Turfs Up! 

~ At Home by Colin Taheny ~

 Artificial turf has come a long way in recent years. for some, it is difficult to tell the difference between artificial and natural turf. artificial turf can upgrade your property and offer valuable living space, transforming unusable or rarely used areas into space to be enjoyed by people and pets. Over the past several years, synthetic grass has become a viable alternative to natural grass and is one of the fastest growing home improvements. synthetic grass, installed correctly, provides homeowners with an always beautiful lawn, pays for itself in water and maintenance savings, and increases home value at the same time.  Safe, happy pets Due to its unmatched durability, artificial turf has proven to stand up to the most challenging of pets and is used by many local dog facilities. fieldturf is the only synthetic grass solution for a pet-damaged lawn. The patented drainage system allows pet waste to drain deep into the soil, draining better and cleaner than real grass. fieldturf can be a solution that prevents muddy grass, brown patches or bald spots. it offers a natural look and feel for homeowners and their dogs. Dogs could care less and will generally conduct their business as always. nothing gets by them.  Cats seem to gravitate to bordering plant beds. regardless of a pet’s preference, their business can be more easily removed and washed away than it would on grass with no harm or effect on the synthetic fibers.  Putting greens artificial grass golf practice systems ensure an experience that duplicates natural grass in every way. it provides a flawless landing zone for a driving range, and tees can be inserted, unlike with mats or carpet. The “true roll” product creates a realistic golf practice surface with no divots, no weeds and low-maintenance fringe. any maintenance is generally limited to blowing or lightly raking debris off of the surface. These turfs are designed to withstand every climate.  Some of the areas that Barrington area residents apply artificial turf to include rooftops, patios, terraces and decks. if you’ve always wanted to customize your golf space, a fieldturf synthetic putting green gives you a low-maintenance backyard country club.  Outdoor play Kids love fieldturf because it is softer than real grass and they have loads of fun playing on it. some consider it their own personal sports field. Parents love the fact that there are no more stained pants and scraped knees. fieldturf is the turf-of-choice for hundreds of daycare centers around the nation.  The sliding soles of children’s feet have virtually no wear and tear effect on the synthetic surface. fieldturf and its in-fills are sterile, hypo-allergenic, non-toxic, and non-carcinogenic materials that are common to the everyday life of every person and animal on the planet. The fieldturf products and infill specifications have been time-tested at installations that have been in existence for more than 15 years. This product is warranted for 8 years.  artifical turf does change the game. There is no watering, no mowing, no fading, no edging, no fertilizing, no chemicals, no pet damage, no pests, no allergies and no muddy paw prints in the house. The overall cost is lower, too.
