4 Reasons To Hire Landscapers To Install Artificial Turf In Your Backyard
by Tiffany Gonzales
As a homeowner, you may enjoy grass for its beauty and softness. However, grass has a few drawbacks that may prevent you from loving your backyard. An excellent solution is to hire a landscaping company to install artificial turf over a large portion of your backyard.
Water Consumption
Frequent watering is an important part of keeping grass healthy. Fortunately, you will reduce the need to water your backyard as much after installing the artificial turf. This kind of ground cover only requires the occasional hosing down with water to keep it attractive, clean, and sanitary.
Consider analyzing your backyard to determine which grass areas demand the most water. For instance, a particular area may get a ton of sunlight that causes water to evaporate faster than other areas with natural and artificial shade. You can add artificial turf to the sunniest areas to make a more significant impact on your household's water savings.
Putting Green
Take a look at golf courses, and you will find both natural grass and artificial turf. While both surfaces work for golfing, the grass demands more extensive upkeep. The grass needs to be watered often and mowed consistently to keep it short enough for golfing.
Artificial turf makes it easy to create a putting green in your backyard. You can golf once a week or a few times per month without having to worry about mowing or watering.
Potty Area
Part of the artificial turf can function as a potty area for your dogs. Dog urine can turn grass yellow, and their stool requires consistent cleanup to avoid other grass health problems.
Find an area where you know that you can encourage your dogs to start going to the bathroom. The urine will drain on its own, and you can pick up their stool like you would on grass. On occasion, you should hose down the area to maximize cleanliness and remove stool traces.
Chemicals
Maintaining grass requires more than just consistent watering. In many cases, you will need to use chemicals such as fertilizer to promote growth and weed killers to avoid weed issues. You may want to minimize or eliminate the use of chemicals where your kids and pets spend time. Artificial turf is a great solution because you will not need to use any chemicals for upkeep.
Installing turf in a large section of your backyard is worth doing to enjoy these benefits. Contact a landscaping company to learn more.
