Back Nine Greens backyard putting greens, commercial synthetic turf, artificial grass for landscaping, and artificial grass for dogs can be designed to fit almost any unique space Back Nine Greens are headquartered in Palm Desert, California, they are premier designers and installers of backyard putting greens with outdoor putting green turf, in addition to specializing in all types of synthetic lawn applications including commercial artificial grass which is often installed in high-traffic communal areas, artificial grass for bocce ball courts, turf for playgrounds and sports fields, partial or complete lawn makeovers, and artificial turf for dog run areas. One of the advantages of installing artificial grass is the drive to be more environmentally friendly. With some areas prone to drought, perhaps with limits on the amount of water that can be used or days of the week that are restricted for irrigation, artificial grass does not require the high maintenance entailed with setting up, tuning, and then repairing and sustaining an irrigation system that would be necessary to keep traditional live turf healthy and green. Synthetic turf remains green year-round with no irrigation. Water always has to be a consideration when planning a project to install artificial turf, although the design requirement is more about nature’s downpours than man-made irrigation. Rainfall and snow across some parts of the United States can sometimes be heavy, so drainage is one of the important factors to be considered when drafting the initial design for the space to be landscaped. Another environmentally friendly factor when weighing the potential benefits of artificial grass is the absence of pesticides to deter insects and fertilizers to encourage the growth of natural grass. When they are applied to traditional sod lawns, there is inevitably a run-off into the environment, and there is also a cost in terms of purchasing the chemicals and the time taken to apply them. Artificial grass is not an attractive home for insects and bugs, therefore there is no need to treat the synthetic turf once it is installed. Some people are also sensitive to grass-based allergens, these are also removed when the grass is replaced with synthetic grass. There are some areas of a golf course or putting green that gets more foot traffic than others, around the tee for instance. It is common to see damage to the grass in that area, just as the grass leading onto an enclosure or into a park can get worn down and discolored even when the remainder of the natural grass looks to be healthy. When thinking about an example on a sports field, it could be the analogy of the bases on a baseball court compared to the outfield. It may also be the case that a recent rain shower has left a natural grass surface so waterlogged that it would be dangerous to play on it, or the grass may sustain too much damage if it were to be played on in that state. This is another major advantage of artificial grass, in that it is designed
