And why Southwest Greens of Jacksonville is the perfect option for tee lines.


Why Use Synthetic Grass Tee Lines?

Traditional grass on tee lines has become inferior in a short amount of time. Tee lines are exposed to a lot of foot traffic and abuse from golf clubs frequently swinging. Synthetic grass is a preferred selection because it can endure these activities much more successfully and still look great at the end of the day.


Traditional Grass Disadvantages

Organic grass has several quirks. It’s tough to maintain and only looks good with the right conditions. Natural turf will cultivate differently in Jacksonville from one season to the next. Some portions may be more dense, while some other areas are sparse.

Frequent Mowing

To ensure that the grass is as short as you would see on a golf course, this may necessitate daily mowing. That’s right, you read that correctly. Daily. Also take into account the gasoline, mower maintenance, and time, and you’re in for a hefty bill.


Herbicides

You can often find weeds where grass grows. Weeds should be removed, which is usually done with toxic chemicals. This is not a one-and-done treatment. Herbicides are needed frequently to keep weeds at bay.


Pesticides

Grubs, weevils, ants — the list goes on and on. In organic grass, there’s a good chance you’ll find one or more of these pests in the future. Chemicals are needed to deal with these pests, which aren’t only triggers a negative impact on the environment, but also the people applying them.


Water Requirements

Traditional turf needs water to look lush and green. Only a couple days of dry conditions can make turf seem sad and in need of attention. This means traditional turf tee lines have to be watered frequently in order to appear well-nourished.


Uneven Surfaces

Traditional grass will grow in a variety of ways in Jacksonville from season to season. Some places may be more dense, while other areas are scant. If you’ve been on a traditional grass tee line, you understand how there can be chunks of grass missing from powerful swings, too.


Synthetic Grass Tee Line Advantages

Looks Great Year Round

With the use of synthetic turf, tee lines will look great all the time. They’ll never need fertilizing, mowing, or watering, which means that tee lines can remain open all the time. Maintenance downtime is a thing of the past.


Complements Nature Grass

Synthetic complements natural grass beautifully. Overused grass tee lines almost never stays healthy. Setting up and replacing artificial tee lines gives traditional turf the essential time it requires to recover.


Enhanced Playability

Artificial grass plays well due to its even, reliable surface. You will never have to be troubled about the clubface catching on the grass and affecting your shot again with synthetic turf.


Safer Surface

There are fewer chances for injuries because the surface will never get muddy and slippery during rainstorms. Artificial turf will not get ripped apart and generate divots and dips that are tripping hazards in the way that organic grass does.


Flexible and Modular Designs

Modular tee lines produce simpler and more cost-effective ways to change portions instead of replacing an entire panel or tee line. Using affordable materials for the stance area decreases the cost of the project.
