Improving Appearance And Value With Quality Artificial Grass

By Enid Hinton


Outdoor spaces are prime selling points for residential and commercial properties alike. This is why landscapers are often contracted to ensure that these spaces have precisely the right look. Quality artificial grass helps to enhance the beauty and by extension, make the property more attractive to those who view it.

Artificial grass does not have to look fake. The really high quality ones look very much like natural grass. Many times, these lawns impress individuals who compliment the property owners and managers of maintaining an impeccable lawn not knowing that the cutting, watering and general upkeep has not been done. The elimination of these often tedious and tiring upkeep methods is one of the reasons for the popularity of these grasses.

The color of the synthetic lawn is one feature that manufacturers try to get to be as closely resembling to natural grasses as possible. Any analysis of synthetic lawns should bear in mind, the fact that there are many shades of natural grass though. This means that the success of the attempts relies heavily on the type of lawn that is being imitated.

They also strive to copy, as closely as possible, the texture of natural grasses. Touching low quality fake grass is often like touching rubber or plastic. The ones made from high quality material, using intricately methodical processes tend to feel less abrasive and more natural. Their blades are likely to be made from material such as propylene or nylon.

In addition to being natural in texture, the superior standard lawn also resembles naturally grown ones in thickness. A similar number of strands is used to create these lawns. Manufacturers pay close attention to the number of blades that occupy a certain amount of space in natural grasses and strive to copy it.

These high standard man-made lawns also closely resemble natural ones in terms of drainage. Buyers should investigate to ensure that the product has the holes in the base that allow water to seep through. Products that do not have this may contribute to flooding and the accumulation of water on the surface which leads to a whole gamut of other problems.

The installation process plays a significant role in the standard of the lawn. So whether the installer is an expert or a do-it yourself enthusiast, certain specifications must be met. The first one has to do with the surface to be covered which must be level. The second specification is that the layers must be carefully rolled so that there are no seams in the finished lawn. The better lawn strips already come with an overlapping feature that hides the seams when they are fitted together.

Commercially produced lawn areas are good investments for those who want to make their surroundings more beautiful. This is so because, in addition to making the space easier to use and more inviting, they increase the property value. They also attract more potential investors, customers or purchasers tot he property.
