3 Places to Use Artificial Grass


 RC Artificial Grass offers a tailored solution and a diverse range of fake lawns so that you can get the most from your garden. Previously we've spoken about the major benefits of investing in artificial grass for your home, though we've not gone into much detail of using the lawns to their full potential. Fake lawns open a lot of doors for not only your home, but also the interior décor for your business. Below we have compiled just 3 unconventional ways and places you can use artificial grass.

Trade Shows

If the venue allows it, laying a stretch of artificial grass beneath your exhibition stands and displays can be a great way to attract attention and stand out from the crowd. Not only can you expect a lot of visitors to your stand, but fake lawns are robust and do not show signs of wear and tear easily, making them an ideal addition to events like a trade show where there is a high amount of footfall.

In addition, even if people don't visit your stand, your choice of lawn can make a huge impact on passers-by who may distinctly remember your stand, therefore helping to raise brand awareness. If you don't want to go all-out and cover the whole of your floor space, why not use patches of the lawn to display your products on? They will provide a soft cushioning for your samples and products and will stand out amongst a collection of conventional displays.

This idea of using artificial grass to draw attention to products can also be used in shops and markets to help attract attention and physically promote your product, making it memorable and unique.

Meditation Room

If you'd like to make your meditation room feel more natural, aside from taking your practice outside in the temperamental California weather, you can use artificial grass to spruce the place up a bit. Not only will this provide you with a soft carpet of realistic looking fake grass making it perfect for meditation and light yoga practice, it will also enhance the appearance of the room and takes next to no time to measure, cut and install.

Also, as these lawns are available in a variety of colors, it means that you can pick the style that best suits the existing décor of your room; from summer lawn to spring lawn, this diversity allows our consumers to mix and match at their will.

Poolside

As fake lawns drain water quickly and efficiently, they are ideal alternative to pavement by the poolside. They are both practical and appealing as they can be easily washed following a session of muddy, wet feet and look neat and tidy surrounding the pool.

If you don't want to cover the whole poolside in fake grass, you can cover select areas where people are likely to get out of the pool or create a pattern using square tiles or stones and fake lawn.

These are just three places you can use artificial grass. Do you have any more ideas for how you can use our fake lawns?

Myths Regarding Artificial Grass


Innovation in any field be it medicine, travel or technology has always had its fair share of critics. Even when the positives far outweigh the negatives, there are always a few voices of critique. Artificial grass it would seem was not spared either in that regard. It is one of the best breakthroughs in landscape design yet to this day there remain several common misconceptions. This will be the topic of today's discussion as we take a look at some of these theories and debunk them in order to set the record straight.
 
 
False Theory No. 1 - Too Expensive
Critics have long complained about artificial grass being too expensive. However, to call it too expensive is unfair. It suggests that there is a huge difference between it and natural grass cost-wise, which is simply not true at all. Anyone can afford artificial grass today.
 
Artificial grass is quite reasonably priced today. The larger the lawn, the more the cost. If there is any pre-existing grass, it would need to be taken out and the entire surface leveled. This also adds to the overall cost. The type of artificial grass used also impacts price. There are different types of grass that range in type of material used and durability. Each is different in price to allow more people the option to use them in their landscape. The truth of the matter is that artificial grass is now a very cost effective and eco-friendly way to enhance the look of your lawn.
 
False Theory No. 2 - Only Lasts 20 Years
Only 20 years? That's it? 20 years is actually a very long time! Most cars don't last this long yet people have no qualms about upgrading them after just a few years. What's so bad about artificial grass and its 20-year long durability then? Artificial grass is long lasting and its benefits can be reaped for more than a decade. In other words, one investment in artificial grass could potentially last through half your entire mortgage. A ringing endorsement by all means.
 
False Theory No. 3 - Doesn't Look Like the Real Thing
Artificial grass has evolved tremendously over the years. It can be easily installed and/or replaced with very little effort. What's more, it is hard tell the difference between a real grass landscape and an artificial grass landscape. Visually speaking, if both are placed right next to each other, you won't see any difference.
 
We hope this clarifies some misconceptions regarding artificial grass and sets the record straight. RC Artificial Grass is a renowned supplier and installer of artificial grass in the Los Angeles. We have over 10 years of experience in the supply and installation of artificial grass and artificial lawns. For more information, our complete range of products can be viewed on our website, alternatively feel free to get in touch and we will answer any queries which you may have!

How Can Artificial Grass Help With Hay Fever?

There are 12 million hay fever sufferers in U.S., all of whom will be keeping a keen eye on the weather forecasts and pollen counts as they brace themselves for an itchy, sniffly spring and summer. All winter long we have longed for milder weather and blossoming trees but now hay fever season is nearly upon us, we need to be practical and look at ways to prevent or cure its symptoms so our spring and summer isn't ruined. So if you or someone you know suffers from hay fever, this quick guide to hay fever is for you. Read on to find out what you are dealing with and how to combat it:

Hay Fever: The Basics

What Is Hay Fever?

Simply put, hay fever is an allergy to pollen. Pollen is the fine powder produced by flowers, plants and trees. It is carried from high pollen areas to the faces of hay fever sufferers by the wind, birds and bees. Grass and hay pollens are particularly aggravating to hay fever sufferers but grass pollen is the most common - and often the most severe - allergen. Spring and summer (May through July) are grass pollination season and incidentally, hay fever is at its worst during these seasons. Your immune system reacts to the pollen and causes several (in some cases debilitating) symptoms. Hay fever is the pollen affecting the cells in the lining of your nose and eyes, causing them to release chemicals that inflame the eyes and nose

What Are The Symptoms?

·         Common symptoms are:

·         A runny, itchy nose

·         A blocked nose

·         Sneezing

·         Itchy, watery and red eyes

·         An itchy throat

Less common symptoms are:

·        Loss of smell
·         Facial pain
·         Sweats
·         Headaches

How Do People Alleviate Hay Fever Symptoms?

Pollen is impossible to avoid completely but trying to limit your exposure can help. Here are some ways to go about limiting your exposure to pollen:

·         Check television, newspaper, radio and internet weather forecasts for the pollen count (the number of pollen grains per cubic metre of air) Note: a high count is 50 or more
·         Stay indoors as much as possible, keeping doors and windows closed
·         Avoid grassy places, camping and mowing/mowed lawns
·         After being outdoors (especially in the countryside) shower and wash your hair
·         Keep your car windows closed and think about investing in a pollen filter for your air vents
·         Use sprays, medication, drops and antihistamines; they can be over the counter or prescribed

Artificial Grass: The New Solution

Artificial grass is actually a great solution to hay fever because it does not contain the same irritant materials as natural grass does. Natural grass houses all sorts of irritant particles like pollen, dust and mold. When disturbed (by mowing etc.) these particles become airborne and affect hay fever sufferers, making your own back garden you worst enemy in summer months. Whilst synthetic grass won't cause your hay fever to disappear altogether, it will reduce the highly irritant grass pollen count in your immediate home vicinity so you can at least sit out and enjoy your own garden.

Other Animal Uses For Artificial Grass

Fake grass has a number of unique uses from artificial sports surfaces to indoor carpets and walls for a child's bedroom. But what about for reptiles? Artificial turf is widely used amongst reptile owners to line vivarium's; owners choose to do so for varieties of reasons that have all been compiled below for your benefit. If you're a reptile owner looking for a healthy, safe alternative to the typical calci sand bedding why not consider a fake grass carpet?

For starters, reptiles especially snakes, are fond of its strong, realistic green color as it gives the illusion that they are in their natural habitat. This will impact highly on the reptile's satisfaction as a pet and how well it takes to the vivarium if you haven't already purchased your reptile.

Furthermore, fake grass carpets are incredibly easy to clean which is beneficial as it will provide a much cleaner environment for your reptile. This is highly important for the health of your reptile.

Also, by lining your vivarium with artificial grass it will not need replacing as often as other bedding such as newspaper as it can be simply washed down when it needs to be cleaned.

If you have a reptile who loves to climb then artificial grass can be an ideal alternative as it gives them something to hook onto and explore during their time in the vivarium keeping them active and healthy.

Reptiles can make fantastic pets and given a healthy diet and appropriate enclosure can live a long while. Fake grass carpet is an ideal alternative to all forms of lizard, snake and other reptile bedding that may eventually grow weak and weary over time.

The best thing is that fake grass lawns come at a reasonable price meaning that you don't have to dish out every month on a new fake grass carpet when you can simply make one secure payment and cut it down to size when need be.

Choosing The Right Grass

When it comes to choosing the right grass you have to take some things into consideration.

The first thing that many people consider is the cost of grass and which option will be cost-effective. The two main options of grass are normal ‘real' grass and the other is the increasingly more popular, artificial grass. The cost of artificial grass might be more expensive than ‘real' grass in the outset but it more than makes its money back.

When considering maintenance, artificial grass takes a lot less upkeep than normal grass in the sense that it does not need to be cut, it doesn't change color and saves money on buying gardening tools to preserve it.

So, for many people artificial grass is the right grass. It can be installed virtually anywhere within the home, whether it is your front garden, your rear garden or even in your home or office. It can be selectively measured to fit any space and with professional installation it will fit perfectly.

Fake grass for lawns is the best option for those people who just simply do not have enough time to do the continual maintenance that comes with real grass. It is also the best option for those people that struggle to keep their garden green all year round. So for most people, it is the best option entirely.
