10 Reasons To Think Twice About Artificial Turf (From A Designer Who Has Used It)

 

Here are 10 things that might make you think twice about artificial turf:

  1. Price. I'm not going to bury the lede... there is a significant investment involved. A properly installed artificial lawn is more like your paver patio than your traditional lawn. Expect to pay $25-$35 a square foot. Yes, a 1000 square foot lawn will be over $25K. Note that this assumes your turf is installed properly. Most is not.

  2. Low maintenance, not NO maintenance. Yes, your required mowings will go from 40 per year to 0. However, it will need to be cleared of leaves and debris if you have trees nearby. And even if you don't, fake grass wants to be raked occasionally to look its best. There is no app for that, but we do provide a special rake with every installation. Get one here.

  3. Infill scares you. One of the final steps when installing a synthetic lawn is to apply "infill". This product filters down into the turf, weighing it down, making it look better and feel softer on your feet. But you don't live in a cave so you heard about the dangers of infill. The good news is that the "crumb rubber" infill that caused problems is no longer in use. We use a ceramic coated sand product that is totally safe.

  4. You have south facing windows.... that get full sun in the summer. This is a tough one. The sun may reflect off the windows and melt some of the turf! This situation is common enough that it is not covered by turf manufacturer's warranties. It is also common enough that we can usually design a way around it.

  5. The seams are the tough part. If more than one roll of turf is required for your lawn there will be a place where the rolls meet. (Just like carpet in a large room.) Matching these two and seaming them well is the hardest part of installing synthetic grass. This means you probably shouldn't DIY or be the first synthetic grass project your landscaper has ever done.

  6. It doesn't look like your old lawn. It looks better. And while a traditional lawn never looks better than it does shortly after installation, your synthetic lawn will look just as perfect in 5 years.

  7. Kids love it. This stuff begs to be played on, even in the winter. So if you don't want kids running around in your yard consider installing some really splintery bark dust instead. But if you want to let your future Timber play soccer year-round, synthetic lawn is what you need.

  8. Drainage. You do not want water to be sitting under your lawn for days. It will eventually cause problems with the base it is installed on. So, depending on the grade of your yard and how well your soil drains we may need to install some drainage underneath. A simple French drain with corrugated pipe leading to a dry well should do the trick.

  9. The color won't last forever (but what will?) The deep green of a syn-lawn is pretty hard to resist. But eventually that color will be begin to fade. The turf Ross NW Watergardens installs has a 10 year warranty on the color. So how long will the color last? Ask me in 20 years.

  10. Envy is bad for the neighborhood. Your perfect lawn (that requires no mowing, watering, fertilizing, aerating, dethatching, etc) is sure to catch the eye of your neighbors. Can they handle how much better your yard is?

YOU HELP KEEP OUR WATER CLEAN

 DRAINAGE BENEFITS  


Because the water is leaving just as fast as it’s dropping in, you prevent spore and bacteria growth, keeping your landscape safe for pets and kids. You also avoid muddy holes, puddles, and standing water which attracts a wide variety of bugs to your backyard. When it comes to your pets doing their business, the same benefits of drainage capabilities with rainfall apply as well. Pet urine drains through without leaving dead, brown spots on your perfect lawn. The other doggy business can be picked up and rinsed away quickly with no issues.   

Many homeowners don’t think about the adverse effects of rain when it comes to a natural lawn. If you’re using fertilizers, bug sprays, and other chemical substances to keep natural grass alive, keep in mind where those things go when it rains. All of those chemicals run off and can end up in places we don’t want them to be, including the ocean. When you install artificial grass, you’re keeping all the chemicals off the lawn and helping prevent water pollution every single day.

When it comes down to it, Ags turf believes in making artificial turf the best option for any home or business. We work hard to give our customers only the best turf products on the market, so you’re never concerned about flooding, bugs, pet urine, mud, or water pollution. Superior drainage will keep your home looking green, beautiful, and efficient all year long. If you’re interested in taking advantage of all these benefits, make sure to give our team a call. We would love to assist you in making the switch.    

ARTIFICIAL GRASS & FAST DRAINAGE

 In Southern California, we know the chance of rain is always a slim one. However, on occasions where the clouds do come out to play, many homeowners question how effective their artificial grass installation is going to be at draining the water. Here at Ags turf, we are always proud to say that we provide our customers with turf products that are not only designed to ensure zero flooding and fast drainage, but also protects against other liquids your artificial grass lawn might encounter.

DRAINAGE CAPABILITIES

It might be hard to believe, but our artificial grass products drain more water than a natural grass lawn. When it rains, water percolates through ½ centimeter holes in the backing and flows through the base layer, avoiding any overflowing. The backing of our turf drains at a rate of 30 inches of water per hour per square yard. You’ll have no issues with a flooded backyard in the off chance of a rogue Anaheim rainstorm.  

you’ve worked incredibly hard this year

 Honestly, you’ve worked incredibly hard this year, and you deserve a break. You deserve to enjoy the holiday season and every day after. With an artificial grass lawn, you won’t have to worry about mowing, fertilizing, or watering it, and guess what? It’s still going to be as green and luscious as the first day it was installed. There will be no discolorations, no dead spots, and no overgrown grass because your new lawn is low-maintenance. A low-maintenance lawn means you have more time to sip hot chocolate by the fire with your family.

Buying gifts can get expensive quickly. But with artificial grass, you can save money in the long run. You deserve to spend money on what matters. We all know that water doesn’t come cheap in Laguna Niguel, so why continue paying such a high water bill? Artificial grass eliminates the need for fertilizing and watering, which means you can finally say bye to that hefty water bill every month!

CHOOSING THE RIGHT ARTIFICIAL GRASS FOR YOUR FOOT TRAFFIC

 Many homes are now converting to artificial grass in Laguna Niguel due to its durability and natural appearance. Although artificial turf was once unsightly and unnatural in appearance, advancements in technology in recent years have made it possible for our synthetic turf products to be completely natural looking and even softer than real grass. However, levels of durability between turf products can vary, so it’s essential that you choose the right product for your expected level of foot traffic when installing artificial grass in your Laguna Niguel residence.

Outdoors, absorbed infrared sunlight is transformed into heat.

 Outdoors, absorbed infrared sunlight is transformed into heat. Conventional dark colors, like those in standard artificial turf, absorb infrared light, causing high heat buildup and raising surface temperatures. With heat-reflective dark colors, like those used in our TigerCool turf products, infrared light is reflected instead of absorbed, causing a decrease in heat buildup. In a series of solar panel tests, it was indicated that TigerCool technology successfully reduces turf temperatures by 15 percent and up to 10 degrees, making it safer and more comfortable for you and your family to enjoy your artificial grass in Laguna Niguel.


TigerCool is used throughout our Diamond series and Marquee series – two of our best-selling lines. Both offer products for a range of needs, covering light to heavy foot traffic. Pile heights range from 1.75 inches to 1.875 inches, and face weights vary from 60 ounces to 75 ounces. All of our products are safe for children and pet-friendly so that you can be worry-free all year long.

TIGERCOOL ARTIFICIAL TURF PRODUCTS

It’s getting warmer every day in Laguna Niguel, and soon the blistering summer heat will be out in full force. When the weather heats up, you want your backyard to provide an oasis where you can cool off and make the most of the sunshine. Whether it’s you, your kids, or your pets, no one wants to run around on grass that burns their feet. With our range of products featuring innovative TigerCool technology, you won’t ever have to worry about heat ruining your outdoor activities again.


Our TigerTurf products feature the latest innovations available for artificial turf, including first-of-its-kind TigerCool temperature-control technology. In early generations of poorly-produced artificial turf, the surface temperature of the synthetic grass could often exceed 175 degrees. Not only is this uncomfortable for you, but it’s unsafe for your children and pets.  


Through years of research and development, TigerTurf and Tencate have revolutionized the artificial turf industry. Tencate is a worldwide innovator of space-age yarns for companies such as NASA and Boeing. Utilizing their unique and advanced yarns, TigerTurf engineered a product with heat reflective color pigments and UV inhibitors that reduce surface temperatures by up to 15 percent!

However, levels of durability between turf products can vary, so it’s essential that you choose the right product for your expected level of foot traffic when installing artificial grass in your Laguna Niguel residence.

There are several components that determine a turf’s durability:

In our turf grass products, synthetic blades are tucked into a polyurethane backing that keeps the fibers intact. The most durable backings can resist thousands of pounds of resistance per square inch, making them optimal for high-traffic areas such as sports fields. There are two layers to the backing: the primary backing, where the blades are looped through, and the coating where the tuft bind is glued in. Tuft bind can withstand about ten pounds of force, on average, before monofilament will be removed from the backing. This is much more substantial and resistant than natural grass, which can be pulled out extremely easily, resulting in unattractive patches on your lawn.

REAL GRASS VS SYNTHETIC GRASS LAWNS

 If you want to make your Laguna Niguel home the envy of the neighborhood with a flawless front lawn that takes no effort to maintain, then switch from real grass to a synthetic grass lawn today. With Grizzly Turf artificial grass installation, you can completely transform your home and see a quick ROI, whether you’re planning to sell soon or just upgrade your forever home. Increase your property value, enhance its aesthetic appeal, and save hundreds on maintenance with a synthetic grass lawn from Grizzly Turf.


ENHANCED CURB APPEAL

Summer or winter, rain or shine, artificial grass remains lush and perfectly green all year long. The synthetic polyethylene material doesn’t require any maintenance in order to preserve its color, and it’s even created with UV inhibitors that prevent it from fading in the sun. Our synthetic turf products have dual-toned blades with brown thatch for an extremely natural appearance that will have all of your neighbors wondering how you maintain such a perfect lawn.

YOUR DOG WILL NEVER NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE

 Pet owners know for a fact that pests are the natural enemy of their furry friends. This is especially the case when dogs are playing on a natural grass lawn, as these lawns are a breeding ground for fleas, ticks, and countless other creatures. Synthetic grass lawns, including those installed by the experts at Grizzly Turf, are a perfect solution for getting rid of dangerous pests that can attach themselves to your dogs since artificial turf is virtually unsustainable for these creatures.


YOUR DOG WILL NEVER NOTICE THE DIFFERENCE

We love our dogs, but let’s face it; they aren’t always the brightest creatures, but we love them for it! This will actually work in your favor when switching to artificial turf. Artificial grass lawns have a color, texture, and shape that resembles natural grass enough for your dog to not notice that you’ve changed your lawn. Your companion will roll around the lawn, and you’ll rest easy knowing that your new synthetic turf can handle it and so much more!

3 REASONS WHY YOUR DOG WILL LOVE ARTIFICIAL TURF

 Dog owners everywhere can attest to how much they love their furry companions. It’s no secret that dogs are full of unconditional love and happiness, and they know nothing more than to enjoy life with their favorite people. However, dogs having an endless supply of joy also means that they have no sense of precaution, especially for your lawn. Natural grass can pose many risks to your dog’s health, which could result in the constant supervision of your dog. With an artificial turf lawn, pet hazards are a thing of the past. Here are three key reasons why your dog will thank you when you make the switch from natural grass to artificial grass on your lawn.


EASY TO MAINTAIN

The maintenance factor in switching to an artificial turf lawn is certainly a no-brainer; this is even more so when considering a synthetic grass lawn for your dogs. The bacteria and odor left behind by pet waste can cause significant damage to your natural grass lawn, even going as far as preventing future grass from growing! With an artificial turf lawn, pet waste damage is nonexistent, meaning that your furry friend can go out to frolic and take care of their business as much as they want without overwhelming you. Pet waste can simply be picked up and tossed away without worrying about any long-term effects. In addition, chemical treatments won’t be necessary to clean the affected area as most synthetic turf can be cleaned with soap and water. This will ensure maximum playtime for your dog with minimal effort afterward!

LISTEN TO PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS

 LISTEN TO PREVIOUS CUSTOMERS

If you’re on the fence about choosing an artificial turf installer, pay attention to their reviews. A good synthetic turf landscaping company like Grizzly Turf will publicly post their testimonials for all to see. In addition, checking out reviews on third-party review sites like Yelp or Google should give you sufficient information as to whether or not an installer is trustworthy. When all else fails, nothing beats good, old-fashioned word of mouth; talk to your friends and neighbors with artificial turf installations and listen to what they have to say. Take a look at their lawns and ask as many questions as you can!


GATHER ALL OF THE FACTS

As soon as you’ve narrowed down your search to the installers you really have your eye on, the next step is to get as much information as possible on each company. Here are some factors to look for:

HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT ARTIFICIAL TURF INSTALLATION COMPANY

 It’s no secret that installing artificial turf for your home or business is an investment that pays for itself. However, the quality of the investment is only as good as the team responsible for installing it. Of course, you’ll want to make sure that your artificial turf installer has the reputation and product knowledge to get your project done. Here are some practical tips to find the perfect artificial grass installer for your residential or commercial project.


DO YOUR RESEARCH

Before putting pen to paper on any project, make sure you have done sufficient research on your artificial turf company. Some factors to consider in your research include:


Company history – How long has the company been in business? How much experience does the company’s team have? Newer companies may have installers who know the fundamentals of synthetic grass installation but lack experience, resulting in subpar work. This is an important detail as you’ll want a synthetic grass installer with the experience to work on the complexities of your yard.

Endorsement – Is your installer supported by the company you’re buying your artificial turf from? Most synthetic turf suppliers will have vendors that are covered under their manufacturer’s warranty, and choosing a company that is not endorsed by the supplier could compromise that warranty. Grizzly Turf has a vast selection of synthetic grass products to choose from, each backed by a 15-year warranty, so you won’t have to worry about this issue with us!

KEEP TENSILE STRENGTH INTACT

 KEEP TENSILE STRENGTH INTACT

Every artificial turf lawn has a varying degree of tensile strength — the synthetic grass’ ability to handle wear and tear for the life of the turf. UV rays can break down untreated artificial grass’ tensile strength, making it more susceptible to breakage. This is especially true for sports turf or artificial turf putting greens. UV-treated synthetic turf is perfect for outdoor event venues, soccer fields, and playgrounds!


KEEP YOUR FAMILY SAFE WITH UV-TREATED SYNTHETIC TURF

Once untreated artificial turf breaks down from prolonged exposure to the sun, it will begin to stretch out and sag. This sagging creates wrinkles, which can pose a grave threat to the safety of your family and guests who visit your home and spend time on your artificial grass lawn. By protecting your turf from UV rays, you maintain your synthetic turf’s structural integrity and keep your family safe.


No matter the reason for wanting artificial turf for your home or business, you certainly cannot go wrong with UV-stabilized synthetic turf, such as the products installed by the experts at Grizzly Turf. Our Diamond Light Fescue, Diamond Light Spring, Diamond Pro Spring, and Diamond Pro Fescue turf styles are each built with TigerCool technology, made with heat-reflective color pigments and advanced UV inhibitors that reduce the surface temperature of the artificial turf in your home or business. Additionally, our team of artificial grass installers works tirelessly to ensure a synthetic turf lawn that is beautiful, functional, and weather-resistant. Our UV-resistant artificial grass products, along with the rest of our lineup of world-class synthetic turf products, are backed by a 15-year warranty, granting you the peace of mind you deserve.

TIPS FOR INSTALLING ARTIFICIAL GRASS PUTTING GREENS IN SMALL SPACES

 Private putting greens have increased in popularity amongst property owners over recent years. However, it may seem impossible for homeowners with small yards to have their personal putting green due to a lack of space. 

Fortunately, this isn’t true, thanks to artificial grass. Artificial turf allows homeowners to have their own artificial grass putting green, no matter their yard’s size. 

Installing a synthetic grass putting green with limited space will require some creativity. Here are some ideas you can discuss with your artificial grass installer for your installation project. 

USE YOUR ENTIRE YARD

For the most immersive golfing experience, you can choose to use your entire yard for your artificial grass putting green. You would be maximizing your yard space and providing yourself with a fun challenge that will improve your putting game. 

CONNECT YOUR OUTDOOR SPACES

Homeowners with various unused outdoor spaces can come up with a synthetic grass putting green design that incorporates them all together. It can make for an unconventional golfing experience that resembles what you would find at a mini-golf course.  

A POOLSIDE PUTTING GREEN

Why not spice up your poolside area with an artificial turf putting green? It would give your pool area a unique aesthetic and provide you with something to do when you’re not relaxing in your swimming pool. 

As synthetic turf features excellent drainage, you will never have to worry about any slippage issues if water does get onto your artificial putting green. 

A high-quality infill can contribute to a synthetic turf

 A high-quality infill can contribute to a synthetic turf’s drainage efficiency helping facilitate seamless water flow throughout a surface. This will keep your artificial grass putting green dry and the ball speed consistent. 

POSITIONING

If not correctly installed, an artificial turf putting green can shift and change positioning when there is heavy wind or extreme heat. This can ruin your golfing experience and compromise the structural integrity of your putting green, drastically shortening its lifespan. 

Infill can be used to weigh down and secure your turf, preventing any movement from occurring no matter what the conditions are like. This will prevent your surface from wrinkling and allow your synthetic grass to remain smooth and consistent. 

CLEANLINESS

One of the many benefits of artificial grass putting greens is their cleanliness. While natural grass can be prone to mold and mildew growth when exposed to water, synthetic turf doesn’t suffer from this issue because of its hygienic properties and infill, which adds further bacterial protection. You’ll never have to worry about mold or bacteria staining your putting green and getting in the way of playing the game you love.  


4 IMPORTANT WAYS THAT INFILL AFFECTS ARTIFICIAL GRASS PUTTING GREEN INSTALLATION

 Golf enthusiasts can bring their passion home by adding an artificial grass putting green. Having a personal putting green will provide you with endless entertainment and allow you to practice your game whenever you want. 


Here at Grizzly Turf, we offer a wide selection of world-class artificial turf putting green products to fulfill any need. Our synthetic grass products are the best in the business and perfectly replicate the look and feel of a professional putting green.


We back up our exceptional products with an elite team of artificial grass installers who can implement any design that you can imagine. Our synthetic grass installers regularly execute successful putting green installations, thanks to our attention to detail. 


We make sure to get everything right, especially crucial aspects, right down to your infill. While several factors determine the success of a synthetic grass putting green installation, few affect your synthetic grass installation as much as the infill.  


BALL ROLL

Those who want an authentic and realistic golfing experience will need a synthetic grass putting green surface with short, upright turf blades that are densely packed. A putting green with flat turf fibers will have an unrealistic ball roll and be less enjoyable for golfers. 


A well-distributed infill helps ensure that your artificial turf blades remain straight and upright to allow for smooth ball roll whenever you’re practicing your putting game. 


BALL SPEED 

Rain can disrupt your putting green experience by wetting your surface and inhibiting ball speed. An artificial grass putting green can prevent this with excellent drainage that stops any excessive water buildup from occurring.

SYNTHETIC TURF CAN PERFECTLY HANDLE HEAVY USE

 That’s why artificial grass is the best surface to use for public spaces, as it is hygienic and doesn’t need nearly the same level of maintenance, allowing you to save substantial time and money. With increased savings from reduced maintenance costs, companies can afford to spend their money elsewhere to help improve their overall efficiency.  


SYNTHETIC TURF CAN PERFECTLY HANDLE HEAVY USE

Busy businesses and commercial properties whose public spaces see lots of foot traffic need a surface capable of handling such heavy activity. Not having a surface durable enough for extensive use can lead to performance issues involving your public space and even disrupt your daily business operations. 


Durability is never a concern with artificial turf, the most resilient landscaping option available to commercial property owners. Artificial grass is as tough as they come and can deal with heavy foot traffic without suffering any performance dropoffs. 

5 REASONS ARTIFICIAL GRASS INSTALLATION MAKES SENSE FOR YOUR PUBLIC SPACE

 Artificial grass’s increasing popularity is the result of not just its world-class quality but also its versatility. Synthetic grass can be implemented anywhere for stunning results and will always visually and functionally enhance whatever area it’s placed. That’s why many businesses, restaurants and commercial properties choose to install artificial grass in their public spaces.


More than any other surface, synthetic turf makes overseeing a public space a smoother and more manageable endeavor for commercial property owners. 


ARTIFICIAL GRASS REDUCES MAINTENANCE COSTS

As many commercial property owners can attest, maintaining a sizable public outdoor space isn’t cheap, especially when it uses a natural grass surface. Natural grass is particularly costly to manage because it requires regular watering, mowing and fertilizing to preserve its appearance and functionality. These demands are time-consuming and expensive for any business. 

The materials that make up your artificial grass should be of the highest quality and feature incredible durability.

 USAGE OF DURABLE MATERIAL

The materials that make up your artificial grass should be of the highest quality and feature incredible durability. That’s because the longest-lasting and most durable synthetic grass is usually made from sturdy materials like nylon and polyethylene. These materials hold up no matter what they’re up against, whether it’s extreme weather or extensive usage, allowing your surface to continue functioning as intended.  


THE INFILL 

An essential aspect of any synthetic grass surface is its infill. The optimal infill will keep the turf blades upright and enhance the resiliency of the artificial grass. There are countless infill options, and the ideal choice for you depends on the characteristics you value most and your intended use for your surface. 


We can say that many high-quality synthetic grass products feature an antimicrobial infill that helps prevent the growth of bacteria, mold and mildew, preserving the structural integrity of the surface and ensuring a safe environment for those who use it. 


INSTALLATION QUALITY

Installation quality is pivotal to the success of any artificial turf surface. Long-lasting, durable synthetic turf is nearly impossible to achieve with an improper installation that leaves you with a surface in need of immediate repairs and with poor drainage, all factors that can threaten the lifespan of your artificial grass. Take zero chances with your artificial grass installation by hiring a professional installer to ensure a world-class surface built to last for many years without issue.

Artificial Grass: Endless Possibilities for Diverse Applications

 Artificial grass has become a popular choice for homeowners, but its versatility extends far beyond residential lawns. From sports fields to commercial landscapes and outdoor play areas, synthetic turf offers endless possibilities for a variety of applications. In this article, we will explore the wide range of places where artificial grass can be used and highlight its impressive durability and minimal maintenance requirements.


Impressive Durability and Minimal Maintenance:

Artificial grass is designed to withstand heavy use and adverse weather conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance. Its low maintenance requirements make it a practical choice for both residential and commercial projects. Occasional brooming helps to maintain its upright appearance, while debris can be easily removed with a leaf blower or by hand. With proper drainage systems, artificial grass allows water to drain vertically, similar to natural grass.


Endless Possibilities:

Today’s synthetic grass products offer impressive realism, durability, and eco-friendly features. Their versatility and adaptability make them suitable for various applications, enhancing the aesthetics and functionality of any space. The cost savings on water bills and lawn maintenance make artificial grass a smart long-term investment that pays for itself over time. Explore the endless possibilities of artificial grass and create stunning, low-maintenance outdoor areas that elevate the beauty and convenience of your surroundings.

Is the Shock Pad Mandatory?

While not mandatory for playground artificial grass, a shock pad is highly recommended, especially when higher safety protection requirements or strict drop test certifications need to be met. Although appropriate infill and pile height/density provide some resilience, a shock pad further enhances safety measures.

Conclusion:

Incorporating a shock pad underneath artificial grass in kids’ play areas is essential for enhancing safety and maximizing enjoyment. The impact absorption and cushioning properties of the shock pad significantly reduce the risk of fall-related injuries, ensuring peace of mind for parents and caretakers. By investing in a shock pad, you create a secure and fun-filled space where children can freely and safely explore. Prioritize the safety of your play area by incorporating a shock pad and provide children with an environment that promotes their well-being and enjoyment.

Applying Shock Pad Underneath Artificial Grass for Kids’ Play Areas

 Ensuring the safety of children is paramount when designing play areas. A shock pad, placed beneath artificial grass, plays a vital role in reducing the risk of fall-related injuries. In this article, we will explore the benefits of utilizing a shock pad, including impact absorption, cushioning and comfort, consistent play surface, and improved drainage. Discover why incorporating a shock pad is crucial for meeting higher safety protection requirements and creating a secure and enjoyable environment for children.

Benefits of Using a Shock Pad:

  1. Impact Absorption: A shock pad effectively disperses the energy from falls, minimizing the force transmitted to a child’s body and preventing serious injuries.

  2. Cushioning and Comfort: The additional layer of a shock pad enhances the play area’s comfort, creating a softer surface that reduces the likelihood of bumps, scrapes, and bruises.

  3. Consistent Surface: By installing a shock pad, you ensure a level and consistent play area, eliminating unevenness and tripping hazards, and maintaining a smooth surface for children to play on.

  4. Improved Drainage: The inclusion of a shock pad enhances the drainage capabilities of the play area, facilitating efficient water flow and faster drying times.

Turf is Far better for the Environment

 Artificial sports surfaces do not require regular watering. A standard size playing field can need up to one million gallons of water a year to maintain. Installing artificial grass will save the community thousands in water bills. Artificial surfaces do not need to be mowed or fertilized, reducing the amount of oil used in their maintenance. They do not need any pesticides that are equally bad for the environment. And to top it off artificial grass these days incorporate recycled products, reducing the amount of waste in our landfills.

Synthetic Grass Isn’t an Eyesore in Winter and Spring

 Artificial sports turf stays looking fresh and green all year round, unlike natural playing surfaces. It is impossible to maintain a natural grass field in the face of overuse and poor weather. Establishing and maintaining a natural turf requires far more care and attention. Natural grass that is used regularly is challenging to maintain in prime condition. Depending on the season, a grass field needs hours of professional maintenance every week. However, none of these issues exists with synthetic sports turfs. In fact, artificial sports turf is ready for use immediately after installation. With virtually no effort to maintain.

Sports Turf is More Practical

 Every community wants a safe and accessible playing surface for all the people of the city to enjoy, the young and the old. Providing a secure and resilient surface all year round has fast become a priority for many sporting groups. Given the unpredictable nature of weather these days, maintaining a perfectly safe playing surface has become increasingly difficult, if not impossible at some times of the year. Natural grass is subject to disease, and the turf underneath can easily be damaged after heavy rainfall, resulting in bare patches and uneven spots on the surface. These all contribute to a hazardous playing surface for anyone choosing to use it. This can all be avoided by installing synthetic grass.

Artificial Grass: Where and Why

 Artificial grass is more than what you see professional athletes run around on during a football, baseball, or soccer game. While the first practical application was for a school recreation area, the usefulness and ubiquity of synthetic turf have exploded the last 50 years in a manner its creators may never have imagined.

Artificial Turf: A Brief History

A long time ago – okay, the early 1960s – in a galaxy far, far away – not, ours, in a research lab in the United States state of North Carolina, researchers in lab coats and protective goggles got together and wondered how they could make tougher grass. Eventually, they pooled their collective intelligence and decided the solution was not simply greener grass, but a different kind of turf altogether. Tougher, stronger, and maybe even something that was not green. They decided on artificial grass, realizing that a turf made of plastic would be more durable, easier to maintain, and could be put down in areas that real grass would never grow.

By the mid-1960s, their hard work paid off as synthetic turf began popping up on recreation fields across the United States. Indoor and outdoor, not only for professional athletes but children entertaining themselves on school and community playgrounds.

Can Artificial Grass Be Repaired

 A common question that prospective buyers ask when considering artificial grass is, “Can it be repaired?” Synthetic turf is very durable and long-lasting, but that does not mean it is indestructible. It is conceivable that spots can wear out from excessive use, from a sharp object piercing it through to the backing, from a heavy object sitting in one spot for a long time, from an animal digging orbiting it, or any other number of scenarios.

If your backyard has a significant amount of fake turf that is damaged, it is probably a good idea to call in a professional to examine the affected area and help you make an informed decision. There is nothing wrong with getting help for a large job. In this case, a full-scale replacement may be in order.
If you have a small section that is damaged, the best choice is to cut out the bad part and replace it with a new section. To do so, follow these steps:

  1. First, put on heavy work gloves.
  2. Using a utility knife with a sharp blade, gently begin cutting out the damaged area all the way through to the weed barrier beneath. Cut out a larger section than what has been damaged, as this will give you room to work.
  3. Cut a new piece to fit the section of artificial grass that was removed.
  4. Apply adhesive to the back of the new piece of artificial turf and press it firmly into the opening where the bad section was removed from.
  5. Let it cure.
    When repairing artificial turf, the biggest stumbling block is finding a matching piece. Getting the shade of green to will be challenging. If you cannot locate an exact match, find the next closest color that you feel comfortable with.

What are some types of damage to avoid? Cigarette burns, hot coals from a charcoal barbecue, punctures from sharp tools, and sunlight filtered through glass directly onto the surface of the artificial grass – though that applies to fake turf that has been installed inside, near a window.

Artificial Grass Installation on a Deck

 With homeowners staying in their residences longer and seeking to get the most value from what they have, many choose outdoor improvement projects to expand usable green space for eating, relaxing evenings, or gatherings with family and friends. One of the most popular outdoor improvements is adding or refurbishing a wooden deck.

If you have a wooden deck and have grown weary of the faded color of the planks or are sick of stripping and refinishing it every few years, topping it with lush, durable, artificial lawn is a great option. Synthetic turf can be laid on a wood deck – here is what you need, and the steps to follow to make it happen.

  • Supplies and tools: Deck cleaner, garden hose, scrub brush, pump sprayer, artificial turf, utility knife and spare blades, synthetic grass adhesive suitable for the outdoor application, turf seam sealer, notched trowel, measuring tape, work gloves, lawn roller.Like building the deck itself, installing it on wood takes a bit of preparation. In advance of laying the artificial grass, you must do the following:
  • Clear off the deck, removing all furniture and other objects.
  • Use a garden hose to wet the deck.
  • Follow a 1-to-1 ratio and mix water and deck cleaner in a pump sprayer. Once the sprayer has been pressurized, spray the deck liberally and allow the cleaner to seep into the wood.
  • Use a scrub brush to clean the deck, and spray extra cleaner as necessary. Tip: Do not use a brush with steel bristles, as this will damage the wood surface.

Rinse the deck, making sure all the cleaner has been removed. Repeat as necessary but wait 48 hours before installing the artificial turf. Warning: the deck must be dry beforehand, so the weather conditions must be optimal.

With the deck dry and clear skies above, it is time for the installation of your new artificial grass. Here is what you must do:

  1. Artificial turf needs time to “cure” before being installed, so be sure to unroll it and let is lay on a flat surface for at least an hour.
  2. Using a tape measure, record the dimensions of the deck where the turf will be installed, but an extra 2 inches to all sides. Then, use a utility knife with a good, sharp blade to cut the fake grass to match these dimensions.
  3. Before laying the turf, you must first apply a synthetic grass-friendly glue onto the deck beginning at the back end of the area to be covered. A notched trowel is suggested and should be used at a 45-degree angle while applying the adhesive.
  4. As you lay the first piece of synthetic lawn, make sure it overhangs the deck edge the full 2 inches. Press the turf into the glue.
  5. Follow step 3 if you need to add more adhesive for additional sections of turf, and be sure the seams between each section butt into one another. At this point, it is recommended using a special sealer for the seam between the sections.
  6. Once you have laid all the turf needed, you can begin cutting off the extra 2 inches along the edging.
  7. The fake grass needs to set for 24 hours before the deck can be used, but use a heavy roller to ensure the turf backing is compressed into the adhesive.

Other Factors That Affect Cost

 Your artificial grass material type won’t be the only item affecting your total project spending. Your synthetic turf’s quality will vary depending on its brand and blade shape, leading to higher costs. Need to install grass in a large area? Get out your checkbook or credit card. 

Factors that affect artificial grass cost include: 

Brand: Some manufacturers sell higher quality turfs than others.

Blade Shape: Some blade shapes are more durable and heat-resistant than others.

Area Size: More square footage means paying more for materials and labor. 

Area Shape: Curved areas can make the installation process more difficult. 

Area Location: Costs will vary depending on where you want to install the turf, such as the backyard or rooftop. 

Brand

When shopping around for your artificial grass, you’ll notice that there are many brands to choose from. 

Prices will vary among different manufacturers of artificial grass. Brands selling high-quality turf will typically charge more than brands selling lower-quality turf. Below you’ll find different artificial turf brands and their average turf prices. 

Blade shape

Artificial turf blades come in many shapes. Blade shape can determine how natural the turf looks, how durable it is, and how well it can stand up against high temperatures. Your total spending costs may vary depending on the turf’s blade shape. 

an artificial lawn that looks like the real thing

 If you want an artificial lawn that looks like the real thing, consider an artificial turf made of polyethylene. Polyethylene looks more natural and has a softer texture than nylon and polypropylene. Polyethylene turf also can withstand foot traffic and heat much better than polypropylene. 


Polyethylene turf costs range between $2.55 to $3.85 per square foot. This artificial grass also has good drainage and is non-absorbent, making it an excellent choice for homeowners with pets. 


Pros: 


✓ It looks like real grass

✓ It has a softer texture than nylon and polyethylene

✓ It is more durable than polypropylene

✓ Excellent turf for outdoor use

✓ It is non-absorbent and has good drainage, making it a great turf for pets


Cons: 


✗ Not as durable as nylon, though some high-quality polyethylene turfs can be almost just as durable

Nylon is the most durable of the three turf types and the most expensive. Prices often range between $5.05 to $$5.83 per square foot. Nylon turf can handle heavy-foot traffic, weight, and hot temperatures — and still retain its original appearance. 


Keep in mind that nylon’s durability can make it stiff. If you’re looking for a softer texture, polyethylene may be the better choice. Nylon is commonly used for sports fields or as putting greens. 

How Much Does Artificial Grass Cost?

The average cost to install artificial grass is $12.33 per square foot. Homeowners can expect a typical price range between $5.50 and $18.75 per square foot. These averages include the price for the materials and labor. 


Homeowners can expect to pay around $6,165 for artificial grass installation on a 500-square-foot lawn, or between $3,104 and $7,245. Note that the total cost will vary depending on the turf’s brand, your yard’s size, and the turf’s material type. 


Synthetic turf is low-maintenance. It requires no watering, fertilizer, or mowing, which can save you money in the long term. And unlike sod, artificial grass gives you a green lawn all year round.

An Environmentally Friendly Alternative For Your Artificial Turf

 At this point in the world's history there is much ado about global warming. Flooding in places where this was not experienced before have been recorded. And on the other hand, prolonged seasons without enough rain has resulted in huge losses to the agricultural sector. Many of us have experienced first-hand the wrath of Mother Nature. Most of these changes in the ecosystem are said to be man-made.


And because the future belongs to our children, we need to do our part in saving our world. Their world. NOW!


Just this century, the state of Texas has gone from severe drought to relief to extreme flooding to drought again in 2007-2008. It happened again in 2010, according to statistics compiled by Weather.com


The Drought Monitor analysis in the past 15 years shows that there was an unprecedented shift from drought to flood to drought again all within a span of about five months like what has occurred in 2015.


Given that widespread drought has affected many parts of the America, including Texas, we need to be more mindful every time we turn on the tap. A lot of water is used to water lawns in homes and commercial establishments. Behind every good landscaping and competition-worthy sports arena is a grass maintenance routine involving a lot of time and water.

here are different lengths of grass

 here are different lengths of grass, the countless cuts of grass that are available and you won't believe the different colors in the market. Light green, dark green, medium green with shades of brown, Light brown, dark brown and all the shades in between.


It may seem unimportant to the homeowner, but the cut of grass and the color or mix of colors of the grass blades has an impact on the overall look of your garden.


And because you have made a decision to do your part in saving our Earth, reward yourself with a beautiful lawn all year round.


Just be sure that your decision is a well-made one. After all these artificial grasses should last you a long time.

Key Components of Landscape Design: Hardscape and Softscape

 A successful landscape design harmoniously merges hardscape and softscape elements. Hardscape refers to the non-living, built components such as patios, retaining walls, outdoor kitchens, water features, and pathways. Softscape, on the other hand, represents the living components that breathe life into your landscape – trees, shrubs, flowers, grass, and more.

11 Landscape Design Tips for Beginners

 Picture this: a welcoming entranceway embraced by vibrant flower beds, a cobblestone pathway leading to a serene garden adorned with a stunning stone bench under the dappled shade of a majestic oak. This beautiful outdoor panorama isn’t a dream; it can be your reality with a comprehensive understanding of landscape design. As a beginner, taking the first steps towards crafting your unique outdoor space can be daunting, but the power to transform your garden lies in the fundamental principles of landscape design.

Combining aesthetics with functionality, landscape design enhances your outdoor space with harmony, balance, and visual interest. It goes beyond merely planting your favorite flowers or installing a patio, and delves into the relationship between your house and its surroundings. By understanding and applying basic principles such as proportion, transition, unity, rhythm, balance, and focalization, you can achieve a landscape that’s not only pleasing to the eye but also sustainable and comfortable to use.

Stuck Between a Rock and a Soft Place

 The key difference between artificial turf and hardscape is functionality. Yes, hardscaping can be beautiful to look at, but can it perform like an artificial grass lawn? No.
