The Advantages of Artificial Turf

Artificial turf is a great low maintenance alternative for lawns, play areas, and softscapes in general. Among the advantages of artificial turf are that it’s kid-friendly, pesticide-free, seasonless, and long-lasting. It also maintains its colour and consistency, offering a perennially green look and soft feel year-round. Where grass areas require a ton of upkeep like watering, fertilizing, mowing, and pesticides, turf is a one-and-done installation followed by the occasional clean and fluff.

Another pro of artificial turf is its range and customizability. Our Synthetic Grass & Composite (SGC) turfs come in a variety of consistencies, pile heights, and densities for you to choose from. Tall, dense options like our Luxury Lawn or Elite turfs are perfect for most residential areas, while short, low density options like our Poly Green turf are great for gyms or putting spaces. All our turfs come in 12-foot wide rolls and are available at a variety of price points. It’s important you choose the right turf for the job, so make sure to give us a call if you have any questions or, better yet, check out our outdoor display to see for yourself.

For all the pros of artificial turf, there are still some steps you’ll need to take to keep your turf clean and tidy. Use a leaf blower to clear away foreign objects and break out the hose for really tough debris like animal waste. Occasionally apply some of our Cleaner & Deodorizer to keep your turf fresh. You can also fluff your turf with a bristle broom if it starts to get matted in high-traffic areas. Depending on your lawn base, there is a chance you’ll need to pull a weed or two. Still, turf requires nowhere near the maintenance demanded by a natural lawn.

Laying artificial turf can be challenging work for a DIYer, especially if you’re working alone. Our DIY Center is always available for consultation so that your turf space turns out just as seamless as you imagine. To skip any hiccups and guarantee a great finished product, we can also refer one of the many professional contractors we work with. No matter how you lay it, you can rest easy knowing you have an easy-to-maintain, great-looking turf for years to come.

Oh, and if you’re buying turf, we recommend one of our favourite turf accessories: the simple-to-install EZGolf Kit, so you can tee off or putt with family or friends right in your own yard.
