A Pretty Nice Green

/in /by

One way to appreciate the potential of synthetic turf for an outdoor lawn or space is to actually get some pictures and look at how nice this looks when it’s installed. Think about it – this can be a great solution for any kind of residential or business use. 

Shades of Green

Some people think of artificial turf as having a kind of disgusting neon lime shade of green to it. Maybe they had a bad experience with the stuff in the 80s, or just think of it as inferior to that lush green color of natural grass.

In reality, you can get very nice muted greens for an outdoor space that look elegant and classy, not like a low-rent mini golf course or a cheap hotel!

Golfing and More

People also fail to appreciate the broad use and application of synthetic turf these days. They might be familiar with using it for a putting green, but what about a dog park or outdoor fitness area? What about a nice outdoor quad for a high-end college campus?

Really, you could dress the stuff up and take it anywhere. It’s not just for low-end properties or a relic of a bygone era. It’s really a good alternative to mowing a lawn, which is now looking more and more like an antiquated waste of time and money. 

Which brings us to our next point…

The Planet and You

Here’s one major reason why a lot of people are changing their opinions on synthetic or artificial turf.

We’re kind of in a bind when it comes to our carbon footprint and its impact on the planet.

The climate science is getting more dire and people are trying to create solutions.

Now think about installing a nice artificial turf where there used to be grass. No more spraying, no more mowing – hardly any maintenance at all. You’re saving massive amounts of time and money, which is good from a business or property management perspective, but you’re also saving all of that energy which is related to jobs that are conventionally done with tools using fossil fuels.

So think about artificial turf – it can be a pretty nice green for your property. Ask us about  how affordable it can be to choose and install synthetic turf on your property, and everything that it will bring to your home or business. You’ll be surprised at the options that you have, and how they can dress up a property’s exterior!

The Benefits of Installing Artificial Turf Around Your Swimming Pool

The Benefits of Installing Artificial Turf Around Your Swimming Pool

/in /by

The summer heat in Texas can get quite brutal. One of the best ways to beat the heat temporarily is by taking a dip in a swimming pool. Over 10 million homes in the United States have a pool. If you are lucky enough to have a pool right outside of your back door, keeping the area around this investment appealing should be a top priority.

Having a lush green landscape around your pool can make the outside of your home much more appealing. Instead of using actual grass in this area, you need to consider investing in artificial turf. Below are some of the benefits that come with installing artificial turf around your swimming pool.

Avoid Tracking Mud All Over the Place

Most pool owners are quite familiar with common moves like the swan dive or cannonball. When these moves are performed correctly, lots of water will fly out of the pool. This can lead to puddles of water developing, which can be problematic if your pool is surrounded by actual grass. Not only will these puddles be damaging to the grass, it can also result in the formation of mud.

Tracking mud from your pool into your home can be a very aggravating experience. If you are tired of your walkways and the interior of your home being covered in mud, then it is time to find an effective solution to this problem. One of the best ways to say goodbye to this problem for good is by investing in artificial turf. Not only will this lack of mud help you keep your home clean, it will also keep your pool much cleaner.

Artificial Grass Won’t Allow Water To Pool

The last thing any homeowner wants is for the area around their pool to look like a large mud puddle. Whether you are dealing with rain or overflowing water from your pool, proper draining is the only way to avoid these puddles. The perforated backing on artificial turf allows for water to flow through with ease.

This means you will not have to worry about the aggravation and damage caused by puddles of water. The initial cost of artificial turf will be worth it due to the appeal and functionality it will provide.

The Durability Factor

Natural grass is appealing but is also fragile when exposed to high levels of foot traffic. If this foot traffic occurs when the natural grass is wet, it can result in large chunks being torn from your landscaping. Not only will this make the landscaping around your pool unappealing, it will also allow for more water to pool in this area. This is why you need to invest in artificial turf. This covering is extremely durable, which means it will look great for years to come with a limited amount of maintenance.

Are you ready to put artificial grass around your pool? If so, then it is time to put the team at Texas Custom Turf to work.
