Synthetic turf increases ambient temperature by 10-15 degrees & surface temp up to 200. Natural turf decreases ambient temp by up to 10 degrees. Synthetic turf also gives off carcinogenic vapors when in direct sunlight at 80+ degrees.
@tarasuazo3984 My point is that everybody's jumping all over this girl about the choices she made in her backyard. Instead, offer her a different solution to the plastic turf. Maybe they can tell her about low-lying grass or slow growing grasses.
@DoubleDSheree houses don't have heat? Car tires? There are so many other things that destroy the environment besides a piece of fake turf. Aka football stadiums. Way bigger than what she placed down. Everyone is jumping on her happiness with negative comments. Maybe offer her a different idea like. Slow growing grasses.
i’d recommend clover, or doing some looking at your local native plants and picking out a few cover ones that you like!! stays low and easy to grow without…….. yeah
The lazy people ways of doing gardening. I'm so glad there are people who actually love gardening. Because you could have had and even more beautiful yard just by rolling up your sleeves and putting in the work Because the old garden could have been reallymagical. . This is for peope who want instant gratification. I don't like the process sometimes however when I repaired my lawn and did my own landscaping using environment friendly Products. This is fine for those who don't have the time nor enjoy the upkeep. Or those aren't physically able to put in the work.
Everything plastic even the plants in the back. It looks like junk in a year. These stupid tik tokers think fresh oxygen comes from turf and plastic plants smh😅😢😒
I agree .. this sort of plastic turf is so damaging .. destroys habitat, increases surface water run off, ends up in land fill .. just have grass and don’t be so lazy
Nonnative lawns are way worse for the environment. That’s why California is such a fire stricken hellhole right now is all the fancy lawns and stupid almond orchards. All those nonnative plants suck up all the water and make the wilderness way more dry than it should be and then what should be a small needed natural fire turns into a massive destructive wildfire that destroys thousands of acres. These turf lawns are perfect for a fair number of states.
@@carportmodsProblem is people are doing things like this along with thousands if other idiotic things. Everyone thinks oh this one thing that only im doing is fine. Or they think they are only one person and their dont matter. Well they do when everyone thinks that.
* * * I'm Sorry the Everyone Thinks You SHOULD Do and LIke The Things THEY do and like. YOU DO YOU GIRL!! THE WORLD IS BIG ENOUGH FOR US ALL!! AND SHAME ON ANYONE WHO IS TRYING TO MAKE YOU WRONG! Thanks for the idea, It looks BEAUTIFUL!! I have a pathway that this would be PERFECT for! oxoxo. ROCK ON FRIEND!!
This is so fucking sad. Imagine having the privilege of being able to afford your own home with a big back yard and putting astro turf over it 😭 stop killing the environment because you dont want to mow holy shit
It’s causing health issues as well, the Italians football association has started ripping up all the Astro turf as they are seeing a raised in health issues amongst their players. It’s plastic, when the heat takes it, it will let of fumes, it’s absorbed into the skin, you will breathe in those same toxic fumes. It’s crazy how people are behaving as if they don’t care
This looks easy and beautiful to me, I will try this. But thankfully to all the not so pleasant comments 😂, I'll look/research for an environmentally friendly version. Being a single mom, and having a huge yard is taxing on my life😂
Some times it’s hard to maintain grass, in places like Arizona it’s not good for the environment to plant things that need excess water because of the water resources so everyone can shut up with the hate comments. Plus when you’re killing yourself at a corporate job having a lot of chores will drive you mental.
Have to know your area's by-laws. In some places turf isnt allowed because of environmental implications. They can make you rip everything up and turn it back to grass.
I build these for a living the green enfill will stain shoes and be super hot in the summer. Use self cooling white sand for the same cost! Looks great tho! :)
I love your channel, but plastic grass is a no go zone for me. Not good for insects, plants, animals underground, and it also gasses off plastic in the heat.
This was very helpful, adding a patch of artificial turf to my front patio. It looks so clean and nice. This video helped me with a quick run down of what i need to complete the job.
It was in the news that turf may contain PFAS non-stick chemicals and it's being debated as a cause of cancer in athletes (the EPA is about to regulate it in drinking water). You should check with your turf supplier before kids play on it.
I like it, my grass died, even though i watered alot 🤷 idk what happened now i have lots of dirt and after pulling weeds out every year thank God theres hardly any weeds. I like this solution
I have a rancher style home with a side platform. Porch doesn’t extend too far and recently had one of my 42’ trees fall on my porch. I’m trying to rebuild my front porch and side platform for a semi private area.
The before looked so beautiful, I would have planted David Austin roses, make it in to a cottage garden, but then again I love gardening. Anyway if you like it that’s all that matters, good job.
This is actually really nice for those of us who are disabled and getting older. I can no longer maintain my back yard and it’s gotten far too expensive to continue paying for lawn services. I don’t get a lot of direct sunlight so this is doable.
Have rock put in, or native plants that don’t need cutting (they exist). Fake turf is not environmentally friendly, and hate to tell ya this, but old people are exactly who started us down this path

Nobody is talking about them weeds that’s coming up from the gravel in 90 days or less … bc we didn’t add a weed barrier to nothing. We just laid the material on raw land. 😅 But, keep on keeping on sis!
I’m not going to spread hate. So just going to say that nurturing nature is fun, growing your own plants and food is amazingly rewarding. Gardens shouldn’t be perfect or Insta ready, they should be rich in scents, buzzing with diversity and that indefinable pleasurable connection between you and your natural home. The feel of the earth, the warmth of dappled light zinging through tree canopies, the smell of the grass and flittering beautiful dance of butterflies between flowers cannot be replicated in a factory. This is soul food and fills our human minds with an ancient, instinctive sense of well-being and pleasure. I highly recommend trying gardening with nature, you’ll never go back. Don’t like mowing? No problem, try a mix of thyme plants. Little mowing with easy maintenance, beautiful flowers and smells so good you’ll be napping on the lawn at every opportunity. Sending my best.
Much better to lay sand, then weed preventing mesh, then natural gravel accented with fast spreading low shrubs like juniper, jasmine, creeping fig. No mow, cooling, air refreshing. Make a small patio area for furniture.
I want to do this, but my house is 2 acres, and there is no way I'm doing a DIY home project. But after seeing your results now, im having 2nd thought, but i also dont wnat to ever mow the lawn
Wish I could show a pic of my ranch style home with an ascending driveway because my porch is short and I want to extend it and I also have a side platform or cement area if you want to call it that. Need to remodel. Childhood home I bought that has never been upgraded since the late 70’s. Ugh 😩
Here in Canada I've decided to implement this idea in my backyard, hater can hate she's a genius. Appreciate hardwork please alittle grass removed from earth wont damage the environment 😅
Synthetic turf increases ambient temperature by 10-15 degrees & surface temp up to 200. Natural turf decreases ambient temp by up to 10 degrees. Synthetic turf also gives off carcinogenic vapors when in direct sunlight at 80+ degrees. Putting disgusting plastic in your backyard instead of actual living plants is hilarious and disgusting. It's also terrible for the environment and not sanitary.
That stuff gets so ooo hot tho. I could never. Besides doing yard work is like therapy. I love it even mowing. But yeah that stuff gets soo hot its misery in the summer.
This is my favorite video of yours. I want to do this for my kids to have a clean play area. And need to find a way to keep the dogs out so they don’t poop all over it.

I wonder what the plastic in carpet does to the environment or the laminate floors that everyone loves. 🤔
@janicealley5033 good thing those floors are inside your house instead of outside in nature
@janicealley5033 if they heat up to high Temps sure.

Nothing can beat real gras under my feet in summer❤
I loved the wild. In Greece, no one that actually has a real garden would replace it with a fake one
why would anyone care what choice Greece would make. Not a question
@@HamburgerHelperDeath Why would I care what you think about my comment. I didn't ask; not a question.
Actually I’m just being mean, Greek people are nice so I’m sorry
@@HamburgerHelperDeathAmerica is trash
@annastamatelou3895 I think most people with a property would say the same.
i’d recommend clover, or doing some looking at your local native plants and picking out a few cover ones that you like!! stays low and easy to grow without…….. yeah
the only issue is some places won't let you plant native things without permits and other things then make it a conservation area.
Clover is a fantastic idea.
I think it’s too late for this since she already did WHAT SHE WANTED TO
maybe in your yard. Not everyone has to be the same
Turf is definitely NOT the way to go.
Why?
True. I transformed my yard to a big wildflower palace, with some thick grass as a walkway.
I was waiting for some to shout-- you re doing all wrong😂😂. These ppl never fail to criticize
Went from biodiverse landscape to plastic temple in a jiff.
That's humanity in a nutshell. 😢
just let her be it's clearly something that makes her happy remember commenting online has a negative environmental impact.
@vampyrohtechnix To bad your opinion doesn't matter. Her yard, her money, her business, your problem!
I'm a little wierd. I liked the " before" a lot more. I'm happy she is happy...but I dont want her any where near my yard!😂
@@UKsystems😂😂😂 fuck it... we letting her know
I preferred the garden from before
Me too, if it was kept better,looked like she never bothered her hole doing any kind of maintenance on it 😂

So stupid 🤦♀️ and it looks horrible too 🤯
small areas of grass produce not even enough oxygen for one person not even noticeable.

The plants are real.
I LOVED the before 💯
Terrible for the environment and wildlife unfortunately

Possibly if everyone on earth did this Greta..
@@carportmodsProblem is people are doing things like this along with thousands if other idiotic things. Everyone thinks oh this one thing that only im doing is fine. Or they think they are only one person and their dont matter. Well they do when everyone thinks that.
😂 whatever
So so many options to keeps actual plantlife even with low maintenance and little watering. Even while having a lovely seating area.

Cry some more that will help
And more micro plastics into the environment (yipee)
Just wait a few years 😆. So nasty and filthy and disease absorber ... Yep they will b sorry
It's really tempting

Get low mow, low water grass. It exists
so sad...it looks as plastic as it is :(
My brother rents a house that has this, the fake grass looks worse and worse each year
Mine has held up for 5 years, LOVE IT!

lol so you want insects?
Do you want cancer?
@@MaximusTheChosenOne our entire ecosystem would collapse if it weren't for insects. Bugs are awesome.
@@esme9655 and she may collapse if she has too much grass to cut....who will you choose?
@Carrots.love.tomatoes Not good for her, that is why she chose the turf. Who are you gonna choose, her or the insects?
Great job ❤❤❤
I'll take yellow grass with pee spots all over EVERY TIME over plastic turf and rocks 😣
you could have purchased the property from her
Good thing it wasn’t your problem then

Amazing. You did it yourself and it looks great. Please kindly share how much the overall cost was.

Awesome job girl. Definitely need a woman like you. Very handy. Two thumbs up 👍👍
Korean grass is the best alternative for the backyard. It takes years to come together, but it's worth it,I 'm from the carribean, and it a life saver
Wait until summer after the dogs have been urinating on it for a few weeks. No one will be sitting out there.
Looks gorgeous ❤❤❤
Genius!!
Amazing!!!
Looks great! How does it hold up in heavy rain? Doesn’t look like it needed a drainage system installed.
THAT IS WHAT I WANT!!!!!

You should not use this. So bad for the environment. Lazy people
Some people are disabled and incapable of maintaining a garden space, it’s not always laziness
never
Damn … the yard looks beautiful and your Gorgeous 🌹🌹🌹👍
Tacky
What base material did you use for this project?
Is there a full video of the process broken down?
What’s the surface temperature on the turf?
From my experience it gets really hot under the blazing sun, works well in shady areas.
200 degrees Fahrenheit
How did you handle the drainage?
It looks good but do you have intense heat that will possibly melt plastic overtime. Otherwise I do like it & appreciate your hard work!😮

How can I do this on concrete? Can you help me to do it.
Shoud use a carpet kicker when you nail the turf to prevent flexing when it's hot/cold, but you could always pull it up and do it again later :)

But there's so little contribution back to the atmosphere. Nothing to balance your oxygen use or other carbon footprints. Laziness isn't sustainable.
you really need to do some calculations mud doesn't produce oxygen and the little grass enough for an hour of breathing after 20 years
thats all that there was unless biology means invisible giant plants@@kinkytoes
