  • Plant a Garden in 2024: How to get started now

    In the winter, walking out to fetch the mail may be one of the only ways you’re scratching the itch to spend some time outdoors. These short forays to the front stoop or the end of the driveway don’t allow us to get a whole lot of fresh air, but what’s inside the mailbox might be bringing you a little of the sunshine you crave.

    In the gray winter months, few things brighten a gardener’s path quite like the surge of catalogs that find their way to our doors. From seeds and sprouts, to trees and tubers, the handful (or dozens!) of enticingly colorful magazines that are delivered to our homes really kickstart the desire to get a jump on the growing season.

    But is it too early? It still gets dark by dinnertime, and nobody would be shocked by waking up to find a few more inches of snow on the ground. It may not feel like it right now, but it won’t be winter forever. Spring will be here before we know it. When the gardening catalogs begin to pile up, it’s the perfect time to start planning and preparing for a new garden.

  • artificial grass lawns require very little in the way of maintenance

    On the other hand, artificial grass lawns require very little in the way of maintenance. They don’t need mowing, they don’t need fertiliser and they don’t need watering. In this way then, artificial grass installers can help you reduce the amount of water you use. In the summer, outdoor water use accounts for over 50% of the water we use – a startlingly large percentage. By opting for artificial turf, you remove the need to use this supplementary water without sacrificing the quality of the surface. Artificial grass is strikingly like natural grass aesthetically; and you don’t have to go to great pains to make it look halfway as presentable. Regardless of conditions, it will retain the same stellar shape and colour. Don’t believe us? Try it for yourself: you can get free artificial grass samples delivered directly to your door.

  • Reduce water use with artificial grass suppliers

    Maintaining a natural grass lawn can be hard work. To keep at its peak throughout the course of an entire year, there are an inordinate amount of considerations you have to make. Composed of a precise blend of nutrients, the application of a well-suited fertiliser will provide your lawn with the components it needs to develop into a healthy lawn. But applying fertiliser on top of mowing the lawn regularly, eradicating the presence of moss and weeds, watering the lawn in rain-starved conditions, overseeding, and maintaining the edges of the lawn, is an almighty task. Collectively, these tasks amount to a sizeable investment of time, money and precious resources.

  • Water reuse

    If we can unearth methods of reusing and recycling water, we can reduce the strain on water mains supplies. One easily implemented method is rainwater harvesting. Collecting and utilising falling rainwater is an incredibly simple method of self-supply that has been around for millennia. To fail to take advantage of such a readily available source of water would be ridiculous – especially considering how easy it is to do.

    Water butts can store thousands of litres of rainwater. Simply situate it beneath the downpipe of your guttering system and rainwater will slowly but surely collect within it. When you need to make use of this water – for watering plants, for washing clothes or flushing toilets – all you have to do is empty the stored water through the attached tap.

  • World Water Day: How to reduce the amount of water you use

    World Water Day aims to bring awareness to the importance of using water sustainably. Without changes in the way we, as a society, use water, future generations will suffer from inadequate potable water supplies. As the human population grows – and the effects of climate change worsen – the strain on our water supp

    lies will continue to mount. To combat this problem, we have to make changes. And if we are to make genuine progress, everyone has to play their part. Outdoor water use accounts for a disproportionately large amount of household water usage – rising as high as 50% in the summer – making it an obvious target. In this post, we’re going to talk about a number of different things you can do to reduce outdoor water usage and do your bit for the environment.

    Well, there’s Jessica Alba, who says: “My first priority in doing our home renovations was making sure that all of our augmentations were environmentally friendly, in addition to the eco requirement, we wanted to use products that were child and pet friendly.” She goes on to say that “The result is far beyond what I could have imagined.”

  • Why Celebrities Love Artificial Lawns!

    Firstly, during these unique challenges that are being faced globally by us all, we at Lawrence Lawns hope that you and your loved ones are safe and well!

    Recently you may have noticed many celebrities taking part in challenges and campaigns from home, as they socially isolate themselves. In these videos, it’s not uncommon to see that they all have artificial lawns in their gardens.

    There are many reasons for this such as:

    • The minimal maintenance they require
    • The lower long term costs (gardeners, watering, etc)
    • The all weather family friendly convenience they provide
    • The improved eco friendly credentials, as you use no water, pesticides or grass feed the keep our artificial lawns looking green and healthy

    But we think the main reason is the luxurious look and feel an artificial lawn offers.

  • You’ll gain a sense of accomplishment. 

    Just picture this: After a long day, you’re heading out to the garden with a basket to fill with your bounty. As you explore, you find juicy heirloom tomatoes, lush leafy greens, and crisp cucumbers and zucchini all ready to be picked and enjoyed. You gather your own produce that you’ve worked hard to grow and care for during a long growing season. Together, you and your family then enjoy a delicious meal made with food from your own garden.

    It’s a wonderful scene, right? That’s why one of the most rewarding parts of embarking upon a backyard garden is harvesting your own homegrown produce. It’s immensely satisfying to see plants you’ve nurtured from seedlings to become thriving fruits and vegetables — and to be able to say, “I grew this.”

    Undoubtedly, you’ll have encountered challenges and setbacks along the way during your gardening journey. For example, maybe pests took a bite out of some of your plants, or poor soil prevented some vegetables from flourishing as you had hoped. Learning how to tackle these problems and overcome them gives you a sense of confidence in your own abilities that truly can’t be beat.

  • You’ll protect the environment. 

    The simple act of growing your own vegetables is one way individuals can make an immediate and positive environmental impact. The environmental benefits of home gardening are numerous: you’ll reduce your carbon footprint and carbon emissions and decrease your reliance on fossil fuels. And having a regular source of food just outside your door will mean you’ll be less impacted by disruptions to industrial food supply chains.

    The reduction of food waste you can implement through a home veggie garden is another way you can become a better steward of the earth. It allows you to use only what you need for meals, rather than purchasing a surplus of ingredients, as you might at a grocery store, that ultimately goes to waste.

    If you want to go another step further in your efforts, you can begin a compost pile with your organic food scraps, keeping your excess out of the landfill entirely and gaining a nutrient-rich source of fertilizer for your garden.
