If you’re a person who loves the look of both trees and artificial turf but is reluctant to incorporate them together because they are incompatible, you’ve likely been exposed to some untrue claims about them. Here are three common myths about growing trees around artificial turf.

Bulging Tree Roots will Ruin your Artificial Turf

While this myth is not completely rooted in fiction because tree types like conifers have roots that push up on the soil over a period of time, property owners do not need to worry too much about this sort of issue. You can grow large trees around your artificial turf and you don’t have to be concerned about any damage or intrusion occurring. Tree roots typically grow downward and spread out in the ground. While some types of trees like conifers will cause trouble to your artificial turf, most will not. 

Cleaning Up Debris from Artificial Turf is Onerous

It’s stated that tasks like raking leaves on artificial turf are not possible or too difficult. This is simply not true. Air blowers, various types of rakes, or power brooms are all the tools that can be used on artificial turf landscape. Maintaining and cleaning synthetic grass is in fact much easier and less time-consuming than doing so with natural grass lawns. 

Synthetic Grass Chokes Out Trees

The myth is that synthetic grass will prevent your trees from receiving the moisture that they require. Although high-quality synthetic grass, such as those provided by Artificial Turf by Fenix, has efficient drainage systems that allow for water to pass through easily, the soil underneath the synthetic turf and your tree’s roots will still receive the moisture that it needs.

Although natural grass lawns can provide an open space for your dog to play in, they can also bring with them several possible hazards that pose a risk to your pet’s well-being. You can avoid these hazards while still maintaining a safe play area for your dog by transitioning to artificial turf. Here’s how an artificial turf installation can eliminate common hazards for your pet dog.

Ticks

Animals like squirrels and rats can bring ticks to natural grass lawns. From there, ticks can grow and multiply by nesting in the soil and later feeding on the blades of the grass. Tick bites can be especially dangerous because serious diseases like Lyme disease can be transmitted. Because synthetic grass covers the soil and does not retain moisture, it prevents ticks from coming in and multiplying.

Grass Seeds

Grass seedshave been proven to be more than a minor annoyance for your dog. Their sharpness can pierce your pet’s skin and cause swelling to occur. With artificial turf, you won’t have to worry about grass seeds bothering your pets any longer.

Weeds

Natural grass lawns can be home to weeds like Cicuta virosa, Milkweed, and Buckwheat. With weeds, there’s a chance that your dog could mistakenly ingest something that is poisonous to it. This is preventable with a well-installed artificial turf that has been equipped to prevent any weed infestation.

Lawn Care Chemicals

Natural grass lawns require lawn care chemicals like fertilizers, pesticides, and weedicides to be able to maintain their functionality and appearance. However, these chemicals can bring toxic residues that could be exposed to your pet and cause further problems. Synthetic grass especially form Artificial Turf by Fenix does not require such chemicals to be able to maintain its lush and stunning appearance.

Puddles

Although dogs often enjoy playing in puddles, they can hold bacteria and viruses that could negatively affect your pet’s health. All of our turf solutions at Artificial Turf by Fenix have reliable drainage systems that will prevent any moisture or water buildup.

The holiday season is a time of many things. In particular, it’s a time for beautiful and intricate yard decoration designs. It’s here where creative and innovative minds can really flourish. If you’re a homeowner with synthetic turf, the time to start planning out and implementing your design is now. If you’re stumped on what to do for these holidays, here are some creative ways to decorate your synthetic turf.

A Heads-Up Regarding Holes

Although synthetic grass is versatile and will allow you to implement diverse satisfying designs, there are decorations that you will want to avoid. It is recommended that you do not use any decorations that have poles, pins, or stakes. This is because synthetic turf isn’t favorable or friendly to any decorations that will create holes. If your decoration has poles, pins, or stakes and you still want to implement them, place them elsewhere.

Using the Existing Environment

One convenient idea for decorating your artificial turf is using the existing structures as the centerpieces for your design. This design can be built around your plants or hardscaping. It will still allow you to flex your creative muscles while not requiring much change to your yard.

Colorful Outdoor Lights

You can’t go wrong using outdoor lights. You can strew lights all around your yard and home to make for a bright and noticeable sight particularly at night. There are also now many different battery-operated or solar options that will allow you to avoid using lights that require inconvenient and clunky extension cords.

Going All In On Christmas

If you’re looking to implement a Christmas theme for your yard, one possible design is using a large tree decoration and surrounding it with painted or wrapped boxes to represent presents. This design will require a bit of room so if space is a bit confined, you may want to look elsewhere. A more simple Christmas design you can do is decorating your yard with candy canes. 

Take Advantage of Cheap Finds

If you’re on a budget for this holiday season, there are plenty of great finds at thrift shops or flea markets that can be used for your yard. Things like wagons or sleds can make your artificial grass feel festive.

Bring Your Indoor Charm Outside

If you have an outdoor fireplace, this a chance to decorate it as if you would an indoor one. You can decorate your mantel and create that feeling of snugness and comfort that an indoor fireplace provides. 

Even beyond the holiday season, artificial grass can make for a great look in your yard all year long. Not only can it provide a beautiful sight, it is also convenient to maintain with minimal care required.
