What determines the price of my installation?

Several factors affect the price of your installation, but it generally comes down to the size and shape of your yard. Contact us for a quick quote!

2

How long does an artificial turf installation last?

We only use premium artificial fescue, which should hold up to regular use for at leas 15-20 years.

3

Is artificial turf safe for children and pets?

Modern artificial turf is designed to be safe for both children and pets, with non-toxic materials and antimicrobial properties.

4

What kind of maintenance does artificial turf require?

We aim to reduce your maintenance of your yard, not increase it. Debris (like fallen leaves) will still need to be raked away, but since turf doesn't require any watering or mowing, it is less intensive than natural grass maintenance. It also eliminates most weed growth.

5

Will artificial turf drain properly during heavy rain?

Yes! Our turf installations include a permeable backing and proper base preparation to ensure effective drainage, often draining better than natural grass. If your yard doesn't flood currently, it won't flood with artificial turf.

6

How does artificial turf impact property value?

In many cases, artificial turf can increase property value by improving curb appeal and reducing maintenance costs, especially in NYC where lawn maintenance is more difficult. 

7

What preparation is required before installation?

We first remove the existing grass and a layer of top soil, level the ground, and then install a base of crushed stone to help with drainage. We also lay down weed barrier to ensure weeds don't sprout through the turf. 

8

Will artificial turf fade or lose its color over time?

Our high-quality artificial turf is UV-resistant and designed to maintain its vibrant color for many years.

9

How long does installation take?

A typical installation in NYC takes 2-3 days, depending on the size of the area and shape of the yard. 

10

How do I clean artificial turf if my pets use it?

Pet waste should be picked up immediately. If you intend on using the turf for this purpose, let us know so that we can ensure we're using the properly treated turf and anti-microbial infill.

11

What are the environmental impacts of artificial turf?

Artificial turf reduces water usage, eliminates the need for pesticides and fertilizers, and doesn't require any sort of mowing.

12

How does artificial turf handle heavy objects or furniture?

Our premium artificial turf can handle furniture and foot traffic. Special pads can be used under furniture legs. If lawn furniture is left in the same place for many years it may flatten out the turf under it. 

13

Will weeds grow through artificial turf?

Our installation includes layers of weed barrier fabric so generally no. After several years, occasional weeds may appear at the edge of the turf installation, but those examples are limited and would be easy to remove. 

14

Can artificial turf be installed over concrete or other hard surfaces?

Yes, artificial turf can be installed over concrete with proper preparation, though drainage considerations and padding requirements differ from standard ground installation.

15

What types of artificial turf are available?

Turf options include various blade lengths, colors, and textures designed for specific uses like landscaping, pet areas, or sports surfaces.

 

We only use premium fescue that has multi-colored blades, has anti-reflective properties, is durable, and is treated to prevent fading. Our aim is to make our installations look as close to a lush and vibrant lawn as possible. 

14

Will artificial turf affect my home's foundation or nearby structures?

Artificial turf will not negatively impact foundations or structures.
