Switching to artificial grass decreases your water and gas usage significantly, thus reducing your carbon footprint and saving you money! Grass clipping waste and toxic runoff are also two major pollutants you will aid in eradicating when you switch to synthetic grass alternatives.

Did that catch your attention? Good, we're so glad! Making the switch to artificial grass can be overwhelming, but we promise that we will make it a pleasant experience. When it comes to constructing the perfect lawn, it all comes down to the type of grass material you select, and the installation of that grass. Both are important to ensure the perfect, and long-lasting, lawn. Let's start with the grass. Over the next section, we'll be covering all aspects of the ideal green: Application, Traffic, Styles/Families, Yarn, and Backing System.
Application
To make things easy, we'll stick to what we know first: the application. This is the simplest part of the decision making process, because most customers already know the answer! Where will you be using your artificial grass installation and for what purpose? Although the most popular reason for incorporating synthetic grass into your home or business is for the landscaping benefits, there are many uses for fake grass installations. Some of the most common include: play areas, putting greens, pet runs, pool decks, and sport areas. Please refer to Our Services below to learn more about these popular applications.
Traffic
When looking for the perfect artificial grass, the next important consideration is the amount of traffic it will endure. Some grasses are meant to be more aesthetically pleasing than others, while some are built to be extra durable in order to withstand extreme levels of traffic and usage.
Styles
Let's get a little fancy, shall we? The next consideration is the style of your synthetic grass installation. You see, the most prevalent styles of grass are made with either polyethylene, nylon, or polypropylene. Each possess their own attributes, including their own pros and cons. For instance Polyethylene grass is the most premium of the three materials. With this style of grass, you really get the bang for you buck. Why? Because polyethylene grass installations are able to withstand both heavy traffic and extreme heat. They are the longest lasting, and remain relatively odorless, due to their non-porous nature. Nylon is the next choice of artificial grass material. Nylon definitely holds it's own, as it is known for it's strength and durability. Nylon, however, is the least "realistic" of the three and is often used for high traffic areas such as sport fields or putting greens. Last but not least is polypropylene grass. Polypropylene definitely provides the most affordable option to consumers, but can come with it's own list of issues. Polypropylene is an aesthetics grass, it isn't quite strong or durable and struggles against extreme temperatures. However, polypropylene grass can fill small or low traffic areas, providing a beautifully natural feel. All in all, the style of grass you choose really depends on you!

Yarn
Did you know that there are actually several choices of blade shape to choose from when it comes to your artificial grass? It's true, and although each have their own pros and cons, the most popular styles of yarn are flat, willow, stem, diamond, double-diamond, wave shape, V-shape, S-shape, C-shape, U-shape, mini-W, and cool yarn. For more information on yarn shapes and benefits, please give us a call and let us run through the value each type of blade shape can bring to your new installation. .
Backing Systems
The most important consideration, when it comes to your artificial grass installation, is the backing of the material. Most fake grass has a two-part backing system. The first is the primary woven backing that holds the "blades" or yarn together. while the second backing is used to hold the entire piece together, while enabling it to lay flat.
The first key difference between backing systems is whether they are perforated or not. Perforated backing systems have little holes punched into the piece, allowing for ample drainage. Although perforated grass backings are ideal for pet owners, they also can allow enough moisture in to aid in weed growth - which can be a pain.
The coating on the second backing can also play a pivotal role in your new synthetic grass installation. Typically made from urethane or latex, the second backing is the glue that holds the entire piece together! Although latex is considered the most cost effective of the two, urethane is known for it's high durability and long-lasting backings. It goes without saying that you get what you pay for when it comes to artificial turf installations. To learn more about the best backing for you and your yard, please reach out to one of our specialists at Artificial Grass Genie.
Artificial Grass Installations
Making the eco-friendly choice is easy when it comes to artificial versus natural grass. Although many would lean towards the benefits of natural grass, the reality is that artificial grass is actually healthier for the environment!
How is that possible, you say? Because fake grass does not require any where near the level of maintenance and primping a natural grass yard may need. The result of decreased mowing and watering can help minimize your carbon footprint, help aid in your local water preservation, decrease pollutants and toxic runoff, and even... wait for it... SAVE YOU MONEY!
