How To Do Turf Installation Vancouver

By Virginia Peterson


The world is going from genuine to artificial at a very alarming rate. One of the things being changed is normal grass to artificial sod. Natural grass is expensive and tedious to grow and maintain hence the rise in fake grass. With this change, turf installation Vancouver is experiencing booming business as more and more people want sods installed in their premises.

After deciding to install a turf lawn, one should go ahead and do the proper grounds preparation. This preparation will involve clearing and leveling of the ground set for grass installation. Remove any rocks, sticks and other solid waste that hinder ground smoothness. You can use handheld equipment like rakes and shovels for this process.

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.

Do away with excess top soil to sustain lawn levels. Organic materials rot and sink in the ground. This means that you should not leave any of that material below the grounds where you plan to install the grass. To avoid seeds from falling into the soil below and germinating, make sure that you properly lay the weed mat under your artificial lawn. Smartly trim your grass to fit your planting region.

When laying the artificial lawn, try laying them down by their width to enhance their finished looks. In Vancouver it is advisable to search for products made by companies that have used technology to enhance their products. The technological enhancements help in the bonding process, and when finished, it is hard to notice the bonding points. These bonds also last longer as compared to bonds achieved by using glue.

There are many benefits of synthetic grass. Maintaining them is easier as the use of lawn mowers is no longer needed. Due to this fact, people get to save time and maybe money that they would use to maintain their lawns. Money is also saved in terms of water usage. Normal grass will dent your income with bills, while artificial grass needs very little water.

Durability is an important advantage of sods over natural grass. When stepped on, the grass starts to fade and die. Artificial lawns can be stepped and played on for a long time before showing signs of wearing out. They are also better in that during the hot seasons when there is little or no rainfall, they do not lose their color while natural grass turns brown and hard, hence requiring lots of water to make them come back to life. Due to its durability, pet owners can use it for play time.

Looking into the world of field games, most fields are using artificial grass. This is due to their easy fixing and maintenance nature. They are common also because unlike fields with natural grass, they have smooth textures and do not possess harmful objects like rocks, which would be hazardous to the players and can be career threatening.
