Should I install artificial turf in January? Here are three things you need to know.

So, if you were thinking about a new garden and some new plants, artificial turf may have crossed your mind. If it has and you are thinking about getting artificial grass installed, you are probably wondering when is the best time to do it. The good news is that artificial turf is manufactured to be suitable all-year-round. If you do have any questions though, we have put together this handy guide to try and help you out. Below are three things you need to know about installing an artificial lawn in your garden.

1) Artificial turf saves you time

Having artificial turf in your back and front gardens can save you a lot of time with maintenance. Having artificial grass can be a convenience to you because of the time it saves. Flooring Direct sell fake grass throughout the year and so you will never have to worry about when it is available. When half term and Easter come around, that is when we are at our most popular, as well as the summer! Imagine a garden party in the summer when you do not have to worry about the messy mud in the back garden, or the clean up from the resulting mess. One recommendation that we have is that because Easter and Summer are always the busiest, people forget to buy in Winter. This is when some of the best products are on sale though!

2) Lean on previous experiences of real grass

Artificial turf. Everyone at Flooring Direct loves it. Also, if you are in the UK Flooring Direct can get it straight to your door, without you having to move a muscle. If you’ve had a nightmare experience with your real lawn in the past then the last thing you will want to do is go through it again. This is exactly why an artificial lawn could help you. (Take advantage using the code EXTRA10 to get a further 10% OFF!).

The disadvantages of real grass are really obvious during the winter months, or if your neighbour has overhanging trees which consistently cause a nightmare for your grass, as it never gets any sun. If you anticipate these problems before you move into a new home and get an artificial lawn installed ASAP then you should have a wonderful looking garden. Save yourself both the hassle and time of looking after your garden with Flooring Direct.

3) An artificial lawn is a sound long-term investment

Artificial grass is an amazing long-term investment. Think about it, rather than having to invest in a lawnmower and other gardening tools, you can simply hose down your garden and wipe it clean. This is why it would be the perfect long-term investment opportunity for your home. Save time but also save money.

You can use your garden whenever you want as regardless of the season, the grass will remain green, pretty, functional and usable. Reap the rewards of artificial lawn investments any time of the year.

Some extra added advice about installing artificial grass

We know we said we would give you three points on when you should be installing artificial grass, but we’ll throw in a little bit of extra advice for you.

In a surprising twist, artificial grass is actually easier to install and purchase in the winter months. This is because it will never be out of stock and you won’t have to wait for your favourite grass to come in stock. In the winter and spring, the ground is also much softer which means an artificial lawn would be much easier to install. Plus, artificial grass can also be installed by you, so you may be able to save on a fitter!
