Is artificial grass Dubai right for you and your pets?

Over the last decade or so artificial grass has become increasingly popular and is now a common sight in homes, villas, hotels, apartments, leisure centres all over the world. Artificial grass technology has advanced in such a huge way over the last few years that many people struggle to actually tell the difference between synthetic grass and real, natural grass. There are a number of reasons why people choose to fit artificial turf in their gardens. Some prefer it as it’s far less hassle than real grass, some prefer the way it looks and some have it because grass is just not a viable option where they live. In hotter parts of the world, Dubai and the UAE for example it’s extremely hot and hardly any rain which means grass struggles to grow. Artificial turf in Dubai provides a solution to that particular problem. Let’s not be selfish though, after all it’s not about us is it? Our Dubai pets can also benefit from a garden full of artificial grass. Here are 3 reasons why artificial grass provides greener living for you, and your pets.

No muddy paw prints in the house 

One common drawback associated with real grass is the fact that when it does rain, or when it’s just naturally damp, sand and mud from a natural lawn can get everywhere, including on our pets. If we let our dogs, cats, or any other pet outside to play when they come back in the house they’ll trample muddy paw prints on your floors and get mud all over your furniture. Artificial grass requires no soil and therefore will never turn muddy, even in the rain. This means your pets can play outside to their heart’s content and will come back in just as clean and possibly even cleaner than when they went out!

No risk of toxins

Household pets tend to eat most things in the garden, including the grass. Natural grass itself isn’t harmful to them but if the grass has been treated with weed killers, pesticides, and other chemicals and then this could cause some serious problems. Artificial grass requires no chemicals at all to keep it looking great so your pets can spend all day on the synthetic grass without any exposure to nasty toxins.

Thanks to the vast increase in popularity of synthetic turf, over the last few years, more and more households now have artificial grass in their gardens in Dubai than ever before. Because of this, one of the most common questions that people ask concerning their gardens is which is better out of synthetic turf or real, natural grass. Well, in truth, you can’t really answer that question definitively, because it’s all down to a matter of personal preference, and perhaps a person’s unique circumstances. It’s like asking which is the better colour, red or yellow? Some people like red, whilst others like yellow. If any of the following applies to you however, then you may very well be better suited to synthetic turf. We’ll now be looking at a few circumstances in which synthetic grass in Dubai could prove to be the wiser choice when compared with real grass.

You don’t have very much spare time – Let’s face it, there aren’t really enough hours in the day at the best of times, especially if you’re holding down a job, studying, and/or looking after children and animals, and keeping your home clean, tidy, and respectable. If you’re really struggling for time, looking after a garden, particularly in the summer when natural grass tends to thrive in the right conditions, can be a real time consuming experience. In this instance, you would be far better suited to synthetic turf  in Dubai because it requires far less maintenance, care and attention. One of the main benefits of synthetic grass in Dubai is the fact that it saves so much time so on days when you do have a little time to yourself, you aren’t watering, mowing, fertilizing and digging up weeds when you could be relaxing in the garden.

You’re trying to save money – If you’re actively trying to save money and cut back on your household bills and general spending, synthetic turf in Dubai could prove very useful indeed.  In hotter parts of the world like Dubai and the United Arab Emirates many households pay a great deal on their water bills, because the grass needs so much water. Even in cooler in more stable climates, water usage still adds up, as does the costs of electricity for lawnmowers, weed killers, pesticides and fertilizers. Synthetic Dubai grass requires none of the above so your bills will be greatly reduced.

You want a nice looking garden on a budget – If you’re looking for an attractive looking garden but don’t have the time or the money to maintain a real one, artificial grass is perfect because it looks so incredibly attractive and natural. Imagine a freshly mowed lawn, in the best condition possible and that’s pretty much how your lawn will look all year round. Basically, once you choose which synthetic grass Dubai you like the look of, you get to enjoy it for years upon years to come, in pretty much the same fantastic condition as when you purchased it brand new.

3 common myths about fake grass lawns in Dubai that are simply not true

As we’re now a part of the social networking generation, an era of smart phones, tablets, and portable devices able to connect to the internet in seconds, it seems as if everybody is now an expert on numerous subjects and they now have a means of expressing this fact via a number of different platforms. The problem is that much of this so-called “expert advice” is simply not true and is therefore counterproductive as people will read it online and take it as gospel. Even the fake grass industry has suffered as a result of misinformation and misconception and people basically saying things about the industry and the products they produce that are simply not true. In reality, fake grass is incredibly beneficial for homes, businesses, animals, people, and even the environment, yet there are still common myths associated with the industry that do seem to deter some potential clients. Here we’ll be clearing things up once and for all as we look at 3 common fake grass myths that are simply not true.

 

Harmful Toxins

Fake grass contains lead and other harmful toxins – Wrong! This particular myth dates way back the 1960’s, where cheap fake bright green “grass” was common in businesses all over the world, particularly the food and market trades. This fake grass felt extremely uncomfortable and was even pretty painful if the truth be told. It was instantly recognisable as cheap and fake, but more worryingly was the fact that this product did actually contain toxic lead and other harmful materials. These days however, things are very, very different compared with the 1960’s as fake grass now looks and feels just like real grass and it is now made from 100% safe and eco-friendly materials that pose no threat or danger to humans, animals, or the environment in the slightest.

Not Authentic Looking

Fake grass doesn’t look like real grass – Again, this is just not true. At first glance,fake grass looks identical to real grass and even with incredibly close inspection it will still fool some people into believing it’s the real thing. The materials, the technology, the equipment, and the expertise levels required to produce fake grass lawns have all advanced phenomenally over the last few years and truthfully artificial grass looks almost identical to real grass.

Poor For Drainage

Artificial turf drains poorly – Another myth about artificial grass that is simply not true is the fact that many believe that it drains poorly and that when it does rain, the water will just sit on the surface and turn into a giant puddle. In reality however, many fake grass companies have now developed synthetic grass that can drain water away faster and more efficiently than natural grass. It isn’t uncommon for fake lawns to drain at a rate of around 30 inches per hour. Because of this, rain water and pet urine will both drain away and as these products also contain natural odour blocking materials (that are 100% safe) bad smells are quickly  eliminated.
