Top 3 Reasons Why You Should Install Artificial Turf In Your School

Posted by Matt Garrabrants on Feb 07, 2013

You can install artificial turf in school lawns and playgrounds as you do in your backyard or commercial properties. School grounds are ideal candidates for the installation of artificial grass for a variety of reasons. First and foremost is the fact that pupils play havoc with the grass in lawns. They tear the plants and saplings and it is difficult to control them. Schools thus regularly have to replace natural grass and this is a time consuming undertaking that also comes with a financial strain. It is thus better to replace natural grass with fake turf.

1. Artificial Turf is Resilient
The best feature of artificial turf is its resilience. Fake turf is made from synthetic materials that can better manage the stress of being installed in a school. There are many varieties of fake grass with some having a very sturdy construction. Average varieties of artificial grass are still much stronger than natural grass that it would be difficult for children to break them apart. The fibers are packed tightly together and there is enough gravel present to keep the fake turf in its place.

It is important to keep the resilience factor in mind as school students love to destroy grass. The carnage is not limited to elementary or junior high students as high school pupils also love to partake in the activity. Presence of a sturdier variety of fake turf will make it difficult for them to wreak havoc. This will ensure that the fake grass will stay longer than its natural counterpart. The best part about fake grass is that it does not wilt and die like natural turf. This ensures that the grass will remain greener in your school for many months to come.

2. Artificial Turf is easier to Install
Fake turf can be installed in a few hours, depending on the area on which you want to add the grass. You will not need to prepare ground for the installation as you would do with natural grass. All you will need is a level surface and an assortment of nails, industrial staplers, glues and scotch tapes. The installation process starts by taking the measurement of the area in which you want to install fake grass. This is followed by cutting the grass rolls as per specifications and securing them to the ground with the help of nails, staplers and glue. The final step is that of using a roller to keep the fake grass in a standard shape and consistency.

3. Artificial Grass is Economical
Some schools have to rely on the services of gardeners to keep up their lawns and play areas. This is not a free undertaking as you will have to spend money on hiring their services. As for the artificial grass, you will only need to spend on the initial installation and there will be no future spending. The only maintenance required will be that of watering the fake turf and removing debris, which you can do without hiring external help.

All things considered, artificial turf is ideal for installation in schools. It is not only durable but also an economical alternative to natural grass.
