A Guide to Introducing Artificial Turf to Your Philadelphia Home or Business

As locals will know all too well, the weather conditions in Philadelphia vary hugely throughout the year, with each of the four seasons feeling very distinct. Few of the US’ largest cities have a temperature range that’s so noticeably vast, while there are up to 11 wet days every month. Such variability can make looking after natural grass a huge challenge, and it’s no surprise that more and more residents and business owners in Philadelphia and eastern Pennsylvania are looking to Goat Turf to create a low-maintenance, hassle-free space that can be enjoyed all year round. Read on to find out more…

I live in Philadelphia. Is Artificial Turf Something I Really Need?

If you’re used to trying to maintain natural grass, you’ll know that Philly’s cold winters and hot, humid summers make it susceptible to lots of wear and tear. Whether you’re considering artificial turf for your home or your business, you’ll be able to reap the rewards of having a beautiful green space 365 days of the year – and one that won’t ever be a burden on your time. You’ll cut down on labor, and money, by not having to water or mow, while all of Goat Turf’s products boast a proven drainage system to mitigate the risk of pooling.

Okay, Artificial Turf Sounds More Maintainable and Durable than Natural Grass, but How Else Might it Benefit Me?

Artificial turf is great news for children and parents alike, providing kids with a soft, safe surface to play on – without the worry of them dragging dirt into the house. The same applies to pets, while our aforementioned drainage systems mean you won’t have to worry about your pooch’s waste – in fact, we can even add odor-absorbing infill where necessary! Such advantages mean that Goat Turf’s products are ideal for playgrounds and dog parks as well as individual homes. And, in urban areas, artificial turf is fast becoming the number one pick for common spaces and rooftops, carrying a Class 1 fire rating for maximum peace of mind.

Would I Have to Do Anything to Look After My Artificial Turf Here in Philadelphia?

As said, those big, time-consuming jobs associated with the upkeep of natural grass – which can be particularly troublesome for those in eastern Pennsylvania – are rendered totally unnecessary with artificial turf. Artificial turf doesn’t need to be deep cleaned, either, though there are one or two little things you should do as a matter of good practice. Debris like leaves and sticks should be removed regularly, and when you do, make sure you use a synthetic, stiff-bristle brush rather than a one with metal bristles, which can damage your turf. You should also get into the habit of rinsing your turf with a garden hose; don’t use a pressure washer as it can blow your artificial grass’ infill away.
