Southern California Artificial Turf

Artificial turf may not seem like something that is necessary in southern California, but it is more so than you realize. Our landscape has been so shaped by people that it looks almost nothing like the natural state of things, mostly because of the invention of water sprinkling systems. Previous to us being able to artificially irrigate our areas, the lush topical plants that we have come to associate with southern California areas like Orange County never could have survived. We have plenty of sun and the temperatures are consistent enough to grow almost any kind of plant, but unfortunately there is just not enough water to have them survive without assistance. Because of the ease of transporting water to the plants that need it, we have literally created a completely artificial landscape. There is nothing wrong with using resources that you have available to make the landscape more beautiful, but there comes to be a problem when you begin to choose that landscape over people.

We are in the middle of a severe drought situation in southern California, and we need to conserve water. That means that we need to sacrifice our plants and landscaping if people need the water to drink. Our grass takes about 50 gallons of water for every square foot per year, and every one of those gallons of water is needed for our neighbors to drink. We cannot choose plants over people and animals, so we all must make our sacrifices and allow our lawns to dry out for the common good of everyone. Luckily, there is a solution to the issue that will not only benefit you and save water for the community, it will also add to your property value.

Artificial turf is a perfect solution for those looking for a way to conserve water and still have a welcoming space for people and animals to play in. Artificial turf looks and feels exactly like real grass, and when it is professionally installed the one thing that is going to allow people to know it is artificial is that it just looks too perfect. There are many types of artificial turf to choose from, and there is a turf solution that is going to improve your property value by being easy to maintain while still creating a clean look.
