How To Avoid Spring Lawn Struggles with Artificial Turf

If you’re tired of allergies, mud puddles, and itchy mosquito bites, artificial turf installation offers a cost-effective solution! This innovative landscaping alternative provides the visual allure of natural grass without the hassle, helping homeowners maximize their spring satisfaction. Read on to learn how synthetic grass installation can elevate your spring season!

Keep Your Lawn Clean and Dry

Spring isn’t just about warmer weather; it’s also a time of excessive downpours, which can lead to soggy or waterlogged yards. Natural grass has inefficient drainage and can easily transform from a pristine oasis into a wet wasteland of puddles and muddy patches. While this is bad enough to look at, it can also attract bacteria and pests!

Artificial grass installation protects your lawn from spring rains thanks to its ultra-efficient drainage capabilities. Synthetic turf products feature porous backings and, when combined with drainage grids, can drain anywhere from 30-400 inches of rain per hour per square yard. Thanks to advanced residential turf, you can enjoy a dry, bacteria-free yard all spring long!

Prevent Pest Infestations

By keeping your lawn consistently dry, you’ll also discourage pests from turning your home into theirs! Common spring pests like mosquitoes and ticks prefer landscapes with excessive moisture, especially if you have standing water puddles. These pests are more than a nuisance; they can spread diseases to pets and children, like Lyme disease and more!

The artificial turf installation process includes removing topsoil, which contains nutrients pests require. Professional turf installers will replace the nutrient-rich soil with compacted stone, creating an unattractive environment for mosquitoes and other unwanted guests.

Minimize Seasonal Allergies

Believe it or not, natural grass produces the majority of seasonal allergens, which cause everything from sneezing to itchy eyes. You aren’t the only one to suffer, either, as your pets can experience similar allergy symptoms. Luckily, switching to hypoallergenic residential turf eliminates a significant source of allergens, creating a more comfortable environment for the whole family! 

Synthetic grass products are also easier to clean, as pollen and other particles won’t stick to their slick surface like they do natural grass. Simply rinse your landscape occasionally to remove pollen, mold spores, and other allergens. Expert turf installers can also incorporate weed barriers to prevent these invasive growths, another significant source of allergens.

Save Your Floors from Muddy Paws

If you have pets, spring rains can cause another problem: muddy paws. Many pet owners know the struggle — you’ve just cleaned your pup, and now they’ve rolled around in mud puddles, ruining your hard work and tracking mud through your clean house. However, the ultra-efficient drainage of pet-friendly artificial grass products eliminates the frustration of mud puddles.

The absence of topsoil and efficient drainage prevents puddle build-up, which in turn prevents the creation of mud in your lawn. Spend less time cleaning up after your furry friend and more time enjoying playtime outdoors!
