Robert Redcliffe of Namgrass, which currently sells 10,000 square meters of artificial grass per week, says business is booming, adding, "We started five years ago in the UK and it can transform the way you use the garden. There's the obvious advantage of no cutting or watering, but also there's no mud for children or pets to walk through the house." He disagrees that artificial grass is harmful to the environment and added, "There are ecological benefits. In the long run the effect of artificial grass is outweighed by not having to use a lawnmower, running water or fertilizers."
