Artificial Grass Can Bring A Touch Of Paradise To Your Back Yard
Just imagine - you have a lawn that is beautifully kept and manicured
, only without the normal seasonal planting, or bills for watering, and totally void of uneven patches. Your yard looks absolutely perfect from end to end. No mowing, weeding, fertilizing, or maintaining. You can rest and enjoy. It's like having a touch of paradise right there at home. So you decide to get yourself some. But how can you tell the high quality stuff from the cheap imitations?One place to begin your investigation, is the ASTI, or the American Synthetic Turf Institute. They can help you out with names and recommendations of professional contractors. They understand that this type of investment is long term, and you want to get right. Any time you find a company with an ASTI certification, then you can rest assured you're on the right track. To get that certification, they have to really undergo some harsh scrutiny and prove high standards.
Once you have your list narrowed down, then it's time to check out the web-sites of your list. Look at how long they've been around, and see what kind of warranties they offer. If you see one that offers a ten year warranty, and they've only been doing business for three, then that could be a red flag. It's doesn't mean they aren't good, or they couldn't have gotten the ASTI certification, but it could be worth looking at some more.
Some of these overnight sensations for synthetic turf spring up from old landscaping companies, and are just trying their hand at it. And a company that doesn't really plan on being around very long, won't care about upholding any warranties.
Before you take the plunge and have your artificial lawn installed, find out all you can about the durability and upkeep of their product. If the grass is of high quality, then it should hold up in spite of severe weather and climate changes. It shouldn't fade from being frozen and then sun-drenched, and it should never collect water. Water will mildew and grow harmful fungi. These things can be health hazards and smell really bad. They will also draw a lot of bugs to that area. So check this out thoroughly before committing.
A good benefit of this turf is for practicing sports and for having pets. If your artificial grass is all it's supposed to be, this heavy traffic won't phase it at all. With pets, you simply scoop up then hose off. This turf should handle high traffic without any problems and maintain a great look. And it's safer for children. It can even handle playground equipment.
So you can see that the artificial grass is giving you some good benefits. First of all it is designed and made to be durable. It can withstand heavy use and raining. After years of installing artificial grass on your yard, youll still find that its good. Also no water and chemical need to be used for your lawn maintenance. Save youre a lot of works and money on long term.
All said and done, get a feel for your grass company's attitude toward you. You can tell when they have your best interests in mind. Because once it's down, you are the one that has to deal with it from there. It's an investment, but one that's worth making, if you find the right place to purchase. Ask questions about their technicians; see how much experience they have at putting this turf down. When done right, it should be no problem for you to call them up years down the line, and tell them everything still looks great.
