Artificial Lawns For Architects: Designing Quality Inside And Out

Artificial LawnsArchitects who design homes also design the yards and landscaping that accompanies them. They need to choose specific components for the lawn that will complement the home and its overall style. Many architects are choosing to install artificial lawns due to their overall convenience and uniform look. The visual appeal they offer is also a major benefit, especially if the home is going to be put on the market shortly after it is built.

Creative Design

Architects often strive to build homes that have a unique flair or look that sets them apart from similar homes in the same area. One of the ways to accomplish this is by exploring design options in landscaping. Artificial lawns can be installed in patterns or designs, depending on what type of look the homeowner desires.

If a homeowner wants large landscaped gardens included on the property, artificial grass can be used to create natural looking walkways that do not require mowing, trimming or watering. Artificial lawns can be added to surround the gardens, topping off the look and creating areas where children and pets can play without fear of creating bare patches in the grass. Artificial turf comes in various heights and are suitable for almost any type of activity. Learn more about designing with artificial turf.

Different Colors and Textures

Artificial lawns come in several different colors and textures. Short thick blades are ideal for dog runs and give pets the sensation of being on natural grass. Different heights of blades can be chosen according to the preference of the homeowner. Homeowner who like the look of taller grass can choose blades that are 1 ½ to 2 ½ inches in height. There are shorter blades available for those who prefer a well-trimmed, short appearance.

Artificial turf also comes in different colors. The color of the grass can be chosen to compliment the exterior of the home or to add a vibrant color in an area where there is little green to be found. Different colors can be used to differentiate between front and back yards or to highlight certain areas. For example, if the bulk of the yard is a deep emerald green, a path or walk way can be added in a darker, hunter green so that it stands out from the rest of the yard.

Homeowners who have swimming pools installed, will need to have the pool surrounded by a surface that will protect the pool dirt and debris. As people walk toward the pool to get in, they can bring with them dirt, grass and other types of debris. While cement is a good choice, it can get extremely hot to walk on in the summer months. Many people are opting to cover the cement with artificial turf. This helps to prevent dirt and debris from entering the pool and also eliminates the risk of burnt feet as people enter and exit the pool.

Recreational Areas

Architects who design homes and properties take into consideration the future owner's possible list of recreational activities. Homeowners can opt to have tennis courts, bocce courts and large putting greens on their property. Adding areas designed for certain types of sporting events eliminates the need to travel elsewhere to practice their hobby. Avid golfers can avoid expensive green fees and golf cart rentals by going out in their back yard and putting as often and for as long as they like.

Homeowners with dogs can install dog runs that are large enough to allow the dogs to run and play for hours without feeling confined or caged. These areas are easily cared for and require little to no maintenance, freeing up more time for recreational activities.
