Frequently Asked Questions
Have questions? We have answers.
What are the benefits of choosing artificial turf for my property?
Artificial turf offers numerous advantages, including significant water savings, minimal maintenance (no mowing, fertilizing, orElliott weeding), year-round green aesthetics, enhanced durability, and is a great solution for areas where natural grass struggles to grow.
Is artificial turf safe for children and pets?
Yes, high-quality artificial turf is designed with safety in mind. It is typically made from non-toxic materials, provides a cushioned surface for play, and allows for efficient drainage of pet waste, helping to maintain a clean and safe environment.
How does drainage work with artificial turf?
Artificial turf systems are designed for efficient drainage. The turf backing is permeable, and the base layer beneath the turf is constructed to allow water to pass through quickly, preventing puddles and standing water.
How is artificial turf installed?
The installation process typically involves preparing the base (removing existing grass/soil, creating a level and compacted sub-base usually with gravel or crushed stone), laying a weed barrier, rolling out and seaming the turf sections using joint strips and adhesive, trimming edges, and applying infill material to help the blades stand up and provide stability..
Does artificial turf get hot in the sun?
Like any surface exposed to direct sunlight, artificial turf can get warm. However, newer technologies and infill options can help reduce heat retention. Rinsing the turf with water can also quickly cool it down.
What kind of maintenance does artificial turf require?
Maintenance is minimal compared to natural grass. It primarily involves removing debris (leaves, etc.), occasional rinsing to remove dust or pollen, and cross-brushing high-traffic areas to help the fibers stand up. Pet waste should be removed and the area rinsed.
How long does artificial turf last?
The lifespan of artificial turf varies depending on the quality of the product, the intensity of use, and proper installation and maintenance. Generally, high-quality turf can last anywhere from 15 to 25 years.
Can artificial turf be installed in any area, including specialized spaces?
Absolutely. Artificial turf is highly versatile and can be installed in various applications, from standard lawns and pet areas to specialized surfaces like putting greens, bocce ball courts, playgrounds, and sports training areas like batting cages.
Will weeds grow through artificial turf?
When properly installed with a compacted base and a weed barrier fabric, it is very difficult for weeds to grow through the turf’s backing. Occasional airborne seeds might land on the surface, but they are easily removed..
How do you handle seams and edges in artificial turf installations?
Professional installation utilizes specialized joint strips and adhesives to seamlessly connect pieces of turf, creating a smooth and virtually invisible seam. Edges are typically secured using nails, spikes, or by tucking them against borders or edging materials for a clean finish.
