What Is Artificial Turf?
Artificial turf, also referred to as artificial grass, is made of synthetic fibers that are manufactured to have the same appearance as natural grass.
However, unlike natural grass and sod, artificial turf will not lose its beautiful, green appearance during the thick of winter or the dog days of summer. Even during droughts, your lawn will remain lush.
What’s even better? Your new turf will form a barrier that blocks weeds and unwanted plant growth. That means you can throw out pesticides and other chemicals used for lawn maintenance. Also, since turf is completely synthetic, it doesn’t require routine watering.

Turf Frequently Asked Questions
Is turf real grass?
No, turf is created using synthetic fibers that are designed to look just like natural grass.
Is turf better than grass?
There are many benefits to turf over natural grass. Turf doesn’t require any maintenance, water, or harmful pesticides. Plus, it looks great all year round! When it’s time to replace your artificial turf, we can even re-use some of your existing turf in new areas, such as dog runs and kennels or to create weed-free garden paths. This makes artificial turf even more budget-friendly to use and replace when the time comes.
What’s the difference between turf and artificial grass?
Traditionally, turf is the term used to describe shorter artificial grass that is designed for sports fields. However, both turf and artificial grass use similar materials. We offer several turf lengths based on your preferences.
How much does turf cost?
While many homeowners fear that turf is a cost-prohibitive option, it’s actually fairly affordable: about $18-$22 per square foot. This pricing becomes even more competitive when you factor in the cost of grass seed, pesticides, herbicides, and other chemicals.
