An enthusiastic gardener brought her garden back to nature by removing the undesirable astroture behind her new home and replacing it with real plants.
They shared their trip in a series of photos on the R/Gardeninguk Subreddit. “From Zoopla, which lists astroturf, to a wildlife sanctuary!” said. “I posted a lot when I started my gardening for the first time, had a lot of help and a little hatred!”
Your “Before” photo shows a flat, featurelless garden that is covered with slightly worn wrong grass. This is a big problem for several reasons.
Artificial lawn may not have to mow, but it cannot be filtered through leaves and debris like real grass so that it needs vacuuming or other cleaning, which means that from the perspective of the maintenance status, it is a laundry.
Typical of the water to breed mosquitoes, as well as animal courtyine, causing smells. It collects warmth instead of cooling the area like grass, which leads to higher energy bills and less comfort in your garden and at home. In addition, the plastic is poisonous for you and the environment and leaves microplastics in your floor.
Against this background, it is good that the original poster has decided to remove the astroturf first. Then they started planting real plants, including a lawn, crocuses, a bum line along the back fence and a wall of potted plants. They even installed a small pond.

Your latest photos show flowers bloom. “This is the latest update, jump in Bloom,” they said. “I had around 150 crocuses, the rear fence grew over 100 spring pears, and now the pond is in full bloom.
“The trees on their backs that have caused controversy become great and should offer us privacy by summer and great privacy until summer.”
They noticed how the flowers now put on pollinators: “It is chaotic, it is not for some, but it is for the animals, beetles and bees.”
“Absolutely massive improvement!” said a commentator. “Well done.”
