Artificial turf can make your life easier
Post 1 of 4
It’s a struggle for many to keep a lawn green, lush and weed free. Not knowing when or how much fertilizer to apply, keeping destructive insects under control including grubs, eliminating crab grass and other weeds out of the turf area are all issues that need to be addressed during the growing season for turf. Maintenance issues can be easily solved if FieldTurf is installed. FieldTurf is a premier artificial tuft product. Not only does it cut down on maintenance, but it also offers other benefits that a conventional lawn do not. FieldTurf is a green solution: both the look and environmentally. It also is a great solution when you have pets and don’t want to deal with muddy paws or don’t want to go out inside in extreme weather conditions. FieldTurf is long lasting and a great alternative to a conventional lawn. In this series of posts, you’ll learn all about field turf and how you can use it in lots of applications. This week, check out all the uses for Field Turf and how it’s installed.

Innovative and Durable
Layers of FieldTurf when installed When FieldTurf is installed properly, the process ensures the 15-20 year life expectancy, performance and appearance of your new lawn. The patented installation process begins with the preparation of the area. Several inches of the existing landscaping is removed and hauled away. A specially blended, crushed rock base is brought in and compacted to create the ideal foundation. The synthetic grass is then custom cut to fit your area and securely attached. Finally, an infill is used to keep the blades erect and to provide for the perfect natural grass “feel” underfoot. This unique installation process will provide for the safest, most effective and most durable surface. After installation, the only maintenance is to rake it with a leaf rake a few times a year to stand up the fibers and remove any debris that may have settled on top. Installation of FieldTurf should be by a licensed installer to ensure that it will last as long as the 15-20 year life expectancy. When the professionals install FieldTurf, the result will be a low maintenance, lush, green and durable “lawn”.
