What is the number one thing that screams at you when you look at a home? The yard! Yet, is the lawn screaming at you because it’s the most gorgeous lawn you’ve ever seen, or is it the most hideous lawn you’ve ever seen? Let’s hope it’s not the latter, but if it is, we’re here to help turn the dull and patchy into your dream landscape! Every homeowner wants the best lawn on the block, but how can one keep a lush, green yard? Factors such as soil compaction, pests, improper lawn care practices, and lack of sunlight can diminish the beauty of your outdoor space. The solution to this problem is synthetic turf! 

What can cause my landscape to be ugly?

Trying to keep a well manicured and healthy lawn can be difficult due to Dallas’s challenging climate. Your grass will struggle to survive and create patches if it has limited sunlight. This can be caused by buildings, trees, and other structures; but, with insufficient sunlight, photosynthesis is restricted and this will cause thinning and growth prevention for your grass.

Soil compaction and poor drainage can also affect how your grass looks. They both are restrictions that can be caused by things such as heavy foot traffic and other activities. 

Pests and lawn diseases have been a growing issue in Dallas as well. They damage grass by leaving behind patches, discoloration and thinning. 

Lastly, the most common way to have a poor landscape is improper lawn care practices. Neglecting your yard can result in random dull and patchy spots throughout your lot. 

How can I revive my dull and patchy lawn or avoid it altogether?

If your lawn has been a victim of any of these factors, here are the steps to having a lush, green lawn all the time!

1. Remove any debris and the existing grass

2. Prepare the soil and address drainage problems

3. Install a proper base for your artificial lawn

4. Laying and securing the synthetic grass

5. Properly installing the infill and brushing

Synthetic turf is a valuable and popular replacement for natural grass. Although, having real grass for your yard sounds enticing, having fake grass has too many benefits to turn down! The artificial turf is:

1. Low-maintenance

2. Durable and long lasting

3. Keeps a consistent appearance

4. Conserves water

5. Is safe and comfortable

6. Versatile

7. Environmentally friendly

Choosing a synthetic lawn for your outdoor space will have you saying goodbye to your frustrations of the upkeep for your natural lawn and saying a big hello to your aesthetically pleasing, low-maintenance alternative! The world of synthetic grass can elevate your landscape to new heights, but only if you let it!
