On any given weekend, the sound of lawn mowers and weed trimmers running through the community will never stop growing healthy, luscious lawns. Sprinklers emit intermittent rhythms when spraying water. In thousands of communities, homeowners can be found spraying weeds that seem to appear suddenly overnight.

Despite mowing, fertilizing, and almost constant maintenance, many lawns still have problems — turning yellow and brittle during droughts, withering in the heat, becoming a host of pests, and the appearance of unsightly patches. Rather than dedicate weekends to lawn care, it is better to understand how artificial lawn supplies can help create an attractive, low-maintenance lawn that eliminates common lawn care problems while increasing the attractiveness of the home.

The grass needs to be watered regularly. Too much, the lawn is prone to fungus and other diseases. Too little will result in poor root development and unhealthy yards prone to weeds and insect infestation. There are also communities that restrict lawn watering during droughts to protect the tight water supply, which makes even the best-preserved lawns seem chaotic.

If you stick to the watering plan, then you have to deal with the trouble of pulling out hoses and sprinklers every day, or repairing leaks and blockages in expensive underground sprinkler systems.

By installing high-quality synthetic turf, such as the residential series supplied by artificial turf, homeowners do not have to worry about overwatering or underwatering. This real-looking turf looks good all year round, and you never need to turn on the sprinkler.

Most yards have a variety of natural light conditions-some areas are exposed to scorching ultraviolet light, and only the hardest grasses can survive. Other locations, such as under dense trees or on the north side of houses, will encounter dense shadows and hardly grow grass.

Artificial turf goes smoothly from a sunny place to a shady place-creating a seamless transition throughout the yard without having to plant different varieties of seeds that can make the lawn look like a patchwork quilt.

Even on the best-preserved lawns, there are too many problems, including too much fertilizer, poor soil quality, thatch (dead grass that forms a mat on the ground) or many other gardening problems. The high-quality artificial grass supplied from the artificial turf has never been a scattered problem-the color and texture of the lawn are consistent throughout the yard.

Pest infestations and diseases occupy a prominent place in the problem of making lawns look less lush. Unfortunately, when a homeowner discovers a problem, a full-scale infestation or lawn disease may be occurring, requiring a lot of chemical treatment, which may be unfriendly to the environment, and must pay for pest control or wildlife control. Finding out specific bugs, fungi, or other lawn problems usually means taking multiple soil samples for testing, and then starting an expensive and time-consuming lawn treatment process.

Fighting pests, whether it's grubs or gophers, and lawn diseases are ongoing battles with natural grasses, but artificial turf does not have to be worried-or treated with chemicals-to keep it looking healthy.

Mowing is more than a regular lawn task. In order to keep the grass healthy, strict mowing practices are necessary, and busy homeowners do not always have time to incorporate mowing into their schedule. Cutting more than one-third of the grass blades makes the lawn vulnerable to disease, so in the fast-growing season, it may be necessary to cut the grass every three days to avoid damage to the lawn. With artificial turf, you don’t have to worry about finding time to mow or hiring someone else to mow it. Other benefits include no longer needing to store gasoline for lawn mowers, no need to sharpen lawn mower blades, and no longer missing other activities because the lawn needs to be mowed.

Pets and lawn chemicals cannot be mixed. Chemical herbicide and fertilizer products often warn pet owners to keep their furry family members away from the lawn for hours or even days after using certain products.

Artificial turf supply companies provide a variety of pet-friendly turf options, so pet owners don’t have to worry about chemical poisoning or skin irritation caused by toxic turf products. The PetPRO series uses artificial turf made of polyethylene, which is safe for pets-it is designed to allow pet urine to drain without staining or discoloration. This flexible turf is also resistant to chewing and digging, providing a long-term, healthy solution for pet-friendly yards.

On most lawns, fighting unwanted weeds is a long-standing problem. The gentle spring breeze brings weed seeds to an original yard where they will germinate and germinate quickly. Depending on the type of weeds that invade the grass, remedial measures may require labor-intensive spraying of individual weeds, or in the worst case, killing the entire lawn and reseeding to remove the weeds. Artificial turf does not have such problems, so there is no need to use chemicals or spend a lot of time weeding.

Children are not known for being gentle when they play and run around in the yard. Whether they are playing football or jumping off a swing, hard ground cannot provide the softest landing. Fortunately, the ProPLAY series of Artificial Turf Supply creates a safe gaming environment due to its soft surface, which is ideal for use in a family-friendly backyard or under playground equipment. Not only does this turf look great, but it also has a less abrasive surface than other materials commonly found underneath amusement equipment, such as gravel or wood chips. The ProPlay lawn model can withstand the violent wear and tear of the youngest family members while providing the look and feel of natural grass.

Fuel, lawn mower maintenance, lawn chemicals, water bills, and all other ongoing costs associated with growing grass are not a problem for artificial turf. Once the turf is in place, expensive maintenance and upkeep will be a thing of the past. Homeowners can have lush lawns without recurring expenses. 

Instead of throwing money into a yard that never meets your expectations, it is better to switch to artificial turf. Get free samples from the artificial turf supplier and start your lawn journey to learn about the look and feel of the new yard.
