Low Maintenance Backyard

We future-proofed this brand new home so that the clients can travel and return home without the need to spend hours in the garden. The challenge Our clients built a beautiful home to spend their retirement in. They enjoy travelling but not the hassle of getting the property back up to scratch when they return home. While they knew they needed low maintenance, our clients would not sacrifice a natural-looking lawn. They compared several different types of grass in their search for the most realistic artificial grass.  The solution Our clients found SmartGrass and loved that our Earth Series grass looked exactly like their new neighbour’s real lawn – without the weeding, cutting edges and watering. SmartGrass installers worked around other contractors to complete the backyard in stages. They installed the aggregate base and left it to settle then returned to lay the grass on top once concrete planter boxes and tiling were finished. Our clients are now enjoying their easy care new home and how it doesn’t hold them back from the activities they’d rather be doing.  “We don’t want to shift again, we’re really happy here and want to stay here, so we’ve built maintenance free so we can enjoy our lifestyle. And when we come back from holiday after two weeks away, there won’t be any mowing or watering. I think it’s the grass of the future.” - Margaret Hansen
