Frequently asked questions.

No mowing, no watering, no fertilizing. Occasional rinse to knock off dust, a leaf blower for debris. If you have dogs, a quick enzyme-cleaner spray a few times a year keeps things fresh. That's the whole list.

For most residential yards in Aledo or Southlake, annual maintenance runs roughly $75 to $175. That typically covers an occasional rinse and a small amount of infill top-off for higher-traffic areas.

Most residential installs run $7 to $9 per square foot depending on size and product. Custom putting greens run $10 to $12 per square foot because they need precision grading and specialized turf.

North Texas homeowners typically see a 40 to 60 percent reduction in monthly water bills after switching to artificial turf. Over the 15 to 20 year lifespan of the product, those savings usually more than double the install cost.

Yes. A few financing programs if you'd rather spread the cost out. Low monthly payments, no hidden fees. Financing doesn't change the install price. LyonFinancial.net is our preferred partner.

No. Our turf is UV-stabilized and built for the Texas sun, so it won't get brittle or fade under normal use. The only real repair cost would be physical damage — fire, sharp equipment, that kind of thing.

In direct sun, turf can get warm. We mitigate this with specialized cooling infills that keep the surface up to 20 percent cooler than standard infill, making it comfortable for bare feet and pet paws.

Not with our system. We use high-flow drainage backing combined with antimicrobial infill, which prevents odor buildup and keeps the yard clean for pets.

Yes. Artificial turf is used in dog parks and playgrounds across the country. Our playground installs use IPEMA-certified fall-height protection and 100 percent lead-free materials.

We remove existing sod and up to five inches of dirt, bring in a compactable base that drains, install a 15-year weed barrier, lay and secure the turf, then add infill, brush, and clean. A proper base is what makes a turf install last.

Most residential installs take a few days to a full week depending on yard size and complexity. Full field conversions run longer and get a custom timeline.

Rated for 15-20 years and backed by a 15-year product warranty plus a 1-year install warranty. UV-stabilized fiber that holds up to the North Texas sun without fading or cracking.

Give us a call and we will come measure it for you. Free on-site consultations across Tarrant, Dallas, Collin, Denton, Parker, and Wise Counties. If you'd rather get a rough number yourself first, there are a few free measurement apps for your phone. We personally use CamToPlan, which has a free trial but is paid to use long term.

Yes, a lot of them. Custom greens with tuned stimp speed and a fringe that matches your playing style. They roll true.

Custom greens need precision grading, specialized turf, and careful finishing to get the right ball response. The materials and labor per square foot are higher than a standard residential lawn install.

We have heard that claim and it is the first we have come across. We talk to a lot of turf suppliers and a 25-year warranty is not something we have found. We stand behind a 15-year product warranty and a 1-year installation warranty, and we mean it.

You can, but you do not have to. Turf does not need watering. Some customers keep their system on a reduced schedule to water the foundation of the house, which is common in North Texas, but that is optional.

Yes. Every Soake shell is ETL listed and carries the ETL sticker right on the pool, so your city inspector can verify the listing before backfill. The shell also arrives with bonding lugs tied to the internal rebar and copper bonding wire coiled at each corner, ready for the electrician to tie into the bonding grid. We schedule the inspection window into the install.

A fully built 7'×13' pool weighs about 23,000 pounds, and yes, for most DFW lots. Depending on access we set it with a boom truck, a crane (over the house is routine), or a telehandler for narrow driveways and tight side yards. We check your specific lot for free, from satellite first, through our crane access assessment at bearcatturf.com/pools/crane-access-assessment.

On a compact 4'×6' pad, on crushed stone or concrete, anywhere from 10 to 90 feet from the pool. That range means we can usually tuck it behind the garage or along a side yard. The heater vent needs 4 feet of clearance from any door or window, and indoor equipment rooms work too with the proper vent kit.

Yes. The shell is fully self-supporting, so it can be installed flush with grade, partially raised (the most popular look, about 18 inches proud), fully above ground, or set on a compacted stone pad with no excavation at all and a deck built around it.

No, and honestly it is better described as both and neither. Every model heats to a full 104°F for winter soaks and chills for summer, but the jets are gentle rippling jets, not hot-tub hydrotherapy blasters. Think one body of water that is a cool pool in July and a hot soak in January, with one set of equipment.

If it has a heater, nothing: you keep using it, which is rather the point. Steam off the water while the yard is iced over. If you skip the heater, the pool gets winterized before a hard freeze (lines blown out, equipment drained), the same routine as any pool in North Texas.
