Frequently Asked Questions

We realize you might have questions about artificial turf, so here are the questions we hear the most from our customers.

Will there be any maintenance?: Periodical maintenance will be required to ensure that the turf stays healthy as well as looks its best. We recommend periodical brushing to raise the blades, refresh in the infill, and if you have pets, treat it with an enzyme spray to neutralize any odor that might appear. These are all things you can do on your own, or we offer maintenance services where we can take care of this for you.
How long does it last?: With proper maintenance, artificial turf is designed to last for 20 years. The manufacturer will warranty the turf for up to 15 years.
Is artificial turf hot?: Everything in Texas gets hot, but modern turf is designed to resist heat. We like to say it won't get any hotter than your back deck or the concrete, at most. We also recommend keeping your irrigation system or have a hose handy nearby if you're truly concerned about those dreaded July and August days when you can fry an egg outside.
Will it smell if I have dogs?: With proper infill and maintenance, you shouldn't have an issue. We have two 50-pound doodles who like to use the restroom in a very small part of our turf and smell has not been a concern for us. There are a variety of affordable enzyme sprays that you can attach to your hose and quickly spray your turf down to kill off any odor.
How do you install artificial turf?: First we start by removing all your sod as well as up to 5 inches of dirt. Then we bring in a compactable base and reshape your space with a focus on a flat, level surface that moves water away. Then we lay down a commercial weed barrier, then cut and lay the artificial turf, and then we finish by laying a sand or silica infill to give the artificial turf body and height.
How long does it take to install?: It can vary by the size of the yard and complexity, but usually an installation is a few days to a full week.
How much does it cost?: The price can vary depending on the complexity of the application and the turf selected, but a good budget for artificial turf is $9-$12 per square foot.
