Synthetic Grass Installation

Synthetic vs. Natural

First exploding onto the market in 1966, artificial turf, or synthetic grass has become a staple on the market, found in various applications all over the world. Lauded for its enduring green color, durability, and lack of maintenance required, the product has begun to make its way into residential properties as well as commercial.

There are three main types of artificial turf:

• Polypropylene Turf: The least expensive option, looks beautiful and lush year-round, but is the least durable of the turfs, unable to hold up to heavy traffic or excessive heat. Typically used for small applications.
• Polyethylene Turf: Slightly more expensive than the last, but markedly more durable, softer and more natural in appearance. Ideal for use around pools, outdoor play areas, entire lawns, and more.
• Nylon: The most expensive type of turf, but also the best. Highest rated for its durability and longevity, able to withstand both exorbitant amounts of heat and pressure, while maintaining color and shape. Being the best of the best, it can be used in high concentration for large applications or used in conjunction with other, cheaper turfs.

The immense benefits of turf

The benefits of turf over a natural yard are bountiful. By utilizing a synthetic alternative to grass you can cut back on how much water you use for landscaping purposes, but that’s not all. With turf, you also get all the benefits of:

• Reducing runoff
• Reducing erosion
• Reducing weeds, and therefore allergy pollens
• Less slippery than natural grass or sod
• Noise dampener, if properly installed to
• No fertilizer, seasonal seeding, or weed-killing chemicals needed
