The 2018 weather situation favors investment in artificial turf landscaping.
The weather conditions that Europe has experienced this year provide the perfect excuse for homeowners to invest in artificial turf for their gardens. Hot, dry spells are becoming more frequent in Europe, and coupled with a lack of rainfall, they leave the authorities Europeans with no choice but to ban the excessive use of water for irrigation. As a result, many green areas, parks and gardens have turned brown or vanished altogether.
This is a factor not to be underestimated. A Dutch study even highlights that the value of real estate is increased by 10% if the garden is green and exuberant. Moreover, those who study the psychology of color agree that it is the color that matters, not so much the material from which the items are made. Belgian and Dutch landscapers have already “jumped on the bandwagon” by offering services that will make gardens look green and beautiful, a service welcomed by real estate agents eager to sell properties.
In extreme weather conditions, grass is always the first to suffer the consequences, drying out or becoming less lush. lush. This affects people’s perception of these spaces.
Artificial turf, on the other hand, is not affected by climatic conditions; moreover, it does not require require water to maintain its color and is designed to quickly drain rainwater. It also prevents heat from affecting the soil underneath, which slows the dehydration process of the surface and its immediate surroundings.
An article recently published in the scientific journal Nature hinted that the high temperatures measured during the summer of 2018 could occur again in the next four years. That’s why it may be time to consider investing in artificial turf for gardens and public spaces, which will ensure reduced stress levels throughout the year.
