Guide To Installing Artificial Turf Florida

By Paul Olson


The appearance of a property can significantly be improved when a lush green lawn is installed. Whether you own a commercial or residential property, you can improve its appearance and monetary value by simply hiring a competent landscaper to install either a synthetic or natural lawn. When in need of artificial turf Florida residents should only consider hiring experienced installers.

Low maintenance is one of the main benefits of installing a synthetic lawn. The only thing that you need to do to maintain synthetic grass is to use a leaf blower to remove debris from surrounding trees. The best thing about it is that your lawn will look great throughout the year.

Most synthetic lawns come with an expected lifespan of around 15 years, but they can last well-over 20 years when properly installed and used. Most installers normally offer a warranty of around 8-10 years. Since natural lawns normally require renovation after 3-5 years, you will be able to recoup the cost of installing a synthetic lawn quickly due to reduced replacement and maintenance costs.

The installation cost of natural lawns is much lower than the cost of installing a synthetic lawn. This is because grass can grow and spread over the entire surface. With artificial grass, you have to buy the synthetic grass to cover every square inch of space where the grass needs to be installed. The cost of creating the base also increases the cost of installation further. Therefore, you need to prepare yourself to spend a considerable amount of money to get this type of lawn.

Before installation can commence, the whole area where synthetic grass is going to be installed must be cleared of any rocks, tree stumps, plants, top soil and grass among other things. The ground must then be leveled and compacted. Crushed rocks will then spread all over the surface, compacted and smoothed. The end-product is a 4-inch thick base where the artificial grass will be installed and secured with long pins.

There are many installers in any given city in Florida, and most of them claim to be the best. However, you will need to do some research to find the best service provider. Priority consideration should always be given to the most experienced contractors that deal in the highest quality materials and have a track record of properly installing this type of lawn.

Installation costs usually depend on a variety of factors. For instance, the type of installer you choose will affect the cost. Ideally, you should give priority consideration to firms that quote the lowest costs for the project. However, you will need to confirm that the quote is inclusive of everything, including taxes and insurance premiums among other things.

Landscapers normally have a portfolio through which they showcase their skills and talents by displaying their best works. By going through the pictures included in the portfolio, you can easily identify the most competent landscape installer in the city. Ideally, you should shortlist all the firms that have managed to design landscapes that meet all your needs and expectations.
