7 Great Uses for Artificial Turf in the Hunter

It has been a particularly rainy year here in New South Wales. The blessing of the ongoing rainfall has reduced the need for watering your lawn, but even still, many of our clients are still opting to replace their lawn with artificial turf. There are a number of benefits to an artificial turf lawn, and with these benefits in mind, we’ve compiled a list of uses for artificial turf in Australia.

The Best Uses for Fake Grass

Here are 7 great way to use artificial turf:

Use Artificial Turf for Pets

Dog owners know the plight of letting your dog go to the bathroom on the lawn all too well. Regular toileting on grass leads to unsightly brown patches, dead spots and muddy sections - especially if your pooch is prone to indulging in a little bit of digging.

Fake grass is a great alternative for dog owners. 

Replacing your lawn with artificial turf means your grass will stay lush and green, now matter what your pooch throws at it. Most artificial turf is hard wearing and resistant to digging. Best of all, cleaning artificial turf is as easy as hosing it down as needed.

Use Artificial Turf for Play Areas

Fake grass is a great option for play areas, or for under swingsets. Real grass is vulnerable to heavy foot traffic, and the feet of tiny humans tend not to be too conscious of lawn care and maintenance.

Artificial turf is a great solution to ensure your lawn will stay gorgeous, even under a well-used swingset, cubbyhouse, or other play apparatus.

Use Artificial Turf for Backyard Sports

For families into sports, artificial turf makes the perfect ground cover for creating an area to practice and play sports. Fake grass is great for building a level area for soccer, rugby, and even basketball for those keen to install a basketball hoop.

Use Artificial Turf for a Putting Green

Here in the Hunter, we love our golf! Imagine what it would be like to have your own space, in your own backyard to practice your putting. It is possible with artificial turf.

Fake grass allows you to customise your backyard putting green to be the perfect size and shape for you. It is also a great to cover up unsightly concrete slabs, weathered decks, or ailing grass.

Use Artificial Turf for Outdoor Entertaining Areas

For yards that doesn’t have decks large enough to accommodate a seating or dining area, well-installed artificial turf is an excellent alternative. The durability of artificial turf, and how easy it is to clean, make it perfect for outdoor entertaining areas.

Use Artificial Turf Inside Your Pool Fence

Chemicals from pools can be harmful to real grass which makes fake grass a great option for homeowners with pools. Another tick for artificial turf is that, when wet, it is not slippery like pavers, tiles or decking.

Use Artificial Turf on Your Balcony

Artificial turf is great for those living in condos and apartments as it give you the opportunity to create a lawn on your balcony. This is especially useful for people in multistory dwellings who own dogs. It means, even if you are on the tenth floor, your pampered pooch will still have access to a lovely outdoor area.
