Synthetic grass is a brilliant solution for homeowners seeking a beautiful, hassle-free outdoor space. But while the allure of a low-maintenance, evergreen lawn is undeniable, an improperly laid one can just as quickly become an eyesore. So, before you embark on installing synthetic grass in your yard, beware of several common mistakes.
- Not Ordering Enough Turf. One of the most frustrating pitfalls homeowners encounter when installing synthetic grass is underestimating the amount they’ll need for their project. Failing to account for intricate landscaping features, curves, or unusual shapes can leave you with unsightly seams or gaps, compromising the seamless appearance you had earlier envisioned.
- Ignoring Drainage Requirements. Although synthetic turf is renowned for its rapid drainage capabilities, it is only effective when the underlying material is properly graded before laying the turf. Neglecting proper drainage can lead to unsightly puddles and pools of water on your lawn, creating a potentially hazardous situation.
- Installing Low-Quality Turf. Cheap turf fades, looks like plastic, and matts down quickly. Investing in high-quality, UV-resistant turf from reputable manufacturers is essential for ensuring long-lasting beauty and performance.
- Not Hiring in a Reliable Installer. Although installing synthetic grass might seem like a simple DIY task, it takes skill to achieve a seamless finish. Lumpy base layers, visible seams, and unevenness are the hallmarks of amateur work. You should hire a reliable installer with proven experience to ensure you get the best results.
