Frequently Asked Questions

Artificial turf, also known as synthetic grass or fake lawn, is a surface made from synthetic fibers designed to look like natural grass. It's typically made from polyethylene or polypropylene and includes features like UV protection, antimicrobial backing, and realistic blade shapes. Modern artificial turf looks remarkably similar to natural grass and provides numerous benefits including water conservation, low maintenance, and year-round green appearance.

Our premium artificial turf products are designed to last 15-20+ years with proper care and maintenance. Economy options typically last 5-8 years. The actual lifespan depends on factors like usage intensity, climate conditions, and maintenance practices. All our installations are backed by warranties that reflect the expected lifespan of the product chosen.

Absolutely. Our artificial turf is lead-free, non-toxic, and meets all safety standards. We use antimicrobial technology in our backing to prevent bacterial growth, making it ideal for areas where children and pets play. The turf is soft underfoot and provides excellent cushioning for falls. We also offer pet-specific products with enhanced drainage and odor control features.

No. Our turf is UV-stabilized to resist fading from sun exposure. Premium products come with up to 8-year UV protection guarantees, while our elite products offer lifetime UV stability. We use advanced colorants and UV inhibitors that maintain the vibrant green color year after year, even in intense sunshine like Colorado's high-altitude conditions.

Our turf features proprietary perforated backing that allows water to drain through instantly. Premium products can handle up to 30 gallons per minute per square foot. Water flows through the perforation holes into the aggregate base below, which directs it away from the installation area. This prevents puddling and ensures your turf is usable shortly after heavy rain.

Like any surface exposed to direct sunlight, artificial turf can warm up on hot days. However, our premium products feature heat-dissipating technology that keeps the surface up to 15°F cooler than standard artificial grass. We also recommend occasional rinsing with water on extremely hot days. Natural grass actually gets hotter than quality artificial turf in many cases.

Infill is the material spread between the turf blades that provides support, weight, and helps the blades stand upright. We typically use premium silica sand or rounded silica as standard infill. For pet areas, we recommend antimicrobial infill. For putting greens, specialized top-dressing creates realistic ball roll. The right infill is crucial for performance, durability, and a natural feel underfoot.

The cost varies based on project size, turf quality level, and site conditions. On average, residential installations range from $8-25 per square foot including materials and professional installation. We offer three tiers: Economy ($8-12/sq ft), Performance ($12-18/sq ft), and Championship ($18-25/sq ft). Request a free quote for an accurate estimate for your specific project.

One of the biggest advantages of artificial turf is low maintenance. Occasional tasks include: rinsing with water to remove dust and debris, brushing the turf to keep blades upright, removing leaves and debris with a leaf blower, and occasionally redistributing infill. Unlike natural grass, there's no mowing, watering, fertilizing, or pest control needed.

Yes, pressure washing can be done on artificial turf, but use caution. Keep the pressure low (around 1,200-1,500 PSI) and use a wide fan tip. Hold the wand at least 12 inches from the surface and move it steadily. Avoid concentrated streams that could damage the turf fibers or displace infill.

Solid waste should be removed promptly and rinsed with water. For urine, simply rinse the area with water. Our pet-specific products include antimicrobial backing that helps prevent bacterial growth and odors. For heavy use areas, we recommend occasional deeper cleaning with enzyme-based cleaners specifically designed for artificial turf.

With proper installation including a geotextile weed barrier, weed growth is minimal. Occasionally, wind may carry seeds that land on the surface, but these can be easily removed by hand or with a light rinse. Our professional installation includes proper base preparation and weed barrier that significantly reduces any weed issues.

Use a stiff-bristled push broom or a plastic rake designed for artificial turf. Brush against the grain to stand the blades back up and redistribute the infill. This is especially important in high-traffic areas and after thorough cleaning. For large areas, electric turf brooms are available that make this process quick and easy.

All our installations include a workmanship warranty. Product warranties vary by tier: Economy products include 5-8 year warranties, Performance products include 8-10 year warranties, and Championship products include lifetime warranties. Our team will review the specific warranty coverage for your chosen product during consultation.
