Some people love nothing better than a real grass lawn.  But it doesn’t always present the best and most versatile surface in every single garden.  It pays to know something about outdoor carpet tiles and grass carpeting when you have a lawn care business.  Sooner or later you will find you have a client who might benefit from using this rather than real grass in their garden.

One little known benefit of using these products rather than having real grass concerns swimming pools.  When these are heavily used the grass around them suffers as a result.  With water containing chemicals slopping onto the lawn regularly during the summer months, you’ll have a hard time keeping up the maintenance on it.  Grass carpeting works well and you can always restrict it to a separate area which borders the pool itself.  It’ll stay looking good the whole time.

If your client wants to create a feature of a pond, carpet tiles and grass carpeting can be put to good use here as well.  Not everyone wants a rockery or excessive planting around their pond, and if your clients want grass nearby this is the best bet to keep it looking good all year round.

Another good idea is to bear these items in mind when you are landscaping a whole garden.  Sometimes certain areas are habitually muddy and just won’t withstand an actual lawn.  With some good planning and an eye to these weak areas you can transform them with grass carpeting and still give your client the real grass lawn they want for the rest of the area.

The trick is not to try and fit the carpeting into the rest of the lawn like a patch.  Instead, make sure you focus on making this area deliberately stand out, perhaps by building it up into a higher area and creating flowerbeds around the edges for instance.  There are lots of ideas and solutions like this that you can use to solve a problem in a garden.

Outdoor carpet tiles are also good for extending the living space onto the patio.  Since they are largely waterproof (always make sure of this before buying anything) you can use them to create an area that brings the outdoors inside, and vice versa.  In a sense you can use them to create another room in the garden.

Carpet tiles of two colors could also be used to create a giant games area if a garden is big enough to take it.  All the client needs to do is to buy the giant garden games to use on them.  It’s an easy area to maintain and it gives the whole family something different and more exciting to do in the garden as well.

As you can see, artificial grass carpeting and carpet tiles for the outdoors offer far more than just freedom from mowing.  They also offer versatile uses that many clients will love and request.
