Summer garden all year round - win £100 worth of artificial grass

With the weather yo-yo-ing between clouds and rain and spells of lovely sunshine, it's fair to say we've had a typical British summer so far and the time we get to spend outdoors may be a little less than we would like. I actually managed to have my first BBQ of the year last weekend, when the sun had it's hat on for a little while, and it was really nice to spend some time outdoors with family, enjoying the garden, the company and of course, the weather.

It's a shame that our summers often leave us disappointed and I would love to spend more time outdoors in our own garden, but it's just been so damp and dreary. Add to this the fact that any period of rain causes grass (and weeds) to shoot up all over the place in next to no time, and our garden can quickly become unruly so it takes a lot of time and effort to get it back into order.

All of this makes me think that the best way to go is artificial grass. Realistic, easy to install and very easy to maintain, it can help create a luscious looking garden, all year round, come rain or shine. It's a great choice for families and for pets too as it's soft to play on and I really think it would make a big difference to our space - when we get the chance to use it, but also every day, when we look out the window to see a beautiful green lawn.
