ECOLOGICAL AND ALWAYS GREEN
Written by Joan Pla   
More and more people are questioning the effects of their little daily actions in the long term and we are not just speaking about closing the tap while we are brushing our teeth. Consciousness about our planet health state is becoming relevant in our society.
 
The chronological inequality of rains provokes that we shift from moments of drought to face dangers of floods in few months, or even, from one year to another, we experience completely opposite circumstances.  And no one can deny that the danger of having a law regulating the drought can threaten the survival of our gardens, being the grass the one suffering most. The outcome of these situations is the existence of large areas of dry grass due to the lack of watering, precisely in those times of the year where we have longer sun hours and therefore we have more free time to enjoy with our families.
 
In countries with Mediterranean climate, one of the most demanded options by customers who want to have a respectful and sustainable garden is xeriscape,  coming from the Greek root (dry) and from English landscape, and which defines a model of landscaping which consists of rational use of plants according to their hydrological needs.
The use of xerophyle plants (vegetable species with low hydrological consumption) and the use of materials meant for water saving, as for example synthetic grass, allow us to cover large areas of green without the need of watering and it needs no maintenance, no herbicides which can damage the natural balance of the garden as well as polluting the environment.
Nowadays, technology allows us not just to imitate, but also overcome the great variety of sensations that a perfect grass offer, always just cut, always green. A cespithose is a living being which requires lot of care and it is not easy to keep it good state. Not only for its watering needs,  plagues, frosts and the lack or excess of cutting can also damage it.
Ecological grass is so versatile, as it does not get damaged by the sun, the rain ante sudden temperature changes, and they are not affected by chemicals as chlorine in pools. Moreover, as it is fireproof, it is sage and can be washed easily, being an ideal solution for families who have pets. 
So it is that companies and administrations are betting hard on its implantation in projects of landscaping and urbanism, being a common element in gardened areas, flower beds and municipal roundabouts.
 
There is an artificial grass for every need. It is not the same pretending that it fulfils some visual commitments of freshness and greenness as spending long hours lying on it, or enjoying improvised games outdoor. Good counselling at the time of choosing the product  as well as an optimal installation are the unique guarantees which will allow us to enjoy authentic sustainable and ecological grass for years.
