The Thing About Artificial Grass
So I have come across an artificial grass issue in r/landscaping on Reddit and thus here we see how it is relevant in Singapore’s context.
Where is a good place for artificial grass in HDB?
Usually, artificial grass is used as flooring on the balcony. With so many ideas for balconies, artificial grass is popular because it looks like a grass patch.
Advantages of artificial grass in Singapore?
- Pet-Friendly: One of our biggest concerns for pets is ticks and fleas. The grass blades are made of polyethylene and polypropylene plastic. The base of the flooring has little to no soil. This has made it inhabitable for the little pesky ticks and fleas to live. (However, do note that there are times that ticks and fleas may jump onto your animal and transport it to the artificial grass)
- Ever-green aesthetics: Made out of plastic, artificial grass without the need to water and add soil to make it fertile for the grass.
- Versatile: There is one advantage that has not been mentioned enough. The versatility of artificial grass. You can pretty much lay it everywhere. That includes tiles and other hard flooring.
Disadvantages of artificial grass in Singapore?
- Upfront cost: It has a higher upfront cost for labour and materials. Most of the cost will be due to proper drainage system and getting the ground ready for the installation of artificial grass
- Heat retention: Artificial grass will get hotter than natural grass under direct sunlight as it is made out of plastic and there is no water to regulate the temperature of the blade
- Installation process: The installation process of artificial grass can be complicated with drainage and preparation of the ground. However, this will be easily solved by contacting us.
