The Beautification of Lawns with Turf

Grass is only beautiful when it’s green. But without the proper maintenance, natural grass can be patchy, brown, and ugly. The easy way out would be to lay down concrete or bricks, but that won’t be as natural-looking or inviting. There’s something so serene about having greenery, specifically grass. And that’s why having everlasting green artificial grass is the best option.

Most people already know the benefits of having synthetic grass include zero watering, mowing, or fertilizer. But the everlasting and luscious green aesthetics are sometimes overlooked. Not only does turf require little to no maintenance, it looks and feels just like natural grass. It’s impossible to take care of natural grass the same way as artificial turf–your lawn would become brown and patchy before you know it.

In addition to the low-maintenance and everlasting greenery, synthetic grass comes in a wide range of products that vary in lengths, thickness, and color. The best part? With the occasional rinse and groom, turf will always be the color and size that was originally installed.

Turf fibers will stand upright like real grass blades, giving it that full and luscious look of grass. There are many turf products for different types traffic, but even the low-traffic products will require a lot of activity to flatten the turf blades. Flattened turf blades can be easily fixed by raking or brushing the grass to fluff them back to their upright positions.

For years to come, your turf installation will be lusciously green and you will be just as happy as day one. At OC Turf and Putting Greens, we back up all of our products with a 15-year limited warranty provided by our manufacturer, Synthetic Grass Warehouse. Give us a call today and let’s talk about how we can make your lawn green and beautiful again.

3 Surprising Ways Turf Benefits Your Poolside Experience

In the state of California alone, there are over 1.18 million residential swimming pools, making it the state with the most pools in all of the United States. Can you believe it? Many residents have found that having a pool in their own backyard is a wonderful and luxurious investment, but some are even happier with the synthetic grass installation around it. Pool turf installation is the perfect choice for your backyard and here’s why:

1. Aesthetics – It Simply Looks Better

No matter how much artificial turf you decide to install, the pop of color from the never fading green will make your backyard and swimming area more inviting and beautiful than just concrete. The evergreen turf is unique and will be customized to your vision and property. It can be installed up to the pool’s edge, making the landscape seamless and look relaxing. The synthetic grass next to the water makes your backyard a naturalistic oasis.

2. Clean and Contamination-Free

The green-alternative to turf is natural grass, but there are a few problems that come with it apart from the lawn maintenance. As soon as you get out of the pool and step into real grass, the dirt beneath you will become mud. Your dirty feet will collect mud, stray grass blades, and other debris which then will be trekked across the yard, into your home, or back into the pool. Synthetic grass will drain the pool water so there won’t be any mud, and the built-to-last material will prevent stray grass blades from going anywhere.

3. Better Drainage, Less Puddles & Increased Safety

All of our residential turf products have a drainage rate of 28 inches of rain per hour per square yard, meaning our turf is more than capable of draining excess water that splash out of the pool or drip off while you’re drying. Natural grass will result in mud puddles and concrete will result in puddles of water; both of which can be very slick and slippery. No more fear of falling when people are walking a little too fast (or running) around the pool! Turf will be much cooler than concrete, literally. With TigerCool (which is in 2/3 of our residential turf products), you’ll be comfortably walking barefoot before and after your swim.

With these 3 amazing benefits, artificial turf is shaping out to be the prime choice to be next to your pool. Convinced you have the perfect solution for your poolside experience yet? Give us a call and we’d love to help you pick the perfect synthetic grass product and landscaping design for your backyard.

Enhancing your Summer with Artificial Grass

Summer is the prime time for fun in the sun. It’s a great opportunity for soaking in Vitamin D and spending some quality time with loved ones. And just when you thought it couldn’t get any better, it does. Turf will enhance your summer fun outside without going off your property. Artificial grass isn’t just for making your home look good, there’s a lot more to it.

#1 – Sports. This is a no brainer since a lot of sports fields are turf. In a big open turf area, you could play football, soccer, ultimate frisbee, baseball, field hockey, or maybe even Quidditch. Many people have concerns about it getting too hot on turf, but with TigerCool technology, having on turf is a lot cooler (learn more about TigerCool in our last blog: link).

#2 – Golf. Even though this technically falls under the “Sports” category, putting greens is one of our specialties and we’ll cater to your golfing needs. Whether you want a large putting field or a small one, your golfing endeavors won’t need to compromise from our end.

#3 – Playgrounds. If you already have a playground or want a playground in your yard, you don’t have to give up turf too. Turf installation with playgrounds is very common and offers a safe padding for children if they fall. There’ll be no grass or dirt stains on their clothes and the turf is incredibly durable.

#4 – Pools. In the hot summer sun, it’s always a nice feeling being able to jump into the pool, but if you have concrete those puddles of water next to the pool are a hazard, and real grass will just get muddy. Our products have a great drainage system that would be perfect for poolside use as well as compliment overall aesthetic.

#5 – BBQ’s and Parties. Go ahead and host as many parties as you want. Turf is allergen-free, insect-free, and durable enough to handle all your guests. And with your newly installed turf, you’re definitely going to want to show it off to all your friends.

Enhance your summer experience by installing turf in your yard and you definitely won’t regret it. Give us a call today and let’s get you and your family hanging out on your fresh turf ASAP!

The Technology of Artificial Grass

When artificial grass first launched, the technology and materials that were used to create realistic synthetic grass did not exist. The whole neighborhood would know if you had artificial turf, since it was lime green and very unrealistic. As technology has developed, turf started featuring multiple blade colors, longer blade lengths, and improved durability. There are now so many artificial grass options that enhance your home’s landscape with the updated products now available on the market.

TigerTurf has been a leader in innovation, and our products have always pushed the envelope. With materials manufactured by Tencate, a world renowned innovator in yarn blade technology, not only is artificial grass aesthetically beautiful, it is also engineered to withstand different levels of foot traffic with a variety of designated blade shapes. Each series features a blade shape that ranges in durability levels from light to heavy, allowing you to choose the perfect turf choice for your specific situation.

Our products feature brown thatches for added realism that blend in beautifully with any natural surrounding. Our inventory also features an efficient drainage system, vital for any landscape area that’s prone to flooding. In fact, our turf features a perforated backing that allows 30+ inches of rain to drain per square yard per hour, vastly better than a natural lawn!

Beautify your home by upgrading to a synthetic grass lawn. Today’s homeowners are busier than ever before. Make your life a bit easier with a low maintenance landscape alternative that is advanced, natural, and beautiful.

Daylight Savings & Enjoying Turf

The month of March brings back the later sunsets that we’ve missed so dearly. Now with daylight savings rapidly approaching, it’s time to enjoy your synthetic grass lawns for longer! A synthetic grass lawn creates a fun, safe and enjoyable landscape for families and pets. Whether you like to kick back or enjoy an active lifestyle with your family and friends, artificial turf allows you to take the time to appreciate your lawn and the people around you!

Now that we’ve got daylight for longer, you can enjoy a wide variety of activities outside in the yard. Here’s some fun things you can do as we say hello to longer sunlight.

If you enjoy hosting parties and get togethers, use your artificial turf as a beautiful setting for all your hosting. Have some friends over for an outdoor dinner party that is void of bugs and mud. Your turf is going to keep allergies away and make all those selfies look picture perfect.   

If it has been a while, call up some family members for a weekend barbecue. Get outside with your family, kids, and relatives and enjoy the sun and the grass at the same time. Dad can barbecue in a great setting. Moms can enjoy her glass of wine while lounging in a fantastic landscape. Kids can play both allergy and mud free all day long. It’s the perfect use of the extended sun and the turf.

You can spend more time outside with all your furry friends. When it gets dark early, playing fetch with your dogs seems bleak, dark, and ultimately unfulfilling. You can’t even see the ball, much less throw it. Now that the sun is out again, you can come home from work to a pet friendly landscape that allows for you to play and appreciate your puppy on a turf product that’s safe, reliable, and always beautiful.

Before daylight savings, you had to wait for the weekend to practice your putting, but now we have the sun again! You can get outside on the green and get weekend golf ready right after work. No more waiting and no more golfing in the dark. You’ll be the most prepared person on the course on Saturday because you took advantage of the sun!

With a synthetic grass lawn you can finally enjoy your weekends at home without the worry of weekly maintenance. From backyard barbecues to sunbathing, take advantage of the extra sunlight and go out and enjoy your artificial grass lawn. No need to worry about an uneven play area for kids and pets. Enjoy the benefits having a beautiful, safe and durable landscape that allows you to entertain and create memories with loved ones!

At OC Turf and Putting Greens, we provide our homeowners with the safest, plushest and most durable synthetic grass products in the industry. It is our duty to provide the finest synthetic grass installations and best customer service possible.
