A lawn that turns to straw in the event of drought. A hailstorm that destroys everything and forces you to sow grass again. Make sure the humidity level is right for your seedlings to grow properly. Do not walk on the lawn when it is very cold to avoid breaking the blades of grass weakened by frost. So many things to think about when you want to beautify your garden with a beautiful green coating.

What is the advantage of artificial turf?

And if, to arrange your garden, you think of synthetic turf ? Because yes, by choosing the artificial alternative, you free yourself from all these hassles since these products are specially designed to survive the seasons without suffering the inconvenience.

Synthetic turf facing the climatic elements

It is legitimate to think that in the middle of the summer season, synthetic turf becomes a real furnace when it is exposed to the sun. And in particular in the south of France.

  • When fall arrives …

With the many falling leaves during this season it is essential to rake and collect them. The decomposition of organic materials could deteriorate your green carpet. However, be careful not to damage the fibers of your lawn as this may reduce its lifespan. You can for example use a blower-suction or a flexible rake that will not match the strands.

Rest assured, with a synthetic grass mat, the water will flow quite normally. Almost invisible to the naked eye, micro holes in drainage allow the water to drain away without your garden turning into a paddling pool.

Does the lawn withstand cold winters?

As with the sun or the rain, the fibers of your synthetic lawn are specially designed to withstand significant drops in temperature. Your green coating will not be less pretty.

The return of sunny days often signifies the arrival of pollen. To give your artificial lawn a facelift, specialists recommend spraying with water to remove all dust and dirt. And if some stains persist, a little soapy water followed by rinsing will do!

If spending hours maintaining a lawn and fear that it will be abused by capricious weather is part of your concerns, know that thanks to the synthetic lawn, maintenance is greatly facilitated!
