Choosing between installing artificial grass, also known as synthetic turf, and natural grass can be a difficult decision for some homeowners. While you may be drawn to natural grass for its feel and organic look, there are a number of benefits to choosing synthetic turf that may make you think twice. If you are too busy to upkeep your lawn, turf provides less maintenance and a longer lifespan compared to traditional grass. It\u2019s also typically created from recycled materials, comes in a variety of textures and colors, and even has the potential to <\/span>increase your home value<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

In some locations, it might even make sense to install artificial grass over natural grass. For example, if you live in a city that has a hot and dry climate such as <\/span>Las Vegas, NV<\/span><\/a> or <\/span>Austin, TX<\/span><\/a>, having turf can prevent your lawn from wilting and dying due to the amount of sun those cities get annually. However, if you\u2019re set on using natural grass for your lawn, there are still many creative and aesthetically pleasing ways to incorporate artificial grass into your lawn. Take a look at these 8 ideas on how you can work with a synthetic turf company to beautify your yard.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

1. Install a synthetic turf golf green\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Your short game is just as important as your long, so installing an artificial grass putting green is the perfect way to get some practice without leaving your home. Golf greens are easy to install and can be customizable. Typically, they are around 1,000-1,500 square feet. For best results, source out an area that is flat, has minimal bumps and extrusions, and gets just the right amount of sunlight. A local turf company can then help excavate, cut, and install the artificial grass and holes. Finished with the proper landscaping, golf greens can serve as a stunning backyard feature that is both aesthetic and fun for the whole family.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Build a dog area for play and potty time<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you own a dog and live in a small place like an apartment, having a synthetic turf potty pad for your dog can be a great solution. Typically, they are built with short bristles for cleaning and a drainage system to catch urine. Turf doggy mats are versatile in size and can fit on a sunroom, patio, terrace, or balcony. They are especially great for training puppies or older dogs with bad bladder control. When not in use, synthetic turf potty pads blend in to look like a patch of grass. Not to mention, it saves your real grass from developing brown spots.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you have the outdoor space, you can use turf to create a play area for your pet. Pet-friendly synthetic turf is a great option if you are trying to keep your dog away from natural grass chemicals. Installing artificial grass for pets also helps prevent fleas and ticks, worrying about patches and brown spots, and digging unwanted holes. Give your dog the ability to roll around in the grass without the worry of getting sick.<\/span><\/p>\n

3. Use synthetic turf walls and dividers for privacy\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Fences can be an eyesore. However, they are critical for privacy and to keep intruders out. Installing artificial grass fences or hedges is a great way to maintain privacy, while also elevating the look of your backyard by adding greenery. If you are looking for flexibility, some individual paneled artificial grass fences come on rollers that can be used to section certain parts of your yard if you are hosting a garden party or small get together.<\/span><\/p>\n

4. Make an entertainment area for backyard hangouts\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Do you love to have people over for bonfires, casual wine nights, or backyard parties? Maybe you want to kick your feet up by the fire while you sip on a glass of wine. If you are worried about your feet suffering from uncomfortable surfaces, installing artificial grass around your bonfire pits and patio is a comfortable and stylish solution. Section off a small area, place patio furniture on top, and enjoy a relaxing hangout area on the turf.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

5. Create an elegant driveway<\/span><\/h2>\n

For a touch of added elegance, use synthetic turf in between your driveway to bring in patterns and color to the exterior of your home. Real grass can become compact due to the weight of a car. Installing artificial grass between flagstones or concrete can make your driveway pop and always looks fresh.<\/span><\/p>\n

6. Cover your outdoor furniture with synthetic turf<\/span><\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re tired of boring patio furniture, a fun and unique way to include synthetic turf in your backyard is by purchasing turf-covered furniture<\/a><\/span>. These pieces are designed for outdoor living, are low maintenance, and can be left outside year-round. They are a great way to blend nature with your home and can be designed to look good under a deck, gazebo, fire pit, or play area.<\/span><\/p>\n

7. Design a multipurpose sports field<\/span><\/h2>\n

For the athlete looking for a way to get some practice in, installing an artificial grass sports field in a larger backyard can get you the training you need without having to go to the local park. Multipurpose sports fields can be used for soccer, lacrosse, or even <\/span>spikeball<\/span><\/a> whether you want to increase your skills or just get a friendly game in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

8. Construct a playground\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

When constructing your playground, safety will likely be top of mind. In that case, you\u2019ll want to choose a surface that has some cushion to it and is free of chemicals. Synthetic turf is a great alternative to wood chips or gravel, as it has a soft texture and natural aesthetic feel. You can even include a shock pad underneath turf to reduce fall injuries.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

*Before attempting these projects, consult with a turf professional.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n
