Seeing as artificial grass or “astro turf” has a number of advantages over real garden lawns, it is becoming an increasingly attractive option for many people. Astro turf requires no water or fertiliser, very little maintenance and lasts an extremely long time yet has the same qualities as the real thing, such as being soft to touch and great for kids.

The only problem you might encounter with astro turf is finding the right product to purchase and the right retailer to buy from. But if you bear the following advice in mind, you can reap the rich rewards that astro turf provides without suffering from any issues in the future.

Product quality

First and foremost, you should choose a high quality astro turf product. Substandard artificial grass will soften and flatten over time, which not only affects its look and feel but can also have an impact on drainage and durability.

Value for money

Just because you need to prioritise quality with your choice of astro turf doesn’t mean to say you should pay over the odds. Look for retailers that don’t ask a premium for a high standard of astro turf but can also provide you with added value and extra services free of charge. One such supplier in the UK is Touch of Grass – they combine choice, service and value and have been trading for many years.

Help and advice

Any astro turf retailer worth its salt will be able to tell you which products would be best for you and your requirements. They should be forthcoming with this help and advice in an affable yet adept manner too.

Free samples

Before making a decision, don’t be afraid to ask for a free astro turf sample. The very best retailers won’t have a problem with this, as they know the quality of their astro turf will speak for itself. You will also be able to make a more informed decision by physically interacting with astro turf samples.

Next day delivery

The last thing you want is to be waiting around for days or possibly even weeks on end for your astro turf to arrive. What’s more, this can seriously disrupt your garden preparation, potentially forcing you to start all over again. So, make sure next day delivery is available.

Full guarantee

Chances are you won’t suffer any problems with your astro turf if you follow the aforementioned advice. However, it never hurts to have some sort of guarantee just in case your astro turf doesn’t live up to expectations or deteriorates sooner rather than later.
