As an almost-homeowner (our building starts this week, FINALLY), we’re definitely becoming more eco-conscious and more concerned with sustainability.ย In the house we’ll be using solar-power for the most part and will have tanks for water, and we’ll have our recycling bins set up in our scullery.ย It figures that with all of the efforts we’re taking, we’d be looking at something more sustainable for our garden.
I am in NO WAY a gardener.ย I have the anti-green thumb, if anything.ย To the point where my hubby has now asked me to stop tampering with various pot plants and stay as far away as possible.ย Pretty much every plant I touch dies!ย That’s where the idea of artificial grass comes in for me.
With the constant threat of water shortages and water restrictions, artificial grass is becoming vastly more popular than homeowners attempting to grow and maintain a regular lawn.ย The trick is finding a company that provides you with a natural looking, good quality product – and Nouwens Carpets does this!ย Thanks to Nouwens Carpets, you can have a year-round, beautiful green lawn, with little-to-no maintenance and you won’t waste our country’s precious water reserves.
Along with less water usage, you don’t have to worry about seeding, planting, weeding or mowing, and (the benefit that strikes me the most) NO ALLERGY-CAUSING GRASS POLLEN!ย I can’t tell you how much I suffer with hay fever, so this would be an absolute blessing.
Nouwens Carpets have a range of 7 different kinds of artificial turf, with different shades and textures, making it suitable for many different areas – commercial and business gardens, as well as putting greens.ย The Nouwens artificial turf also comes with an eight year UV warranty, something very few other companies offer.
This artificial grass idea seems SO ideal – proof that the grass really can be greener.
You can find out more by checking out the Nouwens Carpets website HERE, or calling them on (058)6221101.ย Alternatively you could look at their Facebook page HERE.
Now for the exciting part!ย Nouwens has decided to give one of my lucky reader’s the chance to winย Kikuyu turf to the value of R6250 – this includes installation, and equals 10m squared of the beautiful artificial grass.

The best thing is I don’t have to look after it! there’s no maintenance involved and it will still look stunning x
I love that too – anything low maintenance is a win for me! x
Love that no weeding or watering needs to take place.
Haha I know! I am not a fan of weeding at all. x
Absolutely adore this artificial grass! its definitely something i want for my back yard as my dogs run my back yard grass free and an added bonus is definitely the no pollen so allergy free!
I have to say the allergy-free part is what gets me the most! x
Having gone through the Cape Town drought, ongoing water restrictions and becoming SO conscious of water usage and conservation, artificial grass is a no brainer! Also, it looks lush all year round! Yay!
Exactly! It’s a win for our eyes AND the environment. x
Def the no allergy part! I suffer from the worst hayfever! And I also get seriously itchy sitting on the grass. I would love to be able to play outside with my little boy without worrying about getting a rash.
It would be perfect for you then! x
This could be one of the best giveaways this year! What an awesome prize. I am also not so great at gardening
Oh thank goodness, it’s not just me! It’s a super giveaway, I wish I could enter haha! xx
No maintenance plus weed free is my best and it looks awesome too๐
The whole low maintenance thing is very cool xxx
I was literally JUST talking to Josh about getting artificial lawn this morning. Our home is a constant sandpit with the dogs in and out and grass battling to grow in certain areas. This would make the BIGGEST difference ๐๐๐
Good luck then!!! It must be fate ๐ x
Low maintenance = less money spent on a gardener and more money on make up! Haha
Hahahaha I love this! x
Love that it is so low maintenance and of course water saving!
Yes, easy work and eco-friendly! xx
Definitely the convenience of not having to trim it a few times a month, especially with these summer rains! As soon as we cut it, it feels like it almost immediately grows again! ๐ This would be an aweeeeeeeeesome win ๐
Agreed – so much less work for more gorgeous green grass!
I think it goes without saying – low maintenance = more quality time with family
Exactly!
the low maintenance means less money on gardener and can spend more on my daughter!
I didn’t even think of it that way, but yes!
Save on water, lawnmower and backache bills!
Those are definitely great reasons!
For me its not having to mow the lawn.
My hubby would totally agree!
My favourite things about artificial grass are no brown patches and no mowing required! ๐
Yes – all just beautiful, even green grass!
The fibers give it an even feel and look of thickness.
Yes!
