How To Do 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.

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.

Get rid of unnecessary top soil. Also make sure that you do not forget to remove all the materials that can rot when covered. If rotting material is not removed, they will sink into the soil below after rotting and will spoil the leveling of your lawn. Also spread a weed mat that will catch seeds falling into the soil and hinder their germination. Elegantly trim your turf so that they fill the installation area effortlessly.

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.

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.

Synthetic grass is being accepted the world over by sportsmen and sports associations. This is because the cost of growing natural grass on pitches is very exhausting and uses up a lot of resources. If turfs were not available, training would be hard for field athletes. This is because the fields with natural grass are not well cured and chances of injury are high when an athlete falls and their career might be put at risk.
