All About Artificial Grass Florida Keys

By Carol Smith


If you have a large outdoor space around your home, the best way to improve its functionality and beauty is to establish a lawn. For best results, you should let a professional landscaper do it for you. While grass may look great, it requires a lot of maintenance. You have to buy fertilizers, irrigate it and mow the entire lawn on a regular basis. This can be incredibly costly. A cheaper and more convenient alternative would be to install artificial grass Florida Keys.

The beauty of installing turf around your home is that it does not require any maintenance, so it will save you a lot of money. Furthermore, it looks great all year round. Most turf products have fibers that are 2-4 inches long, depending on application. The colors of the fibers are usually fade free, so your outdoor space will look great all year round.

Artificial lawns do not require any soil, sunlight or water, so they can be installed anywhere. For instance, they can be installed on balconies, around the dog house as well as around the swimming pool. If there are brown patches around the yard, where grass has refused to grow, turf can be installed.

Before turf can be installed, the entire area must be cleared of plants, rocks, tree stumps and any other object. The area must then be leveled and a base created with crushed rocks. The entire area must then be compressed and leveled to create a smooth but hard surface. That is when turf laying can start. The material is often secured to the base around the edges with long metallic pins.

There are many manufacturers of turf material. However, they all make turf in standard widths. The most common is 15 feet. This means that if your yard is 45 ft wide, three pieces will have to be sewn together to cover the entire surface.

The key to proper installation lies in hiring the right installer. There are many landscaping firms that can handle the job, but you should pick a licensed landscaping contractor with a permit to install turf. The number of years the contractor has been in business is a key factor of consideration, so you need to identify and hire the most experienced contractor.

When looking for a contractor who can offer a high quality of service, you should consider the reputation of the shortlisted contractors. Ideally, you should give preference to firms that have rave reviews on sites like the BBB. Be sure to also check reviews on other sites to get a good idea about the quality of service the firm offers.

You are obviously looking for a contractor whose services you can afford. Since you already have a budget, you should hire a firm that quotes a price that is within your financial reach. Ideally, you should ask all the shortlisted firms to provide their quotes so that you can compare them.
