CHOICE looks at artificial grass benefits, costs, cleaning and environmental considerations. Read the original: CHOICE - Pros and cons of artificial grass.

Our take

• Great in high-wear zones and shaded spots; plan for shade or cooling in summer.
• Cleaning matters - prompt solid pickup and routine rinsing keep fibres fresh. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• For pet odour, use a simple plan: smellBgone INFILL in the base plus smellBgone LIQUID on the surface as part of ongoing maintenance.

If replacing turf, neutralise odours first and follow local recycling options where available.
