FAQs

Why Do Homeowners Install Synthetic Turf in the Los Angeles Area?

Let's see what our clients say instead of bringing up standard answers..

 

Top reasons from our recent poll:

1)  Our grass is either dead or looks like a swamp that we cannot walk on.

2) It takes one dog walk to make my house look just as good as my yard. It gets dirty and messy even when it is dry outside.

3) Our yard does not get much sunlight. Our neighbor's house is pretty tall. Grass just does not have a chance in our yard.

4) We rented out our house and those "bad people" turned off the water. All grass is dead now. We are lucky we could collect rent during these times.

5) Well, we cannot put cocktail tables out here. Ladies just could not walk in dress shoes.

6) I hate these lawn movers and sloppy gardeners. Enough is enough.

 

Most of our clients admit that natural grass just does not survive the heat and traffic. But there are other factors.

 

Save Water

Climate changes. Temperature is rising worldwide.  Water is a luxury nowadays. Do not waste it. Save water for farmers.

Save Money

With increased rates and water restrictions, your lawn becomes a money-making vehicle. Install artificial turf to significantly cut your water bill.  Improve curb appeal and reduce maintenance. Artificial turf installation is a financially reasonable investment.

Enjoy nature

True, nothing can replace natural grass.  However, too often the only person who walks in the front yard is a gardener. Cover the front yard with artificial grass and save water for farmers or the backyard to enjoy.

How Much Does It Cost to Install Artificial Turf?

On average, artificial turf installation ranges from $7 to $10 per sq.ft. The cost of installation depends on multiple factors, such as parking, elevation, accessibility, condition of soil and irrigation, and of course material and turf system that you select. You can get a more precise estimate in about 2 minutes online. Or request a custom quote and we will prepare it by the end of the day (or next morning when submitted after 3pm).

How Hot Does Artificial Grass Get?

Synthetic grass does get warmer than a natural lawn when it’s out in the direct, mid-day sun. On the flip side, artificial grass doesn’t retain heat in the shade or darkness. Be cautious with colored silica sand or black infills as they can get 2 times warmer than ambient temperature, barefoot hot. We do not carry those.

There are warmer and cooler grasses. We select grasses with cooler surfaces and prefer to offer lighter infill. See our knowledge base to find how we achieve the lowest temperature of artificial turf.

How Do You Clean Artificial Lawns?

For light cleaning, you can use a leaf blower or stiff-bristled broom and then rinse with water. For lightly soiled areas and pet areas, you can use a a cleaner.

For better results, use a pressure washer. When power washing your turf, at all times, keep your wand nozzle at least one foot away from your artificial grass. It is a good practice to apply sanitizer. For pet-friendly areas, we recommend a series of cleaning procedures.

Most homeowners clean turf themselves. When you need a thorough cleaning, we are here to help.

Is Artificial Turf Safe for Children and Babies?

Absolutely. We select artificial turf and infills that are lead-free, non-toxic, and low maintenance. They’re made and tested in the United States. In fact, we install commercial playgrounds frequently. A synthetic lawn is an excellent alternative for kids that have grass related allergies. Choose antibacterial sand and Microban technology to get the most of the artificial turf surface. 

How Long Will Artificial Grass Last?

Most artificial grasses have an expected life span of 15 years. The lifespan of any turf depends on use and cleaning. Shorter artificial grasses with bolder blades survive more traffic and look just as installed longer. For example, soft plush grass might not be the best option for a side yard with consistent traffic. We help classify materials by use, so you could select the material that fits your yard best.

How Fast Can I Return My Investment For Artificial Grass?

On average, artificial grass projects payback within 3-5 years. Drastically increasing water bills can shorten the period. Accompanied by tax benefits, your lawn becomes a money-saving machine. It's like earning a couple of hundred dollars every month. More often than not, we install artificial turf to cover open soil and dust. Money cannot buy a natural lawn for many of us. In this case, we invest in artificial grass simply to get backyards back.
