment, this type of grass is more like a carpet and saves a lot of money on its water bill.
Choose the right material

The use you give to your lawn will define its maintenance. You will not install the same grass if it is an area where children play or if you go there every day. It is obvious that artificial turf will be more suitable than natural turf for the most used areas. There are also different types of artificial turf, some stronger than others. You must take into account the use of the future lawn to choose the hardness of it and, if you still hesitate, do not hesitate to consult one of our professionals.
Artificial grass for all tastes
Aesthetics can also be a problem to consider when choosing an artificial turf. There are differences in density, which will make it more or less leafy, but we can also find unicoloured grass or in various shades of colors. These have a much more natural look, although they are obviously a bit more expensive.
The best choice for your pool
If you also have a pool, installing a lawn around can be a great solution for bathing days. What is the best choice? Natural or artificial turf? The natural lawn is probably the most comfortable and the most aesthetic, but know that the grass is quite delicate and not suitable for wet areas. An option could be to place a wooden deck or a mobile terrace latest technology (more resistant) to frame your pool and then install a natural grass that will not be in direct contact with water.
Grass for balconies and small terraces

Special situation: alternative uses of artificial turf

It is clear that a garden is nice, but what if you do not have a garden? What to do if you do not have a terrace or balcony? There are other really original options; if artificial turf can fit any space, why not create a green wall in your living room or dining room?
