What You Should Know About Quality Artificial Grass

By Enid Hinton


Outdoor spaces are prime selling points for residential and commercial properties alike. This is why landscapers are often contracted to ensure that these spaces have precisely the right look. Quality artificial grass helps to enhance the beauty and by extension, make the property more attractive to those who view it.

Some commercially produced grass tend to have that fake look. The ones that are made with high quality material and processes closely resemble nature's own work. Many of these lawns resemble natural ones so closely that visitors to the space are often convinced they are grown not bought. This is mostly due to the expertise methods and raw material used to create these items.

The color of the synthetic lawn is one feature that manufacturers try to get to be as closely resembling to natural grasses as possible. Any analysis of synthetic lawns should bear in mind, the fact that there are many shades of natural grass though. This means that the success of the attempts relies heavily on the type of lawn that is being imitated.

Another point of comparison between the two types of lawns is the texture. The lower quality ones tend to have an obviously plastic or rubbery feel and look. The higher quality items will be virtually indiscernible from the product of nature in texture. Material such as nylon and polypropylene are great for this purpose.

In addition to being natural in texture, the superior standard lawn also resembles naturally grown ones in thickness. A similar number of strands is used to create these lawns. Manufacturers pay close attention to the number of blades that occupy a certain amount of space in natural grasses and strive to copy it.

Natural grasses allow water to seep through into the earth below and this is another feature that high quality synthetic lawns are able to copy. Manufacturers make the base of the lawn porous by placing holes in it. Through these holes, water drains into the earth below the lawn.

The high standard of a synthetic lawn relies also on the foundation on which it sits. This means that the installation must be carefully done. Landscapers and experts as well as do-it-yourself installers must ensure that the surface is level before the lawn is installed. Also the strips of lawn must be seamless when installed. This means that they should be designed to overlap without leaving a visible line when place don the ground. It is also a good idea to select a product that comes with a safety layer that goes below the lawn.

This type of lawn makes a wonderful investment for anyone who wishes to have the dual advantage of a beautiful and attractive environment. A post installation evaluation will prove that they increase the monetary value of the property. For business operators a distinct advantage lies in the fact that they attract potential investors as well as clients.
