Lawn diseases can take many forms, from rings to slimes, threads, brown patches and spots. And once your yard gets sick, it can be hard – sometimes impossible – to treat. It’s bad enough having to deal with these on a regular lawn, but in a backyard putting green? Disastrous for both your wallet and your game. With artificial grass putting greens in Manteca, you’ll never have to think about pesky grass diseases again.
How Artificial Grass Prevents Lawn Diseases
Live grass and natural putting greens are delicate and high-maintenance. Overwater it, and the roots can drown and rot. Too little, and you risk drying it out.
It’s also vulnerable to everything from changing weather conditions to high foot traffic and weeds. It takes so much work to keep it alive!
Worse, natural grass gets sick easily, too. Some of the most common diseases that plague Manteca lawns and putting greens are:
- Fungi and molds
- Parasitic worms
- Bacteria and viruses
More often than not, it’s already too late once you notice that film of slime or suspicious rings on your lawn. The disease has already spread throughout most of your yard. Even if you treat it successfully, there’s a big chance it’ll invade your putting green again.
Artificial grass putting greens in Manteca permanently solves this issue virtually overnight. These are just a few of the most common grass diseases it eliminates:
1. Dollar Spots
Dollar spots refer to dollar-sized yellow or brown patches of grass caused by fungi. It happens when the heat dries up the soil while dew soaks grass at night.
Poor drainage and excessive watering can also cause this fungal problem. None of this will happen on an artificial grass putting green because:
- Fungi simply cannot live on artificial turf.
- Quality artificial turf for Manteca putting greens has a built-in drainage system. This protects your putting green from water accumulation and fungus growth.
2. Root Rot
Another result of uncontrollable fungal growth in your lawn is root degradation. It is one of the most catastrophic turf diseases because it can kill your entire yard in a matter of days.
But with a professionally-installed synthetic putting green, you don’t need to worry about root rot at all.
For one, heat and moisture doesn’t affect synthetic turf. The drainage system also prevents floods. Even if it does get soaked, underneath the surface is infill and not actual roots. This prevents fungi from decomposing anything below your turf.
3. Earthworm Tunnelling
Excessive earthworm presence can destroy golf courses. These parasites leave waste called castings, which affects the playability of your putting green. They also dig tunnels underneath the surface, which affects soil compaction and allows water to percolate.
Artificial grass in Manteca is inhospitable to earthworms and other pests. Key components prevent infestation, such as:
- Tough and inedible plastic polyethylene blades
- Tunnelling-resistant fiber and infill
- Built-in drainage that prevents moisture from forming
Everything about artificial turf repels worms and other pests like bugs and rodents.
