All About Artificial Grass Florida Keys

By Carol Smith


If you have a large outdoor space around your home, the best way to improve its functionality and beauty is to establish a lawn. For best results, you should let a professional landscaper do it for you. While grass may look great, it requires a lot of maintenance. You have to buy fertilizers, irrigate it and mow the entire lawn on a regular basis. This can be incredibly costly. A cheaper and more convenient alternative would be to install artificial grass Florida Keys.

Artificial turf, or simply turf, is a maintenance-free ground covering the looks and feels exactly like natural grass. The latest turf products can last well over a decade and come with long-term warranties. Synthetic turf normally have fibers ranging from two to four inches long. They are also fade-free, so you can be assured that your outdoor space will look great for long.

Artificial lawns can be installed anywhere, including; around the pool, on the balcony as well as around the dog house among other places. If there is an area around a tree where natural grass has failed to grow, you can install synthetic turf around that area to ensure that your entire yard looks great.

Installing turf is a complex process and should not be taken as a DIY project. It requires clearing of the entire surface, leveling of the ground and creation of the base. Crushed pieces of rocks are normally laid on the surface, in layers, then compacted and leveled to create a hard, but flat surface for laying the turf. Once installed, long pins are normally used to secure the material to the base.

The standard width of turf products is usually around 15 feet, so several pieces may have to be sewn together to completely cover the target area. This is a job to be handled by a professional to ensure it is done properly. After all, turf is expensive and you want to get the best value for your money.

Picking the right installer is the key to proper installation of turf. For this reason, you should take your time to find the right installer for the material. Start by shortlisting licensed contractors who are qualified and authorized to do the job. Next, check the number of jobs the firm has handled as well as the number of years the firm has been in business.

When looking for a contractor, nothing matters more than their reputation. You want to hire an installer who has a track record of completing projects on time, within budget and according to specifications. You do not want to work with someone who drags their feet and cuts corners all the time to increase their profits. For this reason, you should check the BBB for reviews ratings and accreditation.

You are obviously looking for a contractor whose services you can afford. Since you already have a budget, you should hire a firm that quotes a price that is within your financial reach. Ideally, you should ask all the shortlisted firms to provide their quotes so that you can compare them.
