Artificial grass has become increasingly popular in recent years due to its low maintenance and high durability. However, some homeowners may be hesitant to incorporate it into a mature garden as they fear it may look out of place or fake.
The good news is, there are a few easy steps you can take to make your artificial grass blend seamlessly into your mature garden. Over the years, we’ve become recognised as leading experts in artificial grass in Brentwood and the surrounding areas and we’ve helped countless customers create the perfect outside space.
Location Of Your Artificial Lawn
Firstly, before you do anything you need to think about where exactly you’re placing the artificial lawn.
Placing the lawn in an area that receives natural sunlight and has a view of the surrounding landscape can help create a more natural look. Additionally, consider placing the lawn in an area that is not the focal point of your garden, such as in a corner or on the side, to help it blend in more seamlessly.
What Type Of Artificial Grass Should I Choose?
There is a range of different styles and types of artificial grass available on the market, and as a result, you should be able to find a style which suits your property and your garden.
We suggest that you look for high-quality synthetic grass that mimics the look and feel of natural grass. You should also look for one which closely matches the colour of our natural lawn, as well as the texture. You could even find artificial grass with brown and yellow fibres mixed into the green to make it look more natural.
Focal Point
From water features to sculptures, there’s a wide range of focal points you can add to your garden space to create a point of interest and draw attention away from the artificial grass. This will help the lawn blend into the overall landscape.
Add Natural Elements Into The Outside Space
We recommend always blending in natural elements into the surrounding area around your artificial grass. Adding plants, flowers and trees around the artificial lawn will help create a more cohesive look. You can also use natural materials, such as stones, rocks, or wood chips, to create walkways or borders around the lawn.
Different Textures And Colours
Incorporating different textures and colours can also help make your artificial lawn blend into your mature garden.
Mix different shades of green into your garden, and plant different shrubs or greenery such as ferns or plantain lilies to create a natural blend between the artificial lawn and the surrounding area.
You could also use mulch, gravel, or different types of rocks to create a range of different textures in the garden.
Keep The Lawn Clean And Tidy
Just like with a natural lawn, it’s essential to keep your artificial lawn clean and tidy. Although you don’t need to mow it, you should remove any debris, such as leaves or twigs, regularly to prevent them from building up and creating an unnatural look. It’s also important to use a leaf blower or rake to remove any leaves or debris that accumulate on the lawn.
