The Premier Artificial Turf Installer for the Lowcountry

Artificial grass face weight refers to the density of the fibers on the surface of the turf. It is measured in ounces per square yard (oz/sq yd).

Face weights typically range from 30-80 oz/sq yd, with higher weights generally indicating a denser, more realistic, and durable artificial grass product.

However, face weight alone doesn't determine overall quality, as other factors like fiber material, backing, and tuft bind also play important roles.

Installing artificial grass involves several key steps:

• Remove existing grass/vegetation and 3-4 inches of topsoil

• Compact the soil and apply a weed barrier

• Add 2-3 inches of crushed rock base material and compact it -

• Apply 1-2 inches of leveling sand and compact it

• Lay out the artificial grass, trim to fit the space, and join seams

• Secure the perimeter with landscape stakes or adhesive

• Spread infill material (like silica sand) into the turf fibers

• Brush the grass blades upright

The best artificial grass for you depends on your specific needs and preferences.

Key factors to consider include intended use (landscaping, pets, sports, etc.), desired appearance, durability, maintenance requirements, and budget.

Look for products with realistic colors/textures, good drainage, high-quality backing, and adequate warranty coverage.

Artificial grass has both positive and negative environmental impacts.

On one hand, it eliminates the need for water, fertilizers, and pesticides, reducing strain on natural resources and minimizing chemical runoff. It also decreases emissions from gas-powered lawn equipment.

However, artificial turf is made from petroleum-based plastics, which have a significant carbon footprint to produce. It also lacks the carbon sequestration and biodiversity benefits of natural grass.

At the end of its lifespan, artificial grass contributes to landfill waste if not recycled. Choosing a long-lasting, recyclable product and using eco-friendly infill can help mitigate environmental drawbacks.

High-quality artificial grass is generally considered safe and non-toxic for people and pets.

Most modern products are made from inert, non-toxic materials like polyethylene and polypropylene.

All of the turf products we use have been third-party tested for heavy metals and other hazardous substances, especially if being used by children or animals.

We actively avoid products with loose rubber infill made from recycled tires, as this may contain concerning chemicals.

Plant-based infill options are also available as a safer alternative.

The cost of artificial grass varies based on the specific product, project size, and local market. Typically, turf products pay for themselves over 2-3 years (based on lawn maintenance cost reduction).

Large projects often have a lower cost per square foot than smaller ones. Other factors like site access, existing soil conditions, and turf features (colors, thatch, etc.) also impact the total price.

The best artificial grass for pets has excellent drainage, durable fibers, and antimicrobial properties.

We use products specifically designed for pet use with features like built-in deodorizers, a permeable backing, and a dense, short pile that resists matting and makes waste removal easier.

We also avoid turf with abrasive fibers that could irritate your pet's skin. Products with natural infill materials like coconut husks or silica sand are preferable to rubber infill.

Artificial grass offers several advantages over natural grass.

Benefits include lower maintenance (no mowing, watering, or fertilizing), improved durability, year-round usability, and suitability for high-traffic areas. It can also be a more practical choice in shaded or drought-prone environments.

Ultimately, the better choice depends on your specific needs, preferences, and site conditions.

Basic maintenance involves removing debris like leaves and twigs with a leaf blower, broom, or rake.

For pet waste, remove solid matter and rinse the area with a hose. Periodically brush the fibers against the grain to prevent matting.

For deeper cleaning, use a turf-safe cleaner or a mixture of mild dish soap and warm water, applied with a soft-bristled brush or sponge. Rinse thoroughly and allow to dry completely. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the fibers.

Yes, artificial grass can be installed on concrete surfaces like patios, balconies, and rooftops.

The key is proper preparation to ensure adequate drainage and a stable base. This typically involves cleaning the concrete thoroughly, repairing any cracks or damage, and installing a drainage layer like perforated tiles or a grid system.

The artificial grass is then laid over the drainage layer and secured with adhesive or mechanical fasteners. Proper infill helps keep the grass fibers upright.

Installing on concrete requires careful planning but can create inviting, low-maintenance outdoor living spaces.
