Why switch to artificial turf

Artificial grass doesn’t require typical upkeep such as watering, weeding, fertilizing, or mowing; it is a low-maintenance and cost-effective alternative to natural grass. Synthetic grass is also durable and will last much longer than natural grass. Made with high-quality materials like polyethylene for resilience, it can withstand the test of time even when used for high-impact sports, pet turf, play areas, golf greens, and extreme weather conditions.

Not only is synthetic grass long-lasting and maintenance-free, but it is also completely non-toxic and free of pesticides and harmful chemicals required to maintain a natural lawn. This makes artificial turf products ideal for playground grass, athletic fields, and pet areas.

Artificial turf products might be an investment initially, but they will save homeowners and business owners money in the long run. Contact us today to upgrade your grass lawn!

How to install artificial grass

Installing turf is a great way to improve your home’s appearance and increase property value. Artificial grass will reduce maintenance, saving homeowners time and money.

How to install artificial turf for any lawn or landscape:

1. Prepare the turf: Roll the turf out over a clean, flat surface, ensuring that all the synthetic grass blades go in the same direction. Let the artificial turf sit in the sun for a few hours so the fibers can relax.
2. Cut the turf: Mark the back of the turf where you intend to cut it. Cut the turf roll using a carpet or razor knife. If there are any overlapping areas, trim them until they are as close as possible without touching them. Clean up the turf to match the edges and borders.
3. Seam the turf: Mark the areas where you want the seam to go with a chalk line. Cut both edges of the rolls as close to the second tuft row as possible. Fold the edges of each turf roll and place the 12” seaming tape on the chalk lines.
4. Apply adhesive to the tape or surface: Wait 3-5 minutes before laying down the edges. Allow 10-15 minutes before pressing onto the seam. Wait another 25-35 minutes and repeat.
5. Secure the perimeter: To secure the perimeter, place your galvanized sod staple of 6” galvanized nails every 6”-10” around the edges.
6. Apply the infill: Apply the crumb rubber infill evenly over the turf area. Do this one layer at a time until you are out of infill or have reached your desired level.

Benefits of artificial grass

Artificial turf has many benefits over natural grass – Fake grass is quickly becoming the top choice for residential and commercial landscaping projects. High-quality artificial turf products will have a realistic look and feel while remaining lusciously green all year. No more dry patches, muddy puddles, or stained grass ruining your lawn.

Artificial grass is also a more sustainable option and is maintenance-free, requiring little to no lawn care. Say goodbye to weekly watering, mowing, and fertilizing when you switch to synthetic turf. The only maintenance step we recommend is to hose off the turf occasionally to clean away any dirty spots and prevent odor buildup from pets.

Synthetic grass is a safer alternative to natural grass. Our products are free from harmful pesticides and completely non-toxic. All Artificial Turf Supply products are engineered with a safety-first approach, creating an even playing surface and soft-forgiving feel to prevent injuries.

Comparing Synthetic Turf vs. Natural Grass Benefits

Because artificial turf can withstand impact from sports, pets, play areas, and weather elements, it will last you longer than natural grass. Once you install your turf, you no longer need to worry about re-sodding, reseeding, or replanting. We even include a warranty with your purchase to ensure the longevity of your new turf lawn.

How to care for artificial grass

If you are lucky enough to have an artificial lawn, you’ll want to make sure that it stays looking like new turf for years to come. Here are a few simple tips on how to maintain your green turf:

1. Sweep or brush the surface of the artificial turf and infill to remove any unwanted dirt or fallen leaves every 3 months or so,
2. Regularly pick up any pet waste or unwanted debris, especially for pet turf.
3. Lightly hose down messy, faded, or worn areas with water to prevent odor and debris build-up.
4. If the turf looks faded or worn, use a garden hose with moderate pressure to clean it well.
5. For stubborn spots that won’t come out with a quick rinse, use laundry detergent and scrub lightly to clean the area.
6. If you notice any holes or tears in the turf area, you can repair them with a patching kit.

Artificial grass vs. natural grass

There are many pros and cons to both artificial turf and natural grass. Artificial grass products are made to look and feel like real grass without requiring all the maintenance, but some people say that synthetic turf looks and feels a bit stiff.

Also, installing turf is an investment. But when you look at the long-term cost savings from installing artificial turf, it’s well worth it in the end.

Because synthetic grass is an extremely low maintenance alternative to natural grass, it requires minimal water to maintain and no pesticides, mowing, or weeding. Plus, it will stay green throughout the whole year, no matter the seasonal or climate conditions unlike natural grass.

The cost of artificial grass vs. traditional grass

The initial cost of artificial grass products is significantly higher than that of natural grass. But, the long term savings from installing turf outweighs that upfront cost.

For one, artificial turf does not need to be replaced nearly as often as real grass lawns. If you take care of your artificial grass lawn, it should remain in good condition for a long time. Natural grass lawns are difficult to maintain and need to be replaced frequently.

Synthetic grass is extremely low maintenance, especially when compared to real grass, which saves homeowners both time and money. Switching from a traditional grass lawn to fake turf can save homeowners 50 gallons per square foot every year, which ultimately adds up to 15,000 – 50,000 gallons of water per year depending on the size of your yard.

The cost of both artificial turf and natural grass varies depending on quality. Artificial Turf Supply is a wholesale supplier that provides the highest quality synthetic turf products at the lowest possible price for residential & commercial landscaping, pet turf areas, athletic fields, playground grass areas, stadiums, golf greens, and rooftops. The quality of artificial grass matters if you care about the longevity of your new turf.

Benefits of artificial grass over traditional grass

The benefits of artificial grass over conventional grass lawns are extensive. Installing turf means you never have to worry about heavy-duty maintenance tasks such as watering, mowing, weeding, fertilizing, and spraying your grass lawn with harmful pesticides.

Fake grass can thrive in any location because it does not rely on climate conditions to remain fully green and luscious. Natural grass needs specific weather conditions to thrive and often needs to be replaced if not cared for properly.

Artificial grass is also non-toxic, making it a safe choice for families with children and pets. Synthetic turf is great for any pet area because, unlike real grass, it prevents digging and is a mud-free zone. Lawns with fake grass and infill systems provide maximum drainage so owners can take their pets to do their business without stress.

Our playground turf is ideal for any play area because it is certified lead-free, soft between the toes, and mom-approved. Our softest, safest products create an even playing surface without holes or slippery areas.

Many are switching from real grass to artificial turf because they are engineered to withstand the test of time. Our synthetic grass products are durable, cool to the touch, resistant to staining and fading, antimicrobial, and can handle most weather conditions.

Pros and cons of artificial grass

There are both pros and cons to artificial grass lawns. Some people prefer the look of natural grass and don’t like that the initial cost of artificial grass can be expensive. However, the long term savings tend to outweigh the upfront costs of installing turf.

Others don’t like that artificial turf products can be hot to touch, especially in direct sunlight during the hotter months. We recommend shading your turf areas with an umbrella or awning, especially when facing hot weather conditions. 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.

How to choose the right artificial grass

There are a lot of artificial grass products on the market, so it can be difficult to know which one is the right choice for you. We are here to help make that decision stress-free!

The first thing to consider is what the main purpose of the lawn is – lawns and landscaping, pet turf, playground turf, outdoor sports turf, indoor sports turf, gym turf, putting green turf, or rooftop turf. This is an essential first step because each application has benefits for your unique needs. If you are looking to put new turf in your home, you will want something realistic and aesthetically pleasing.

If you have pets, you will need super durable turf that is resistant to fading. Athletic turf will have extra padding to prevent injuries. Once you determine what your functional priorities are for your lawn, the rest of the decision making process is fairly simple.

The next thing to consider is the size of the area you are planning to install your new turf. You’ll need to get the square footage and make sure to order enough turf to cover the entire area or you may end up with patchy turf that does not look natural.

When you are planning your artificial turf installation, think about what other elements will be in the area. Will there be any plants, structures, tile, etc that will need to be accounted for? All these factors will determine which turf products you select for your custom project.

Another point you will want to consider is price. Artificial grass can be expensive, but it is important to get high quality products if you want your lawn to look realistic and remain in good condition for years to come. Think about if you will be hiring a professional to install turf or if this will be a DIY project.

The turf installation process can be labor intensive, but doing it yourself is one way you can cut the cost of your project.

The different types of artificial grass

Four main components make up the different types of artificial grass. The first is material, which dictates the quality. Most synthetic grass is made out of either nylon or polyethylene. Typically polyethylene looks more realistic and is softer to the touch than nylon products.

Next you will look at height – The pile height can range from roughly 1” – 2.5” to support different applications. A shorter product might be used for golf greens and a taller one for residential lawns because it looks more realistic.

The second component is the density of the fake grass. Denser products will be more durable, making them ideal for football fields, pet turf, and playgrounds. Homeowners might prefer something with low-mid density to have a more natural look.

The last thing to consider is color. When looking at green turf products, different shades appear more natural whereas others are more vibrant. You can customize your project by combining artificial grass products with different colors, heights, and weights.

Multi-purpose artificial grass

Multi-purpose artificial grass is a great option for anyone seeking versatility. This type of grass works well for indoor and outdoor use and can be installed for various settings.

If you are a homeowner looking for realistic, aesthetically pleasing pet-friendly turf, multipurpose synthetic turf would be the perfect solution for you. Many people select multipurpose fake grass because it can adapt to changes that are made to the use of your space. This ensures that your lawn has longevity and is worth the investment.

Water savings with artificial grass

Installing artificial grass can save homeowners and business owners significant amounts of water, especially when compared to traditional landscaping. Because there is no need to water synthetic grass to keep it lush, green, and manicured, the potential water savings are immense.

Natural grass lawns typically require copious amounts of water to grow. An average sprinkler system in a residential lawn will use about 12 – 30 gallons of water per minute. Best practice to maintain green grass is to water the lawn at least 3 days per week for 30 – 35 minutes with a sprinkler system. The gallons of water add up quickly! When you switch to artificial grass, homeowners can save 15,000 – 50,000 gallons of water per year.

Artificial turf is a great grass alternative, especially in drought prone and dry climates where it is important to conserve water. Some counties are choosing to limit residential sprinkler use to save precious natural resources. 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 even with these government regulated restrictions.

Best way to clean and maintain your artificial grass

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

We recommend 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 with pet turf to prevent strong odors.
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.

How long artificial turf lasts

Artificial grass lawns are an excellent investment because they are highly durable and last long. A synthetic grass lawn has a life expectancy of 15-20 years, but it can surpass this time if cared for properly.

Synthetic turf has been specifically engineered for the outdoors and to withstand natural elements such as rain, snow, drought, and hot climates. Our infill options have incredible draining capabilities to prevent puddles and flooding. Plus, the turf will remain green no matter the weather. Not only is artificial grass built to withstand harsh weather conditions, it is also made to withstand high impact sports, pet play, gym use, and playground activities.

Frequently asked questions

What is artificial grass?

Artificial grass is a surface made from synthetic materials that looks and feels like natural grass. Different types of synthetic grass exist to fulfill many uses, such as sports arenas, residential areas, gyms, pet areas, playgrounds, and more.

Is artificial grass during the summer too hot for dogs?

The surface temperature of synthetic turf can be up to 10 degrees hotter than the air temperature. If it’s hot outside, your pets could get much heat exposure on the fake grass lawn.

We recommend taking practical steps to protect your pets. Keeping your grass out of direct sunlight, especially in the summer months, can be easily achieved by using umbrellas or awnings to shade your synthetic grass area. This simple action can significantly increase your pets’ comfort.

Can I lay artificial grass on soil?

There is no definitive answer to this question because it depends on various factors such as the condition of the soil and type of artificial grass you are installing.

A good rule of thumb is that installing a synthetic lawn will most likely be successful if the soil is sandy or loose. If the soil has a high moisture level or is clay-based, then the artificial grass installation will most likely 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.

What is the most realistic-looking artificial grass?

The most realistic artificial grass products will typically be made from polyethylene and have a deep pile height, medium density, and a natural-looking yarn color.

How much does artificial grass cost?

The average artificial grass cost is $2 – $3 per sq.ft. Learn more about how you can finance your artificial grass project.

What are the disadvantages of artificial grass?
