Artificial grass is an excellent addition to a house, potentially limiting maintenance costs while always looking good. However, artificial grass isn’t the perfect fit for every home. That’s why you need to consider certain factors before installing the grass.
The first thing you should do is check to see if your ground is even and flat enough for artificial turf. Some yards don’t have flat ground suitable for artificial grass and will require changes to work with the synthetic turf. Things like tree roots or other bumps can get in the way of the grass installation.
One of the worst ways to ruin artificial grass is improper drainage. If water can’t drain out of your yard, it will cause issues after installation and possibly wreck your yard. Try to fix your yard’s irrigation if there are any sections where water tends to gather.
While artificial grass can elevate a home, you can’t just install it as you please. Many places have restrictions or homeowner’s associations (HOAs) that regulate the lawns in a neighborhood. You should always check with them to ensure you can put in the grass before you commit to it. If your homeowner’s association says no, here are some questions you can ask your HOA to possibly change their mind.
One significant factor you should consider before installing any artificial grass is how you’re going to control the weeds that will try to grow in your yard. Most people install a weed barrier before they put in the synthetic grass to help prevent the growth of weeds.
The final thing you should take your time on is deciding if the turf is worth the investment. Artificial grass is an excellent investment and can really improve curb appeal, and lower maintenance costs, but not every home will benefit. You should seriously consider how the yard may improve with this investment and decide if it’s right for your home. This is the most critical step before putting artificial grass in your yard.
