Artificial Turf for Balconies, Decks and Patios
Installing artificial grass as soft flooring for your balcony, deck or patio is a great way to instantly add a touch of nature to your outside space.
Many people choose artificial turf to cover these areas as it is a very comfortable and functional option for flooring. Roof top patios are ideal for artificial turf because of the low maintenance required. Simply sweeping the turf with a stiff-fibered broom will lift dirt and debris from the surface for you to easily remove. You can even vacuum your turf. Hosing down your turf on a regular basis will also help to keep it fresh, odourless and in perfect condition.

European chafer beetle and lawn damage
The European chafer beetle is a leading cause of lawn damage not only in the Metro Vancouver area but other parts of Canada as well.l Chafer beetles are a nuisance to homeowners as they infest lawns and attract predators such as crows, skunks, and raccoons that damage lawns as they dig for beetle larvae. The larvae will also feed on the roots of grass, causing damage to the grass above.
