How to choose Artificial Turf

With so many Artificial Turf varieties available, it can be difficult to make the right choice for your lawn area.

There are 3 key indicators that you should look for when making your artificial turf purchase:

1. What is the warranty - is it fade resistant - is it FIFA approved?
2. Compare the backing strength - a good, strong base will improve durability.
3. Do you have a reputable installer? Are there referees who can testify their workmanship?

The amount of traffic, or usage the area will encounter will impact your maintenance program - such as cleaning and brushing-up. Some artificial turf varieties have a very thin backing which wont be suitable for durable wear and longevity, so keep this in mind when making your choice.

ARTIFICIAL TURF FOR HOME, BUSINESS AND SCHOOLS – Wednesday 19th February 2008

Water restrictions are changing our approach to landscaping surfaces at home, business and our schools. Inadequate irrigation of natural turf leads to patchy, dusty and sometimes unusable recreation areas. With the drought further affecting Murtoa College in Victoria’s Wimmera region, the solution was to install Smart Turf & Irrigation Artificial Turf, providing the students with a practical and attractive recreational area.

Dr Joanna Day, Principal of Murtoa College has been delighted with the reaction from her students: "Over the break we laid some artificial turf at the back of the Primary section. It has proven to be a great hit with the students and is usually filled with lots of happy, smiling faces during the breaks. It has proved to be so popular that we have made it a Primary students' only area! We are really pleased with our artificial grass at Murtoa College. The students love it and it has made a dusty patch of dirt into a play area that’s useable 365 days a year. It was installed quickly and with the minimum of fuss." Dr Joanna Day - Principal (Murtoa College)

Smart Turf Artificial Turf surfaces are designed to look and feel like real grass, while providing a durable UV stabilized surface that is suited to the harsh Australian climate. “Artificial Turf appearance and manufacturing has come a long way since Astroturf, often pleasantly surprising our customers”, says Craig McLachlan - owner of Smart Turf & Irrigation. “Our site preparation and installation ensures longevity, while all our artificial turf varieties are backed with a manufacturer's warranty of up to 10 years.”
