Basics & Getting Started

Artificial turf is a surface of synthetic fibers made to look like natural grass.

Anywhere you'd have real grass! It's most often used in sports arenas but is great for playgrounds, dog runs, golf courses, putting greens, driving ranges, athletic fields, areas with high traffic, or where cost concerns prevent natural grass from being used.

Artificial turf installation is great for commercial properties, too, where owners or property managers want a great-looking lawn with curb appeal - and no maintenance worries.

Yes, artificial grass is safe for people and pets. It's free from harmful chemicals and allergens commonly found in natural grass and fertilizers.
