The type of artificial turf

Turf types differ in pile height and density. Lush Estate is our landscape synthetic turf; Pet Turf and PX80 both drain through the whole backing.

02

Drainage

A drainage base of #57 stone and limestone screenings is available as an option; we tell you at the site visit whether your yard would benefit.

03

Your yard

Access and the shape of the area can affect the final price, which we confirm at the site visit.

04

Edging length

Edging is priced per linear foot, so the length you choose changes the total.

05

Options

TCool keeps the turf cooler, and Envirofill or Pet Control infill is available for pet areas, each priced per square foot.

HOA approval and permits

Many South Florida communities ask for HOA approval before artificial grass goes in, and we can prepare the product specifications, samples and a site plan for your board. The state also requires a call to Sunshine 811 before any digging; ask us about it at the site visit, along with any city or HOA rules.

Artificial grass vs natural grass: what does it really cost?

Artificial grass, also known as synthetic grass or fake grass, costs more than sod on day one. Real grass keeps costing: water, mowing, fertilizer, pest control and re-sodding the worn spots. A synthetic lawn then needs a rinse and a brush, which is why a homeowner should compare the cost of artificial grass over years, not just the installation cost. Read the full pros and cons of artificial grass and how long it lasts.
