Perhaps you’ve read some of our previous blog posts on artificial grass and are convinced that getting artificial turf installed in your yard is a great option. Maybe you already got in touch with us for a free installation estimate in Los Angeles, CA. But there might be something inside of you that tells you that you’re not quite ready just yet. Or, maybe you still need a bit more convincing.

Either way, there are a few things our Green Turf team would like you to know before you commit to getting synthetic turf installed. Consider the following:

Getting an Artificial Lawn Installed is More Expensive, But in the Long Run You’ll Save More Money.

Too often, property owners are mostly concerned about the upfront costs of anything. If it costs more initially, they don’t want it. If one isn’t willing to put down the extra money for something and would prefer a more affordable alternative, that’s completely understandable. However, unlike many things you pick out for your home and yard, artificial turf is one of the few things that costs more initially but is more affordable to keep over the years.

How? Artificial grass doesn’t require regular waterings or the use of a lawn mower and other pieces of lawn equipment that tend to be expensive to use over the years. To top it off, you don’t have to buy special fertilizers or pesticides to keep your turf in great condition since it looks stunning around the clock!

You’ll Still Have to Maintain Your Fake Grass to an Extent, That is, if You Want it to Last a Long Time.

You’re probably thrilled to learn that synthetic turf doesn’t need to be watered, cut, or treated with chemicals like live grass. That can certainly save you a lot of time. However, there’s still some maintenance we recommend our Green Turf clients to engage in every now and then when it comes to their artificial lawn.

One of the things we tell our clients is to remove debris (e.g., fallen branches, piles of leaves) from their artificial grass every now and then. Spraying off any mud or dust every so often with water can also help keep their turf in top-notch order for many years to come.

Not All Brands and Types of Artificial Turf Provide the Same Quality.

We know what you’re thinking: some varieties of artificial turf are hideous. We agree. The unsettling hues; shiny, cheap appearance; and rough textures of some types of synthetic grass out there are simply not attractive or realistic at the slightest. But the good news is, you have many different artificial turf brands and types of turf to pick among.

At Green Turf in Los Angeles, CA, we only offer and install synthetic turf of the finest quality. We want you to have a good experience with artificial grass and want nothing more than to provide you with a lush, beautiful, realistic-looking lawn that feels and performs like the real thing.
