Install Artificial Grass in Your Commercial Landscapes

Artificial turf was first used in the sporting world in order to help reduce the costs related to constantly maintaining natural grass. Not to mention that artificial grass is able to withstand the heavy use that sports routinely require. As you can imagine, business owners across the nation began to become savvy of the time and cost savings that artificial grass and turf can provide. If maintaining yards and lawns were easy, we wouldn’t be in business!

Artificial grass has come a long way since the Astrodome fifty-years ago. Modern “third generation turf” now offers infill that are mixtures of sand and recycled rubber while the first generation turf was short-pile fibers without infill. Long story short, the first generation turf didn’t look or feel as good as modern artificial grass today.

Artificial turf, usually constructed of polyethylene plastic grass and an in-fill base of "crumb rubber" from ground-up recycled tires (as many as 10,000 in a single field) have become increasingly popular in communities all across the country.

As with anything else, there are both advantages and disadvantages to installing artificial turf over natural grass in the Phoenix Metro area that every commercial property owner should consider before hiring a licensed, bonded, and insured artificial turf installer for their commercial property landscape.

Advantages
Some of the advantages of having artificial grass include:
Lower maintenance costs, saving time (no longer spend time mowing the lawn), pesticide-free, increased durability, and it saves water. Synthetic turf works very well in high traffic or play areas where rough and tumble action is hard on real grass.

Disadvantages
Some of the disadvantages of artificial grass in the Valley of the Sun include:
The ground can get very hot because artificial turf absorbs heat, bacteria can breed. Medical experts have found that staphylococci and other bacteria can survive on polyethylene plastic, the compound used to make synthetic turf blades, for more than 90 days. Blood, sweat, skin cells and other materials can remain on the synthetic turf if the surface is not washed or cleaned. 

Once you install artificial grass it is difficult and costly to switch back to natural grass.
