How to choose your artificial turf and types

 The routine of raking, trimming, weeding, fertilizing, watering became tedious. So you decided to leave behind the endless tasks in the garden, and enjoy those spaces in a more practical way: installing artificial turf. The installation of synthetic grass has become a common practice, and with technological advances it is increasingly difficult to distinguish it from natural grass.

    After you've made your decision, you have doubts about how to select the artificial turf that best suits your environmental needs. Therefore these brycus tips have been written under the premise of guiding you in two important aspects: identification of those needs, and the solutions offered by different types of artificial turf.

Necessity of natural appearance and tone

     If you plan on artificial turf to imitate as exactly as the grass you had in your garden, giving it a great naturalness, fortunately there is an impressive range of products in different shades of green for you to choose from, and there are even multi-tone, and others that have the added to simulate very well the presence of dry leaves, and other natural "imperfections".

     Continuing in the same tonic of looking for the natural appearance, it would be convenient for you that the leaves were of high fiber 40mm, with technology that allows the rapid recovery of the steps (in order to maintain the lawn in stupendous conditions), and leafy density. These characteristics are gathered by the Clover Pro 40mm Extra Soft model of the Gardiun brand.

     Making the lawn look realistic is the sine qua non in most projects. This is why we have placed this guideline at the head of these brycus advices.

Need for softness

     If your design includes a children's and pet's area, as well as another bordering the pool, don't think about it too much: the best choice will be a very soft and flexible lawn, with an average fibre length of 30mm, such as that offered by the Gardiun brand and its Highlands Pro 30mm model. We are talking about a space intended for constant and prolonged use for games and fun in general (children's playground).

     Very often the family garden will require a lawn with this type of consistency, because it is a very visited area. It would be very unpleasant to step on and that the artificial turf installed feels too rigid and firm.

Need for durability

Density and Short Fiber

      The area set aside for the installation of artificial turf may be subject to heavy traffic, such as a shopping centre, balcony, terraces, sports facilities and frequent visits to the garden. In this case we would put the emphasis on:

the density of artificial turf

      The density of the artificial turf, since this quality gives it more power of recovery and resistance; and in

the shortest length (20mm) of the fibre

    The shortest length (20mm) of the fiber. The Gardiun Highlands Pro brand provides 20mm curls ideal to fulfill this function.

Installation and Warranty

Correct installation

     A correct installation makes the lawn stable and lasts much longer. This is particularly important when choosing which infill to use depending on the surface (flat/slope). In addition, the aesthetic impact of this should not be overlooked.

Look for a good guarantee

     Look for a good warranty of 10 years or more. This assures you that you have purchased a high quality product.

Need for economy

     The installation of synthetic turf is considered a long-term investment, taking into account that in a period of 2 to 4 years your artificial turf will have fully amortized, being more economical than natural turf.

     The higher the quality of the turf, the more basic maintenance will be required, which results in significant savings. With Gardiun products it is possible to obtain quality at very economic prices, and in some cases quite competitive.

     We hope that this guide of brycus advices has put in your hands an important tool to make of your home and gardens the space of your dreams.
