Why should I choose artificial turf over real grass?
Artificial turf requires little to no maintenance, saves money on
water bills, and stays green year-round. It’s durable, pet-friendly,
and ideal for busy families who don’t have time for constant lawn
care. Turf also does not require heavy use of chemicals and other
fertilizers to keep areas looking clean and green.
For any reason, is it necessary to water synthetic grass?
It’s a good idea to maintain a sprinkler system if you have pets to
wash away urine and other debris or contaminants. Even though turf doesn’t need
watering, keeping the area clean is essential, and water helps remove
unwanted odors and bacteria.
Does artificial turf become hot to touch in direct sunlight?
Yes and No. Turf is made from a monofilament and can increase in
temperature when exposed to heavy direct sunlight. However, there are
methods to reduce the temperatures such as Envirofill silica sand and
specific blade shapes that help deflect the sun’s rays. In Texas, there
are only a few months of the year when turf temperatures can be uncomfortably hot.
Is all artificial turf created equal?
Not at all. There are numerous turf manufacturers worldwide, and the
best choice depends on your site’s specific needs. For instance,
synthetic turf is mainly produced in China and the United States.
While turf from China might be more affordable, it often uses
lower-quality materials, which can cause premature wear and other issues over time.
