We’ve seen a real shift in how outdoor spaces are being designed to be more welcoming and inclusive — and that’s a good thing. Getting outside comes with so many health benefits, and it’s great to see more thought going into making gardens and yards easier for everyone to enjoy, including people who use wheelchairs.
While natural grass, gravel and wood chips might look nice, they can make it tricky for wheelchair users to move around comfortably. That’s where artificial grass steps in — offering a low-maintenance, natural-looking alternative that’s smooth, tough and easy to care for.
Natural grass is rarely perfectly even. Over time, you get bumps, dips, muddy patches — all of which can make getting around difficult, not just for wheelchair users but for anyone. When we install artificial grass, we make sure the base is properly levelled so you’re left with a smooth, even surface that’s easy to move across and looks great too.
Real grass can’t always handle heavy use. Whether it’s foot traffic, pets, or the wear from wheels, natural lawns often end up patchy and worn out. Artificial turf, on the other hand, is made to cope with it all. It stands up to foot traffic, wheelchair use, kids playing, and pets running about — and keeps looking good for years.
Keeping a natural lawn tidy takes work — mowing, weeding, watering — which can be tough if you’ve got limited mobility. With artificial grass, you can forget about the mower and say goodbye to most of the hard upkeep. It drains well too, so if it needs a clean, a quick hose down will do the job.
While there’s an upfront cost to installing artificial grass, it pays off over the long run. You’ll save on water bills, garden services and equipment. And with proper care, your synthetic lawn will stay green and neat all year round, for many years.
If you love gardening, artificial grass works beautifully with raised garden beds, making the space easier to access and manage from a wheelchair. It blends in neatly and gives your garden a clean, tidy finish — no more struggling with muddy or uneven ground.
If you’re after a low-maintenance, long-lasting and accessible solution for your outdoor space, artificial grass is hard to beat. At Elite Synthetic Grass, we supply and install premium synthetic turf that looks great and works for everyone.
