The world is going from genuine to artificial at a very alarming rate. One of the things being changed is normal grass to artificial sod. Natural grass is expensive and tedious to grow and maintain hence the rise in fake grass. With this change, turf installation Vancouver is experiencing booming business as more and more people want sods installed in their premises.

The first process should be to prepare the ground on which you want to install the turf. Clear it of any debris because a clear base is always vital for quality installations. Unleveled ground will make the grass to grow at uneven angles and spoil the overall look of it when complete. Simple hand tools like rakes help when leveling and clearing the ground.

Base filling is the next step after ground leveling and clearing. This means the complete product will have a desired height. Add crushed soil and or gravel to shallow grounds, and pack and rake it until smooth and compact. Ensure that you leave proper air spaces in the ground below to allow for proper air and water flow.

For maintaining the turf levels, one should remove a significant amount of top soil. Make sure not to leave any organic material below the turf to prevent uneven rotting. Lay weed mat right under the synthetic grass to stop seeds from falling and germinating in the soil. After you do this, trim your turf to fit your installation area.

Always seam your grass width-wise as you lay it. Doing it length-wise can prove difficult and can spoil its general look. There are synthetic grass companies in Vancouver that use sophisticated technologies for their grass to bond together. Using products from such companies may help in the overall look of the finished installation as the seams will be virtually impossible to see as compared to products bonded by glue. These bonds also last longer than ordinary bonding techniques.

Advantages of turf over natural grass are abundant. For instance, artificial grass is easier to maintain. This is because there is no need of hard labor and use of mechanical equipment. One requires a less amount of energy to maintain these lawns. There is also the issue of water saving, as these lawns do not require a lot of water to maintain them.

Durability is an important advantage of sods over natural grass. When stepped on, the grass starts to fade and die. Artificial lawns can be stepped and played on for a long time before showing signs of wearing out. They are also better in that during the hot seasons when there is little or no rainfall, they do not lose their color while natural grass turns brown and hard, hence requiring lots of water to make them come back to life. Due to its durability, pet owners can use it for play time.

In the world of sports today, athletes and sports corporations are embracing the use of turf on the fields. Natural grass is expensive to grow and maintain, and fields with natural grass may possess harmful things like rocks. Turfs are smoother and athletes do not mind falling on them since chances of getting injured are very minimal.
