Happy New Year from Grupo CG Charlesworth Gardens, Artificial Grass Spain and Flores Online Garden Centre.


www.charlesworthgardens.com


At Grupo CG we have always prided ourselves on quality and


honesty, which is why we have so many customers who repeatedly use our services. This year we are hoping to extend ourselves a bit further with the services we supply.


At the time of typing this it is raining, hopefully as we push through January and February we won’t see much cold. Don’t forget if it looks like cold weather you may wish to protect some of your more tender plants, Lantana, Hibiscus, Ficus etc.


The rainfall is great to help the gardens, the plants and grass. But the big problem with real grass is getting it done properly in the first place. If you choose to use natural grass, there is a lot more to it than putting in soil and throwing grass seed on top. I am always the first person to agree grass is wonderful in the garden especially here in Spain where it helps create a beautiful oasis of green in a hot country. I am always willing to tell customers that if they want natural grass they can have it. But, and believe me that is a BIG but, most people severely underestimate the quantity of work and materials to make the lawn properly in the first place, the cost to install and run and water using an irrigation system and then the ongoing maintenance charges or costs you will have.


The reason I am saying this is that with almost all my customers the first words they often utter are, “I want a low maintenance garden”. Low and maintenance are two words that should never be used in a sentence with natural grass. This is partly why I have always been a massive supporter of artificial grass. I saw the benefits even for the U.K. market many years ago, therefore my company is a major specialist in the supply and installation of artificial grass here in Spain.


We have a larger choice of artificial grass (made in Europe) than any of our competitors, we have all the design knowledge and landscaping skills to give you exactly what you want and need from your garden, not just the lawn.
