Irvine Artificial Turf
In Irvine as well as most other areas of Orange County, most weather predictions are showing the summer as being a hot one. As a matter of fact, most predictions are showing that there will be many heat records broken this year, and this trend is expected to continue for the future. In addition to the summers getting hotter (which means that more water is needed) we are seeing that rainfall amounts are decreasing every year, essentially providing a one-two punch that is creating a severe drought. If you have wondered why people are letting their lawns dry out all over Orange County, it is because they have not been legally allowed to water them enough to keep them green. When water levels reach a certain low point, conservation restrictions must be placed on all residents in order to assure that there will be adequate drinking water amounts, which means that you are not allowed to waste it. Watering grass that is for nothing but ornamental purposes is considered wasteful, and is not allowed.
So what is a home owner to do if they want their landscaping to look nice but you cannot legally provide it with enough water to keep it from dying? The simple answer is to remove your grass and replace it with ground coverings that do not need water. Examples of this are crushed rock or pavers, but for those who absolutely cannot imagine a home without grass it means artificial turf. Synthetic grass is designed and manufactured to look and feel just like real grass, the only tipoff that it is fake typically coming from it looking "too perfect." It stays well manicured and green all year, no matter how little water is received, essentially making it the perfect ground covering for those looking for both a clean look as well as a soft surface for children and pets. Modern fake grass is adhered to a backing material that allows liquid to pass through, which prevents the pooling of pet urine that is inevitable for those with pets. Additional elements can be added that will further reduce the odors that come with dried pet urine, as well as any patterns that may develop in it over time because of wear patterns.
Irvine is embracing artificial turf more and more every year, with additional home owners making the switch in record numbers every year Perhaps it is just that they are sick of investing more money into landscaping every year only to have it be killed off by watering restrictions. Perhaps it is a sense of community and a desire to be ecologically friendly. Perhaps it is simply that people would rather enjoy their yard space than work on it on the weekends, and that they get to save money on top of it. At the end of the day, we are seeing Irvine switch over to smarter landscaping choices, and Coastal Greenscapes is their source for these installations.
