Colorado Springs homeowners add artificial grass to their front and back lawns for various reasons. Most homeowners appreciate the added appeal and easy maintenance, but they also understand the many other benefits that fake grass gives them. However, artificial grass comes in assorted varieties, styles, lengths, colors, and other variations, creating difficulty choosing the best turf for their lawn and budget.
How can you get the best artificial grass for your specific needs? Top Notch Turf is one phone call away when you need help choosing (or installing) fake grass. We’ll answer your questions, provide recommendations, and otherwise ensure you are completely satisfied with the new grass installed in your yard.
A few additional tips to help choose the best fake grass for your home:
Yarn Quality
Buying the most expensive artificial turf isn’t necessary when choosing a good yarn quality specific to your unique environmental situation. Cheap synthetic yarn isn’t designed for practical use. It cannot withstand damages caused by the sun, weather, and even foot traffic, and it quickly loses color. It’s cheaper but comes at a price later on. Choose quality yarns for long-lasting results.
Color
Choosing the greenest or brightest synthetic grass may seem like the natural choice, but shopping for colors that are more natural to the Colorado Springs environment is best. Most homeowners are better off using artificial grass that combines several different shades of green to achieve optimal color, natural results.
Infill Type
A well-installed base completes a quality turf installation. No matter what type of artificial grass you choose, it won’t last or provide the anticipated results without a good infill backing it. Give the experts at Top Notch Turf a call if you need advice choosing the best infill. Options range from gravel to wood chippings to sand and more.
Grass Density, Weight, and Pile Height
Professionals recommend a 30-35mm blade grass for artificial grass. Longer blades have low resiliency that fades and wears out faster than other choices. Choose a good density turf to ensure long-lasting quality further. The total weight of fake grass is also significant. A low-weight turf can be increased with infill. Otherwise, choose a denser grass except when using the turf on roofs or other areas unable to bear the weight.
Traffic
If you have kids, pets, or install fake grass in high-traffic areas, investing in turf with shorter blades is best. Performance yarn also helps keep high-traffic areas looking their best. Consider the amount of traffic the grass will receive when purchasing fake turf.
