Steps And Benefits Of Turf Installation Vancouver

By Virginia Peterson


In this new world, artificial grass is fast replacing normal grass. This is brought about by their easy set up and simple maintenance processes. Doing sod installation is difficult hence turf installation Vancouver is important in helping people install synthetic grass. There are steps to consider when wanting to install imitated grass and some are explained below.

The commencing step is always to set up the land where the grass is to be fixed. Clean the surface where you want to do the fixing. Clear it off any rubbish because a fresh surface will give you a completely adorable look. Use hand held tools for the purpose of clearing and leveling. Unlevel ground will make your grass grow at bent angles and this will lessen the value of the finished job.

After preparing the ground, the next step is to fill the base. Doing this ensures that the installed product will be at the preferred base and height. If the ground is too shallow you can add a layer of crushed soil or gravel, and rake until the surface is compact. Also make sure that the ground remains well aerated and water can flow freely.

For maintaining the turf levels, one should remove a significant amount of top soil. Make sure not to leave any organic material below the turf to prevent uneven rotting. Lay weed mat right under the synthetic grass to stop seeds from falling and germinating in the soil. After you do this, trim your turf to fit your installation area.

Always seam your grass width-wise as you lay it. Doing it length-wise can prove difficult and can spoil its general look. There are synthetic grass companies in Vancouver that use sophisticated technologies for their grass to bond together. Using products from such companies may help in the overall look of the finished installation as the seams will be virtually impossible to see as compared to products bonded by glue. These bonds also last longer than ordinary bonding techniques.

Advantages of turf over natural grass are abundant. For instance, artificial grass is easier to maintain. This is because there is no need of hard labor and use of mechanical equipment. One requires a less amount of energy to maintain these lawns. There is also the issue of water saving, as these lawns do not require a lot of water to maintain them.

These artificial turfs last longer, and can therefore be played on for extended periods of time without getting destroyed. In the dry time of the year, when most people are using huge amounts of water to maintain their lawns, people with artificial grass are using little amounts of water to maintain their greenness. As they cannot be dug or get muddy, pet owners are advised to use them since their animals will not be able to dig in them.

In the world of sports today, athletes and sports corporations are embracing the use of turf on the fields. Natural grass is expensive to grow and maintain, and fields with natural grass may possess harmful things like rocks. Turfs are smoother and athletes do not mind falling on them since chances of getting injured are very minimal.
