Natural Lawns vs Artificial Grass

If you’re tired of working diligently to maintain your lawn only to have it be brown and patchy, allow artificial grass to transform your home. Sacramento residents have made artificial grass an immensely popular landscaping solution in recent years due to its aesthetic appeal and low maintenance requirements. Unlike natural grass lawns, artificial grass stays evergreen and beautiful all year long while saving you hundreds of dollars on water bills and maintenance fees.

Enhanced Curb Appeal

The biggest reason that most homeowners make the switch to artificial grass is for visual appeal. Artificial grass stays lush, evenly colored, and evergreen through any season. Natural grass lawns require almost daily watering in order to stay green, and they can still easily become patchy if they receive high levels of foot traffic. Artificial grass lawns, however, will never lose their color due to maintenance, weather, or heavy use. You can maintain your curb appeal 365 days a year with synthetic turf courtesy of Fenix.

Low Maintenance 

Another major reason that customers switch to artificial grass is to eliminate the time and costs associated with regular maintenance. Natural grass lawns require daily watering, weekly mowing, monthly fertilizing, and seasonal re-sodding. Synthetic grass, however, requires none of this. With artificial grass, you can eliminate your weekly landscaping bill, and your water bill will cost a fraction of what it did with a natural lawn. The only maintenance required for synthetic turf is an occasional rinse down to clear away dust and a monthly cross-brushing. Being able to save dozens of hours and hundreds of dollars on maintenance is more time and money you can spend on yourself and your family.

Weather Resistant

Artificial grass is the perfect landscaping solution for any terrain, weather, or season. Whether you endure blisteringly hot and dry summers, torrential downpours in winter, or both, artificial grass can withstand it all. Our artificial grass products are all installed with an ultra-efficient drainage system that allows over 30 inches of water to drain per hour per square yard. This means that no matter how bad this storm season is, your lawn will remain perfect after it’s over. There’s no need to worry about flooding, mud, or re-sodding; your turf will be completely intact and dry in just a matter of hours. On the other hand, dry summers are nothing to worry about either. Water isn’t required to maintain artificial turf’s evergreen appearance, so lack of rain is even less of a problem than excessive rain. UV inhibitors are built into the grass to prevent color fading in the sunlight, and some products even incorporate TigerCool temperature-control technology.

Great for Kids & Pets

If you have children or pets at home, artificial turf is the perfect solution. Natural grass lawns can become dead and patchy with all of the running around, and dogs can dig mud hole after mud hole, ruining your yard. With artificial grass, these are all worries of the past. Artificial grass has a non-abrasive surface that prevents scrapes and scratches when your kids are playing. Their infill product also replaces the dirt in natural grass lawns, so there’s no more dirty clothes, muddy paws, or digging. Its durability is great for little ones, as they can run and play to their heart’s content without you needing to worry about brown spots. For a family-friendly lawn, switch to artificial grass.

Utilizing Artificial Turf for Play Areas

Whether you want a play area for your home, your school district, or your Sacramento municipality, enhanced safety with maintained aesthetic appeal is always going to be the goal. You want your kids to have fun on their jungle gym and stay as safe as possible while doing it. With artificial grass, your kids can have endless playtime while you have peace of mind. Softer, cleaner and safer surfaces are just a few of the numerous benefits of choosing artificial grass for your play area.

Safer Surfaces

One of the biggest reasons why artificial grass is perfect for play areas is because of its safety features. Synthetic turf play systems are specially designed to be safe for kids and protect them from scrapes and falls. We install all of our turf products with an eco-friendly foam padding underneath which is proven to protect children from impact falls and injuries from up to 10 feet high. All of our play area synthetic turf products are IPEMA-certified and meet or exceed all standards set by the American Society for Testing and Materials, so you can be confident that your kids are protected at play. 

Cleaner Environment

Our playground installations also feature an antimicrobial infill that prevents bacteria growth and keeps your playground cleaner and more sanitary. Infill acts as a non-toxic, non-absorbent synthetic soil that fills the space between blades. It’s composed of green silicone dioxide granules that are cooler under the sun than black rubber and are more sanitary than silica. They can not only prevent the spread of germs from one child to another, but it can also inhibit pet urine odor and help keep the area sanitary if your home or park contains kids and pets.

Enhanced Appearance & Durability

One reason why many Sacramento homes and businesses choose artificial grass for their playground landscaping is due to its combined durability and visual appeal. It’s just as durable as woodchips or rubber flooring, but with a much more natural and beautiful appearance. You can maintain your lush, green backyard space without needing to incorporate unsightly rubberized landscaping options or sacrificing any of the safety and durability benefits that they offer. Synthetic turf for play areas is specially engineered to withstand high foot traffic and won’t experience any matting, breaking, or discoloration. You can let kids run and play to their heart’s content without worrying about the effect on your outdoor space.

With superior aesthetics, performance, and safety features to real grass, synthetic turf is the natural choice for residential and commercial play areas. With no need for daily watering or regular maintenance, you can save thousands of dollars each year while simultaneously keeping your kids safe and your property beautiful.
