Landscaping Ideas With Aritificial Grass

Mini Golf Course Area

• To create a miniature putting green, use artificial grass to cover part of the backyard. You must create a drainage system before adding the filler dirt underneath the future turf landscape. The artificial grass serves as the decorative finish and as a smooth surface for putting. If you want to recycle the golf balls that land in the hole, incorporate an underground PVC piping system into the overall landscape design.

Side Yard Garden

• If you have a lot of potted plants, display them in a small side yard garden. Artificial turf will create the illusion of a green area. Then you can add as many potted plants as you like. The most important thing for even a small area of turf is a drainage system. The water must run off the turf-covered surface and into the ground where it can be absorbed or down to the street where it can seep into a storm drain.

Garbage Can Pad

• You might also want to create an attractive place to store garbage cans and recycling bins on the side of the home. Cover a mulched or gravel area, or even a concrete slab, with artificial grass. Maintain the cleanliness of the plastic turf surface by spraying it with water from time to time. This surface will blend in easily with real grass in the side yard.

Planter Landscaping

• If you plan to cover a lawn area with rock or gravel, or even a huge mulched space, use artificial grass to create green spaces in small planters around the area. You can plant a real or artificial tree or bush in the center of this landscape and cover the planter surface with green artificial grass. Drainage under faux grassy planters should be part of the overall drainage scheme for rock or gravel landscapes.
