Benefits Of 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.

The main benefit of a synthetic lawn is the low maintenance. In fact, these lawns do not need any type of maintenance as they do not grow. This makes them convenient as well as cost effective to have. If you are looking for a hassle-free lawn that looks great all year round, this type of lawn is for you.

Artificial turf materials usually come with a lifespan of around 15 years. However, high traffic and poor use can reduce the lifespan. If properly installed and used, most synthetic lawns can last over two decades. Since natural lawns must be renovated every 3-5 years, and require a lot of maintenance, you can recoup the installation cost in just 6-7 years from reduced maintenance and renovation 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.

When installing artificial grass, the entire area where the grass will be installed must be prepared. Tree stumps, trees, rocks, natural grass and top soil must be removed. The ground is then compacted before pieces of crushed rocks are spread throughout the entire surface, compacted and smoothed to create a 4-inch base where the material will be installed. Once the turf has been laid on top of the base, stainless steel pins are used to secure it to the base.

Every major city in the state of Florida has dozens of qualified landscape installers. This means that the only way to find the best contractor for the job is to do a thorough comparison of their business, previous projects, reputation cost and experience among other things. Ideally, you should give top priority to experienced service providers with a great track record of installing synthetic lawns properly.

It is important you ask several contractors to provide you with their quotes and do a comparison. When comparing quotes, be sure to confirm the quotes include taxes and other charges. For this reason, you may want to request quotes that have a complete breakdown of costs.

Most landscapers have a portfolio, which they proudly display on their websites, social media pages and blogs. Before choosing a landscaper, therefore, you have to visit the websites of your preferred landscapers and check out some of the previous projects they have handled. If you are happy with what you see, you can give the firm priority consideration. You may also want to get in touch with a few of their previous clients to confirm the project details.
