All About Installing Artificial Turf Florida

By Paul Olson


The appearance of a property can significantly be improved when a lush green lawn is installed. Whether you own a commercial or residential property, you can improve its appearance and monetary value by simply hiring a competent landscaper to install either a synthetic or natural lawn. When in need of artificial turf Florida residents should only consider hiring experienced installers.

The main benefit of a synthetic lawn is the low maintenance. In fact, these lawns do not need any type of maintenance as they do not grow. This makes them convenient as well as cost effective to have. If you are looking for a hassle-free lawn that looks great all year round, this type of lawn is for you.

Synthetic lawns normally come with a life expectancy of over 10 years. With proper care and little traffic, however, the lawn can last around two decades. Since natural lawns often require renovations every 3-5 years, a synthetic lawn can save you money through reduced replacement costs. The long term cost benefits of synthetic grass far outweigh the installation costs.

The installation cost of natural lawns is much lower than the cost of installing a synthetic lawn. This is because grass can grow and spread over the entire surface. With artificial grass, you have to buy the synthetic grass to cover every square inch of space where the grass needs to be installed. The cost of creating the base also increases the cost of installation further. Therefore, you need to prepare yourself to spend a considerable amount of money to get this type of lawn.

When installing artificial grass, the entire area where the grass will be installed must be prepared. Tree stumps, trees, rocks, natural grass and top soil must be removed. The ground is then compacted before pieces of crushed rocks are spread throughout the entire surface, compacted and smoothed to create a 4-inch base where the material will be installed. Once the turf has been laid on top of the base, stainless steel pins are used to secure it to the base.

Every major city in the state of Florida has dozens of qualified landscape installers. This means that the only way to find the best contractor for the job is to do a thorough comparison of their business, previous projects, reputation cost and experience among other things. Ideally, you should give top priority to experienced service providers with a great track record of installing synthetic lawns properly.

Installation costs usually depend on a variety of factors. For instance, the type of installer you choose will affect the cost. Ideally, you should give priority consideration to firms that quote the lowest costs for the project. However, you will need to confirm that the quote is inclusive of everything, including taxes and insurance premiums among other things.

Every landscape installer has a portfolio showcasing the quality of work they normally do. If you would like to know more about the quality of service a company normally offers, all you have to do is look through their portfolio. If you are impressed with what you see, you can consider hiring the landscaper. Most landscaping installers have a portfolios page on their website, where you can browse through photos of previous projects.
