FAQ
Hello, how can we help?
A: Artificial turf installation generally falls into three categories: residential, commercial, and sports. Residential artificial turf is typically used in homes or backyards to provide a low-maintenance lawn alternative. Commercial artificial turf is often used by businesses to improve their outdoor spaces, but can also be used around playgrounds and other recreational areas. Sports turf is designed for use on athletic fields, with specialized materials and designs for different types of sports like football, soccer, baseball, etc. Pet synthetic grass can also be installed to provide a safe place for pets to play outdoors without damaging real grass.
A: Before installing artificial turf, it’s important to prepare the area properly. This includes removing any existing vegetation or debris from the surface, tilling the soil to even out any bumps and disruptions in the ground, adding gravel or sand for drainage purposes if necessary, and using a landscape fabric or underlayment as needed. It’s also important to make sure that the surface is level before beginning installation.
A: After an artificial turf installation has been completed, it’s important to carry out regular maintenance in order to ensure its longevity. This includes brushing the material occasionally so that dirt doesn’t get embedded in it and debris doesn’t build up on top of it; applying infill material such as rubber granules regularly if necessary; clearing away any standing water on top of the surface; cleaning off any stains that occur; checking for signs of damage caused by pets or heavy equipment; and addressing any potential drainage issues immediately if they arise.
A: Before installing artificial turf, it is important to consider the purpose of the installation. What type of environment will the turf be in and what activities will it serve? Will the synthetic grass be used for residential landscaping, commercial applications, pet areas, sports fields or playgrounds? Also take into account the climate and weather conditions in your region, as certain types of artificial turf may do better than others when exposed to extreme temperatures. Additionally, make sure you have a reliable installer who has experience with all types of artificial turf installations and can provide guidance on which product is best for your needs.
A: Yes – all types of artificial turf require some level of maintenance once installed. Depending on where it’s located, regular brushing and cleaning may be necessary in order to keep dirt away from the blades and maintain an overall clean look. Artificial grass should also be inspected regularly for signs of wear or damage so these issues can be addressed promptly before they become more serious problems. If pets are present then additional care should be taken making sure that pet waste is cleaned up immediately as this can lead to staining or discoloration over time if left unattended.
A: Most manufacturers offer warranties ranging from 5-15 years based on their individual products and customers should check with their supplier regarding specific coverage details before committing to a purchase. Warranties typically cover defects in materials and workmanship but not necessarily wear-and-tear damage caused by natural elements such as sunlight exposure or heavy foot traffic over time; these issues may still need to be addressed separately by a professional installer even if within warranty period limits.
A: When considering artificial grass, think twice before simply laying it over soil or existing lawns. Professional landscapers tell us that this isn’t the ideal choice for a beautiful outdoor space.
A: Quality topsoil is essential for unlocking the full potential of turf. With thousands of living plants making up any single section, providing a suitable growing medium can make all the difference in developing lush and healthy grass over time!
A: Artificial turf requires a solid base in order to provide the desired look and feel of grass. A layer of sand underneath helps create an even, level surface which ensures durability and comfortability over time.
