Create A Faux Lawn With Synthetic Grass Florida

By Anna Lewis


Having the best yard in the neighborhood has always been a friendly competition in most communities. For those who live in areas where there is sand rather than dirt, establishing extensive greenery is problematic, and expensive. However, by laying out synthetic grass Florida homeowners have the ability to enjoy a luxurious lawn without the expense of shipped-in dirt or the waste of watering.

More modest homeowners in this state have long-ago abandoned the notion of having a lawn to mow. Rather than wasting resources on plants that are not native to their region, they find ways to establish an attractive space that utilizes locally-grown plants, and allows the sand to remain. This has always been a sensible option in an area that is frequently ravaged by hurricanes.

Sport stadiums created a demand for better and better faux turf options during the 1990s when many indoor venues were built. The industry answered that demand, and now these products are available at prices that even a modest homeowner can consider. In many instances, it is much less expensive than sod, and it can be attached to the ground in such a way that storms might not wash it into the ocean every year.

Those who suffer from allergies to natural grasses are now able to roll down the hillside without suffering hay fever as a result. Pets do not have to worry about getting fleas, as such insects generally do not thrive in faux turf. These products are not toxic to people, and as a rule they are fairly benign to the environment where they are installed.

Playgrounds in the past twenty years have often been lined with rubber made from recycled tires. Hardwood mulch is another option that has often been used at schools and church play areas. These products were not as soft, often left bulges and uneven areas where children could fall, and the rubber contained dyes that were not always environmentally sound.

Elderly homes and assisted living facilities benefit from these products just as schools and churches do. If installed properly, they provide a level walking space for people to navigate safely. Not only that, but turf is much softer than concrete, so college campuses and other areas that traditionally use concrete walkways can be made more safe with artificial turf.

For temporary gatherings or sporting events, many companies will rent their product for a period of time. This can make the gathering area more pleasing to the eye, safer to navigate on foot, and when placed over existing lawns during a temporary gathering of people, it prevents the lawn areas from being damaged due to the sudden flood of people traversing the area.

Anyone considering installation of turf should seriously think about professional installation. The health and safety benefits can only be maximized if the ground cover is installed correctly. Correct installation requires the removal of at least two feet of soil, and the laying down of several layers of materials in a particular order, with the final step involving the turf itself being glued to the substrate.
