Transforming Essex’s Public Spaces with Artificial Grass

Artificial Lawn Company operates throughout London and the southeast, meaning we’re available to install artificial grass in Essex’s public spaces. Artificial grass for public spaces is a popular solution due to its aesthetic appeal and limited need for maintenance. As a result, we have a lot of experience in installing artificial grass in public spaces across London and the Southeast. No matter where in Essex you’re situated, Artificial Lawn Company is here to lend a helping hand in supplying quality artificial grass for public spaces.

Landscaping in Romford

Romford is a town that raises some controversy, as there’s debate about whether it’s based in Essex or London. Geographically speaking, it sits within the London Borough of Havering, which is predominantly made up of open space. In fact, roughly 59.32% of Havering is made up of parkland and protected countryside. Similarly, approximately 20 per cent of London’s ponds and lakes and around one-third of its reed beds and hedgerows can be found in Havering. As a result, Romford is the ideal town for incorporating synthetic turf into public spaces.

The purpose of artificial grass is often misunderstood, as many people believe its intention is to replace natural grass. This, however, isn’t the case. Synthetic turf should, instead, complement natural grass by being installed as an addition to a space rather than a replacement. For instance, many of Romford’s public spaces contain parks; for safety and convenience purposes, artificial grass could be installed in these spaces while natural grass remains in the rest of the surrounding areas.

Landscaping, Basildon

Basildon was initially developed as a new town in the 1950s, and many hundreds of acres were set aside to create parks and recreation grounds. As a result, the town is abundant in outdoor play areas, bowling greens, fishing lakes, pétanque grounds, town parks, skate parks, tennis courts, outdoor gyms, and crazy golf courses. The public spaces among these that are designed for a set purpose would benefit greatly from synthetic turf installation. For instance, outdoor play areas and outdoor gyms are the ideal locations to incorporate artificial grass. This is because it provides a level and cushioned surface, all without mud and weeds.

Braintree Landscaping

Braintree is another town that’s abundant in public spaces. These range all the way from Bocking Blackwater Local Nature Reserve and Open Space to Witham River Walk. As with the public spaces in Romford, synthetic turf could be incorporated in appropriate measures to improve the usability of the space. As a result, a perfect balance can be found between a beautifully natural space and one that can be used by the public.

Brentwood Landscaping

The town of Brentwood is synonymous with The Only Way is Essex, meaning that manicured appearances are of the utmost importance. What’s more, Brentwood is packed full of commons, country parks and woodlands, countryside sites and parks, nature reserves, and parks and playing fields. As a result, synthetic turf is the perfect contender for natural spaces to remain looking their best.

Grays Landscaping

Grays is the largest town in the borough and unitary authority area of Thurrock. As a result, there are a number of public spaces that could be embellished with the help of artificial grass.

Landscaping, Ilford

Ilford is another controversial town in the sense that there’s some debate as to whether it’s in London or Essex; however, it’s still a large town that’s abundant in public spaces. This means that there are multiple locations that could benefit from synthetic turf.

Harlow Landscaping

Harlow is another town that’s packed full of public spaces, including the Town Park, Parndon Wood, Jean McAlpine Park, the skate park, marshes and meadows, and memorial benches and trees. Any number of these spaces could be improved with the addition of artificial grass.

The Advantages of Artificial Grass in Public Spaces

The main advantage of artificial grass that places it as an ideal flooring solution for public spaces is its aesthetic appeal. While natural grass can look great with a significant amount of maintenance, without this, it looks far from attractive. Funds are often limited to tend to public spaces, meaning synthetic turf becomes an ideal solution. Therefore, the effortless aesthetic appeal of artificial grass also makes it a low-maintenance and cost-effective solution. In fact, the funds that are saved on this maintenance can be invested elsewhere in the community, making for a win-win scenario all around.

On top of this, synthetic turf is ideal for increasing the usability of spaces. This is because artificial grass is particularly safety-conscious, as it provides a completely level surface that’s also absorbent. Meanwhile, public spaces are areas of heavy footfall, and the robust fibres of artificial grass aren’t easily trodden down.
