All About Artificial Turf Florida

By Rebecca Taylor


Having a lush green lawn that has been perfectly manicured is always great especially when you have a large outdoor space. However, it takes a lot of work to maintain a great lawn. To avoid all the work and costs, property owners may want to consider installing artificial turf Florida. Synthetic lawns do not require any sort of maintenance, so they are great to have around.

Grass is a living organism that needs a lot of things to grow. For one, it needs water. Secondly, it needs sunlight to make food. Thirdly, grass needs nutrients to thrive. This means that you must add fertilizer to the lawn, water it on a regular basis and ensure it gets sufficient sunlight several hours a day. This is a lot of work and it is not always possible.

Synthetic lawns look and feel the same way as natural lawns. However, synthetic grass lasts much longer and require no maintenance at all. The only maintenance requirement for synthetic grasses is picking of twigs and blowing of leaves. No water or fertilizer is needed. This means that you can save a lot of money in terms of reduced maintenance costs.

Weeds cannot grow on a synthetic lawn. This eliminates the need to carry out weeding. As a result, you will not need to use chemicals in weed control. In addition to saving you money, you will also be protecting the environment. This is because herbicides normally find their way into lakes and rivers, and cause poisoning.

The fibers on synthetic turf products come in a variety of lengths. However, the width is usually the same. The standard width is usually 15 feet, so if your yard is 45 feet wide, three pieces of the material will have to be sewn together to cover the entire surface. This is often done by professional landscapers.

When choosing the synthetic grass product, you must specify the length of the fibers. You do not want to have the wrong material installed in your garden. Fiber lengths usually range from two inches to four inches in length. When looking for a synthetic lawn for a single hole golf course in your home, you should choose the shortest fiber length.

Installation of the material starts with removal of grass and sod, as well as any other obstruction, from the surface. The ground is then leveled and compacted before the base is established. Next, crushed rocks are laid over the surface and compacted. The surface is then smoothed to create a stable base. Next, the material is laid over the base and stainless steel pins used to secure it to the base.

The cost of installation will differ from one installer to the next, so it is always a great idea to obtain quotes from a number of firms and compare them. Licensed installers with a lot of industry experience and the lowest quotes should always be given strong consideration. This is because they are able to offer greater value for money. The reputation of a firm should also be considered.
