The first question many may have : Is Artificial Turf the right choice for me?
Let’s start off with those who are struggling to keep a regular natural lawn and it is an ongoing losing battle for some. There are some conditions which make it very difficult to keep a natural real lawn and we will go over those circumstances briefly here. The answers you have may help you to determine if you can have a real lawn or if Artificial may be the way to go for you?
Conditions which kill off natural lawns
This is not talking about not cutting a lawn too short and forgetting to fertilize and take care of weed control, or not watering enough or too much. Any of those factors are controllable pretty easily so we are going to talk about the more difficult circumstances which can kill off most any lawn.
1. Heavy Shade : Heavy shade, for a majority of the day is not helpful to keeping a lush green and healthy lawn.
2. Leaves suffocating lawn : If you have trees with a lot of leaves over your lawn area, they have the ability to fall and form a type of blanket on the lawn. This will suffocate your lawn and will kill it off easily. If wishing to keep your lawn healthy, regular and ongoing raking and removal of the leaves will be an important part of keeping your lawn healthy.
3. Heavy Foot traffic : If you have an area that is used often for walking or even for dogs running their route in your yard, that is another instance of wear that lawns will always struggle with to be full in those areas.
4. Drainage problems : If you have a property that is damp or floods often with heavy rains, this factor is another that makes it difficult for lawns to become well rooted. If the lawns struggle to have strong, deeper roots, it is more difficult for the lawn to be full and lush.
To speak about properties with serious drainage challenges, those that have standing water or mold or mildew on the ground more than not throughout the year, it is always advised to deal with those drainage issues. The base preparations for the artificial lawns add a base layer of sand & stone mixtures which help to provide a dryer surface directly below the artificial turf. The depth of the sand & stone is determined by the use and type of artificial turf or greens & also the needs of the property.
The artificial turf installation will help to keep an area green, but if mold and mildew are on the ground, not every property is the same and in some cases, additional underground drainage may be recommended before the turf installation.
Any of these 4 circumstances can kill off a lawn with severe enough conditions, a combination of any of them makes it very difficult to keep a lawn looking nice at your property.
