Homeowners and those that enjoy a green turf know that landscaping can come with a hefty price tag to keep a lawn looking its best year round. From cutting grass to keeping it pest and weed free, maintaining an outdoor space can eat up your wallet, time and energy. Artificial grasses have been an alternative for many years, but most shun away from these options because fake grass looks, well, fake. Thanks to technology and over a decade of research and development, MegaGrass has developed synthetic turf that not only looks and feels like the real thing but is packed with a host of added benefits its natural counterpart could never live up to. Durable and versatile, this turf is ready to complement all of your outdoor needs. From putting greens to playpens, sports turf and patio decor, this aesthetically pleasing grass can outfit any area in and out of your home.\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eWhen researching synthetic grass options, appearance is a major concern. It’s important to get the right color combination, texture and permeability to ensure the lawn fits your design needs. But what can sometimes be overlooked is the quality of the grass blades. These wavy green soldiers are designed in many ways to deflect light for cooler temperatures, provide a bouncy softness for extra cushioning or lay tight and flat for a competitive athletic game. You’ll want to make sure that when you select a grass patch for an outdoor area that the blades support your long-term goals for maximum effectiveness.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eWhat would you like to use your artificial grass for?

If you’re looking to get rid of lawn chores and lower your lawn maintenance expenses, installing artificial grass can be a smart option for you. Durable and long-lasting, fake grass is a great investment for spaces you intend to spend a lot of time in. It’s also an excellent option in climates where the grass is sparse, as in the Nevada and Arizona deserts. From dog lovers to sports enthusiasts, artificial grass caters to a wide range of people, activities, and uses. Get the look and feel of real grass without the recurring costs and maintenance that goes into its upkeep. Even better, the environment can benefit from your choice, removing the emissions of carbon dioxide fuels that are released when mowing the lawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow to lay artificial grass?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eWhen done properly, laying artificial grass can lead to owning a beautiful, low maintenance lawn that will last for decades. By following these three foundational steps, you’ll learn how to lay artificial grass correctly and with minimal issue. The first step is to prepare the area. This includes removing any weeds down to the root, as well as removing the top layer of soil if you plan on laying synthetic grass over dirt. Drainage is key, so if your natural landscape allows sufficient draining, you’re set! But if not, you’ll need to consider installing a drainage system to avoid any slippery accidents in the long run. To keep the grass from slumping, install a barrier as well. The next step is to install the base, which can vary in material depending on your environment. After you have graded the base, wet it slightly to prepare it for compaction. Begin unfurling the lawn while the base dries to allow it to reshape itself. The last step is to install the lawn. The most important piece here is to stretch, not drag the lawn over your base. This will help prevent any rough edges and keep the surface smooth.

High-quality grass involves extensive research and careful development into how the grass will perform over time and under certain conditions. While you may be able to find turf for sale that costs less, the quality of the grass you get may cause you to replace it after a few years, or worse, a few months. Investing in high performing synthetic grass will help your home look its best for years to come. If you’re having troubling justifying the artificial grass price, you can always opt in for financing alternatives. Many manufacturers work with your budget to make sure your landscaping dreams come true.

It requires no mowing, watering or fertilizing. But it does require some care. Since the grass is exposed to outside elements, dust can get in between the blades. With an occasional rake to keep the leaves at bay and a brush to keep the blades standing up, you won’t have to spend too much time keeping your lawn in perfect condition. For bigger messes like puppy waste, barbeque cleanup or other outdoor leftovers, a quick soapy wash can do the trick. In the same way you wipe down a countertop after cooking, fake grass can be washed occasionally with mild detergent and water. Thanks to its high permeability levels, the grass will also return back to its dry state quickly so that you can get back outside to enjoy your lawn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe MegaGrass Difference\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/megagrass.com\/pages\/mg-difference\"\u003eBacked by a fifteen-year warranty\u003c\/a\u003e, MegaGrass products are guaranteed to last longer than our competitors and are customized for your needs.

Even before that, people in Africa thousands of years ago settled where turfgrasses were low in the savannas, which allowed them to hunt or see approaching danger with ease. By the medieval times, Europeans filled the areas around castles with grass so that watchmen could scan the horizon for people heading toward them. During the 15th century, ornamental lawns started to pop up at private residences and in parks. Today, a lawn is no longer considered a status symbol and is common at private residences around the world. However, some experts believe it's time for this to change. Is artificial grass the answer?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2.

Real grass requires watering to maintain a healthy appearance, and many homeowners water their lawns for about 20 minutes per day. That is the equivalent of taking more than 800 showers in seven-day period. When you pair that with the fact that a Government Accountability Report from 2014 showed that 40 state water managers expected a shortage in the next decade, it's easy to see why a real lawn is bad for the environment in terms of water usage.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eIt isn't just water that experts worry about, either.

Regulation of emissions from garden equipment engines didn't occur until the late 1990s, which means that people using older machines are releasing an even higher amount of carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides and other pollutants into the area. Even new mowers create enough emissions in one hour of use equivalent to driving 11 new cars for the same amount of time. That doesn't even include the gas that homeowners spill as they try to fill their own mowers. more than 17 million gallons of gasoline and other fuels leech into the ground and make their way into water supplies each year. You must also consider ozone alert days since most lawn maintenance occurs during summer months.

They're comfortable for relaxing on the weekends and add curb appeal to homes, which is often important for those who plan to sell. The solution is to help homeowners find sustainable landscape ideas. One such idea is the use of artificial grass. Fake grass is comprised of synthetic fibers that look like the real thing. They are most common in areas where sports are played, but an increasing number of business owners and homeowners are turning to it as a solution for the environmental problems brought on by real lawns.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eAlthough it's only started getting more attention in the past decade or two, artificial grass is not a new idea. In fact, it's been around since the 1960s when the Astrodome in Houston, Texas, used it for its second season. It had tried natural grass in 1965 but found it couldn't keep the grass alive and painted it green to maintain appearances for the second half of the season. In April 1966, the stadium installed a limited supply of AstroTurf on the infield. By July of the same year, the entire field was artificial grass, and by the 1970s, it was common in indoor and outdoor sports arenas alike.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eDespite its benefits, artificial grass didn't grow in commercial and residential landscaping until the 1990s.

Since you will no longer need to use a gas-powered mower on your lawn, you'll stop contributing to the rise in air pollution, and your neighbors will likely appreciate the lack of noise pollution at 10:00 a.m. on a Saturday as well. Fake grass also does not require fertilizers or weed killers that may use toxic chemicals to keep it looking healthy, which means it is safer for kids and pets. Finally, you'll save roughly 55 gallons of water per square foot each year. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/www.thelawninstitute.org\/pages\/education\/lawn-maintenance\/mowing-basic\/\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003eThe Lawn Institute estimates the average lawn at 10,000 square feet\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: #444444;\"\u003e.

When you factor in the money you'll save on new mowers, fuel for them, fertilizers, watering and other maintenance costs for a natural lawn, an artificial one more than pays for itself. You'll also save plenty of time. Imagine how much more fulfilling your weekend will be when you can swim with the kids, read a good book or simply relax on the couch instead of mowing, weeding and performing other maintenance tasks all day.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5.

Business owners who use it show they care about the environment and maintain a gorgeous property all year without needing to pay hefty landscaping bills. In sports and on playgrounds, fake grass is easier on the joints and safer when people fall.
