Due to the lack of accommodating and accessible spaces, it can be a challenge for wheelchair users to find places where they can maneuver freely without any obstruction. This is especially true when it comes to front lawns and garden areas. These spaces are typically narrow and feature natural grass, which can be a difficult surface for wheelchair users. Natural grass, when wet, becomes muddy and slippery, making it nearly impossible for those in wheelchairs to move around. Because wheelchair users desire greater freedom of movement and less restrictive spaces, many are turning to synthetic turf as a solution. Here are some reasons why artificial grass is an ideal surface for wheelchair users. 

Low Maintenance 

The amount of necessary maintenance work is drastically reduced for those who own artificial turf. The hygienic properties and effective drainage system of synthetic turf help preserve the cleanliness of the surface. With artificial grass, typical maintenance tasks like regular watering, mowing, trimming, or fertilizing, are not needed. This can especially be helpful for those who use a wheelchair and find it a challenge to look after their lawn.

Incredible Durability 

High-quality artificial turf has incredible durability that allows it to last for many years despite heavy foot and wheelchair traffic. Synthetic grass is a tough and resilient surface that can keep its beautiful aesthetic and functionality with periodic maintenance work. Wheelchair users won’t have to worry about the condition of their artificial turf surface, no matter what it goes through. 

Smooth and Consistent Surface

Artificial turf’s toughness is shown through its smooth and consistent surface, which is ideal for wheelchair users. Unlike natural grass, synthetic grass features no holes, dips, or mud patches even amidst rough weather conditions. Artificial turf’s smooth and consistent surface will make moving around a lawn or garden area easy for wheelchair users. 

Affordable and Efficient

Wheelchair users will appreciate the affordability of synthetic grass. Because artificial turf requires less maintenance and water usage, those who own it will actually save more than owners of natural grass in the long run. If you or someone you know uses a wheelchair, installing artificial turf is a worthwhile investment that increases both accessibility and savings.
