Chicago Homeowner Builds Rooftop Entertainment Oasis with Artificial Greenery

Chicago, IL — For homeowners in cities where green space is limited, it’s a luxury to have a rooftop terrace. A resident in the charming Roscoe Village neighborhood wanted to create an outdoor living area to relax, socialize, and watch televised sports events with friends. He hired the landscaping experts at SYNLawn Chicago to transform his unused roof into a modern entertainment rooftop entertainment oasis with the installation of artificial greenery.

Reclaiming the Rooftop with Synthetic Landscaping

To help the homeowner create his dream outdoor sanctuary, SYNLawn Chicago used two types of synthetic landscaping products.

The team installed 100 square feet of Hampton from Calico Greens – an artificial green wall – in two areas of the rooftop. This artificial boxwood shrub is an aesthetically pleasing solution to reclaim unused rooftop space. One of the panels was installed behind the big screen TV, and the other panel was installed behind the seating area to recreate a baseball scoreboard as part of the sports-themed decor.

There are several advantages to using this type of faux greenery versus real plants, such as:

• Brings year-round color to any environment with its unique design that mimics the colors, shadings, dimensions, and movement of real plants.
• Provides sound insulation and privacy.
• Offers a safer and long-lasting option since it’s durable, UV-protected, and fire-rated.
• Allows for easier maintenance since no watering or fertilizing is required.

SYNLawn Chicago also installed 150 square feet of Roofdeck Premium for the entertainment area, plus a private dog run for the family pup that includes a fake fire hydrant. This natural-looking artificial grass is beautiful, durable, and one of the safest turfs due to its ASTM E-108 Class A Fire Rating. It performs well in extreme temperatures and outdoor conditions, so it’s ideal for a Chicago rooftop. Additionally, it features the safety and benefits of Super Yarn™ Technology made with unique additives such as Sanitized™ Antimicrobial Technology, DualChill™ IR Reflective Technology and StatBlock™ Anti-Static Component.
