Artificial Turf Backyard Applications

The application possibilities are nearly endless when it comes to backyard artificial turf installations. A lot of reasonings include low maintenance, longevity, drought climates, and even for concrete surfaces.

Beautify

Beautifying a backyard with artificial turf is one of the main reasons homeowners are flocking to this product. Whether as a total backyard solution or to add greenery to otherwise dead areas, artificial turf is up to the task. Mixing artificial turf installations with rock gardens and live plants can easily create a stunning backyard oasis.

Play or Train

Artificial turf itself is designed to take the abuse of professional sports while being safe and comfortable. For backyard play areas (especially those including swing sets or jungle gyms) this surface provides a healthy green appearance that can take the abuse of constant play. For those looking to train, whether that be for sports, CrossFit, or any physical endurance activity, artificial turf provides the ideal contact surface. It provides both traction and shock absorption while keeping the area looking clean and fresh.

Pets

Artificial turf for pet areas, specifically for dogs, has been a widely accepted alternative to natural grass. It is a low maintenance surface that is easily cleaned, but one of the main benefits is that biting bugs do not find a home on it. At the same time, the surface feels both natural and comfortable for those pets who have the opportunity to enjoy it.

Backyard Artificial Turf Cost Factors

Over time, though with a larger initial investment, artificial turf lawns save money. They do not require regular maintenance, irrigation, weeding, reseeding, or chemical applications that are found with natural lawns. It is in this area where the long-term return on the investment shows that artificial turf will save you money over its lifetime.

Save More Money With A Recovered Product

Being environmentally sound, repurposing artificial turf from sports fields is becoming a more common practice. This product still has years and years of life left in it and comes at a greatly reduced cost.
