Top 7 Residential Turf Applications

Artificial turf has significantly evolved since its inception, both functionally and aesthetically. The improvement in its manufacturing technology has significantly contributed to its rising popularity. Besides sports fields and playgrounds, artificial turf is now extensively used in residential properties. The various artificial turf advantages have made it a popular alternative to natural grass among homeowners.

More and more homeowners now look to install artificial turf in their homes. Residential turf applications have expanded significantly in the last few years. There are several creative ways to add artificial grass to the house, from front and backyard to rooftops and patios.

This article explores the top residential artificial turf applications. 

Kids play area

Artificial turf is an ideal solution for play areas for kids and young adults. Its smooth and even surface dramatically reduces the risk of slips and falls and provides children with a soft, cushioned surface to land on, which prevents severe injuries. There are no toxic chemicals, fertilizers, or pesticides required to maintain artificial grass. It provides kids with a safe and non-toxic playing surface, especially if they suffer from allergies and other similar ailments.

For pets

Artificial grass is pet-friendly. Dogs, cats, and other pets love synthetic grass's soft and natural feel. Homeowners can use it for dog potty areas, dog runs, or in the backyard to allow pets to play and roam around freely. Artificial turf is relatively easy to keep clean and odor-free. Urine and solid waste are much easier to clean and remove in artificial grass than natural grass. Its excellent drainage means no muddy paws inside the home.

Putting greens

Artificial-grass putting greens are a blessing for golf enthusiasts who find it difficult to go out every day to play and practice their favorite game. Putting greens in the backyard or even indoors can help improve the short game. Customize the putting green to suit the yard or skills and enjoy favorite games right from the comfort of home. 

Front or backyard landscaping

Homeowners understand the time, effort, and money required to maintain a fresh and green landscape. One of the most common artificial grass applications in homes is front yard lawns or backyards. Artificial grass does not need expensive lawn equipment or spending the weekends mowing, weeding, and fertilizing. After application, artificial grass elevates the yard's beauty, and homeowners have to make minimal efforts and spend more time enjoying the inviting outdoors.

Balconies and outdoor living spaces

Artificial turf applications in balconies, decks, patios, and rooftops increase their beauty and usability and add softness and a pop of green. Other outdoor applications include driveways, walkways, under outdoor furniture, and between pavers. 

Around swimming pool

Artificial grass is excellent as a ground cover around swimming pools. It is slip-resistant, free-draining, easy and comfortable to walk on with wet and bare feet, and offers a stunning look. It is the perfect option for people who frequently throw pool parties and want a safe and stunning-looking pool area. Artificial turf is hard-wearing and can easily handle high foot traffic.

Indoors

Besides outdoors, there are several ways to incorporate artificial grass indoors. Use it as unique rugs, an indoor backyard putting greens, table covering, photo backdrops, wall décor, covering furniture, and indoor to outdoor transition areas.
