Installation Of Artificial Grass Florida

By Andrew Turner


There are may uses of synthetic turf. First, you can install it in your yard to act as a synthetic lawn. It can also be installed in a football pitch or golf course. Basically, it can be installed wherever a grass surface is needed. This type of lawn has a number of benefits that property owners should now of before making any decision on whether to install artificial grass Florida.

As the name suggests, synthetic lawns are made from artificial materials. The fibers look exactly like natural grass, and they are made to like carpets, so they have a backing. Some turf materials have fibers that come with UV resistance technology, so they are extremely durable. The beauty of these materials is their non-biodegradable nature.

Synthetic turf has a long lifespan. In fact, most manufacturers quote a life expectancy of nearly two decades with proper use. They back this up with warranties that are valid for nearly ten whole years. The best thing about synthetic turf is that they are pet and kid friendly as well as eco-friendly.

Synthetic lawns have a number of benefits over natural lawns. However, they are more expensive to install. The good news is that the installation cost can be recouped in less than 5 years. This can be achieved through savings on lawn maintenance. After all, synthetic turf does not require watering, fertilizers, weeding, pesticides, mowing or replacement every 3-5 years. Furthermore, they look great all year round regardless of the weather conditions.

The installation process, Florida residents should know, starts with clearing of the ground. The entire yard is cleared of any plants, top soil, tree stumps and rocks. The area is then leveled and compacted before the base is created. Pieces of crushed rocks are laid onto the surface and compacted to create a 4-inch thick base. The base is then smoothed before the turf material is laid. The material is then secure to the base with long corrosion resistant pins.

Synthetic turf does not require a lot of maintenance. For instance, you will only need to blow away leaves and any debris that might have fallen onto the turf. Be sure to also pick twigs and other larger pieces of debris that may fall onto the turf. Before you start playing on the turf, it may also be a great idea to sprinkle water to reduce friction burns.

When looking for an installer, the first thing you should check is whether or not they are licensed. Only licensed landscaping contractors should be hired. Secondly, be sure to compare quotes to ensure you get the most affordable service. Remember to also check if the contractor is insured and bonded before hiring them.

It is always recommended you hire experienced landscapers. This is because they know how to get the job done properly. They also have a good understanding of client needs. When you hire a newbie, you may end up disappointed with their services and spend more money on redoing the landscape to meet your needs and expectations. You should also ask landscapers to give you assurances to give you peace of mind.
