Artificial Grass for Front Gardens
It’s not just what makes up the interior of your home that makes you proud of it. The first thing people see when they drive by or arrive at your home is also an important part of your home that can either be a source of pride or embarrassment depending on its appearance. And this is your front yard. We try our best to ensure that it looks very attractive as its appearance leaves a strong impression on people either a good one or a bad one. However, maintaining a natural lawn to keep it looking vibrant, pristine and healthy is expensive and it takes a lot of time and effort. The task of maintaining a natural lawn is even more daunting during the dry seasons as there will be no precipitation and there’ll be a serious need to conserve water.
The best solution to avoid this daunting maintenance task is using artificial grass for your lawn. It gives you your desired front yard for your home, all the while taking away the struggle. This is because artificial turf does not require much maintenance. It doesn’t require weeding, watering, fertilizing or mowing. Other landscaping resources like flowers, trees and bushes also complement it well. We want the appearance of our homes to reflect how hard we’ve worked for it and this is difficult to achieve with natural turf. However, with artificial turf, you don’t have to worry about the curb appeal of your home. You can relax and be rest assured that your lawn will always look pristine, manicured, fresh and healthy.
The numerous uses and application of artificial turf has made it to be one of the most versatile and useful garden improvements homeowners make. It also has a long lifespan as a result of its natural durability.
Having artificial grass installed in the front of your property is a real time saver, rarely will people use the front garden as anything other than parking or an entrance. So why would you want the regular maintenance?
Artificial grass is perfect for creating an ultra-low-maintenance front garden that will give your property serious curb appeal.
Front gardens are often neglected areas as, unlike back gardens, people spend very little time in them. The pay-off for the time you invest in working on a front garden is low.
In addition, the awkward nature of some front garden spaces can make maintenance a very time-consuming task indeed, particularly when that time could be better spent tending to your back garden, where you and your family will likely be spending much more time.
But first impressions are everything and your front garden is one of the first things people see when visiting your home. Even strangers passing by can pass judgement on how your home looks from the street.
Giving your property curb appeal can add serious value to your home, too, and this makes artificial grass a fantastic investment financially.
Reasons Why Artificial Grass Is Ideal For Your Front Yard
Here are just some of the really good reasons to use artificial grass, on the approach to your property.
-
It’s more real than you imagine
Let’s start by pointing out the obvious. Some fake grass is hideous. That’s why Green As Grass only supplies quality products – we don’t want to disappoint our customers.
When buying artificial grass, the trick is to choose a quality grade of artificial turf, engineered to look incredibly realistic. Manhattan artificial grass, from Green as Grass may well surprise you on just how authentic it looks. Using a brand developed to look incredibly convincing can fool even ardent gardeners into believing you’re a lawn magician!
-
Low maintenance lawns
The ease factor is the biggest advantage of using the best fake grass in landscaping projects. Installing artificial turf takes away a huge amount of ongoing maintenance. No mowing, weed killing, trimming or general concerns about divots, scuffs or mud patches; just an occasional tickle with a stiff broom to remove debris and revive the pile.
-
High resistance to ‘wear and tear’
Getting a high calibre brand of fake grass through us, means you’re going to have a front lawn constructed of sturdy stuff, which is wonderfully durable. So, there will be no more concerns if the kids play football on it, or you need to use it for temporary parking (for car parking you WILL need careful ground preparation). You can put garden furniture on it without fear of leaving ugly marks, and even place planters on your fake grass to make the front of your property a stunning statement.
-
All seasons landscape solution
The fabulous no-fade appearance of fake lawns– with so little effort – is not just available to you when the climate is kind either.
Specifying and installing the right artificial turf offers you year-round perfection for front lawns. Neither too much nor too little moisture diminishes this fabulous grass surface! If it rains for weeks in Bedfordshire, or you get a dry spell in Hertfordshire, your home will still be fronted by flawless green!
-
Nothing shady about this lawn solution
One of the biggest threats to natural lawns is actually things such as your home and any outbuildings, walls and other structures. Even your lovely trees and other landscape features can throw shade onto grass, making it challenging to keep it healthy across the entire span.
Fake grass is lusciously consistent and attractive across its surface, whether it’s under a bush or stretched along a wide-open driveway.
-
Avoid using chemicals in your garden
Keeping front lawns weed-free and looking at their best can lead to a reliance on chemical assistance. Whereas keeping front lawns weed-free and looking their best is all taken care of the minute you install artificial grass!
Remember, our high-quality fake lawns do not contain heavy metals or any other toxic ingredients.
-
Suitable for all landscapes
Another important benefit of installing artificial grass is that it can be ordered from us in whatever size best fits your outdoor project. We can even install it for you, whether it’s a small grassed area for communal gardens in London or the grand approach to a mansion in the rural South-East.
Once the surface has been properly prepared, fake grass can quickly turn an eyesore front garden into a ‘masterpiece’ of lush greenness

Artificial Grass in a Front Garden Will Help to Reduce Allergies
There are many people that suffer from seasonal allergies. Did you know that grass and the weeds that spread in the turf are some of the biggest contributors to allergies? It may be hard to avoid grass allergies totally, but you will definitely reduce your susceptibility by getting rid of the natural turf on your property.
Artificial grass is allergen-free, so you can easily enjoy the great outdoors without the hay fever, sneezing, and watery eyes that accompany natural grass. When a natural lawn is converted to artificial turf, pollen is no longer produced in the area. There will still be pollen in the vicinity which will come from nearby trees and plants, but because grass pollen production is suppressed, there is a reduced chance of allergy symptoms.
-
It’s Environmentally Friendly
Since the product requires no maintenance from gas or electric-powered lawn equipment, artificial turf is more eco-friendly than even natural grass. A simple sweeping with a broom will clear away most any debris or soil from the tip of the turf and have it looking great in no time.
In addition, artificial grass never needs toxic chemicals to protect its health. Not only are these chemicals dangerous for your kids and pets, who often come into direct contact when playing on the lawn, but they also contaminate runoff water systems and have a negative impact on the bigger picture.

Things To Consider When Choosing The Best Artificial Grass For Your Front Garden
Regardless of the usage of your artificial grass, there are a few things you should consider when choosing the best. Here are a few tips to help you get the most suitable artificial grass for you:
How much usage will your lawn receive?
Some artificial lawns will be used by pets and the entire family frequently while others may only be used purely for ornamental and beautification or decorative purposes.
If your lawn will be rarely used, then choosing a dense pile of artificial grass or a hard wearing will not be necessary. However, if your lawn will be used frequently and will receive a lot of foot traffic, then it is advisable that you choose a grass manufactured with Nylon fibres as it is the most resilient and strongest artificial fibre used in manufacturing artificial grass.
It can withstand extremely heavy use and the fibres will recover from furniture placed in the garden and foot traffic to return to its natural look of an upright position.
How good is the backing?
It is very vital to look closely at the backing of the artificial turf when you are trying to choose one that is long lasting.
Most manufacturers of artificial grasses combine a primary backing typically consisting of a woven or non-woven membrane with a secondary backing consisting of latex.
The primary backing is where the fibres are stitched to and then a coating of latex is applied to form the secondary layer which is how everything is held together.
It’s very necessary to choose an artificial grass that has backing materials with high levels of latex present.
Inferior artificial grass tends to have low levels of latex and as a result of this, the primary and secondary layers become separated and it can also cause excessive fibre loss.
We advise that the backing you choose should have a minimum of 800grams of latex per square metre.
Do you have any dogs or pets?
An artificial grass that can withstand regular use and heavy foot traffic is the best option for owners of dogs and pets. Our professionals at Gecko Artificial Grass Manchester advise pets and dog owners to get a Nylon artificial grass for their lawns.
With this choice, the height of the pile is not necessarily relevant. However, if you do not want to get a nylon artificial grass but instead want a fibre material made of Polyethylene or Polypropylene, then it would be better to opt for an artificial grass with a shorter pile height of about 25mm.
Is your chosen artificial turf fire resistant?
Choosing a fire resistant artificial turf is also very vital. This gives you assurance in case of fire outbreaks. Although not all artificial turfs are fire resistant, most of them are. Knowing that your artificial turf will not help in spreading fire relieves you of a bit of your anxiety when there’s a fire outbreak. This is why it is advisable to check with the manufacturer if the turf you chose is fire resistant.
Is your chosen artificial grass free from harmful substances?
It is important to always choose an artificial grass that has been independently tested and certified against harmful substances to ensure there aren’t any dangerous substances present in your chosen artificial turf. This is for your safety and that of your pets and family members.
You can also check this with your manufacturer.
How long is the manufacturer’s warranty?
The length of the manufacturer’s warranties can range from 3 years to 10 years. It’s very necessary to check what exactly is covered by your warranty, because some warranties do not have any worth. A good warranty should cover against excessive loss of yarn and colour fading as minimum throughout its duration.
