My favorite childhood memory took place at my grandma’s house. In her side yard, a shade tree stood among the soft, lush grass. I remember lying under that tree for what seemed like hours, feeling the grass like a plush carpet surrounding me.
That memory returns when I think of what a luxurious home lawn would be. Certain environments make it difficult to replicate that soft carpet of grass; however, used artificial turf offers a beautiful solution.
Imagine a lawn of vibrant green artificial turf. Many artificial turf products create a comfortable blanket for cloud-gazers of any age. Not only that, but the artificial turf is made with a support layer that adds flexibility and cushion to the lawn. How nice for a raucous game of red light/green light with the cousins!
Although artificial turf can turn an average lawn into a glamorous landscape, it can be quite pricey. Fortunately, Returf specializes in recycling artificial turf. You can have that luxurious lawn at a fraction of the cost. It looks absolutely breathtaking, lasts for years, and can add value to your property. When people pass by your home, they will assume that the luxurious well-maintained vision on the outside continues inside as well.
The designs for a luxury lawn are limitless with artificial turf. Choose how to transform your lawn. Think about creating balance with your spaces. Perhaps a quiet and serene oasis can be created on one side of your lawn, and a space for functionality and entertaining balances out the other side of your lawn.
- Once you have a plan, scrape off any vegetation to create a smooth surface for your new lawn. Take out any rocks, roots, and plants.
- Measure the length and width to get accurate measurements for the area you want to cover with turf.
- Lay down landscape fabric as a weed barrier to keep unsightly weeds from growing up through the turf.
- Choose a base layer to help with drainage. Don’t forget to plan for drainage. Although the artificial turf is porous, you don’t want water to pond on top. Compact the base layer with a roller or other compacting device.
- Roll out your Returf onto your space being careful not to shift the base layer. You may need help with this step. Let the turf settle into shape since it has probably been rolled up.
- Seam pieces together and trim where needed.
Transforming a hard-to-maintain lawn into a luxury lawn allows you to enjoy life with a year-round, high-quality Returf product that is long-lasting and aesthetically pleasing. Bring luxury into your lawn with a sumptuous, comfortable, easy-to-maintain landscape that makes you and your family and friends feel special.
