Synthetic Turf for Your Home
Artificial grass is on the rise, and we have seen a big demand for small to large installations this year. One of the most appealing aspects of installing synthetic turf is that you have the look and feel of natural grass and you get to have a beautiful lawn without the ongoing expenses of maintaining natural grass.
Here are a few common use of synthetic turf for your home.
Backyard Lawns
Homeowners want backyard lawns to enhance the visual appeal of their yards – just like front yard lawns; however, backyard lawns often serve additional purposes. For example, they are often play areas for children and pets and a hangout space for guests. This means that backyard lawns need to look good, but they also need to be durable and a comfortable place to spend time. Many or opting for the synthetic turf because they know their lawns will always look lush and inviting.
Synthetic Turf is Great for Dogs
There is no mud or ruts after rain, no wet blades of grass being tracked in the house, and no warm soil where fleas love to hang out. Additionally, it is easy to clean. One of the biggest reasons dog owners choose fake grass is that it provides a soft, grass-like surface where your dogs can play or lounge but does not get unsightly brown spots where your dogs urinate.
Backyard Play Areas
Synthetic grass is a great choice for play areas and offers a level, even surface. There is no mud or ruts after rain, and little feet will not track grass into the house. If you are concerned about the manufactured grass getting too hot under the sun, you can install your grass under a tree or use shade sails over the play area to reduce the amount of sunlight coming into the space.
Pool Decks
Landscaping around your pool with synthetic turf allows you to have the look and feel of a natural grass lawn without worrying about dirt getting in the pool, pool chemicals killing your lawn or wet feet picking up blades of grass to track into your house. Plus it looks great all year long.
Landscaped Walkways
Synthetic turf is often used in walkways – either alone or in combination with paving stones. The turf can handle heavy traffic, which makes it ideal for use in pathways leading to play areas, outdoor living areas, swimming pools or gardens.
Backyard Putting Greens
Residential putting greens are often seen with artificial grass, which provides an easy-care, level playing surface that is always ready for some practice swings. There is no need to wait days for the soil to dry after it rains and no worrying about tracking mud and grass into the house after practice.
