Installation Of Artificial Grass Florida Keys

By Carol Smith


Transforming a large outdoor space is as simple as establishing a lush green lawn. Unfortunately, maintaining the lawn will be costly, time consuming and challenging for individuals who have busy schedules. When the grass grows, it must be mowed on a regular basis. The lawn must also be irrigated efficiently to ensure the grass grows. Furthermore, fertilizers must be added to keep the grasses growing healthily. These costs and hassles can be avoided by installing artificial grass Florida Keys.

Artificial turf, or simply turf, is a maintenance-free ground covering the looks and feels exactly like natural grass. The latest turf products can last well over a decade and come with long-term warranties. Synthetic turf normally have fibers ranging from two to four inches long. They are also fade-free, so you can be assured that your outdoor space will look great for long.

Artificial lawns can be installed anywhere, including; around the pool, on the balcony as well as around the dog house among other places. If there is an area around a tree where natural grass has failed to grow, you can install synthetic turf around that area to ensure that your entire yard looks great.

Installation usually starts with clearing and leveling of the ground followed by laying of small pieces of rocks to form the base. The area is then compacted and leveled to create a hard flat surface. The turf is then laid and secured to the base using long corrosion resistant needles.

The standard width of turf products is usually around 15 feet, so several pieces may have to be sewn together to completely cover the target area. This is a job to be handled by a professional to ensure it is done properly. After all, turf is expensive and you want to get the best value for your money.

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, nothing matters more than their reputation. You want to hire an installer who has a track record of completing projects on time, within budget and according to specifications. You do not want to work with someone who drags their feet and cuts corners all the time to increase their profits. For this reason, you should check the BBB for reviews ratings and accreditation.

In every project, there must be a budget, which you do not want to exceed. Since different landscapers charge different rates for their services and turf products, you should obtain quotes from different firms for the two items. Obviously, you should give priority to the most affordable firm that meets all the other requirements. Be sure to give quality of service priority over pricing.
