Things You Should Know About Synthetic Grass
If you are living in one of the areas of Australia that have suffered the effects of the latest drought but would still love to feel a lush, green lawn under your feet? Well, Synthetic Grass may be the answer. Synthetic Grass has improved steadily of the years and now looks just as good, if not better, than the real thing. But are they all the same.
Synthetic grass can be used almost anywhere. From full sun, to heavily shaded areas, often in areas where real grass will not grow. It also works great on sloping land, around the swimming pool, even on a balcony and stands up well if you have pets and children. It's also popular for people that suffer from grass allergies.
Synthetic Grass is as low maintenance as other surface such as pavers, and once it’s laid, you'll never need to water, fertilise, trim or mow the lawn like you would with real grass. Not only will you be helping to save precious water supplies, you’ll be helping the environment and saving yourself money and freeing up your valuable time. You'll be able to relax and enjoy your garden, rather than having to spend your time on weekends maintaining the lawn. Maintenance would consist of a brush with a broom occasionally.
When installing Synthetic Grass, it all about having a good firm base. The base is usually prepared from crushed rock which is compressed until the required firmness has been achieved. The installer must take into account the lay on the land and any drainage issues pertaining to the property. Once the grass has been laid, sand and/or granulated rubber is swept in to Synthetic Grass to help secure the grass and make the Synthetic Grass feel as natural as possible.
The Synthetic Grass is made from either polypropylene or polyethylene and is extremely stain resistant. However, when it comes to any messes they should be promptly cleaned up by scraping it off the surface then mopping or wiping it up. When selecting a Synthetic Grass ensure that there's been a UV additive included in the raw material. The UV additive ensures that the Synthetic Grass can resist fading and any deterioration caused by sunlight. Manufacturer Warrantees do vary from 5 - 7 years but most agree this is a conservative estimate.
Always ensure you speak to a specialist supplier/installer of Synthetic Grass in the first instance.
