Our recommendation? Get an artificial lawn and save yourself tones of trouble!
There is barely any maintenance required
When winter approaches, you will not have to worry about protecting the foliage in your lawn from frost or low temperatures to help your lawn brave through winter. Unlike a natural lawn, installing an artificial lawn means that you will not have to concern yourself with problems such as a pest infestation, formation of mud puddles, lawn diseases, and weeds growing rampant with no end in sight! Since artificial lawns are made from synthetic materials, they do not require the use of fertilizers, pesticides, and other lawn mowing maintenance tools to stay in shape. Over time, you will realize that you save both time and money because there is barely any maintenance required.
Say goodbye to winter pollution
Winter is the time of the year when the temperatures can get uncomfortably low, which is why people prefer to stay within their house. However, it is not unusual for fertilizers and gas-powered lawnmowers to become a leading cause for both land and air pollution in households and communities with natural lawns. Artificial lawns are made up of fake grass, which means that they do not need chemicals to survive. Plus, you get to conserve water because artificial lawns only need an occasional rinse. So not only do you get to reduce pollution, you get to save water too!
No more worrying about a muddy lawn
When it rains, natural lawns can get incredibly muddy, especially if the landscape is not completely flat and evenly textured. If you have irregularities in the ground or shallow pavements, then it is easier for water to collect in your lawn after a torrential downpour. Children and pets can catch harmful infections from stagnant water lying around in your lawn and bring mud indoors, which can turn into a nuisance. However, with an artificial lawn, you will be pleased to know that there is a multi-drainage system that helps water seep away before it gets a chance to gather. No more worrying about a muddy lawn!

Frequently Asked Questions
Will fake grass get damaged by frost or snow?
No, high-quality turf is designed to withstand freezing temperatures, frost, and snow without dying or turning brown. Frost on the blades will melt naturally, leaving no damage. This is important for cooler areas in Australia such as Tasmania and parts of Victoria and New South Wales.
What if the grass goes flat in winter?
Heavy rain or long-term cold can cause the fibres to lie flat. Simply use a stiff-bristled broom or power brush to brush the grass in different directions at the end of winter to lift the pile.
Is winter a bad time for installation?
Winter can be a good time to install artificial turf in Australia as it is the off-season for landscapers, leading to better availability and faster turnaround times.
Do I need to cover it?
You do not need to cover the grass, but in very heavy frost areas, a tarp can be used to prevent ice formation.
