The Beauty And Value Of Quality Artificial Grass

By Enid Hinton


The importance of an outdoor area when it comes to providing beauty and comfort simply cannot be underestimated. These areas have the potential to enhance the value and appeal of any property as they are often the first section that people see as they approach the property. This is why quality artificial grass is such a popular item these days. More and more landscapers and property owners are considering them as a part of their property enhancement projects.

Some commercially produced grass tend to have that fake look. The ones that are made with high quality material and processes closely resemble nature's own work. Many of these lawns resemble natural ones so closely that visitors to the space are often convinced they are grown not bought. This is mostly due to the expertise methods and raw material used to create these items.

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.

Another point of comparison between the two types of lawns is the texture. The lower quality ones tend to have an obviously plastic or rubbery feel and look. The higher quality items will be virtually indiscernible from the product of nature in texture. Material such as nylon and polypropylene are great for this purpose.

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.

Natural grasses allow water to seep through into the earth below and this is another feature that high quality synthetic lawns are able to copy. Manufacturers make the base of the lawn porous by placing holes in it. Through these holes, water drains into the earth below the lawn.

Superior standard lawns must be installed properly in order for the full benefits to be derived. This means first ensuring that the surface to be covered is level. Whether the installer is a landscaper or a do-it-yourself enthusiast the person needs to ensure that the strips are laid down in such a way that no lines are seen. This is best done when the strips themselves are designed to fit seamlessly into each other. A safety matting which sits under the lawn strips is also a great idea for ensuring that the standard of the lawn is maintained after installation.

This type of lawn makes a wonderful investment for anyone who wishes to have the dual advantage of a beautiful and attractive environment. A post installation evaluation will prove that they increase the monetary value of the property. For business operators a distinct advantage lies in the fact that they attract potential investors as well as clients.
