Guide To Installing Artificial Turf Florida

By Paul Olson


The appearance of a property can significantly be improved when a lush green lawn is installed. Whether you own a commercial or residential property, you can improve its appearance and monetary value by simply hiring a competent landscaper to install either a synthetic or natural lawn. When in need of artificial turf Florida residents should only consider hiring experienced installers.

The main benefit of a synthetic lawn is the low maintenance. In fact, these lawns do not need any type of maintenance as they do not grow. This makes them convenient as well as cost effective to have. If you are looking for a hassle-free lawn that looks great all year round, this type of lawn is for you.

Artificial turf materials usually come with a lifespan of around 15 years. However, high traffic and poor use can reduce the lifespan. If properly installed and used, most synthetic lawns can last over two decades. Since natural lawns must be renovated every 3-5 years, and require a lot of maintenance, you can recoup the installation cost in just 6-7 years from reduced maintenance and renovation costs.

Compared to natural lawns, the cost of installing a synthetic lawn is usually quite high. This is because you have to purchase the material and pay for installation. The process of preparing the ground for synthetic grass installation is also costly as a base has to be created. When you decide to install this type of grass, therefore, you need to make the necessary financial arrangements to meet the installation cost.

A base must be created on the ground where the turf will be installed. This is usually done by clearing the entire area and compacting the ground. Any tree stumps, top soil, rocks and plants, including grass, must be removed before compaction starts. Pieces of crushed rocks are then spread throughout the entire space and compacted before being smoothed. The end result is a stable 4-inch thick surface that can act as the base for the synthetic lawn.

Every major city in the state of Florida has dozens of qualified landscape installers. This means that the only way to find the best contractor for the job is to do a thorough comparison of their business, previous projects, reputation cost and experience among other things. Ideally, you should give top priority to experienced service providers with a great track record of installing synthetic lawns properly.

Installation costs usually depend on a variety of factors. For instance, the type of installer you choose will affect the cost. Ideally, you should give priority consideration to firms that quote the lowest costs for the project. However, you will need to confirm that the quote is inclusive of everything, including taxes and insurance premiums among other things.

Landscapers normally have a portfolio through which they showcase their skills and talents by displaying their best works. By going through the pictures included in the portfolio, you can easily identify the most competent landscape installer in the city. Ideally, you should shortlist all the firms that have managed to design landscapes that meet all your needs and expectations.
