A Guide To Selecting Florida Fake Grass

By Stephen Thompson


Lush green lawns are beautiful and ideal settings for playing or spending time outside. Nonetheless, it takes work such as regular weeding, mowing and watering to keep grass in the best condition. This involves effort and time, particularly in areas with poor quality soil. Therefore, many residents of Florida are choosing to install fake grass in their residential or commercial properties. It is also known as artificial turf and is easier to maintain.

Property owners need to select the most appropriate synthetic turf for their property. The best turf can be maintained with ease. Such turf will also remain attractive for several years. Property owners should consider various things when choosing Florida fake grass.

One vital to consider is usage. You can install artificial turf in a small lawn, tennis court, and bowling green among other surfaces. If you plan to install the turf in a location that many people will walk or play on, then select long-lasting synthetic turf. If you plan to install it on a lawn, you may select synthetic turf that is softer and looks more realistic.

Property owners should also consider the size of the space, in which they want to install the synthetic turf. The amount of turf to buy and how long it will take to install it will be determined by the size of the space. The size will also determine the amount of money one will spend on the turf. Property owners whose budgets are limited and wish to cover a huge area can go for more affordable products that can bring about an appealing finish.

It is also essential to consider the quality of the synthetic turf. The qualities to look or when buying the turf include stitched tufts, consistent color, even backing, and softness. The better quality turf is sold at a higher price. However, buying the best turf is advisable since you are making a long-term investment.

You should also think about the pile height of the turf. You may choose turf with a higher pile height if you want your lawn to appear lush. However, bear in mind that longer grass blades are heavier. These blades will bend due to the pull of gravity. Therefore, your lawn will appear flat over time. You can keep your lawn appearing natural by choosing synthetic turf whose pile height is 30 to 37 millimeters.

It is also important to consider the infill and backing. Artificial turf is infilled to ensure that it remains feeling springy and looking lush. The popular materials used to infill artificial turf are rubber crumb and sand. You can select any of these materials depending on your budget and preferences. Synthetic turf comes with a backing made of polyurethane or latex. Latex may shrink or expand by five to ten millimeters, but polyurethane does not contract or expand.

Synthetic turf is available in various shades of green such as olive green, dark green, and lime green among others. The less expensive synthetic turf is available in single flat shades of green and one can easily distinguish it from natural grass. Property owners should not purchase perfectly green turfs. The turf that has some brown flecks and different shades of green appears more like real grass.
