“It’s always ready, rain or shine!” shared Stefani when asked why she decided to invest in an artificial grass lawn area instead of going “natural”. “We love to play and hang out on our turf! Best part of the yard. I’m not bugging my husband to cut the grass or deal with the weeds before company comes!”
The Norvilles had been considering artificial grass for more than 10 years! “After many years of always having grass, we realized no one likes to play on natural grass! We wanted a totally functional and fun backyard and our Tuffgrass has given us that. We can come out barefoot anytime and have a great surface to walk, run or sit on. Even after a rain, it’s quickly ready for use, again. We never have to deal with bugs, wetness, dirt, and the mess.”
Though drought is no longer a pressing issue here in Northern California, the Norvilles will save over 130,000 gallons of water a year, along with the cost and maintenance of an irrigation system and natural lawn! Saving time on typical maintenance, other than blowing off leaves, during the fall, there’s little upkeep, meaning more time for family fun!.
A job, well done, with state-of-the-art products and quality installation techniques will enhance the value of your landscape, just like any permanent product such as pavers, gardens, patios and pools. “I would highly recommend investing in artificial grass! Natural grass is nothing but money and maintenance and I guarantee it will still never look as good as your artificial grass!”
One of the most important aspects of an artificial grass installation is the site preparation! ALL organic material, roots, grass, weeds, and amended soils must be removed to the native soil layer which is covered with a layer of construction quality soil stabilizing fabric. Once that is complete a 3 to 4 inch layer of permeable crushed aggregate is typically installed and compacted to desired level. Edges are cleaned up and the artificial grass is then laid in place, cut, seamed, anchored and then an acrylic coated silica granule is installed on top of the grass; called infill, this material adds weight to hold the turf materials in place and also hold the blades upright, even under extreme traffic and weather.
