Weeds are notorious for devouring resources meant to nourish your grass—soil, water and nutrients—which makes them unwelcome in any backyard. They’re also difficult to remove completely once they have invaded the yard.
Weeds are pesky enough on a regular lawn, but on a backyard putting green in Tracy? Disastrous for your game.
Luckily, synthetic grass in Tracy presents a simple solution.
Synthetic putting greens are designed with several weed-fighting features, including:
1. Weed Barrier
A critical component of an artificial putting green is its weed barrier—a landscaping fabric that prevents weeds from compromising your playing surface.
This special material is perforated so it doesn’t compromise drainage, yet the holes are small enough to block weeds from poking through the surface of your putting green.
2. Sub-base Weeds
A putting green’s sub-base layer is usually made of decomposed granite or Class II road base, depending on the specifics of your project.
The sub-base acts as the “soil” of artificial grass. It’s the foundation of the entire installation, making sure everything is nice, flat and secure.
It also stops weed seeds from sprouting by blocking light and restricting access to everything above the sub-base.
3. Infill
The infill is the stuff that gives your synthetic grass that lush, green look and feel—and it’s a weed-stopping powerhouse.
It works much like the weed fabric and the sub-base. Infill blocks everything weed seeds need to germinate (e.g. sunlight, water and oxygen) while creating an impermeable layer in the off-chance a few seeds do sprout through the weed fabric or sub-base.
4. Artificial Grass against Weeds
The final line of defense against weeds on your putting greens is that beautiful synthetic turf itself.
Not only does this material look, feel and play like the real thing (so you can play golf in your backyard putting green every day, all year long), it’s able to withstand a direct weed attack.
Let’s say a stubborn weed manages to poke through the protective layers of your putting green. You’ll find that they’re super easy to pull out, because they won’t be able to establish deep and strong roots. They’re unable to damage the synthetic grass because it’s a man-made material.
Each of these features makes your backyard putting green in Tracy a nearly impenetrable fortress against weeds.
The only thing you need to worry about? How to perfect your short game and lower your golf handicap.
