How To Install Artificial Turf Florida

By Rebecca Taylor


If you have a large garden or yard, a great way to improve its functionality and beauty is to install a lawn. You have two main options as far as lawns go. The first is to install a natural grass lawn. However, you should know that this requires a lot of work and the maintenance costs might be unsustainable. The best option is to install a synthetic lawn. When in need of installation of artificial turf Florida residents should take their time to find the best firm to work with.

Grass, like all other living plants, require a lot of things to survive. Water, is the most important requirement. Plants also need food, which is created in the presence of sunlight and the required nutrients. This makes nutrients and fertilizers key requirements. This means that you must add fertilizers to the lawn and provide it with sufficient light, if sunlight is not available throughout the year.

Synthetic grass feels and looks like a well-manicured patch of grass. It lasts many years and does not require any maintenance. In fact, the only thing you need to do is pick twigs and blow leaves and other debris that may fall on the lawn. It does not require any water, fertilizers or sunlight to grow.

Weeds cannot grow on a synthetic lawn. This eliminates the need to carry out weeding. As a result, you will not need to use chemicals in weed control. In addition to saving you money, you will also be protecting the environment. This is because herbicides normally find their way into lakes and rivers, and cause poisoning.

Synthetic turf products normally come in various lengths, but the standard width is usually 15 feet. When installing the material in a wider surface, several pieces of the product must be sewn together to create a continuous material that can effectively cover the entire surface. This is usually done by a professional.

Before placing your order for synthetic lawns, you have to think about the fiber length. If you want an artificial lawn for a playing field, long fibers will be best suited for that purpose. If you are establishing a golf course, however, short fibers will be perfect. A professional installer can help you make the right decision.

Installation of the material starts with removal of grass and sod, as well as any other obstruction, from the surface. The ground is then leveled and compacted before the base is established. Next, crushed rocks are laid over the surface and compacted. The surface is then smoothed to create a stable base. Next, the material is laid over the base and stainless steel pins used to secure it to the base.

Installers normally charge different rates for their services. The installation cost can be divided into two main components, the cost of the material and the labor charge. When looking for a suitable installer, the experience, reputation and cost quoted by the company must be considered. Be sure to hire a licensed, insured and bonded landscaping company to do the job.
