Sprinkler Due to changes in climate, it seems inevitable that most UK homeowners will be facing a hosepipe and sprinkler ban and may even have to have water meters installed to monitor water usage. This will impact our lives greatly as we’ll constantly have to monitor our water usage if supplies aren’t increased.

According to BBC News ‘Population demands, unpredictable weather and the growing demands of householders are all given as reasons’ for water shortages. It seems that the South East region of the UK looks set to be the biggest area of concern.

With certain areas of the house taking priority over others for the need for water (kitchen, bathroom etc) one area that could be neglected (and may even have to be neglected), is the garden, and in particular the lawn. The Environment Agency advised not to water the lawn as a water saving measure! However, this doesn’t mean the end of a lush green lawn…

In the home today there are many ways water is used and wasted. Some are obvious like Showers, Drinking or Washing the car. Some are less obvious like leaks and dripping taps.


8 Ways To Save Water

1: Have a shower instead of a bath.
2: Save water when flushing the toilet.
3: Fix leaks and drips around the house.
4: When buying new washing machines or dishwashers choose water efficient models.
5: Water your garden and plants in the evening to reduce evaporation.
6: When washing your car try to use a bucket or a hose pipe fitted with a trigger nozzle.
7: Install a water butt in your garden. Use this water for plants and lawn areas
.
8:Don't leave taps running when washing food , face, teeth or dishes.

If your garden requires a lot of watering and maintenance and will suffer from the water restrictions, then a Lazy Lawn could be the answer. Lazy Lawns are first-rate artificial lawns and are fully UV stabilised so will remain lush and green all year round. They are specially developed top of the range sports surfaces that are designed to look highly realistic - Artificial lawns have come a long way since the days of the artificial green grocer type grass!

Please take a look at our photos of past Lazy Lawn installations to see how realistic our Synthetic Turf looks. Ideas and Examples

Lush Green Lawn

 

With the many large developments planned in the South East region, many contractors will be looking for a real grass alternative and Artificial Lawns are the obvious alternative. Lazy Lawns behave just like natural lawns being fully permeable so water passes through them, so they will cause no drainage problems.

Restrictions placed on our water consumption are obviously not going to prove to be very popular, but at least you can be assured that Evergreens UK will deliver to you the best alternative to real turf.

 


Garden Lawn

Even if you will not be greatly affected by the water restrictions, Lazy Lawns offer many benefits and are ideal for shaded and muddy lawns, dog owners, play areas, patios, pool sides, terraces, courtyards and roof gardens.

A Lazy lawn could be just a small step in helping to conserve water, other ways include; turning taps off when brushing teeth or washing vegetables, taking showers instead of baths and keeping a water butt in the garden.
