A Guide To Selecting Florida Fake Grass

By Stephen Thompson


A lush green lawn is attractive and the perfect setting for spending time outdoors or playing. However, maintaining natural lawns in pristine condition requires regular mowing, weeding, and irrigation. This can take a significant amount of time and effort, especially if the quality of the soil is poor. This is the reason why many property owners in Florida are opting for artificial grass, also known as synthetic turf. It is a low maintenance alternative for commercial and residential properties.

Property owners need to select the most appropriate synthetic turf for their property. The best turf can be maintained with ease. Such turf will also remain attractive for several years. Property owners should consider various things when choosing Florida fake grass.

One of the factors to consider is how and where you plan to use the artificial turf. The turf can be installed in small lawns and playing surfaces on cricket pitches, bowling greens, and tennis courts. If you are planning to install it in areas that experience heavy foot traffic, then look for durable synthetic turf. If you are installing it on a lawn, you can choose the artificial turf that is more realistic-looking and softer.

Property owners should also consider the size of the space, in which they want to install the synthetic turf. The amount of turf to buy and how long it will take to install it will be determined by the size of the space. The size will also determine the amount of money one will spend on the turf. Property owners whose budgets are limited and wish to cover a huge area can go for more affordable products that can bring about an appealing finish.

Another thing to consider is the quality of the artificial turf. High-quality turf is soft to touch, is backed evenly and has a consistent color as wells as well-stitched tufts. High-quality turf will also be costlier than the others. However, since this is a long-term investment, it is better to purchase the best turf.

The other thing to consider is how tall the turf is. If you want the lawn to look lush, you may be thinking of selecting synthetic turf with a higher pile height. However, the longer the grass blades are, the heavier they will be. Heavier blades bend faster due to the gravitational pull, making the lawn look flat as time goes. Therefore, to keep your lawn looking natural, choose the turf that has a pile height of thirty to thirty-seven millimeters.

Another factor to consider is backing and infill. Fake grass is designed to be infilled so that it can continue appearing lush and feeling springy. The popular infill materials are sand and rubber crumb. You can choose either based on your preferences and budget. Artificial turf has a backing which is either latex or polyurethane. Polyurethane does not expand or contract while latex can expand or shrink by 5 to 10 millimeters.

Synthetic turf is available in various shades of green such as olive green, dark green, and lime green among others. The less expensive synthetic turf is available in single flat shades of green and one can easily distinguish it from natural grass. Property owners should not purchase perfectly green turfs. The turf that has some brown flecks and different shades of green appears more like real grass.
