Tired of Mowing? Why More Crewe Residents Are Choosing Artificial Grass | Landscaping & Garden Design in Crewe & Cheshire
Keeping a traditional lawn looking lush and green isn’t easy—especially with the UK’s unpredictable weather and pressures of busy families and pets.
For many south Cheshire residents, the endless cycle of mowing, feeding, weeding, and watering has become more of a chore than a joy. That’s why artificial grass is quickly becoming one of the most popular landscaping solutions in Crewe and across Cheshire.
At Goodwin Gardens, we’ve seen firsthand how switching to synthetic turf can completely transform how people use and enjoy their gardens.
In this post, we’ll explore why artificial grass is in such high demand and whether it might be the right choice for your home.
1. Zero Mowing, Ever Again
Let’s start with the obvious benefit: no more mowing. Whether you’re retired, busy with work, or just don’t enjoy gardening, artificial grass saves you hours every month. For Crewe homeowners with small or irregularly shaped gardens, the convenience is unmatched.
Bonus: You’ll never need to invest in lawn mowers, strimmers, or garden fuel again.
2. Looks Great All Year Round
Unlike real turf, which can look patchy, muddy, or dry depending on the season, artificial grass stays green and neat 365 days a year. Even during Cheshire’s damp winters or dry summer spells, with proper construction your lawn will maintain its visual appeal.
We use high-quality, realistic-looking grass that mimics the natural tones and textures of real turf. Think high density, heavy pile weight with long pile height. We don't encourage the ‘cheap stuff’ because it's a false economy.
3. Perfect for Families and Pets
Artificial grass is ideal for families with children or pets. It creates a safe, mud-free surface for playing, running, or lounging—and it’s much easier to clean up after dogs.
Our installations use pet-friendly, drainage-enhanced materials that reduce odours and mess.
4. No Weeds or Bare Patches
Sick of weeds popping up or bare patches ruining your lawn? Artificial grass eliminates both. When professionally installed with a proper weed membrane, it creates a consistently clean surface that requires virtually no upkeep.
5. Drains Quickly – No Mud or Puddles
Crewe’s commonly clay-rich soil and frequent rainfall can create drainage issues. Artificial grass drains efficiently through a permeable sub-base, preventing mud puddles and waterlogging—perfect for rainy Cheshire days.
6. Ideal for Shady or Difficult Areas
Some new build gardens around Crewe, Nantwich, Sandbach and Congleton have awkward corners or shaded areas where real grass simply won’t grow. Artificial turf solves that issue, providing a neat, usable surface where natural lawn would struggle.
Great for side returns, under trees, or small city-style back gardens with little sunlight.
7. Boosts Property Appeal
A neat, low-maintenance garden is a big plus for potential buyers. Installing artificial grass can boost buyer and kerb appeal plus make your outdoor space more attractive during viewings—no matter what season it is.
8. Custom-Fitted to Your Garden
Artificial grass isn’t one-size-fits-all. At Goodwin Gardens, we shape and install your turf to perfectly match the size, curves, and features of your space.
9. Quick Installation by Local Experts
With our local knowledge and experience, most installations in the Crewe area can be completed in just a few days, with minimal disruption to your new home or daily routine.
We handle everything: ground preparation, weed membrane, drainage base, and finishing details. We can also bring samples to you!
10. Cost-Effective Over Time
While the upfront cost of artificial grass can be higher than laying turf, you’ll save money in the long run on water, maintenance, fertilisers, and equipment.
Think of it as a one-time investment that pays off in both time and convenience.
