What is artificial grass?

An artificial surface that resembles real grass. It can be made to resemble many varieties of real grass out there like: St. Augustine, Bermuda, Marathon, Kentucky Blue Grass, and many others.

What are the prices?

Prices range from $6 - $15 per sq.ft. fully installed depending which product you choose.

Why is artificial grass more expensive than natural sod?

Because it is a manufactured product which carries a warranty and lasts for a very long time

What are the benefits?

• Very low maintenance (no mowing, weeding, or watering)
• Always green and always beautiful
• Great in places where natural sod cannot grow
• No allergies

Does the long term effect of the sun harm the turf grass or make it fade in color?

No, our fibers have a UV (ultra-violet) protection coating and can withstand the damaging affects of sun, heat, wind, snow and ice. Technically, the color will fade two Pantone colors over a ten-year period, but it's really not visually noticeable to the eye.

What is the life expectancy of an artificial grass surface?

The turf comes with a limited 10 year warranty: actual life expectancy is 15-20 years.

What type of maintenance should I expect?

• An occasional brooming is recommended but not necessary. This will help keep the blades healthy. Pick up leaves and twigs and other debris that may have fallen on the surface.
• If using a leaf blower just keep nozzle away from being too close to the surface and the infill will not blow away with debris.

What about pets?

• Urine is not a problem. It will just pass through and evaporate or drain into the ground. Or you can wash it out with water. Pets will not harm the turf.
• Initially, pets will try to scratch and sniff it but they will love it after only a few minutes.
• Of course you will still have to pick up after your pets.

Can it be installed over my existing lawn?

The existing sod must first be removed. A fine layer of crushed rock is laid down, smoothed and compacted before the turf is installed. For a complete installation guide please visit our installation page.

What about drainage?

The drainage is very similar to natural grass. The turf backing has many perforated holes allowing for water to drain through the turf.
