The growing trend of homeowners replacing natural lawns with artificial grass is threatening to turf out Britain's wildlife, experts warned today.
More and more people are installing fake lawns in their gardens because the quality of the product has improved so much in recent years it is often hard to tell the difference between natural and artificial grass.
The manufactured lawns now provide gardeners with an instant immaculate-looking plot that requires no mowing, watering or fertilizing.
But the increase in popularity in the pretend versions is posing a threat to the country's wildlife that relies on gardens as a valuable food source.
