Curb appeal is everything, especially for a commercial business in Atlanta. Your customers and clients can tell a lot from the exterior of your business. Rather quickly, they are able to notice if you are the type of establishment that keeps up with the needs of your business — and therefore, your customers — or if you’re a business that is rather careless of the finer details. 

Barren, brown grass patches, mud puddles, and other natural grass issues can quickly sour anyone’s first impression of your business. That’s why updating your outdoor commercial space with artificial grass is the perfect choice for your Atlanta business! Together, we’ll go through the core elements you should always consider when picking out the ideal artificial grass product for your commercial space.

Natural Appearance

High-quality commercial turf shouldn’t have an unrealistic hue, nor a plastic sheen or fake feel. Every feature of a worthy synthetic turf product will combine to create the most realistic-looking artificial grass possible. 3D turf fibers made with polyethylene or other high-quality synthetic components offer the same flexibility and plushness as real grass, all without the difficult maintenance. You’ll have a lush, beautiful exterior all year round, even during periods of extreme heat and drought, with little effort.

Durability & Foot Traffic Resistance

Atlanta is a busy city, and you can guarantee that almost any business in the area is going to receive a large amount of daily foot traffic. Over time, this foot traffic can harm your natural grass, creating divots and brown areas that are difficult and expensive to remedy. 

Choose synthetic turf products with an appropriate pile height and face weight to withstand constant activity. Look for products that are specifically labeled as being suitable for commercial applications, as these will have a dense, strong composition that is ideal for high-traffic commercial properties.

Effective Drainage Capabilities

There’s nothing worse than stepping into a huge, nondescript puddle right before entering a business. It can truly make or break a sale or engagement of service. Not only is pooling water an inconvenience, but it can also create unpleasant odors that disturb your customers as they enter, exit, and traverse your space. Keeping your property tidy and free from excessive puddling requires a synthetic turf backing system with efficient drainage.

Synthetic turf is specifically created with porous backings and installed with advanced drainage grids that offer superior drainage capabilities. These grids efficiently flush away water and other liquids, preventing them from accumulating on your lawn. This keeps your guests’ feet dry and their senses safe from unsavory odors.

UV-Resistance and Protection

UV rays are exceptionally strong, and you may have noticed that grass spots that receive more sun exposure tend to yellow and wither as the year progresses. It can be hard and not-so-budget-friendly to keep a natural grass lawn from discoloring over time. This is why, when opting for a new turf lawn, it is crucial to ensure any turf product you purchase comes with UV-protective capabilities. High-quality turf products will be manufactured with UV inhibitors that prevent the sun’s rays from altering the vibrant hue of the fibers, ensuring colorfastness year after year.
