When you hear the term "Fake Grass", you probably think of football stadiums. Yes, artificial turf is excellent for that purpose, but it also has many other residential and commercial applications. Swimming pool areas are favorite places for an expanse of fake grass. It's clean and always looks tidy. Natural grass lawns contribute clippings and lawn chemicals to a swimming pool. Artificial grass never does these things. If you live in a very sunny area, be advised that fake grass can get rather hot in direct sunlight, so you may want to install a patio umbrella or other source of shade. Fake grass is also excellent for pet areas.
Today's modern artificial turf is permeable, so animal waste may be hosed right through the turf. Again, remember that artificial turf can get hot in direct sunlight, so be sure to provide adequate shelter for your pets. When you think about it, the possible uses for fake grass are virtually unlimited. Fake grass is perfect for any sports surface from a personal putting green to a regulation soccer field. Fake grass looks as good or better than a natural grass field and lasts much, much longer. It is relatively easy to install and, with the proper type of substrate, will last for many years.
If you are considering fake grass for residential use, you may be worried that fake grass looks, well, fake. Actually, today's modern materials and construction techniques afford a turf that looks quite natural. The pile is longer and not every blade of "grass" is identical anymore. If you do your own installation, you will have to make certain the pile is situated in the proper direction, but it's not that difficult to do. Installation is a ten-step process. If you know how to read and follow directions and can use simple tools, you may be able to enlist the help of a few friends and have your fake grass installed in a weekend. If you're not terribly handy, go ahead and have your fake grass professionally installed. When you inquire about installation, be sure to ask for border materials with a warranty that lasts as long as the turf itself. Fake grass is ideal for so many purposes. Of course it makes a wonderful sports surface or front lawn, and it can also be utilized for rooftop patios, pet areas and children's play areas.
If you are environmentally conscious and want to go as "green" as you can with your landscape, there is nothing as effective as fake grass for that purpose. Eschew lawn chemicals forever and never waste water again. If you like the idea of Xeriscape but still love the look of a lush lawn, artificial turf may be the perfect way for you to go. Your fake grass will probably last twenty-five years, but when you're done with it, it is completely recyclable. Installing artificial turf may cost a bit more than putting in natural grass, but it will pay for itself again and again with the water costs and maintenance fees you will save.
