Why Turf
Why Homeowners Choose Artificial Turf
Artificial turf solves the problems homeowners face with natural grass: constant watering, weekly mowing, mud, dead patches, and pet damage. It is a practical upgrade for backyards, side yards, pool areas, and anywhere grass struggles.
Less Maintenance
No mowing, no fertilizer, no dead patches. Turf stays consistent without the weekly upkeep natural grass demands.
Cleaner Backyard
Great for pets and kids. Less mud tracked inside, fewer allergens, and a cleaner outdoor space year-round.
Looks Good Year-Round
Stays green through heat, dry seasons, and shade. No brown patches or seasonal die-off.
Works in Difficult Areas
Shaded zones, narrow side yards, dog runs, and pool areas where natural grass struggles or fails.
Long-Term Value
Upfront investment pays off over time with lower water bills, no lawn care costs, and consistent appearance.

Common Artificial Turf Questions
Product & Performance
Does artificial turf get hot?
Yes, artificial turf can get warm in direct summer sun, similar to a deck or patio surface. Many homeowners use it in partially shaded areas or install it around pools where the surrounding water helps moderate temperature.
How long does artificial turf last?
Quality artificial turf typically lasts 15 to 20 years with proper installation and basic maintenance. Longevity depends on traffic, sun exposure, and infill quality.
Is artificial turf safe for dogs?
Yes. Pet-friendly turf is designed to drain quickly, resist odor, and handle heavy traffic. It eliminates mud, reduces digging damage, and is easier to clean than natural grass.
Does artificial grass drain?
Yes. Quality artificial turf has drainage holes throughout the backing that allow water to pass through quickly. When installed over a proper base, turf drains faster than most natural lawns.
Can weeds grow through artificial turf?
Weeds are unlikely to grow through properly installed turf. A weed barrier fabric is typically installed beneath the turf, and the infill and turf backing create an additional barrier.
Installation & Cost
Does artificial turf need maintenance?
Artificial turf requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass. Occasional rinsing, brushing to keep fibers upright, and removing debris are the main tasks. No mowing, watering, or fertilizing required.
What goes under artificial turf?
A typical installation includes excavation, a compacted aggregate base for drainage, weed barrier fabric, the turf itself, and infill material. The base preparation is critical for proper drainage.
Can artificial turf be installed on concrete?
Yes. Turf can be installed over concrete patios, pool decks, and other hard surfaces. A thin foam pad is often used underneath for cushioning and drainage.
Is artificial grass worth it?
For many homeowners, yes. The upfront cost is higher than seeding or sodding, but the elimination of water bills, lawn care costs, and maintenance time often makes turf cost-effective over its lifespan.
How much does artificial turf cost?
Turf pricing varies based on quality, pile height, and backing type. Contact us for current pricing on turf rolls and accessories. Installation costs depend on site preparation and project size.
