24/08/2026Home improvements are typically synonymous with a better living environment for the homeowner, an increase in value of your property - and if external then even a nicer sight for your community.

Once the preserve of the hockey pitch - astroturf and other, softer, options, soon became a must have for every homeowner who fancied a perfect, pristine surface that wouldn’t get muddy or die off in the heat. However, MyBuilder.com recently did some research on demand, and found that actually, the perfect artificial lawn might be on a downward turn in terms of popularity. We found that enquiries for artificial grass installation are down 48 percent year on year.
