As well as parking space proving to be popular, one in ten homeowners with outside space have replaced at least some of their garden’s natural lawn with artificial grass; a further 29% are considering making the swap. In contrast, 12% have replaced part or all of their garden with a wildflower meadow and 7% have turned their driveways into a planted garden.
