AGSTurf: A Leading Trend in Landscaping
AGSTurf has identified artificial turf grass as a significant landscaping trend this year. But what exactly is it, and is it a worthy substitute for a natural lawn? Let's delve into the details, exploring what artificial turf grass is, the installation process, and its durability for your landscape.
Understanding Artificial Turf Grass
Synthetic, artificial, or fake are terms commonly used to describe the turf we install. Essentially, artificial turf grass is a synthetic form of grass crafted from various materials. Comparatively, it can be likened to carpet. The origins of artificial grass date back to the creation of 'Astroturf' by a carpet manufacturer. Here's a closer look at artificial turf grass:
High-Quality Blades: Woven into a backing material, the blades are made of UV-protected Polyethylene, ensuring resilience against the harshest weather conditions.
Lush and Lifelike: Offering a lush, life-like feel, there are various styles to choose from, ranging from thick and lush to short and compact, catering to different preferences.
Color Variety: Artificial turf grass comes in a multitude of colors, allowing for personalized choices.
Superior Water Drainage: Designed for efficient water drainage, essential to prevent bacteria buildup and odors, our turf features a proprietary backing with drainage capabilities that are 10 times faster than conventional options.
Installation Process
Proper installation involves a series of crucial steps to ensure optimal drainage and long-term maintenance. The installation process includes:
Designing Your Turf Project: This involves precise measurements and pricing to plan your turf installation.
Ground Preparation: Ensuring a well-prepared base for the turf to be installed.
Grass Installation: Skillfully placing and securing the turf in its designated area.
Infilling the Grass: Adding infill material to enhance the turf's stability and resilience.
Cleanup: Thoroughly tidying up the installation site for a neat finish.

Where Can You Utilize Artificial Turf Grass?
The beauty of artificial turf lies in its versatility. From balconies to rooftop patios, there are virtually no limitations to where you can install it. Engineered to endure extreme conditions, it thrives in scorching Texas summers and harsh winters alike.
Durability and Maintenance
Today's synthetic grass is designed to last a remarkable 10-15 years with proper upkeep. Unlike natural lawns, it spares you from the hassles of weekly mowing, seeding, sodding, fertilizing, and excessive watering.
Maintenance primarily involves solid waste removal for petscapes, weekly rinsing, and occasional deep cleaning. Additionally, you can use simple tools like rakes, brooms, and leaf blowers to keep your turf in top shape.
UV treated to prevent fading and featuring non-porous, non-allergenic fibers with antimicrobial infill options, synthetic grass is a durable and hygienic choice for your landscape.
