Artificial turf can be used for much more than just creating a beautiful lawn or landscape. There are projects that both homeowners and business owners can do using artificial grass for fun and functionality, and with the added bonus of increasing the value of their home and business.
Here are 5 uses for your artificial turf:
Playground
Artificial turf is the perfect solution for adding a playground to parks or even your yard. It is safe for children, can be installed with extra padding for kids who love to play on the monkey bars, and is incredibly durable. Playground turf is designed to look like real grass, is bug resistant, low maintenance and eco-friendly. You’re able to provide a safe and clean environment for family fun.
Dog run
Your dog’s happiness and safety are your top priority as a pet owner. Pet turf is anti-bacterial. While you will still have to pick up your dog’s poop you won’t have to worry about unsightly brown spots or bacteria on your lawn. The fake grass is non-toxic and has perforations that allow the urine to drain through. Simply hose off your pet’s favorite bathroom spots.
Artificial grass is also comfortable and sensitive to your pups’ paws. The only downside is that installation can be time consuming for a larger space. In the long run, however, pet turf is low maintenance and doesn’t require you to mow or weed, allowing you more time to play with your pooch.
As a business owner, if you own a dog park, grooming salon, or doggy daycare installing fake grass in your business will save you time and money down the line. You will waste less of your time cleaning up after your client’s pets and have more time to focus on building and running your business.
Indoor green spaces
If you own a gym, artificial turf can create the perfect space for indoor sports to take place. It is nonabrasive and provides the traction athletes need to make movements that won’t injure themselves. It also can withstand wear and tear, even from spikes. Gym turf is durable and withstands heavy use. You won’t have to worry about weights ruining your gym floor. There is also the added benefit of sound absorbency, so you won’t have to hear as much clinking and clanking from the weights. You could also use the same turf for a home gym.
Using a section of pet turf inside your house as a pet potty can also add functionality as well as color to your home. If you’re stuck at work, or your dog refuses to go out in the rain, you can use a small section of artificial grass as a bathroom pad.
Artificial grass also works well in playrooms for easy clean-up. It’s a safe and comfortable replacement for carpet. It would also work well in heavily trafficked transitional areas from indoors to outdoors, protecting your carpet from wear and tear. Some people even use fake grass to cover furniture and as a wall accent. This is definitely a more personal choice and can be done if it fits your personality and needs.
With pavers
If you’re installing pavers as part of your landscape design, artificial grass can add color and dimension to your space. These design elements would pair well with a fire pit, patio or pool area, providing a natural look without the mess of soil or rogue weeds. When you install your fake grass with pavers, you can provide a sophisticated and upgraded feel to your landscape.
Golf putting green
Artificial grass can be designed low pile, to allow golf balls to roll true. With its thin surface and tight pile, it allows the ball to roll and stop, unlike real grass. Installing an artificial putting green in your home or business is low maintenance and stays forever green. The indoor putting green can be used to practice at home, for parties, or to just have fun teaching the kids to golf in the safety of your home. Improving your short game has never been so easy!
