Transform Your Backyard for Spring Entertaining
Across the US, spring has sprung, and the vast majority of us are itching to spend more time outside. And there’s nowhere better to do it than our own backyards, especially in the company of family and friends. Sometimes, though, that’s easier said than done, particularly where we have misgivings – or even a sense of embarrassment – about how our yards are looking. If your outdoor space is centered around natural grass, you’ll know how much effort can be required to get it fit for entertaining, even when the warmer weather is still months away! It’s little wonder that more and more people are turning to artificial turf instead. Here, we take a look at some of the reasons why, while also throwing out a few ideas as to how to make the most of it once it’s in place…
Why Choose Artificial Turf?
Whether it’s at the expense of a natural grass surface, a concrete one, or something else entirely, it isn’t hard to see why we’ve been helping increasing numbers of homeowners transform their outdoor space…
- Year-Round Greenery: Because turf is made entirely of synthetic material, there’s no growth cycle to speak of and, thus, no chance of it turning brown or dying off entirely. Instead, from the moment it’s laid down, you can look forward to a green and vibrant lawn 12 months of the year – regardless of the weather.
- Ultra-Low Maintenance: Because there’s no growth taking place, there’s no mowing to do. Furthermore, you won’t have to worry about carrying out mundane tasks like fertilizing or watering to help your grass along.
- Cut Your Water Bill: As there’s no regular watering taking place, you’ll notice a change where the weight of your wallet is concerned – something that’s even more pertinent if you live in a drought-prone area where you might be contending with water rationing.
- A Safer Environment: As said, turf doesn’t require any fertilizing, and you don’t have to contemplate applying any herbicides or pesticides, either. Weeds find it far more challenging to penetrate an artificial surface, while a dearth of organic matter gives pests little reason to hang around. As a result, you can enjoy an outdoor space that’s completely free of the toxic elements such products contain.
- High Durability: Particularly if you’re somebody who loves to entertain, you’ll appreciate the fact that turf is built to withstand heavy foot traffic, making it perfect for kids, pets, and, of course, any gatherings you’ve got planned.
What Are the Possibilities with Artificial Turf?
Here at Goat Turf, our raison d’être lies in our belief that every single space, every single day, can make our lives better. In addition to a standard landscaping project, here are just a handful of how you can utilize your new turf to wow your family and friends this spring…
- Patios and Pool Areas: Typically paved with concrete or stone, we’ve helped many a homeowner revolutionize their patio by introducing turf – a greener, cozier alternative. Considering they’re normally created with dining or entertaining in mind, we feel it’s a great shame that many patios often appear grey and dull and lack comfort underfoot. For those lucky enough to own pools, turf has helped make the surrounding areas far safer, providing particular peace of mind for parents of little ones.
- Putting Greens: A perfect family-friendly activity and ideal for those who’d like to practice their short game anytime they want, creating a backyard putting green is easier and more affordable than you might think. Almost any flat surface can quickly transform into the perfect place for a game of golf.
- Backyard Courts: Similarly, whether it’s tennis, pickleball, or volleyball you’re into – to name just a few – you can negate the need to drive to the gym or the park and bring the game to you with the aid of one of our SYNCourt™ sports tile systems. Easy on the joints and inherently user-friendly, our courts are also fully customizable, with a range of colors and designs to pick from.
If you’re looking to take things easy, the fact that turf is mud-free and barefoot-friendly will allow you to do just that. However many people you might be expecting over, your turf will always be ready to go.
