Buying Artificial Turf Based on Price  

Accept the fact that artificial turf is expensive and will not be found on the clearance shelf. Artificial grass is a considerable investment for your home and needs to stay up-to-par for up-to 15 years in order to be worth the investment and improve home value. Cheap artificial turf may look great on the surface but it is missing the materials that make it quality product. Cheap artificial grass will easily fall apart, fade and flatten. When this happens you will have to completely replace the artificial turf which costs more money and time. It is much easier to buy a good, quality product instead of settling for price-efficient.

Choosing Artificial Grass From a Sample

A sample of artificial grass will not give you the real representation of how it will look once it is present on your lawn. A small sample will appear lush and plump will long blades of grass. In reality, the real artificial turf will contain short blades and be more spread out. When looking through samples, know the look you want across your entire lawn. If you want longer blades with a plusher look, choose a sample with longer blades. Artificial grass automatically feels shorter than real grass. Once you complete your yard with décor, the turf will appear shorter.

Selecting the Wrong Base

The right base will ensure your artificial grass will not get wrinkles and will not hold water. It is necessary that artificial grass have proper excavation. Using sub-base materials with a tight and porous substrate for drainage is the ideal layout for your base. An unbalanced base can create shifting, pot holes, wrinkling and poor drainage. Even something as simple as the incorrect depth and wrong crushed rock type for your land can cause issues.

It is also essential to have a proper pet deodorant for your pets and other animals.
