All About Artificial Grass Florida Keys

By Carol Smith


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.

The beauty of installing turf around your home is that it does not require any maintenance, so it will save you a lot of money. Furthermore, it looks great all year round. Most turf products have fibers that are 2-4 inches long, depending on application. The colors of the fibers are usually fade free, so your outdoor space will look great all year round.

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.

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.

Fifteen feet is the standard width for most turf products. This means that if your yard is large, several pieces of the material must be joined to create one continuous piece. The job is best done by a professional who knows what they are doing. You should not take a DIY approach since turf is costly and you do not want to destroy the material.

Hiring a great installer is the key to properly installing artificial turf. The job is usually handled by landscaping firms that have been licensed to do the job. Since you want value for money, you should choose to work with experienced contractors. For this reason, you should check the number of turf installation jobs the firm has handled in the past before making a decision.

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.

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.
