Keeping It Green With Synthetic Grass Florida

By Anna Lewis


Neighbors throughout the country have historically been in competition to see who can maintain the best lawn on their block. Floridians are no exception, even though the demands to create such greenery are high. However, rather than incurring the expense of fill dirt and the high-maintenance upkeep of fresh water, synthetic grass Florida allows them to be the envy of their neighbors for less.

More modest homeowners in this state have long-ago abandoned the notion of having a lawn to mow. Rather than wasting resources on plants that are not native to their region, they find ways to establish an attractive space that utilizes locally-grown plants, and allows the sand to remain. This has always been a sensible option in an area that is frequently ravaged by hurricanes.

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.

People throughout the country are taking notice of these products. Faux turf allows any homeowner to have a beautiful area of greenery without the risks involved in bringing foreign plants into a region. Additionally, they are non-toxic and make an excellent option for people who have dogs or small children who are allergic to grasses or pollen.

Creating soft and safe play places for children is an important aspect of this product. Play places made with faux turf are level and have fewer areas where children can trip and fall. It is more environmentally friendly than the shredded rubber or mulch that playgrounds are known for.

Elderly homes and assisted living facilities benefit from these products just as schools and churches do. If installed properly, they provide a level walking space for people to navigate safely. Not only that, but turf is much softer than concrete, so college campuses and other areas that traditionally use concrete walkways can be made more safe with artificial turf.

County fairs and arts and craft celebrations can also benefit from this line of products. Many companies have artificial turf available to rent for gatherings of large groups. Not only does this create greenery in areas where lawns do not grow well, but it can help protect existing grasses from being damaged by the sudden movement of large numbers of people on foot.

Anyone considering installation of turf should seriously think about professional installation. The health and safety benefits can only be maximized if the ground cover is installed correctly. Correct installation requires the removal of at least two feet of soil, and the laying down of several layers of materials in a particular order, with the final step involving the turf itself being glued to the substrate.
