How To Install Artificial Turf Florida

By Rebecca Taylor


Having a lush green lawn that has been perfectly manicured is always great especially when you have a large outdoor space. However, it takes a lot of work to maintain a great lawn. To avoid all the work and costs, property owners may want to consider installing artificial turf Florida. Synthetic lawns do not require any sort of maintenance, so they are great to have around.

Grass, like all other living plants, require a lot of things to survive. Water, is the most important requirement. Plants also need food, which is created in the presence of sunlight and the required nutrients. This makes nutrients and fertilizers key requirements. This means that you must add fertilizers to the lawn and provide it with sufficient light, if sunlight is not available throughout the year.

Synthetic grass feels and looks like a well-manicured patch of grass. It lasts many years and does not require any maintenance. In fact, the only thing you need to do is pick twigs and blow leaves and other debris that may fall on the lawn. It does not require any water, fertilizers or sunlight to grow.

Weeds cannot grow on a synthetic lawn. This eliminates the need to carry out weeding. As a result, you will not need to use chemicals in weed control. In addition to saving you money, you will also be protecting the environment. This is because herbicides normally find their way into lakes and rivers, and cause poisoning.

The fibers on synthetic turf products come in a variety of lengths. However, the width is usually the same. The standard width is usually 15 feet, so if your yard is 45 feet wide, three pieces of the material will have to be sewn together to cover the entire surface. This is often done by professional landscapers.

When choosing the synthetic grass product, you must specify the length of the fibers. You do not want to have the wrong material installed in your garden. Fiber lengths usually range from two inches to four inches in length. When looking for a synthetic lawn for a single hole golf course in your home, you should choose the shortest fiber length.

Installation of the material starts with removal of grass and sod, as well as any other obstruction, from the surface. The ground is then leveled and compacted before the base is established. Next, crushed rocks are laid over the surface and compacted. The surface is then smoothed to create a stable base. Next, the material is laid over the base and stainless steel pins used to secure it to the base.

Installers normally charge different rates for their services. The installation cost can be divided into two main components, the cost of the material and the labor charge. When looking for a suitable installer, the experience, reputation and cost quoted by the company must be considered. Be sure to hire a licensed, insured and bonded landscaping company to do the job.
