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.

Living in a state that boasts frequent hurricanes creates yet another conflict when attempting to establish and maintain lawns. Truly, it has been a wasteful and vain endeavor, as all fill dirt and sod will surely be washed away each and every time a hurricane comes through. Even the wealthiest homeowners understand the flagrant waste of fresh water that a lawn represents.

Golf clubs and indoor sporting venues created a demand for better artificial sod. Now these products are available to the average homeowner, so anyone living in states with sand rather than dirt can have what appears to be a healthy lawn to enjoy. It looks and feels very much like the real thing, and it can be tapped down, or simply rolled up and stored when the storms are anticipated.

Many people and pets have allergies to traditional grasses, and faux turf is a healthier option. These products are generally free of toxins or lead dye, so they are a perfect alternative for play areas and pet runs. These products are not only very affordable, but they are safe for the environment and represent no establishment of a non-indigenous plant species.

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.

The elderly among us can see an even greater benefit than children when it comes to the safety an artificial ground cover provides. Level, soft areas for walking are extremely important in nursing homes and facilities that assist the elderly. Concrete has never been the best option for those who walk several miles a day, so college campuses can also reap the rewards of 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.

In order to truly enjoy the benefits of this product, the property owner is encouraged to hire a professional to install the turf. The first step is removal of at least two feet of sod, soil, and rocks, and the final step involves adhering the turf to the medium with an adhesive. Professional installation is the best way to ensure that all these steps are taken, and the artificial landscape is going to last.
