Keeping It Green With Synthetic Grass Florida

By Anna Lewis


The Sunshine State may boast many things, but green lawns are not one of them. In a state that is surrounded by ocean on three sides, it is merely typical to see yards consisting of sand and sea oats. However, with synthetic grass Florida residents can create the illusion of lawns without the demands of fill dirt and fresh water.

Living in a state that boasts frequent hurricanes creates yet another conflict when attempting to establish and maintain lawns. Truly, it has been a wasteful and vain endeavor, as all fill dirt and sod will surely be washed away each and every time a hurricane comes through. Even the wealthiest homeowners understand the flagrant waste of fresh water that a lawn represents.

Golf clubs and indoor sporting venues created a demand for better artificial sod. Now these products are available to the average homeowner, so anyone living in states with sand rather than dirt can have what appears to be a healthy lawn to enjoy. It looks and feels very much like the real thing, and it can be tapped down, or simply rolled up and stored when the storms are anticipated.

People throughout the country are taking notice of these products. Faux turf allows any homeowner to have a beautiful area of greenery without the risks involved in bringing foreign plants into a region. Additionally, they are non-toxic and make an excellent option for people who have dogs or small children who are allergic to grasses or pollen.

Rubber and mulch are the traditional linings for most church and school playgrounds. Both products contained dyes which have not always been a sound option for the environment, and can be dangerous to both pets and small children. In addition, they did not provide the same level ground that artificial turf boasts, and there were many falls suffered as a result.

The elderly among us can see an even greater benefit than children when it comes to the safety an artificial ground cover provides. Level, soft areas for walking are extremely important in nursing homes and facilities that assist the elderly. Concrete has never been the best option for those who walk several miles a day, so college campuses can also reap the rewards of artificial turf.

For temporary gatherings or sporting events, many companies will rent their product for a period of time. This can make the gathering area more pleasing to the eye, safer to navigate on foot, and when placed over existing lawns during a temporary gathering of people, it prevents the lawn areas from being damaged due to the sudden flood of people traversing the area.

The full benefit of this medium can only be appreciated if it is installed correctly. Hiring a professional to perform this task is the only way to guarantee that the ground will be as level and safe as the product claims. Playgrounds and nursing facilities cannot boast regarding the safe, soft, and level walking areas unless a licensed professional has performed the installation.
