Reasons to Install Artificial Turf on Your Balcony or in a Patio Area

Every house has that one spot that is an escape from the everyday hustles and daily chores. It is the perfect space for rejuvenation of the mind, body, and soul.  

Generally, the special space is located in the yard, a spot that can act as the retreat after a long day at work. But for those without personal yards, such as townhouse or condominium owners, a balcony or even a tiny patio fulfills the need quite well.

 A balcony or patio provides an enlarged space for several leisure activities that could be as simple as having a nice cup of tea in the armchair to something special like having a little outdoor dinner in the open.

Even the tiniest of spaces can be made into an area or respite and rejuvenation.

Turning your balcony or patio into your private oasis can be a fun-filled activity for the family. Out of the numerous ideas that one can consider, using artificial turf tops them all.

 And why not? Using artificial grass in your balcony or patio has a number of pros that can't be ignored.

Saves water

In a city like Phoenix, where efficient per-capita use of water is ideal, it is wise to turf your balcony with something that'll never want for that extra gallon. 

With every drop of water being a valuable one, artificial grass outshines the practice of watering the lawn to keep it green and fresh. At the same time, artificial turf doesn't compromise the appearance. 

Saves time

Time is one of the most precious things today, and the efficient use of water is every Valley resident's priority. 

As opposed to natural grass, the time it takes to deal with an artificial turf is nominal. Artificial grass allows for the enjoyment of a green grass area without spending time on trimming, mowing, and watering because the time spent on maintaining an artificial turf is minimal and thus highly favorable.

Saves money 

From seeding and reseeding to the first watering of your natural grass, costs mount. If you hire a professional to assist in installing a watering system and soil amendments, the prep work, and other tasks, the costs keep climbing. Not just that, the regular mowing, weeding, and fertilizing of the natural turf will ensure that you spend money on an ongoing basis, which eventually becomes an expensive affair.

With artificial grass, these costs are reduced to a great extent, as the outlay is limited to the initial installation. The subsequent costs are negligible and pose less burden on the homeowner. 

Easy to maintain 

Cleaning and maintaining an artificial turf is super easy and cost-effective.

 Brushing off the dust and the debris is possible using a broom or blower, while stains and spills can be cleaned with a wet cloth. It is advisable to keep pets away from an artificial turf because the excretion on the green carpet would be challenging to get rid of unless there is underlying soil.

 But, there is also no way that your artificial grass will turn yellow if a pet has an accident on artificial patio turf, so that is a great feature.  

The aesthetics

Last but not least, the sight of green grass on your balcony or patio surrounded by indoor and outdoor plants will be an appealing sight to enjoy. 

With the right accessories in the form of furniture, lighting, and other decorative pieces, your mornings, as well as evenings, are all set to bring good vibes.

The decision to install artificial grass in your patio or balcony is likely to bring no regrets, for synthetic turf creates a desirable, maintenance-free oasis.

If you haven't installed artificial turf yet, now is probably a great time to turn your outdoor space into a zone that could be open for reading a book, meditating, having some family time, or just sitting under the sky enjoying nature.
