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.

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.

Those who suffer from allergies to natural grasses are now able to roll down the hillside without suffering hay fever as a result. Pets do not have to worry about getting fleas, as such insects generally do not thrive in faux turf. These products are not toxic to people, and as a rule they are fairly benign to the environment where they are installed.

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.

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.

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.
