Even though it’s still winter here in the Bay Area, it won’t be long before people start thinking of getting out the old lawn mower on a regular basis to cut the grass. Perhaps this might be a good time to reflect on whether you should have a synthetic lawn installed.
”Why?”, you ask? Well, apart from the most obvious benefits of artificial grass such as saving on water, helping to reduce air and water pollution and saving hours of labor, mowing ‘natural’ grass can lead to accidents and injuries.
According to a report carried out over a period of 5 years in the USA, well over 60,000 Americans were admitted to hospital emergency rooms because of lawn mower accidents. The most common injuries were cuts and bruises but there were cases of bone fractures, limb amputations and even a number of deaths. Admittedly, the ride-on type of lawn mower was a contributor to these type of accidents, however, power mowers and even push mowers were responsible for the lion share of injuries.
So what’s the solution? Well, you can start reading up on how to avoid lawn mower injuries OR you can decide to install an artificial lawn for a greener solution. Long term you are likely to reap far greater benefits than just avoiding lawn mower accidents – you’ll be helping the environment, saving on needless lawn watering and of course spending more time in your garden at leisure because you don’t have to spend countless hours mowing the grass and emptying the grass clippings!
