Installing Artificial Turf Around Your Swimming Pool
If you have a swimming pool in your backyard or are looking to install one, you might notice that the perimeter of the pool getting slippery as a result of splashing and water displacement or you may also notice that pavement exposed to the sun overheats making barefoot walking when entering your swimming pool unbearable during the city’s notoriously hot summers.
Artificial grass in Toronto not only enhances the appearance of your backyard when installed poolside, it also creates a long lasting solution to these common problems caused by concrete. At Echoing Green our artificial grass is treated for UV Protection, protecting the synthetic turf from heating up too much even in the hot Toronto sun.
Also our turf’s effective drainage capabilities facilitates the flow of water away from the surface to reduce slippery surfaces, unlike concrete. Thick under padding added during the installation of artificial grass in Toronto, creates a safer environment, minimizing injuries in the event of unlikely slips and falls.
Artificial Grass for Garden Landscaping
For many Torontonians, a backyard garden is your own personal oasis that you invest both time and energy into. Because natural grass is organic and often difficult to manage, it has the tendency to negatively impact vegetable and flower gardens, bringing pests and weeds that take away from the look and functionality of a garden.
You can help your backyard garden flourish by replacing natural grass with synthetic turf, as it is better equipped to deter pests. When artificial grass is used in place of natural grass for landscaping, the chances of weeds popping up are significantly reduced. At Echoing Green, artificial grass installed over dirt is typically installed without any topsoil, which virtually eliminates the potential for garden intruders in the soil. Also, our team of experienced installation specialists use high quality weed barriers to suppress any weeds from penetrating the pristine surface of your artificial lawn and spreading to neighbouring gardens.
When it comes to mosquitoes, flies, and other pesky insects that take a liking to natural grass and garden plants, artificial grass is the key to deterring them as well. Mosquitoes are attracted to stagnant water, so when you install well-draining artificial grass from Echoing Green, you can count on water to keep flowing even after heavy rainfall, minimizing the welcomeness to mosquitoes. Our artificial grass is also installed with antimicrobial infill that deters other pests and fleas by reducing the opportunity for mold and bacteria to take hold in gardens.
