Smart Homeowners Use Synthetic Grass Florida To Create Their Lawn

By Anna Lewis


Having the best yard in the neighborhood has always been a friendly competition in most communities. For those who live in areas where there is sand rather than dirt, establishing extensive greenery is problematic, and expensive. However, by laying out synthetic grass Florida homeowners have the ability to enjoy a luxurious lawn without the expense of shipped-in dirt or the waste of watering.

Keeping a lawn in such a zone represents the most vain of pursuits. Fresh water is not only precious but insanely expensive in an area that is not able to support many lakes or underground sources. In fact, the environmental movement created enough of a stir in the 1980s that many people were shamed into finding ways to create an attractive yard without drastically altering the environment.

The options available to people when it comes to their faux turf have expanded in recent years. As sports arenas and golf clubs have expanded, the technology involved in the creation of this turf has expanded as well. Now anyone can have a lawn that looks and feels like the real thing, but requires little or no maintenance, and can be tapped down rather than washing away in a storm.

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.

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.

Keeping elderly parents and grandparents safe from falls is just as vital a service as keeping children safe. As such, assisted living communities and nursing homes have a great need for the health and safety benefits of artificial turf. College campuses are another locale which should consider utilizing fake ground cover rather than natural landscapes.

For temporary gatherings or sporting events, many companies will rent their product for a period of time. This can make the gathering area more pleasing to the eye, safer to navigate on foot, and when placed over existing lawns during a temporary gathering of people, it prevents the lawn areas from being damaged due to the sudden flood of people traversing the area.

The full benefit of this medium can only be appreciated if it is installed correctly. Hiring a professional to perform this task is the only way to guarantee that the ground will be as level and safe as the product claims. Playgrounds and nursing facilities cannot boast regarding the safe, soft, and level walking areas unless a licensed professional has performed the installation.
