All About Artificial Grass Florida Keys

By Carol Smith


The easiest way to transform an outdoor space is to establish a lawn. Unfortunately, plants need a lot of water to grow. They also need nutrients and a great environment to thrive. As it grows, the lawn will need to be mowed, further increasing the maintenance cost. When exposed to intense sunlight, the lawn can get discolored and lose its original appeal. A great alternative is to install artificial grass Florida Keys.

The beauty of installing turf around your home is that it does not require any maintenance, so it will save you a lot of money. Furthermore, it looks great all year round. Most turf products have fibers that are 2-4 inches long, depending on application. The colors of the fibers are usually fade free, so your outdoor space will look great all year round.

Artificial lawns can be installed anywhere, including; around the pool, on the balcony as well as around the dog house among other places. If there is an area around a tree where natural grass has failed to grow, you can install synthetic turf around that area to ensure that your entire yard looks great.

Before turf can be installed, the entire area must be cleared of plants, rocks, tree stumps and any other object. The area must then be leveled and a base created with crushed rocks. The entire area must then be compressed and leveled to create a smooth but hard surface. That is when turf laying can start. The material is often secured to the base around the edges with long metallic pins.

There are many manufacturers of turf material. However, they all make turf in standard widths. The most common is 15 feet. This means that if your yard is 45 ft wide, three pieces will have to be sewn together to cover the entire surface.

The key to proper installation lies in hiring the right installer. There are many landscaping firms that can handle the job, but you should pick a licensed landscaping contractor with a permit to install turf. The number of years the contractor has been in business is a key factor of consideration, so you need to identify and hire the most experienced contractor.

The reputation of a contractor can tell you everything you need to know about their quality of service and customer experience. In that regard, reviews can be incredibly helpful. Be sure to visit different review websites to read reviews because some sites may have biased reviews. If previous clients have posted credible negative reviews on a variety of sites, including the BBB, you should avoid that contractor and find a better one.

You are obviously looking for a contractor whose services you can afford. Since you already have a budget, you should hire a firm that quotes a price that is within your financial reach. Ideally, you should ask all the shortlisted firms to provide their quotes so that you can compare them.
