In Wellington, a family’s battle with a muddy lawn with two dogs at home, has a common ring to it. Joe and his wife Esther, with two lively dogs, faced the daily challenge of maintaining a green, healthy lawn and being able to fully enjoy their outdoor area.
The constant upkeep—watering, mowing, and cleaning up after their pets—was exhausting and time-consuming. However, their decision to switch to SmartGrass marked a pivotal moment in their lives, transforming their home environment from a nightmare to a dream.
From Nightmare to Dream: How SmartGrass Revolutionized Joe’s Home Environment
The Challenge: Battling Mud and Maintenance
Wellington’s climate, coupled with the enthusiastic digging habits of their dogs, meant that Joe was constantly fighting against mud and mess. The task of keeping the indoors clean with dogs bringing in dirt was almost impossible.
The Turnaround with SmartGrass
The installation of SmartGrass was a game-changer. Designed to look and feel like real grass, Joe choose our SmartGrass Retreat 40 from our Earth Series Range, our premier landscaping grass that includes two brown layers of thatch to make it look real, drains five times faster, is stronger than latex backed artificial grass, and requires no watering, mowing, and very little maintenance. For Joe and Esther, this meant:
No More Watering: The synthetic nature of SmartGrass eliminated the need for watering, a significant advantage in Wellington where water restrictions are common.
No More Mowing: Weekends were no longer dominated by lawn care, freeing up time for more enjoyable activities.
Durable and Pet-Friendly: Despite initial concerns about how their dogs would interact with the artificial turf, it proved to be durable and resistant to wear and tear from their pets who love it like it was real.
