Thinking of Installing Artificial Grass or Turf?
Here's What You Need to Know
Are you tired of the endless cycle of mowing, watering, and maintaining a natural grass lawn? Artificial grass and turf may be the perfect solution for you! More and more homeowners are making the switch to these low-maintenance, drought-resistant options. As an experienced contractor, I'm here to explain the benefits and process of installing artificial turf.
The Advantages of Artificial Grass & Turf
- Low Maintenance - No more mowing, watering, fertilizing or weeding! Artificial lawns stay lush and green all year long.
- Water Conservation - With no need for irrigation, turf can reduce your water usage by thousands of gallons per year.
- Kid & Pet Friendly - The soft blades are gentle underfoot, and turf drains quickly with antimicrobial properties.
- Long Lasting - When installed correctly, artificial grass can last 15-20 years or more without fading or flattening.
The Installation Process
- Site Preparation - The existing grass and vegetation is removed, and the area is graded for proper drainage.
- Base Layer - A compacted base of crushed rock or decomposed granite is installed for stability and drainage.
- Turf Placement - The rolls of artificial grass are carefully laid out and secured with special turf nails.
- Fill Turf - We'll fill the turf with a silica sand infill to weight down the blades and create a plush feel.
- Secure Edges - Sturdy bender boards or adhesive nail strips are used to create clean edges.
