The Best Ways To Use Artificial Grass
We all know that live lawns require maintenance. Currently, many states are experiencing severe droughts which make constant watering an ethical quandary.
Other reasons you might consider an artificial lawn are if you travel often, or if you own rental property. Or, maybe you are looking for an alternative for a lawn where your pets can play.

In any case, when installing artificial grass, you will be thinking about both design and style. Here are some of your best options.
DRIVEWAYS
You can incorporate artificial grass between concrete slabs to create a look that seamlessly blends the driveway into the front entry area.
SHADY PATIOS
Covering your patio with artificial grass gives the space a warm feeling. It also makes it more comfortable to walk outside in bare feet for your morning cappuccino. You won’t have to worry about the area not getting any sun if your grass is artificial!
KID’S PLAY AREA
When sand makes its way out of the sandbox and on to a live lawn, it is practically impossible to get it back into the sandbox. Not so with artificial grass! Just sweep or blow it back into the sandbox without it sticking. Artificial lawns are also great for horsing around outdoors; playing soccer, catch, and more.
NON-LINEAR DESIGN
Who says your turf must be square? Experiment with different shapes to add an extra element of interest to sitting areas. How about a triangle? An octopus? You choose! Live grass would eventually grow out and not stay in a custom pattern.
PATHWAYS
The ease with which artificial grass can be cut means it can be shaped into highly modern and creative designs. Create a pathway that winds around your house, leads to your front door, or from the back patio to the pool.
FORM + FUNCTION
Create a bocce ball court, a putting green, or even a large chess board! All of these can be made with just a large strip of artificial grass.
SWIMMING POOLS
The zone around a pool can be perfect for artificial grass, as it is hard-wearing, durable and won’t get ruined by foot traffic or excess water. Insert lush artificial grass between concrete pavers around a swimming pool to provide a soft cushion under post-pool bare feet. Soften the look by choosing wood patio furniture.
CHECKERS
Give depth to a small backyard by incorporating a checker pattern of artificial grass and square pavers. This will also give your yard a manicured look.
BOLD COLORS
Because artificial grass stays bright green year-round, it works well with bright and bold objects around it. The look will stay the same no matter what the time of year or of the whether conditions. Contact your local artificial grass company in Colorado to take a look at the various shades available to you.
TOPIARY
Yes, you can buy artificial topiary! There are animals, shapes, or anything else you can think of. Get creative!
INTERIOR DESIGN
RUGS
Cut any shape of artificial grass you desire and use it as a rug in your living room, office, or anywhere in the house that could use a shock of color.
WALLPAPER
You have probably seen one wall painted a distinct color from the rest of the room. Take this style a step further and cover just one wall with artificial grass! It will add texture and mood to your room, plus, it’s a definite conversation starter.
INTERIOR HEDGES
Staple or hot glue the artificial grass to square or rectangular boxes to create the illusion of indoor hedges.
WALL TRIMMING
Cut out long strips, waves, or zig-zags to trim your walls.
VINTAGE FRAMING
Faux grass in a vintage frame is having an unlikely moment on the internet right now. Check out Pinterest for inspiration.
