What to Consider Before Artificial Grass Installation
Gainesville, Florida Homeowners before having synthetic turf professionally installed, ask yourself the following questions:
1. Are there sprinklers, pipes, or electrical wires where you plan to install turf?
Check to see if the turf parameter contains these items before installing. If they are present, you can choose to keep the items there or relocate them. This decision impacts the installation cost.
2. Are there weeds or grasses growing in the artificial grass installation site?
If there are grasses or weeds growing within the installation parameter, remove them or spray them with weed killer. Furthermore, when laying artificial grass, the concrete base material prevents any weeds from growing from beneath. Additionally, installing a geotextile weed barrier adds an extra layer of protection. This works to keep weeds and ground-dwelling lawn pests out of your synthetic grass.
3. How is the drainage where you plan to install the artificial grass?
If you are installing synthetic grass on a hard surface or on slow-draining soil, consider adding a drainage system such as a drain or additional base material. This is necessary because it prevent puddling, mold, and mildew in your synthetic grass. Our professionals will work with you to ensure that you have the right drainage for your turf.
4. What is the shape and size of the turf area?
The cost of the project depends on the size and shape of the turf. Synthetic turf is made in at a set width. Therefore, non-rectangular shapes that involve curves cost additionally due to waste accumulation. Non-hard surfaces such as concrete slab require about 3 inches of excavation to prepare the area for road base material to solidify a strong, sturdy surface. The road base and turf is packed tightly to ensure that the synthetic turf has even surfacing.
5. How do I get started? What is your consultation process?
When beginning any turf project, we begin with listening and understanding the needs of the client. From there we then simulate the installation process, but more importantly plan out how we can do it sustainably. We review images and measurements, then we then build out a design and job estimate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Commonly asked questions about our artificial grass.
1. What are the largest benefits of artificial grass compared to natural grass?
The levels of time, attention, and worry that go into natural grass maintenance are quite high. Fake grass does not require mowing, irrigation, fertilization, or pest control, and it can endure all types of weather. And most importantly, it will STAY GREEN! Switching to artificial grass is an excellent way to save time and save money on landscaping. Its environmental benefits include water conservation and reduced pollution emission from landscaping tools and chemicals. Additionally, synthetic grass is an excellent material for putting greens and sports fields due to its even surface.
2. How long does artificial grass last?
Our synthetic turf is very durable and can last up to 10 years.
3. How is artificial grass environmentally friendly?
Artificial turf can lower your carbon footprint, as it does not require mowing, watering, or fertilizing like traditional grass lawns. Installing synthetic grass reduces the amount of CO2 emissions from lawnmowers, and it lowers water usage and chemical runoff. These are just a few of the many environmental benefits to using synthetic grass to build lawns and artificial putting greens.
4. Is artificial turf safe for pets and children?
Yes, whether it’s for putting greens or dog grass, synthetic grass is pet safe and child friendly and has shock absorbing qualities. We ensure that our artificial turf installations have proper drainage so your grass remains easy to clean and safe for your loved ones. And kids stay cleaner! Artificial grass is resistant to digging, running, and rough play. These are just a few reasons why many pet owners, animal shelters, and dog parks use artificial dog grass. Most importantly, fleas do not have the ability to nest in fake grass. This means that artificial grass can significantly reduce the likelihood of flea infestations.
5. Does artificial turf get moldy?
Our artificial grass drains and absorbs minimal water and is therefore resistant to mold, even in Florida. However, it is important for your turf to have a proper drainage system set in place. This prevents puddling and flooding, which can cause mold and mildew to form.
6. How do I clean artificial grass?
There are plenty of ways to maintain a beautiful synthetic grass lawn. For a quick spruce, use a leaf blower to remove any debris from the fake grass. For a more in-depth cleaning that removes bacteria, spray the turf with a one-to-one mixture of water and cleaning vinegar. Rinse the mixture off with a hose or a pressure washer on a low setting and brush the grass when it is dry. You can also use a simple stain deodorizer to successfully remove brown spots and pet stains.
7. Do I need to treat fake grass with pesticides?
No. Insects and other critters do not typically dwell in artificial grass as it does not offer them a food source or easy access to soil for nesting, like natural grass. This makes synthetic turf an efficient and environmentally friendly pest control method.
