Featured turf landscaping products

Artificial Turf Supply has a wide selection of synthetic landscaping grass. The fake grass models range in pile height and color so you can choose the right one for your project.

The pile heights of the different landscaping models go from 1” – 1.75” so you can choose a shorter, fresh cut blade, or a taller, luscious blade for your yard.

Longer blades will give your yard a full, natural look, but the shorter blades are easier for clean up after pets or children and are just as beautifully natural-looking. To keep the yard cleaned, regardless of blade height, a quick rinsing from the hose will do the trick!

Our artificial turf systems come in a variety of green colors as well, whether you prefer a brighter green or a more olive toned green, we have the artificial turf model that will fit perfectly for your project needs.

Having a clean artificial lawn is easy to do. We recommend picking up anything that needs to be cleaned up and lightly hosing down messy areas, such as after a pet uses the restroom. This will keep the turf fresh and prevent any possible odor build-up.

If you notice any stains on the artificial grass you can gently scrub the area with warm water and dish detergent to get rid of the unsightly spot.

It’s always good to check the yard each week to make sure there aren’t any unwanted items in the lawn and to clean any messes as needed.

Frequently asked questions

What are the disadvantages of artificial turf?

While artificial turf has many advantages over natural grass, there are some disadvantages that need to be addressed. The upfront cost of installing turf is typically higher than real grass. However, the long-term savings that homeowners will see greatly outweigh this initial cost.

Additionally, turf can get hot when placed in direct sunlight, especially in warmer weather. We recommend you utilize awnings, umbrellas, or other materials to create shading to help prevent this.

You can also lay a blanket down to make you and your pets more comfortable when needed.

Though our turf products are antimicrobial and designed to withstand strong smells, if not cleaned properly, turf can hold odor. Especially if you have pets, it is important to regularly clean your artificial grass area with a light rinse from your hose.

Is artificial grass worth the money?

Yes! The benefits of artificial turf are well worth the cost if you are looking for quality that will last. A synthetic grass lawn has a life expectancy of 15-20 years, but it can surpass this time if it is cared for properly.

Natural grass is sensitive to climate, foot traffic, and pet waste which means that it has to be replaced frequently. Synthetic turf has been specifically engineered for the outdoors and to withstand natural elements such as rain, snow, drought, and hot climates.

Additionally, Our infill options have incredible draining capabilities to prevent puddles and flooding. Your turf will remain green no matter the weather.

What goes under artificial turf?

There is no definitive answer to this question due to various factors, such as the layout of your surface and the specific product selected. A good rule of thumb is that if the soil is sandy or loose, has a high level of moisture or is clay-based, then the artificial grass installation will probably be unsteady and risk the possibility of becoming dislodged.

If you are unsure about the condition of your base surface, speak with an Artificial Turf Supply specialist for guidance.

Is artificial grass cheaper than concrete?

Typically, yes artificial grass products are cheaper than concrete. On average, artificial turf is $4 – $6 per sqft and concrete is $4 – $20 per sqft.

Of course, this cost varies based on the specific products you select. Learn more about how you can finance your artificial grass installation by speaking with one of our project specialists!

How often should artificial turf be replaced?

If you maintain your lawn based on our recommendations, your Artificial Turf Supply lawn should last you at least 15 Years. Often, if cared for properly, a synthetic yard will stay in good condition for 15-20 years. This far outweighs the lifespan of a traditional lawn.

Because artificial grass products are made of high-quality synthetic materials that don’t lose color or texture in the sun or rain like natural grass can, a fake grass lawn will stay green and luscious throughout harsh weather conditions.

Homeowners are making the switch to synthetic grass for their lawns because of its longevity, ultimately making it worth the investment.

What is the best way to maintain artificial turf?

Keeping your artificial grass clean is a simple process, but it is important to maintain the quality of your lawn for years to come.

We recommend you take these steps to keep your lawn clean:

1. Sweep, rake, or brush the surface of the artificial turf lawn to remove any unwanted dirt, debris, or fallen leaves.
2. Pick up pet waste, food, or unwanted debris that has landed on your turf as needed. This step is especially important to monitor if you have a pet in your home to prevent odors from lingering.
3. With a hose, lightly water any dirty or high-traffic areas.
4. For stubborn spots that won’t come out with a quick rinse, use laundry detergent and scrub lightly to clean the area.
