Many people don't like all the work it takes to make their lawn look decent. Mowing, watering and fertilising can take up a lot of your time. That's why many people are switching to synthetic lawn? In Australia, synthetic grass has become more popular because it gives you a low-maintenance lawn that always looks great. But with so many options available, how do you choose the lawn that's right for you, so that you get a lawn that looks real. A lawn that is indistinguishable from your neighbor's real grass.
Consider the Colour of the Grass
One thing you need to think about before choosing your synthetic lawn is the colour. The old Astroturf was only available in one glaring shade of green. People were able to instantly tell when someone had an artificial lawn installed. Today's synthetic lawns are available in a large range of colours. You can choose the shade of green that looks the most natural for your particular lawn. You can even match the colour of your current lawn to the synthetic lawn you'll be installing. Some of the synthetic turf even has artificial blades of grass that look like dried blades of grass, in order to make the lawn look more realistic. You can design a lawn ina colour that works for your yard.
Choose the Right Variety of Synthetic Turf
The next feature to consider when choosing synthetic grass is the different varieties available. You can choose blades of grass of varying lengths, which also come in a number of different widths. This allows you to mimic the different varieties of natural grasses, such as couch grass or buffalo grass. When you choose the synthetic grass, make sure you select one that looks like your natural lawn, or one that looks like other lawns in your area. This will allow your lawn to fit in and look more like real grass. You don't want to put a warm weather species of grass in a cold climate.
Consider How Soft The Lawn Should Feel
The final consideration for your synthetic lawn is the softness of the grass. Synthetic grasses can range from firm underfoot to soft and springy. If you don't use your yard regularly, then a hard lawn may be sufficient. However, if you have children or pets who play in the yard you want a springy lawn, similar to a real one. A soft lawn also doesn't heat up when the sun is beating down on it.
The most important thing to remember when shopping for your synthetic lawn is to make sure you get one that will last. Start be looking at artificial grasses that come with a warranty that lasts for 10 years or more. A good synthetic lawn will last at least 20 years before it starts to show signs of wear and looking bad. A reputable installer can help install the grass properly, which can help with how soft the grass feels, how it looks, and how long it lasts.
