Frequently Asked Questions
What is artificial turf made of?
This product is typically created with a blend of polypropylene and polyethylene, which is made into synthetic fibers to look like natural grass. The fibers are then joined with rubber granules and silica sand to help keep the blades upright.
What is infill?
Infill is the materials spread over the artificial turf during installation to keep blades standing tall and protect your lawn. With real grass, blades are held upright by water and nutrients. Artificial grass mimics this process with synthetic materials. There are many different kinds of infill to choose from, including silica sand, rubber, cork, or Envirofill.
Is there a difference between different synthetic turf products?
Yes, there is a difference in products. When researching products, check if the product meets the minimum standards for development, as determined by the guidelines from the Synthetic Turf Council. There are also many different kinds of turf. Lawns created specifically for residential use have softer and more natural blades, while sports fields utilize different terrain.
I thought artificial grass was just for sports fields. Can you really put it on residential lawns?
Synthetic turf got its start on professional athletic fields, but newer products are perfect for residences. Homeowners love this product because it stays consistently beautiful without the hassle of upkeep. The lawns also conserve water.
Will my dog’s urine or other waste stain the grass?
Our turf is incredibly dog-friendly and is used at many Humane Society locations and by professional pet boarders in dog runs. It doesn’t stain, and urine drains through it. Any mess can be washed off with a hose.
Will installing artificial turf increase my property values?
An investment in quality landscaping adds value to your home, with some analysts estimating a return of 100 percent of your cost, up to doubling your investment. However, the real value is that a low-maintenance lawn can help a home sell quickly. Learn more about how artificial turf can improve your property values.
How long does artificial grass last?
On average, artificial grass can last 10 to 15 years. Some high-quality artificial lawns can last up to 20 years.
Does it come with a warranty?
Different companies offer a variety of warranties. A good artificial turf warranty covers fading, workmanship, and materials issues.
How much maintenance and upkeep does an artificial lawn need?

How hot does an artificial lawn get in the summer?

Will the lawn fade over time?

How well does artificial turf drain?
Depending on the infill, artificial grass can drain very well. A reliable contractor sets up drainage flow during installation.
