Say goodbye to allergies with artificial grass

Depending on the turf that you purchase, a square foot can range in price between five dollars and twenty dollars. For professional installation, the price difference between an initial installation of turf versus grass could be as different as a thirty to one ratio. This all depends, however, on the company installing, the price of the turf, and the size of the lawn. It has a much larger up-front cost as opposed to grass, but it becomes more reasonable when considering all of the other things no longer needed for its maintenance once installed.

Yes! You have the ability to install this turf on your own, but due to the process and tools required, it is important to research before your first attempt. It is commonly recommended to rent this equipment before buying and trying on a small area before a full-project attempt, purchasing all of the instruments needed, is made. There is a lot of layering of materials involved, and equipment needed thereafter, but the process is pretty straightforward. You need to remove any current plantlife (whether that be grass, a garden, or other), level out the area, layer the needed materials, and then lay the turf making sure to staple or glue the edges down to secure it.

The “best” artificial turf is dependent upon the need of the customer as some are looking for a natural-looking replacement for their grass, while others are wanting it to avoid allergy season, while some still are in search of an eco-friendly change. Some people also need a pet-friendly turf, which is an option! Overall, the best rated artificial turf is from the LITA brand, but to suit different needs there are others that work best for those as well! 

For pet options, the Pet Zen Garden Premium Artificial Grass is the best, and for decoration grass, the best is considered to be the iCustomRug Thick Synthetic Artificial Grass. Each customer should evaluate what their needs are and find the brand that best meets them.

Whereas grass is natural, and therefore most often thought of as more environmentally sound, artificial turf has many redeeming qualities. To maintain grass, there is a high need for water, pesticide, and all kinds of outdoor tools that run on gas. Using a lawn-mower repeatedly, watering your grass, and using pesticides to keep away bugs and animals can all be hurting the environment in a significant way that artificial turf would not cause. With turf, you avoid the harmful aspects of a healthy-looking lawn and after one implantation of the product, do not have to deal with the same constant upkeep that grass requires.
