Want a Gorgeous Lawn Without the Work? Just Fake It!

July 6, 2016 | By webadmin

There’s no doubt, Texans love their lawns. But, our Texas climate and inconsistent weather can make growing a lush lawn a challenge. Shade trees, especially, can be the biggest obstacle to a thick healthy lawn. Perhaps you have areas of high traffic where the lawn just won’t hold up. Or, pets that constantly destroy spots around your lawn. These and many other factors can spell disaster for a once lush lawn. If you tried, failed...and tried and failed again to keep your lawn looking the way you want it to, we have an unconventional solution for you: Faux Turf. We know that an artificial lawn might sound like an odd suggestion from a company committed to live plants, but it does have its purpose and can sometimes be the best solution for a troubled live lawn area.

We installed a gorgeous artificial lawn as part of this contemporary home remodel. Once it was installed in spring, we had a few days of rain. The result? Within hours of the rain stopping, not even the kids or pets could track mud or wetness into the home!

Improved Quality

Technology has come a long way in the last few years and you might be surprised at how real the new options look.These days, you can get different “varieties” of artificial lawn, as well as mixes that have a much more natural look and feel. The products are permeable, so water and pet urine can pass through to the soil below and the “lawn” can be hosed down.

Artificial EasyTurf around a pool area is a great way to reduce water damage to real grass.

Why go Faux:

• Perfect for pets. Does your dog run a bare path through your lawn? Artificial turf is durable and resists wear and tear from pets. Imagine...no more muddy footprints! Live in a patio home or condo? Place a patch of EasyTurf on your patio, balcony or small yard for your pets to potty on. It’s easy to clean. Just pick up droppings, rinse off with a hose and you’re done.    
• Antimicrobial and hypoallergenic surface. Allergic to grass? EasyTurf is for you! Concerned with the aftereffects of pet waste? Once rinsed off, EasyTurf is safe to walk on.
• Improved drainage. Rain, pet waste and spills permeate EasyTurf by way of its proprietary MaxxFlow technology. EasyTurf offers a completely permeable backing allowing for 100% drainage.
• Suppresses weeds. The EasyTurf backing provides a barrier for weeds. Grass will be weed free!
• Shade friendly. Because grasses are sun-loving plants, live lawns will struggle to survive in shady locations. No amount of extra water or fertilizer can fix that. Artificial turf can be used in areas with too much shade for live lawns.
• Realistic look and feel. With realistic intertwined blade color variations and blade heights, EasyTurf mimics real grass. Plus, EasyTurf is incredibly soft underfoot.
• Low maintenance. EasyTurf stays evergreen without the use of water, pesticides, fertilizers, mowing or weeding.You’ll save resources, money and time.
• Eco-Friendly. Because EasyTurf obviously has no need for pesticides or fertilizers, your chemical exposure in the landscape can be reduced. EasyTurf is also made in part of recycled materials, and it’s recyclable.
• Year-round playability. Rain, shine, winter, summer...the grass is always green. Kids and pets can play all year round on EasyTurf.
• Durable, with a great warranty. EasyTurf has 15-20 year life expectancy, the longest in the industry. Plus, it has a comprehensive and solid 15 year warranty.
• American made. EasyTurf is manufactured in the USA.
