How to Choose the Right Artificial Grass for Your Foot Traffic
Many San Dimas residents are looking to artificial grass as a landscaping alternative for their homes and businesses because of its ability to stay looking perfect without the extensive ongoing maintenance of a real grass lawn. Artificial turf stays green all year, with no weeds, mud, bald spots, or discoloration to detract from the beauty of your property’s landscaping. However, before purchasing artificial grass for your San Dimas residence or business, it’s important to consider the amount of foot traffic it will receive. You want to get the maximum longevity from your artificial grass possible, and the best way to maximize this is by choosing the appropriate type of turf for you and your landscaping needs.
Duran Lawn Creations carries a range of artificial turf types, from low-impact grass such as Everglade Spring Light to high-impact grass like Fairway Plus, we will have the synthetic grass option that is perfect for your needs. Low-impact grass is to be used mainly for aesthetic purposes, such as residential landscapes. This type of turf should not receive any activity more substantial than walking, and light play from children and pets. Its longer blades provide a more luxurious look, but they can become matted from overuse. High-impact turf, on the other hand, is ideal for areas that will receive high amounts of foot traffic or rougher treatment due to activities such as sports, children playdates, or pets. This type of synthetic turf is denser, more durable, and features a shorter blade height which allows it to last under any condition.
