‘Tis the season for outdoor decoration par excellence, and many communities have official contests homeowners can enter. If you’re going to enter, you might as well win, right? Here are some tips to help you create a best-dressed holiday house.

Decorating outdoors for holidays has become something of a national obsession, and not only for Christmas any more. So, now that you’ve put away your Halloween monsters and pumpkins and all those fake cobwebs, it’s time to get busy redoing your yard. Aren’t you glad you have artificial grass? Real grass would be in awful shape by now, but your artificial grass is perked-up, green, and ready to go again.

Here in the Bay Area, no apartment complex could possibly be complete without attractive outdoor living areas. Sure, tenants want a nice interior space to call home, but no one wants to spend all their time indoors when we have such splendid weather so much of the year. Single adults, families with kids, tenants with pets – they all want places to play or simply kick back and enjoy the day.

Mowing the lawn is so easy for sports complexes and golf courses. Big rectangles of grass, or gently curved edges are a piece of cake for industrial-size riding mowers. For homeowners and managers of smaller commercial properties, though, trimming the grass can be a significant challenge. Even with a more petite machine, very small or irregular-shaped lawn can simply defy mowing.

Establishing sustainable landscaping is a must for budget-conscious property managers. Water is no longer affordable. And it’s simply smart marketing to create an environment that shows you’re doing your part for the environment. One of the smartest sustainable landscaping choices you can make is installing artificial grass around your complex’s pool.

Attractive properties attract tenants, whether you’re looking to populate your property with businesses or residents. For property managers, building maintenance – including the grounds – is a major expense and an ongoing concern. Tenants expect consistent quality, because where they live or locate their offices reflects on them as well as on you. Artificial grass reduces costs, and it also entices tenants.

Everybody knows that modern artificial grass has progressed light years beyond its origin as AstroTurf. Even though it is astronomically better, though, that doesn’t mean today’s fake grass is all the same. Not all artificial grass is equally good-looking, or equally long-lasting. In some ways, that’s OK, because different products are not intended to look or perform the same.

For property owners, the cost of ongoing lawn and landscape maintenance is a major budget item. You’re always on the lookout for any way you can trim those expenses. But why think small when you can take care of the problem once and for all? The easiest way to cut lawn maintenance costs is to cut out that budget line altogether. How? By switching to artificial grass.
