Anaheim Can Benefit From More Artificial Turf

Anaheim California is known for it's ability to grow nearly any plants, including fruit trees.  Anyone who has ever tried to grow citrus knows how difficult it is, the temperatures need to be perfect all year in order to grow fruit.  While grass is not nearly as hard to grow, it also benefits from the near perfect year-round weather of the area.  For this reason, most people in Anaheim will have lush yards that are filled with plants and green grass, yet most of these people probably do not realize that without sprinklers and automatic watering systems none of these plants would survive.  California is actually far closer to a desert climate than most realize, and the reason that it has become lush is through manmade interventions and planting of items that are not native to the area.  We created the look and feel of southern California by bringing in things that do not grow here typically, and through the ample access to water to feed them we see them thrive.  The issues happen when there is suddenly not enough water to keep them healthy, and the summers are getting hotter.

For the past several years southern California has been in a pretty severe drought situation, with not nearly enough rainfall to fill the reserve water supply up to a level that is necessary to make sure there is drinking water for all residents.  When this happens, Orange County automatically begins conservation efforts by restricting the wasting of water, primarily through the restrictions on watering your lawn.  You are not allowed to water your grass outside of specific times and lengths of time during drought emergencies, and unfortunately that is almost never enough time to keep your grass green and healthy.  Many people over the past two years have seen their lawns turn drown and even die, and now they face the decision of either replacing and fixing their current lawns or going a different route with the funds that would be spent in that way.  There is no way to tell if the drought will continue this summer, so residents may be completely wasting their money by reseeding grass that will only die in the summer heat in a few months.  Some smart home owners are going the route of desert landscaping, and others are keeping the green grass look by installing artificial turf.

Artificial turf is a synthetic plastic product that is designed to look and feel just like real living grass, only without the need to be watered or cared for.  It works very much like a carpet that is staked to your ground in order to maintain a tight feel and prevent bagging, and when professionally installed it can be hard to tell it is not real grass.  Anaheim can benefit from more residents installing artificial turf, allowing the region to remain lush looking while still conserving water that is necessary to provide to humans and animals.  Best of all it saves you money in water bills and landscaping charges over the years, and while you are watching your neighbors suffer with a dying lawn, you can be out enjoying yours.  Contact Coastal Greenscapes today to find out more about artificial turf installations.
