Share on :

The easiest way to transform an outdoor space is to establish a lawn. Unfortunately, plants need a lot of water to grow. They also need nutrients and a great environment to thrive. As it grows, the lawn will need to be mowed, further increasing the maintenance cost. When exposed to intense sunlight, the lawn can get discolored and lose its original appeal. A great alternative is 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 do not require any soil, sunlight or water, so they can be installed anywhere. For instance, they can be installed on balconies, around the dog house as well as around the swimming pool. If there are brown patches around the yard, where grass has refused to grow, turf can be installed.

Installation usually starts with clearing and leveling of the ground followed by laying of small pieces of rocks to form the base. The area is then compacted and leveled to create a hard flat surface. The turf is then laid and secured to the base using long corrosion resistant needles.

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.

The key to proper installation lies in hiring the right installer. There are many landscaping firms that can handle the job, but you should pick a licensed landscaping contractor with a permit to install turf. The number of years the contractor has been in business is a key factor of consideration, so you need to identify and hire the most experienced contractor.

The reputation of a contractor can tell you everything you need to know about their quality of service and customer experience. In that regard, reviews can be incredibly helpful. Be sure to visit different review websites to read reviews because some sites may have biased reviews. If previous clients have posted credible negative reviews on a variety of sites, including the BBB, you should avoid that contractor and find a better one.

In every project, there must be a budget, which you do not want to exceed. Since different landscapers charge different rates for their services and turf products, you should obtain quotes from different firms for the two items. Obviously, you should give priority to the most affordable firm that meets all the other requirements. Be sure to give quality of service priority over pricing.
