Artificial turf

[songkrai]

I hope someone can chime in with some sales/installers up here.

I don't have any experience with this here. I would guess that this product is rare around here as most either prefer the woods look or clear cut and want absolute grass/lawn.

Years ago I would business travel to the IBS (International Builders Show) and I have spoken with some of the manufacturers reps. There are/is a difference in the products sold. From my experience this product is mostly sold commercially for football fields and such. Some sold and installed residentially for homes in the Southwest where rain is a premium.

If no answers here, then try searching the manufacturers of product and contacting them directly and ask if any local wholesalers or retailers then contact them.

Carpet stores may have some advice as this product is sold in rolls similiar to carpet.

Good luck. Hope someone can provide some more specific local informaton.

Lawns mean trimming, fertilizers, mowings, leafblowers, fumes and the noise that go with all that fussing.

I prefer the "woods look": although it might be a little "too woodsy" for most folks. Pine Needles, Mushrooms, Violets, Lady Slippers, and "native grasses" comprise most of it.

"Native grasses" look a lot like weeds.

But with a large resurfacing of artificial turf, wouldn't there be an issue with NHDES' "impervious surfaces"?
