Create a Maintenance Space to Relax With Artificial Turf

We love the outdoors. Just recently, it was found that we need to be outside for 67 minutes per day to feel at our best, helping us to relax, improve our mood and clear our head. The reality for many people, though, is that spending quality time outdoors isn’t always practical. Even when we do have some kind of outside space to call our own, keeping it in shape is rarely a straightforward task; yard work is a year round hassle and, once life gets in the way, the workload can quickly mount up, making it difficult just to spend any time outdoors in the first place – let alone enjoy it. Installing artificial turf on your property, however, can alleviate practically all of the stress, allowing you to focus on what really matters: having an accessible, maintainable outdoor space that can dramatically improve your quality of life. Here at Goat Turf, we’re passionate about helping our customers do just that. Read on to find out more…

What’s possible with Artificial Turf?

In a word, lots! For one, we can cater for individual properties, apartment buildings and communal spaces, like playgrounds.

We’ve helped swathes of homeowners breathe new life into their back yards (or front!), creating evergreen spaces that lend themselves perfectly to making memories with family, friends and four-legged companions. Often, we incorporate additional features, too, like putting greens, while artificial turf can also be utilized to transform the areas surrounding swimming pools, reducing the risk of slips and falls in the process.

In urban areas, we can make rooftops and balconies come alive, helping city dwellers – and businesses – to enjoy the beauty and vibrancy of green grass in a jungle of concrete and glass. In high-rise buildings in particular, such spaces offer a precious gateway to nature and the outside world, so why not make the most of them?

Furthermore, Goat Turf’s playground systems – with industry standard-bearer SYNLawn’s artificial turf at their heart – check the most important box of all when it comes to children’s play areas: safety, no matter what the foot traffic or weather conditions. Our surfaces protect kids from falls from as high as ten feet.

Won’t There Still Be A Little Bit of Artificial Turf Maintenance Involved?

Yes, but the difference is stark – particularly for single-family residences. Gone are the days of you having to mow, edge and weed, and in areas prone to lengthy spells of hot, dry weather, you’ll no longer have to worry about watering. The sight of a parched grass surface, or one that’s several inches high and in need of a lot of TLC, can be a real deterrent to you getting outside – even when the weather is agreeable. At Goat Turf, we see first-hand – all the time – how artificial turf can have a revolutionary impact when it comes to you getting the most out of your outdoor space.

You’ll still have to pick up any debris that accumulates, like sticks and leaves. You’ll have to use a synthetic, stiff-bristle brush instead of a one with metal bristles, which can damage your turf. Keep your turf clean by giving it a gentle rinse with a hose – avoid using a pressure washer, which can blow the turf’s infill away. On a particularly hot day, and especially if you’re going to be using your turf for entertaining, a light watering can help keep your turf cool.

And don’t worry too much about pet waste; while there’ll obviously be a little bit of picking up to do after your furry friends, SYNLawn’s artificial turf boasts a drainage system which sees liquid pass through at a rate of up to 90 inches per hour, while we can also provide an odor-absorbing infill to keep your space smelling fresh.

So How Does the Artificial Turf Installation Process Work?

Clearly, no two outdoor spaces are ever the same; indeed, as covered above, your outside recreation area could encompass anything from a back yard to a rooftop. But regardless of size, shape and even altitude, Goat Turf can provide a solution.

From the very outset, we’ll take your own unique circumstances on board. On the back of your initial enquiry, we’ll try and get a proper feel for what sort of issues you’re facing and come up with a ballpark price for your project. From there, one of our project managers will pay a visit to your property and, having invested heavily in our software for measurements and layouts, we’ll be able to come up with a detailed proposal for you in impressively quick time.

As we proceed, everything about your project will be mapped out to a T, from the precise type of turf we lay down to what sort of rock, seam tape, glue and even knives we use. When it comes to our service across the board, we know that our customers love the little details – and it’s the little things we do which set us apart.
