If you want to give your home a nice patch of greenery, it’s easy to be discouraged the moment you start thinking about all the mowing and watering that you need do regularly. Luckily, artificial grass or turf is now available to homeowners. And as you may have guessed, it’s a big game changer.
One of the biggest reasons why homeowners are choosing to go with artificial grass instead of natural grass for their homes is that it is much easier to maintain. It doesn’t matter if the area gets a great volume of traffic all the time. No matter how many times your kids or your dogs run around it, artificial grass would never get ruined.
At the same time, this kind of grass readily stays clean. That’s because it comes with a specialized porous backing that readily stops weeds in their tracks while also preventing insects from coming in. And the moment it gets wet, there’s no need to be concerned either because it will always dry quickly due to its drainage system.
That said, did you know that you don’t have to your artificial grass installed flat all the time? Here are some design inspirations to sculpting with synthetic turf in your backyard:
