Lockdown increases demand for artificial grass

According to Google Trends, online searches for the keywords “artificial grass” increased by 185% in May 2020 compared to May 2019. This suggests that people in lockdown have been focusing on their gardens and how they can be improved with artificial grass.

With mostly fine weather during the lockdown, people have been spending more time in their gardens. They appreciate having a lawn but are concerned about maintaining it. Higher than normal temperatures on some days have caused patchy grass, and homeowners are conscious that a grass lawn needs regularly watering and mowing in summer.

As people return to work after the lockdown, they will have less time to spend gardening, but still want to enjoy a good looking garden. Artificial grass is the solution for a low-maintenance lawn, since it can be used in all weathers and does not become muddy in wet conditions.

Additionally, the coronavirus outbreak has caused families, especially those with pets and children, to be more concerned about hygiene. Artificial grass is hygienic, non-toxic and easy to keep clean. Installed correctly, any rainwater is drained away from the artificial grass so that it never becomes waterlogged or muddy.

Households that do not want to spend time cutting grass and tending to their lawn are increasingly turning to artificial grass to enjoy a low-maintenance garden that looks and feels like the real thing. Artificial grass in North Wales homes will stay green and will last for many years, even under heavy use by adults, children and pets.
