Any professional artificial turf installer in Los Angeles will agree that not all synthetic turf is the same. While they aim to serve the same purpose, the degree of efficacy will vary from one company to another. Here are a few points to consider before you install artificial turf in your home or business.
1. Durability - The number of individuals and pets using your artificial turf will determine how fast the material wears out. Consider a more durable turf if you have many pets and children playing around it. However, this is easier said than done as most durable turfs have more abrasive textures. At Pet Turf Installer Los Angeles, we do not compromise on the comfort and longevity of our products. We will offer you a manufacturer’s 15-year guarantee on any product you buy.
2. Safety and Environmentally Friendliness
- Many residents of Los Angeles asked, "Is artificial turf good for dogs?" The answer to this is a resounding "Yes." Although this is the case, the concerns are genuine.
During the production of synthetic turf, some manufacturers, usually importers, used lead and other chemicals in their process. The chemicals pose health and environmental concerns for pets, humans, and mother nature.
Reputable manufacturers in this industry no longer use lead and other hazardous materials during production. They manufacture products in line with the Center for Environmental Health (CEH) directive (https://ceh.org/latest/press-releases/leading-artificial-turf-companies-agree-to-end-lead-threats-to-children/). If you recently relocated to Los Angeles and your home has turf grass, consider getting a test for lead and other toxins.
3. Color
- Fake grass can assume many shades of green like lime, olive, pistachio, pine, dark green, and more. Low-quality cheap turf uses a flat green color easily recognizable from natural grass. When selecting the suitable turf for your pets, choose a color that enhances your individual yard. Sunlight, shadows, adjacent flowerbeds, and the colors of your house are all factors. Select a turf that will complement your house and looks good in the available sun.
4. Quality
- The turf's softness, color, density, and pile height are significant determinants of its quality. Superior artificial grass has thick, soft blades with a consistent color. Typically, quality turfs now include brown thatch woven into the base of the turf to make the turf look more realistic.
We provide product specification sheets, so you know the quality, durability, and recommended usage from the manufacturer.
5. Infills
– Infill plays a crucial part when it comes to pet turf. The choice of the material determines the uprightness of the grass, drainage levels, and odors. The kind of infill plays a crucial part in the softness, trapping of bacteria, and heat emissions. For example, rubber is soft, transfers heat when pets
walk on it and can trap some bacteria.
