Maintaining a lawn can be really time and efforts taking as you have to spend much time on mowing, trimming, spraying, and fertilizing the grass. You pay bills for watering and electricity. When you are going on holidays you ask your neighbors to take care of your lawn. And when you finally have the ideal lawn of your dream you are afraid that kids or pets can disturb or damage it.

Is there a way for having easy lawn without extra maintenance efforts and problems?

Yes, if you use artificial grass.

Artificial grass (artificial turf) is a pioneering product made of polymer fibers that offers the opportunity to own a healthy lush looking, practically no maintenance lawn all year round. With artificial lawn never again you will have to look at ugly scorched grass in the summer, you will never have to water the grass and it stays green and lush all year round.

Artificial lawn is child friendly that makes it perfect for playing and rolling on as well as for picnics and inflatable swimming pools, and such lawn is pets-friendly and proof as well.

Artificial turf may be applied to any size or shaped garden including roof terraces and patios and it is the perfect answer to muddy patches that arise in shaded areas, and moss does not easily occur. Thanks to the very strong back on which the grass is attached, roots have no chance as they cannot grow through. This applies also for moles. They will stay underneath the grass.

Artificial grass is the best choice for a natural looking lawn at your vacation residence. The advantages for installation of the grass at your vacation residence are:
– Cost savings in maintenance; you won’t need time of your gardener to cut, maintain and water your lawn. – Cost savings in water use; you will drastically decrease your water bill! On average you can save up to 50% of your water use. Especially when your bill is scaled pro-rated on your water use, this can have a tremendous impact on your monthly water bill. – Tranquility; during your stay at your vacation residence, you will be less bothered by maintenance people in your garden since artificial grass needs no mowing or watering or other weekly maintenance.

Always green, your lawn at your vacation residence will always look perfectly green and well maintained with artificial grass. Water sprinkler systems could fail during your absence, or even your water flow could be stopped for any reason. Natural grass would rapidly become yellow and die. With artificial one, you won’t need to worry about this any more.

Is it fire safe?

High quality artificial turf must comply with the most severe norms for fire safety. Artificial grass is also used in the aviation industry next to runways. Of course elaborate tests with flammable liquids have been done and the results of these tests were satisfying. Just like on carpet, when for instance coals fall unexpected on artificial grass, the coals will leave scorch marks, but hot coals will not set the grass on fire.

Does it need any maintenance?

Like almost anything, artificial grass needs maintenance as well. Though, the maintenance will be minimal. The special coated quartz sand, especially when the grass is used intensively, will compact after course of time. Therefore, it is advised to fill up the grass again with the quartz sand once a year. Furthermore, it is required that all natural debris, like leaves and seeds, are removed when necessary from the grass to prevent weeds coming up. If weeds however do come up, they can be removed by using a rank. The roots of the weeds can never grow deeper than 2 centimeters since the grass is manufactured on an anti-weed fabric.

To clean artificial lawn a blower can be used without any problems. Due to the fact that the grass is very even, the leaves will be blown away easily by use of a blower. When a leave plunger is used, it is very important to use it carefully to prevent plunging the infill sand.

Artificial grass is not damaging for the environment. Even better, it helps the environment as it does not need any water, pesticides, fertilizing or mowing. That makes a great difference, especially with the hot summers, and in dry and water restricted areas in countries around the Mediterranean sea, artificial grass can save tremendous amounts of scarce water that is being used for watering natural grass. Of course, artificial grass needs to be recycled in an appropriate way after its use.

How to choose artificial grass for easy lawn?

Choose high quality product that will ensure beautiful color in all weathers, season after season, year after year. To ensure lasting color of the lawn, the artificial grass must have no fade guarantee. For safe usage it must be made of non-toxic materials. Ask about installation as only specialists can properly install artificial turf taking care of the optimal drainage and surface preparation, after which the grass will be installed and with an eye for detail it is finished on the site.

artificial grassIn Southern California (we live in the San Diego area) we have recently been put on water rationing due to the severe drought. In an effort to save our planet and help conserve water we have decided to replace the sod grass at our Boston Terrier puppy breeding business Puppies-Dot-Com.com with Pregra synthetic grass. This will reduce our water usage and the water bill that has gone through the roof since the City increased water rates so we are looking forward to reducing our water bill too. This Do It Yourself video shows how anyone can install a beautiful synthetic grass lawn at your home or business.

People are thinking of ways they can do their bit to live a more environmentally conscious lifestyle – the ways to do so are limitless. There are many ways we can improve our carbon emissions output because almost every single choice we make in our daily life has some kind of impact on our carbon footprint.

One of the areas where you may choose to change may be in your own backyard, literally. Unsurprisingly most homeowners lawns are made of natural grass. As distinct from artificial grass.

There are some factors to consider that go into maintaining a lush, green lawn:

- It costs money to maintain a lush, green lawn.

- Lawns need regular trims with the lawnmower.

- Healthy, green, well-grassed lawns require regular watering.

- Lawns require weed killers, pesticides and fertilizers.

Now replacing your costly lawn with a synthetic grass equivalent addresses each of these environmental concerns. Spilling chemicals into the ground will have a cumulative effect on the environment with the chemicals leeching away into our water systems. At a time when water is restricted in many places, using it to water our grass is essentially a luxury we can’t afford.

The aged should also be considered here. As you get older your ability to maintain the lawn will diminish so too might your access to money to pay for the upkeep. The answer could very well be to replace the grass with artificial grass.

If you live in areas where drought has been a big issue, water restrictions are a regular occurrence. The very last priority during such critical times is the lawn which quickly goes brown and dies off. In extreme circumstances the soil is compacted, the grass disappears forever and you’re left with a yard that has turned into a dust bowl.

There are a lot of advantages to using artificial grass such as the low maintenance aspect, the need for watering is obviated, wear and tear no longer becomes an problem, it looks good for the entire year and it’s better for the environment because you don’t need chemical application or a lawnmower.

The growth rate of grass in summer is so great that your lawn needs cutting once a week as the grass takes off and grows like at no other time. Cutting the grass each week is just another source of carbon being added to the atmosphere, no matter whether you own a petrol powered lawnmower or an electric lawnmower.

Moving from natural grass to artificial grass will make a big difference to your carbon footprint and will be helping to do your bit for saving the environment. Artificial grass will benefit the environment at an exponential rate over time, too, with every second the lawnmower hasn’t had to run, every drop of water saved and every atom of chemical that hasn’t been poured. The result puts the environment in an even better position than it otherwise would be.

The monetary savings are the bonus that will convince people that synthetic grass is a worthwhile alternative to the real thing.

For some residents in a neighborhood in Tampa Florida, the streets are very well kept and the trees are nature’s pride: big trees of oak.

However, all these prettiness changed when one resident decided that enough is enough, he ripped his yard up and installed artificial grass.

Though there are those who think that having a synthetic artificial lawn grass is pathetic, there are those who think otherwise.

Believe it or not, this coming summer will be witness to a lot more people from the suburban areas that are to install yards upon yards of fake grass.

This is lawn faux grass that is somehow very lifelike and real that people could be fooled to think they are what they appear to be, and pets actually think it is real.

The fact of the matter is that spending on artificial grass is supposed to rise by a quarter this coming year at businesses as well as homes.
This basically translates to a revenue of two hundred and fifty million more. Compare this to a real lawn grass that need to be maintained, trimmed, sprinkled, etc. and an artificial grass that solely needs to be blow dried.

Though this prospect is tempting for some, it is unthinkable for a lot of other people. There are still those suburban residents that find this grass tacky and surreal.

Some residents still find a reason to complain on artificial grass. For them, artificial grass looks just too lushly fake in the cold, cold dead winter. This has even prompted some neighborhoods to ban the use of it altogether.

For the research director of the National Association of Gardening, having artificial grass is like having a toupee on your lawn.

But there are still positive perks from having this type of grass. For one, the artificial grass industry thinks that there are advantages of faux lawn grass.

One benefit is the decrease in the care of one’s lawn. Thereby saving anyone and everyone money and energy.

It is also one way to decrease the use of fertilizers. It also helps neighborhood and households comply with the restrictions with regards to the use of water especially in areas that experience a lot of drought.

Take for example an area in New Mexico, particularly Albuquerque which actually offer five hundred dollars to those residents who have a part of their lawn converted to landscape and which need less water.

Same laws are also enforced in Arizona at Mesa as well as in Las Vegas. Simply put, for those who really want to see lush green grass, the use of the artificial version is a good alternative.

For those homeowners who prefer grass that is artificial, the reasons are simple. One user has found it helpful that his son no longer drags mud inside their house.

Though the fact of the matter is that he also had to pad some areas of the lawn in order for the child not to hurt himself – it cost three hundred dollars.

Another benefit is that it bring no bugs.

Also, like real lawn grass, it comes in varieties. There are those who are garden lush variety that has a recently-been-mowed look. This type of grass costs an average of thirty thousand dollars.

The plus is that it simply needs to be airblowered once after quite a long while.

How did fake grass become so hip?

It all started in the 1970′s when football teams as well as baseball teams decided to install artificial grass in stadiums all over the country.

Though fans claimed it as an ugly alternative, as well as dangerous and totally unnatural, it was actually a low maintenance and low cost landscaping phenomenon.

Until there were athletes that tore their ligaments and broke their bones due to it.

All in all, the use of faux grass depends much on a person’s preference, style, need and budget. What one could see as ugly could be beauty to another person’s perspective.

The important thing is that all the benefits and disadvantages are properly weighed by the potential user of the artificial grass and from there decide which is best as according to his long term likes and dislikes.
