Unique Ways to Use Artificial Turf

Unique Ways to Use Artificial Turf http://www.heavenlygreens.com/blog/unique-ways-to-use-artificial-turf @heavenlygreensArtificial turf isn't just for lawns and landscaping. It can also be used to create accents or functional areas both in and outside of the home. Extremely durable and stain resistant, artificial grass can be used in place of traditional carpeting as well as for decorative purposes. From borders to throw rugs, artificial turf can be used for almost anything you set your mind to.


Designer Stepping Stones and Footpaths


Artificial turf is easy to cut and can be made into almost any shape or size. Instead of traditional stepping stones, you can cut artificial turf into pads of different shapes (feet, hands, footballs, or any other shape you desire). You can also cut strips of artificial turf to create footpaths. You can make them straight, curvy, narrow or wide. How you guide visitors through your lawn is completely up to you. You can make paths along the borders of your landscaped areas or you can create new paths that follow their own direction.


Build A Patio Around the Pool


If you have an above ground pool, you can build a large surround and cover it with artificial turf. This gives it the look of an in ground pool without the slippery cement. Covering the surround with turf also helps to keep the pool clean. As kids and adults walk across it to get to the pool, dirt and grass are easily brushed off.


You can also make a path around an in ground pool that will prevent slip and fall accidents when the cement gets wet. Along with keeping the pool clean, it also prevents furniture from sliding across the concrete once the area gets wet.


Create a Greenspace On Your Balcony


For individuals who live several floors above ground, having their own greenspace is close to impossible. Instead of leaving the concrete of the balcony or patio exposed, cover it with artificial grass and notice the difference. Even a small area will look more like a small lawn. It can be easily vacuumed or swept with a broom when its time for to be cleaned. Having a greenspace can be incredibly relaxing, especially if you want to decompress after a long, stressful day at work.


Carpet Your Playroom with Artificial Turf


Artificial turf can be used as carpeting inside the home. Put it in the “man cave” or carpet your child's play room. It gives them the opportunity to play on “grass” even if the weather outside isn't cooperating. Children of all ages enjoy the feeling of fresh grass under their feet. When the weather prevents them from being outside, artificial grass is the next best thing.


Unique Wall Design


Because it is so easy to cut into shapes, unique wall hangings and designs can be cut out and placed on the walls, floors or anywhere else you might decide to put them. It can be used to line shelves and atop mantle pieces.


Odds and Ends


Bits and pieces of artificial turf can be used to line serving trays for tailgating parties, make seat cushions or placed on the seats of picnic tables. It can be used as pads for under swings and slides to keep the area from getting bare from constant foot traffic. 

 

Artificial turf has many uses over and above the most traditional ones. Use your imagination and you can find a hundred and one uses for this versatile material. Its resistance to stains makes it an ideal carpet option for anywhere that children and pets play or spend time. The color that it provides to an area can completely change the look and feel of a room or patio, making it a perfect place to enjoy a morning cup of coffee or a cool beverage on a hot afternoon. Spruce up any area with a little green and see how it can improve your living space.
