3 Biggest Mistakes When Choosing Artificial Turf

 3 Biggest Mistakes: Artificial Turf

Artificial turf has grown in popularity over the years due to its functionality, durability, and sustainability. However, choosing the wrong turf for your commercial and residential projects can be devastating to the end result. In this article, we review the 3 biggest mistakes businessowners and homeowners make when choosing artificial turf. 

#1 Environmental Consideration

Impact

New production of artificial turf can have a significant impact on the environment. If you have environmental concerns, considering a more eco-friendly option will be the right choice for you. At TurfCycle, we sell used turf so there is no need for new production, making it an environmentally-friendly option and will cost less too. 

Local Climate

Did you know that the artificial turf that you choose could be impacted by your local climate? It can. You should consider things like the varying temperatures, sunlight exposure, and rainfall. 

#2 Neglecting Maintenance

Regular Cleaning

The longevity of your artificial turf depends heavily on the upkeep of it. Compared to natural grass, artificial turf is quite easy to maintain. By removing the debris and brushing your turf from time to time will keep it vibrant and functional for years to come. 

Chemical-Use

Artificial turf does not require chemicals of any kind. By spraying chemicals on your turf can change the color and affect the durability of your turf. 

#3 Faulty Installation

DIY

The proper installation of artificial turf includes base preparation, stretching, and sealing the seams to ensure a functioning and sustainable surface. By choosing DIY installation and not having the experience and the know-how can have a large impact on the overall look of your project and the sustainability. 

Base Prep

Skipping the necessary steps to prep the surface that your artificial turf will be installed on could cause bumps, drainage issues, and possible weed growth and inconsistencies. Proper preparation includes drainage, weed control, and compacting the soil. 

Artificial turf is a great option for many projects and business types.
