Does artificial grass have a warranty?

My lawn is an odd shape, can I still get artificial turf?

Some people think that getting turf for an oddly shaped lawn is a complicated process. Fortunately, our turf experts can help you with the exact specifications for your specific lawn. Additionally, the turf can fit the any size or shape. Because of this, the turf can adapt to your landscaping. Another benefit of getting a synthetic lawn is that it can be installed anywhere, including hard to reach areas.

How much does it actually cost?

Getting a synthetic lawn is an investment. In addition to the square footage of the turf, you’ll need several other things. This includes infill, seam tape, turf glue, and other accessories. You’ll also need some tools, such as a compactor, which can be rented locally.

Does the turf drain well?

One of the most prominent features of artificial grass is its drainage. This is important for both rainwater and pet urine. The backing (usually made of a mesh fabric) allows water to flow through it. Once water flows through the backing, it seems into the base rock drainage system.

Can I get turf around my pool?

Artificial turf is excellent to install around swimming pools. Even if it gets wet, children and others are less likely to slip. Additionally, the turf’s texture helps clean your feet when you get in and out of the pool.

What kind of maintenance will I have to do?

When switching to artificial grass, your upkeep time will be reduced by more than 90 percent. You will no longer have to mow or water your lawn, but you will have to remove debris like sticks and leaves. This is particularly important after storms. If you happen to have pets, you’ll still need to clean up their waste, but that’s about it.

If you have questions about artificial turf, call your local landscape company and find the answers. It may be the best investment you have ever made in your home.
