Astroturf is the new fashion turn in the world of interior designing!

Astroturf is a form of grass that is synthetic and often used as a replacement for real grass. Typically, it is made to look like real grass and requires little maintenance and upkeep. This type of grass was invented a while ago and has since become a popular alternative to standard sod.

In addition to its use as a replacement for sod, astroturf has also been used in fields for sports such as baseball, football, soccer, and even golf. In fact, some golf courses have astroturf fairways rather than traditional sod because it does not need to be maintained as often as sod does. 

It also does not die out during the winter months like many other types of grass do. Astroturf is typically made of polyethylene plastic fibers that are woven together to form a carpet-like surface that resembles real grass. 

The colors of astroturf in the Tampa Metropolitan Area range from bright green to lime green and are made with polypropylene or polyethylene blades that are tufted into a backing material. The backing material can be made from polyurethane, latex, or urethane foam. Depending on the type of backing material used, the cost of installing astroturf can vary greatly.

Some of the reasons you should get your astroturf installed on lawns are:

1. Edging

If you have a grass lawn, you need to trim the edges where it meets the sidewalk, driveway, and flower beds. You won't have to do that if your yard is all artificial turf.

2. Weed control

A lawn full of weeds can be embarrassing and affect the look of your entire property. Weeds in your astroturf? Not going to happen!

3. Low maintenance

Lawns require a lot of work to keep them looking nice: watering, mowing, fertilizing, edging — the list goes on! Artificial turf requires very little maintenance. You will likely only have to brush it occasionally to keep it looking fresh. If you want to go above and beyond, you can use a leaf blower or power washer from time to time.

4. Ease of care

You don't need to mow or water or fertilize your lawn. It requires no pesticides or herbicides, either. The one thing you do need to do is clean up after your pets — and in some cases, you'll need a rake to remove leaves and other debris that can accumulate on top of the blades of grass.

5. Flexibility: 

Astroturf can be installed indoors or outdoors. It can be used in front yards and backyards, on rooftops and patios. Fake grass is also used on playgrounds and athletic fields — anywhere you'd use natural grass but want an easier-to-maintain surface.

Tips for placing fake grass

You will want to make sure that your fake grass in the Tampa Metropolitan Area is placed somewhere that will get full sun and that is in a well-drained area. Be careful not to place the grass in an area where it will be walked on nonstop. The best idea is to place the grass in an area where there are no pets or children who enjoy playing on the surface.

You will want to cut the surface to fit the area you want to be covered with astroturf. Make sure that you leave a little bit of excess around the edges of your project so you can attach it easily to an existing surface.
