Which Artificial Grass is right for My Lawn

Choosing the Most Realistic Looking Artificial Turf for My Lawn

Everyone wants a lush, vibrant green lawn. Depending on the area you live in, sometimes that is not always a reality. Even if it is a reality, it takes a lot of work to maintain a beautiful green space. For a lush lawn, consider artificial grass.

With the right type of material, you can easily match the natural local grass color of your area. Before choosing an artificial turf do some research on the types of grasses that grow in your region. While you may desire a luxurious yard, you also don’t want to look fake. Below are some ways to choose the most realistic looking artificial grass for your lawn.

Shine and Color

One of the most important parts to choosing artificial turf is determining the right color option for you and how realistic it will appear in your neighborhood and area. Artificial grass can be bright green, dark green or different paler green shades. To ensure the most realistic look it’s best to choose a multicolored blade option. Aside from the color, another aesthetic to consider is the way the grass shines. A lot of artificial turf will sparkle because that it what attracts the eye but in reality, grass is dull. Once you determine the color and shine of your artificial grass, it’s time to consider the thatch. This is the space under the grass blades that still remains visible to the eye. To get the best natural look, browse through the thatch in the grass that is already in your yard.

Shape, Use and Feel

There is more than color and shine that goes into choosing a natural looking artificial turf. You also need to know how it stands up to foot traffic and how it feels on your bare feet. The feel of real grass varies on the region and type. When considering the foot traffic in your lawn, it’s essential to look for an artificial turf with memory. Natural grass will grow back when it is run down, memory artificial grass will not “grow” but return to its original shape. This creates a more realistic look and prevents matting.
