How to Use Artificial Turf to Liven Your Home’s Landscaping

The warm weather in Cocoa Beach, FL, encourages outdoor living. Abundant greenery is pleasing to the eye. Nevertheless, landscaping designs can get old over time, and the cost of maintaining them can be prohibitive. If your grounds no longer inspire you, consider a landscaping makeover with artificial turf.

Stop Watering Your Lawn

With artificial turf, the cost of watering your lawn is eliminated. You no longer need a sprinkler system. Your overall water bill is reduced. Natural lawns are almost always thirsty, but artificial turf never is.

Get Rid of Pests and Eliminate Disease

Natural predators can cause bright green grass to fade or turn brown. You might notice bald patches or a proliferation of aggressive weeds. Correcting these problems can require the services of a pest control specialist or a plant doctor. Artificial turf, by contrast, has a foundation that’s weed-proof, and it doesn’t attract pests.

Eliminate the Cost of Ongoing Lawn Maintenance

Whether you do it yourself or hire out, maintaining a lawn is a lot of work. It’s also expensive. Lawn maintenance crews have different levels of expertise. Landscapers who are good at what they do typically cost more than run-of-the-mill landscapers. Still, some ho-hum landscapers charge just as much as the good ones while offering little in return.

Do Away With Flooding, Puddles and Mud

Natural grass tends to flood during heavy rains. Excessive downpours can literally destroy your lawn and turn your grounds into a sloppy and slippery mess. Artificial grass doesn’t flood. It repels water and doesn’t get muddy. The better systems include drainage capability that’s built in.
