All About 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.

The beauty of installing turf around your home is that it does not require any maintenance, so it will save you a lot of money. Furthermore, it looks great all year round. Most turf products have fibers that are 2-4 inches long, depending on application. The colors of the fibers are usually fade free, so your outdoor space will look great all year round.

Artificial lawns do not require any soil, sunlight or water, so they can be installed anywhere. For instance, they can be installed on balconies, around the dog house as well as around the swimming pool. If there are brown patches around the yard, where grass has refused to grow, turf can be installed.

Installing turf is a complex process and should not be taken as a DIY project. It requires clearing of the entire surface, leveling of the ground and creation of the base. Crushed pieces of rocks are normally laid on the surface, in layers, then compacted and leveled to create a hard, but flat surface for laying the turf. Once installed, long pins are normally used to secure the material to the base.

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.

Picking the right installer is the key to proper installation of turf. For this reason, you should take your time to find the right installer for the material. Start by shortlisting licensed contractors who are qualified and authorized to do the job. Next, check the number of jobs the firm has handled as well as the number of years the firm has been in business.

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.

You are obviously looking for a contractor whose services you can afford. Since you already have a budget, you should hire a firm that quotes a price that is within your financial reach. Ideally, you should ask all the shortlisted firms to provide their quotes so that you can compare them.
