The use of synthetic turf is ever increasing, as more homeowners desire the look and feel of always green, low maintenance grass.  The cost of all the water, equipment, labor and lawn care chemicals that comes along with that is now larger than money alone.  Lush looking artificial grass is much less expensive than the real thing and high quality synthetic turf comes in several price ranges, enabling you to be able to stay within your budget.

Synthetic turf is being installed all over the country, from residential homes to NFL stadiums to horse race tracks to local parks.  As the years go by, they are improving this turf so that it looks and feels much more like natural grass.  It is also very easy to maintain, unlike real grass which needs to be tended to regularly.  By purchasing artificial grass, organizations will save a lot of money—not only from the cost of the grass, but also from the money that they will have for maintenance.

An obvious reason to purchase synthetic turf is because it will save an organization a lot of money, but there are other reasons that it is preferable over natural grass. In certain areas, limited amounts of water can severely damage natural grass, since it needs to be irrigated regularly.  Artificial turf does not require any water, but if it is used in sports, some players may ask that the turf be moist before play.

In sports, athletes are known to do serious damage to the fields.  Synthetic turf takes the cleats and the heavy wear without all the problems live grass gives to playing fields around the world.  Synthetic grass remains suitable for play and television cameras, even after heavy use.  Turf that can withstand any weather with little to no damage done, makes fake grass the perfect playing field for athletes, children and dogs. It doesn’t matter if it is installed in the playground or in an NFL stadium, with the non-toxic infill materials synthetic turf is safe and suitable for any application… including your home landscape.

Different Types of Synthetic Turf

When choosing the artificial turf for your home, you will always want to take into consideration the quality and the pile density.  The heavier the face weight, the more abuse the fake grass lawn can withstand and the longer it will last.  Be careful when choosing which type of synthetic grass to install on your property, as some brands look very cheap.  Yes, we know it's artificial grass, but it doesn’t have to look like shreds of green construction paper glued to a board.

You should know that there are three types of artificial turf:

- Polypropylene
- Polyethylene
- Nylon

Polypropylene turf is the least expensive, which makes it the artificial grass the majority of deal-shopping homeowners will choose.  Unfortunately this is a poor purchasing decision, as polypropylene turf has a low melting point, and always wears out easier than the other materials you have to choose.  This material is used most often on golf courses.

Polyethylene artificial grass is known for its soft texture, life-like looks in a home landscaping installation and is widely used on soccer fields, football fields and landscape design. High quality polyethylene turf is just right for beautifying your yard with the look and feel of that high cost, high maintenance and water guzzling live grass lawn.  You can't go wrong with this fake grass installation, we guarantee it for 15 years of beauty and use.

Nylon is the strongest artificial turf available. It can withstand high temperatures and weight, and still retain its original shape.  This type of sports turf is also used for putting greens because it is durable and creates a perfect environment for practicing your putt as if you were on the greens. It is not used often for landscaping because of the cost and the stiffness of the pile.

Because of this you will want to predetermine the budget of your project prior to phoning a team of installers to your home. Although you have an initial cost, over a few years fake grass will have paid for itself.  Without the need to water the grass, your water consumption will greatly reduce.  You will no longer have the gardner expense or the gas expense for the lawnmower. You will still need to figure out the total budget for this project before you begin.

Request Full Estimates

When you are speaking with the installation company, confirm the final price is what you will have to pay for your fake grass.  Many times the quoted price may not include tax, installation or other hidden fee’s.  Find out whether the price also includes a warranty on the product as well as the installation (if a corner pulls up, for example).  Confirm the prices of installation or special fee’s for difficult areas (around a playground, for example) to be sure there are no hidden surprises.  Get complete cost estimates and check for a guarantee on the artificial grass installation.

Determine the Type of Turf Needed

Just like any product, there are many different types of artificial grass available on the market. Every type has its own specific application, benefits to use and in rare instances some disadvantages. Research the various types of turf and understand the different usage recommendations prior to installation. Some fake grass is ideal for playing fields and others are perfect for your home landscaping.

The options are endless with artificial grass turf. No matter what shape your lawn is, it will fit the area. Sun or shade, thick beautiful evergreen grass is perfect and a selection of fake grass colors to suit your taste. Perhaps you would like your lawn to look like one of a baseball field or the lawn that the neighbor four houses down has. Having the ability to choose the color, blade thickness and look makes artificial grass lawn right for you!

A lot of people just don’t have the time for the upkeep on a lawn. Just as many jobs may take you out of the city for a certain amount of time. Depending on the weather, and what nature has in the plan while you are gone, you could come home and find a very brown lawn. If you are the type that may forget to water the lawn or perhaps the weather plays havoc in your local area, grass turf is maintenance friendly. Whether you need artificial grass to endure walking on or not, knowing what the turf will be used for will be beneficial before purchasing.

Not sure where to start in the purchase of artificial turf? Having a lawn that suits the appropriate area of your property is one place to start. You may want your grass to look similar to the neighbors. It is the color blend and the blade of the turf that determines which product is right for you. You might have an idea for an outdoor living space or want to have a landscape design created which incorporates artificial turf in it.

Just as eye appeal is important, so is durability. Factors like people and pets walking on the synthetic grass, will make your decision incredibly crucial. Whether you have children that enjoy playing ball, or a dog that loves to run in circles, no grass mowing is the right option. Not all artificial grass lawn materials have the durability for heavily traveled areas, so this factor should be mentioned when purchasing such a lawn. Having not only the look of grass, but the feel of the grass turf is just as important.

Where you want your fake grass installed in the yard is an important part of the decision when purchasing. Whether the artificial turf is being set on a front lawn, back lawn or side lawn will determine the choice you make. Perhaps it is a place that is known for its moisture and not having the ability to drain. The size, slope and other factors need to be taken into consideration as well before purchasing.

Do your research on synthetic grass turf. Ask a lot of questions and be prepared to be asked questions. Being educated on the subject will help in the end selection of the artificial turf and save a lot of turmoil in the end. Not only do you have to be knowledgeable about the turf itself, you need to learn about the installation. Perhaps you are a 'do-it-yourself' kind of person. If you would prefer a professional installation, that is another option. Ask a professional that is knowledgeable in quality artificial grass products. You can never know enough about a home improvement material that you expect to last many years.

There are a lot of benefits in replacing your existing lawn with artificial turf. How does the thought of not having to water or mow the lawn sound?  You will not have any more high water bills from those hot blistery days!  No more gasoline or sore arms from pulling the lawnmower cord to get it to start!  Day after day, and year after year, your lawn of synthetic turf will look impeccable with little maintenance.

Depending on where you live, the new artificial grass lawn will need little or no washing. It is kind of like a car with the weather elements. If you have a lot of dust and little rain fall, then you will be washing it more often.  The collection of dust, mud and dirt will have to be removed.  Regular cycles of rain through the season may do this job for you.

If you happen to live in a dry area, then washing or rinsing needs to be done every month.  With a hose, you can rinse the debris, leaving the synthetic turf lawn looking like the day you purchased it.  After rinsing off the synthetic turf make sure that no one walks on it until it is completely dried out.  Perhaps doing the rinsing in the morning will allow the lawn to be fully dry with the sun on it through the day.

Having pets on your grass will mean immediate cleaning.  Just like a normal lawn it is typical for a dog to urinate and defecate on it.  Hopefully, you will see when this happens for prompt cleaning. If the lawn is not cleaned promptly, then the waste may adhere to the artificial grass fibers of the lawn.  Once, this happens bacteria will set in and the cleaning process will be over bearing.  After the removal of the waste, sanitize the area with disinfectant.

Any trees that bare their leaves can also call for cleaning.  The leaves, depending on their color, may stain the blades of grass if they are left on it for a long period of time.  The best way of removing them is with a leaf blower so no damage is done to the synthetic turf lawn.

Stains can come from anywhere such as; oil, blood, chewing gum, soot, ink and a lot more.  As with pets, it is better if you do the cleaning right away.  Using a cleaning agent that will not discolor the lawn is the best. Test out a small piece from the synthetic turf lawn you have left over after the installation.  Doing this before the stain occurs will cause less stress down the road.  Using pressure and the proper cleaning agent will return your lawn of artificial grass back to its glorious state.

With any stain, try using warm water and detergent first.  Rubbing the synthetic grass with a semi rough cloth will also help with the removal of unwanted stains.  With blood stains, you can use warm water, detergent and salt.  Try all of these mixtures out on a piece of synthetic grass ahead of time.

With periodic cleaning of your artificial grass, it will last you for years and years.

Every homeowner in the world wants to have the greenest possible lawn around. Although many people may not admit it, it does look impressive when your lawn looks meticulous, perfect and weed free year after year. People who have recently purchased a home, and have never given a thought to gardening and ownership are now competing in the unwritten rule of keeping the best kept lawn, and have gotten the hang of the big secret. Fake grass, will keep your yard green, luscious and perfect every day of the year.

The secret to perfect, weed-free green lawns is simply… artificial grass in the Los Angeles area.

Artificial grass is thick, vibrant and economically friendly. In these hard economic times, everyone is hoping to find a way to help the environment, without having to sacrifice what they love. Real live grass is a very tough regime that needs a lot of love and cares to keep healthy. There are constant worries about weeds, pests, fertilizer, aeration, and of course the fumes that come with mowing your lawn at least once a week. No mow lawns eliminate that hassle. Has your grass been looking thick every day of the year without having to mow or water your lawn? Presence of rain and droughts no longer matter, making your life simpler.

Start conserving water with your synthetic grass lawn. Live grass uses gallons and gallons of water to keep it looking like its best. Chemicals are applied to keep weeds and pests out of your lawn, adding to your carbon foot print. Start saving your money, without sacrificing your visual satisfaction. Reduce your water bills by up to 60% instantly with synthetic turf. See the benefits of water conservation as your bank account begins to grow. Understand how much money you will save, just by checking out your green account balance every month.

The money normally spent on gas, oil, maintenance or having hired a gardener is extra spending money. By simply having fake grass in your yard, you have now gained a new two to three hundred dollars every single month—and you're helping the environment!

Think of how many hours you have seeded your lawn, then reseed it in the fall. Investigate the cost of seeds, time and energy just to keep your lawn looking the best it can. How many times have you seeded your lawn in the summer only to find dead brown patches in the middle of summer? Why bother with the constant need to seed your lawn, when you can have synthetic grass which never needs a seed for countless years? Take the time to talk to your artificial turf specialist and find out just how quickly you can get the lawn of your dreams, every single day without having to lift a finger to do it. 

California’s savvy consumers, negotiating the challenges of water shortages, low rainfall and increased concerns over pollution are turning more and more to artificial grass materials to answer their landscape needs.

Over 20 million square feet of artificial turf and synthetic grass were installed as lawns, landscaping solutions for slopes, leisure sports areas, putting greens, and small play areas – not at schools and parks – but in California front and backyards!

State and local water districts see the advantages – their use studies show findings that report an average family of 4, with approximately 1000 square feet of irrigated lawn, will probably consume between 32,000 and 56,000 gallons of water on the lawn per year.

That doesn’t sound like much until you start adding up the tens of thousands of homes that make up that consumption in a typical metropolitan water district’s. Using the water district’s average use per year and multiplying that by the amount of installed artificial grass Californians invested into their landscaping, a whopping 640 MILLION gallons of water has been saved, made available to other uses in the community!

Artificial turf has been traditionally installed as synthetic putting greens and now, because the products are so life-like and natural looking, more and more consumers are using synthetic turf as “synthetic sod” for faux lawns, dog kennels, erosion control, dust reduction, grey water management and many other solutions.

If you have an energetic dog, then you've likely got a pup that likes to run. Energetic breeds, like the Husky or a Dalmatian, can quickly wear down live grass. The result is unsightly bare patches that quickly turn into mud pits when it rains leaving you with standing water that attracts insects. Synthetic grass restores the tranquility of your yard, as it can withstand any breed of animal. Regardless of their energy levels, dogs will have an extremely difficult time dealing damage to quality synthetic turf.

We can't bear to see our animals left standing in the rain but it's painful to let a wet animal in the house because you know their little pads are covered in mud and dirt. With the elimination of standing water and mud, you no longer have to worry about muddy prints all over your patio, porch and especially in the house. Artificial grass won't wear down in the areas where your dog loves to run, and when it does rain, the constant form and texture of fake grass will act like a natural scrubby for your dog's feet.

Even low-energy breeds like to dig from time to time. Often to pursue odors or bury an odor they have discovered that they disapprove of. Artificial grass is extremely porous, as well as antimicrobial. Any odors that do find their way onto the surface will be rapidly shed from the surface. If your dog does try to dig into the fake grass, he won't get far. Artificial turf is designed to withstand extreme sports, so it will survive your pooch just fine.

Not only will artificial grass clean up easily when you dog relieves himself, it won't fade or discolor because of animal urine. Large pieces of waste will have to be removed just like in your natural yard, but smaller bits can be washed down into the grass. Due to the antibacterial/antimicrobial nature of fake grass and the porous design, the excrement will quickly wash away naturally.

There are many benefits to installing synthetic turf for your animals. If you have any concern that your animal won't take to it – don't worry. Many pet owners have stated that their dogs treat it as if it were natural grass and either don't know the difference or simply don't care.

After all, if your dog can romp, play and sleep on the carpet in your house then he will certainly do so, on the beautiful new artificial turf covering your property.

Artificial grass is about as maintenance free as you can get with it comes to your property. Even still, you're going to find yourself tending to it from time to time if you want to keep it looking sharp and vibrant. When you understand how to properly tend to your new artificial turf, you'll be able to keep it in pristine shape.

Synthetic grass is intended to be low maintenance. You can make it a no-maintenance lawn, but it simply won't last as long or look as nice. There's also a good chance you could end up voiding any warranty that comes with your artificial grass installation. It's best to take just the few necessary steps to keeping your yard in top shape. Just keep in mind that there are specific ways to tend to fake grass.

The last thing you want to do, for example, is use the wrong cleaning agent on your synthetic grass. Here are some tips on maintaining the yard you shelled out all that money for.

1. Avoid any cleaning agent that utilizes harsh acids or alcohol bases. These will cause the artificial grass to deteriorate. The blades will lose their vibrancy and structure quickly as they break down.

2. Diluted bleach is a good choice for removing any stains that might occur on your fake grass. While rare, it could be necessary on occasion especially if you have outdoor company or eat outside. Aim for a mixture of 1 part household bleach to 10 parts water, no less. Once you've used the solution to clean stains, it's important to rinse your artificial grass long enough to remove any residual bleach.

3. If you opt to use any detergents for taking care of animal poo or oily compounds, try to use a milder agent with minimal suds. Aim for biodegradable compounds that will have a minimal effect on the environment. As with any cleaning agent, rinse the area thoroughly so the solvent is dispersed passed the grass and infill and down into the natural soil.

4. When you need to scrub an area of your fake grass, use only soft rags or very soft bristle brushes like those that are used to carefully clean vehicles. Rough bristles or towels may cause your grass to fray over time if you're too rough while cleaning.

5. Removing tough and stubborn dirt or stains can sometimes be quite a chore. Don't give up the ghost yet and dive for the industrial strength cleaners. One of the greatest cleaning agents might be sitting right in your kitchen. Simple cider vinegar is a fantastic method for cleaning around the house and can be safely applied to your synthetic grass. You can spray the vinegar directly onto problem areas with a spray bottle or cover larger areas with a hose sprayer. While there's less of an issue with leaving a cleaning solvent behind, it pays to rinse your yard – unless you enjoy having your yard smell like a big Vlasic pickle.

If you've never witnessed what fake grass is capable of, you are missing out. People across the great state of California have tethered themselves like slaves to their property. They work the earth under the lashing whip of the hot sun just to get a beautiful lawn that might not even last. Fake grass has the power to free you from your bonds.

A freshly laid lawn of synthetic grass will stay that way for years to come. Once you have installed it, and it has broken your yoke, you will begin to recognize just what it has done for you.

You will no longer be a slave to the gas pump, filling and refilling portable gas cans so you can violently chop your uppity grass down a peg or two. You can now live under the bountiful cease-fire, where you no longer have to dump pollutants into the air from your lawnmower. You have an electric mower you say? Then prepare to drop-kick your electric bill. This artificial grass is no-maintenance.

That means no clipping, no cutting, no trimming, no slaving away – No kidding.

Consider what grass really is and how we use it.  Natural grass actually grows wild in fields and meadows. It is never mowed or irrigated. The fact of the matter is that a natural lawn is about as unnatural as you can get and is a violent slap in the face to Mother Nature. Far more so than any fake grass that could be installed around your pool.

Just because a plant is alive, has roots and is thriving does not mean that it is:  beneficial to your homes environment, natural to the area or organic by traditional means.

"Natural" refers to a state of being that requires no control, no interruption or interactions, no chemicals – it means it is self-sustaining and thriving. Wild grass is natural. It grows as tall as it needs to and blows in the wind. No controlling, no chemicals and no transplanting. It lives off the natural water of the world. It grows anywhere it wants to, when it wants to, through any unnatural structure it can push through.

That means it can also push through to your property from nearby wild fields, or poorly tended yards. It can push into your driveway, and go everywhere you don’t want it to be. That's the beauty of fake grass though. It will never be considered a weed because it has the perfect manners. It won't ever go anywhere other than where you tell it to be.

Fake grass is sterile. No grass seed, no naughty nightly excursions to the neighbor's yard for some rough and tumble. Your artificial grass is sophisticated, behaves itself, and makes you look good. You neighbor's grass on the other hand is the equivalent of a naughty monkey, and won't keep to itself. Thankfully, due to the way fake grass is installed neighboring grass will never infiltrate your artificial turf. The density of the infill makes sure of that.

You can ensure that your environment is safe for those around you as well because you won't ever need to put a drop of pesticide on your synthetic grass. No fertilizer, no weed killer. It has been scientifically proven that fake grass is completely sustainable in the original form, in all its lush beauty, without chemicals ever being used to maintain it. If organic means never using a chemical – Then welcome to your organic artificial grass lawn.
