A Softer Playing Surface For Kids

When it comes to kids, we always want what is best for them. There are only a few who would not do everything they can to make sure their kids are safe.

The great outdoors is one of the things Australia is famous for. Moreover, it really is a great country to grow up in. We are lucky that children in Western Australia can play outside all year round, but we also have to be careful to ensure that our kids are protected – whether it is topping up regularly with sunscreen, making sure they

Synthetic Sports Turf’s Tide is Turning

We often talk about synthetic turf as being a viable alternative to natural grass because of the climate in Western Australia. But when it comes to sports, even in countries where the climate is well-suited to growing lush, green grass - the use of synthetic turf is becoming more and more common.

Two major reasons for the switch to synthetic grass in sports are durability and maintenance – regardless of the climate.

Here’s A Question For You: When Did You Last Buy A Real Christmas Tree For Your Home in Perth?

You know the traditional Norwegian Spruce types that seem to thrive in northern Europe, particularly if there is likely to be lots of snow and ice throughout the winter – when Christmas takes place in the northern hemisphere.

Believe it or not, there are only few Christmas tree farms around Perth, notably in the northern and northeastern suburbs. Nevertheless, as far as we are aware, there is rarely any snow and a desert is not usually the most suitable place to grow most Christmas tree

How to Maintain Your Synthetic Lawn

While we regularly campaign for synthetic grass for its low maintenance costs compared to your traditional natural grass lawns, it is not suffice to say that it is ‘zero maintenance’.

To keep your synthetic lawn in top condition and the envy of your neighbours, it is highly recommended that you must be keen in handling your artificial grass lawns with minimal yet regular maintenance efforts.

So, what do you need to do to keep your lawn looking great? Well, start following a regular

Learn To Take It Easy

All too often we find that once we have our own home it brings a lot of hassle in keeping the place well maintained and in good condition. Many of us leave our parents and rent your own pad for a while, maybe with a mate or partner, and if we can save enough the Aussie dream is often to have our own place. But while you’re renting, the maintenance rarely seems to be an issue, especially if there is a grounds keeper or mower service provided as part of the letting.

Even Rain Can Be A Good Reason For Synthetic Grass

Okay, so one of the main reasons that synthetic grass is a good option for households in Perth is the lack of rainfall. But when it does rain there can be additional reasons to seek out sustainable artificial turf. It has been unseasonably wet recently (we did not get any rain at all in November 2010) but this wet winter and spring has thrown up some notable problems for those with traditional lawns – weeds.

In some suburbs rogue grasses (not the couch or buffalo that supposed to be in

Taking On Another School Make-over for Wanneroo

Schools have been one of the main types of institutions to realise the benefits of synthetic grass in recent years. And while many have made wise choices when it comes to installing low maintenance surfaces, the commitment continues to grow.

One school that has seen significant benefits of synthetic grass is Wanneroo Senior High School. The school has been so pleased with their initial communal lawn that they are now committing to another Green Planet Grass transformation.
