Frequently Asked Questions

There are many different styles of artificial turf and many of the synthetic turf applications are installed with generic styles of turf due to an assumption that all turf is the same or a limited variety is offered. This is not true, and our team can show you all your options and select the best application for your project. Very low activity areas need to address quality, density, and aesthetics whereas areas with mid-level activity or more should have a thatch product with a higher density turf installed. A high-density, thatch-based product recovers significantly better during activity and grooming, as well as a high-quality yarn.

More a matter of keeping clean than maintaining… Remove organic materials from the surface, typically by using a leaf blower. Rakes may be required for removing heavier objects; however, the leaf blower is the ideal tool for general upkeep. A stiff, natural bristle broom can be used to “fluff” high traffic areas.

Artificial grass does not stay as cool as natural grass which has water running through it, but it does not absorb and radiate heat like pavement, rock or brick. That said, summers in Plano are hot, and any surface exposed to the sun long enough will heat up. To help keep your turf cool we recommend T°-Cool® Infill. It works by trapping moisture and slowly releases it through the process of evaporative cooling. This can lower the temperature of your turf by 30° F- 50°F.

Most quality turf products have a 15-20 year life expectancy. Our warranty guarantees that it won’t fade or fall apart and that it will look great for years to come!

Nobody likes a lawn strewn with puddles or the mud that gets tracked through your house. This is why artificial grass is designed with a backing that facilitates drainage in one of two ways. The two most common types of turf backing are “Perforated or Hole-Punch” and “Non-Perforated or Fully Permeable.”

Artificial grass is extremely versatile and is commonly used at both residential and commercial properties throughout Plano, TX. 

The most popular turf applications are:

Pet Turf – People choose artificial turf for dogs and other pet uses because it doesn’t turn brown from dog urine, dogs can’t dig through it, and because of its durability it remains pristine, even with very active dogs.

Outdoor Living Areas – A lot of people choose artificial turf for its versatility in outdoor living spaces like rooftops, decks, balconies, patios, around swimming pools, etc.

Lawns & Landscapes – Synthetic lawns add aesthetic beauty to any property, and allow customers to avoid watering and maintenance costs. On average, when switching to artificial turf lawns, homeowners can save up to 56,000 gallons of water per year.

Backyard Putting Greens – Many Plano residents get backyard putting greens installed to practice their short game whenever they want. It’s certainly easier than driving to the local driving range or golf course. Artificial turf putting greens can be completely customized, from the shape of the green to the breaks, you can even adjust the ball speed.

Yes! Artificial grass is safe for kids, dogs, and pets. Synthetic grass provides a lush, soft surface that helps to absorb the impact from falls.

Before installing artificial grass on dirt, several steps must be taken to prepare the ground. The dirt surface must be properly flattened and topped with a base layer of crushed limestone that’s compacted. This creates a level foundation to install the turf and is permeable, allowing water & pet urine to drain.

Installing artificial grass on concrete is actually easier than other surfaces as it doesn’t require much preparation.

The final price of artificial turf depends largely on the size of the installation, type of turf being installed, amount of prep work required, etc. On average, for a 1,000 square foot installation, you can expect to pay around $6.00 – $12.00 per square foot.
