Let’s admit it — we all have artificial turf envy every time we watch a football game on TV.
So green! No mowing! No weeding!
But how can you use it in your Central Florida backyard?
Lots of cool ways. Need backyard artificial grass ideas? Here you go:
Your pool area is a great place for artificial turf. Why? Grab your unicorn pool float and a frosty drink and ponder these reasons:
Artificial grass is perforated throughout to allow for water to flow through into the drainage base underneath. That means a tidier pool area, with no puddles, mud, or mess.
It resists chemicals. While pool chemicals can kill natural grass, artificial turf around your pool doesn’t care. And what about the chemicals you use on your natural grass? Fertilizer and weed control products can damage your pool filter and contaminate the water if they make their way into the pool. Install artificial turf and erase that worry.
You can get creative with artificial turf, combining it with hardscape for underfoot artwork that makes your backyard landscaping intriguing and unique.
It adds a sense of pattern, a soft place for bare feet to land, and a piece of poolside art, built right in.
Some artificial turf manufacturers carry turf designed specifically for dogs, with extra features like a flow-through backing for maximum drainage and antimicrobial technology built into the blades.
But even regular artificial turf products can work if you have a dog.
Why is this backyard artificial turf idea worth howling about?
Easy cleanup. Dog urine can be easily washed out of the turf to maintain a clean surface. Scoop the poop, then just spray that area with water. Any stains can be washed with mild soap and water.
Fewer fleas and bugs. Bugs aren’t interested in artificial turf. That means fewer of them on your pooch.
No dirt or mud to get messy. That means fewer baths after outdoor play.
Add artificial turf for a kid-friendly backyard where you can safely install a playset and a trampoline without fear of knee scrapes and injury-causing tumbles. And no worries about your teen-ager grumbling about mowing the lawn. No mowing!
Artificial turf means no watering, mowing, fertilizing, or weeding. An occasional rinse with water will help keep it clean. You can easily remove any dirt and debris with a blower, brush, or sweeper.
Practice your short game right from the comfort of your own backyard.
