Artificial Turf Installation Services for Greenville & Greer, SC

The Artificial Turf Installation Process

To help you decide on whether artificial turf is the correct choice for your property, here is the typical installation process:

• Preparation - The first step in the process is to prepare the area for installation. This includes removing any debris and potential obstacles. Then the ground must be leveled and compacted to be ready for installation.

• Choosing Your Artificial Turf - Once everything is prepared, it’s time to choose the type of artificial turf you want. With a variety of types to choose from, the landscaping contractors at Southern Lawn & Landscape LLC will help you to make a decision. You’ll want to consider the climate, the foot traffic, and what you plan to use the area for. 

• Base Installation - Once the type of turf has been chosen and the area has been prepped, it is time to lay the base. The base is usually crushed stone or gravel with a layer of sand or granite.

• Laying Down The Turf - Now that the base is set, it is time to lay down the turf. We lay down the turf and carefully trim it to ensure that the artificial turf is precisely fit. Then we secure the turf to the ground to ensure it is secure.

• Infill - Although the turf is in place, the job is not done. It must be infilled to provide cushioning and help keep turf in place. Infill can consist of rubber, sand, or both.

• Finalization - Now that everything is finished, there are still some final steps to ensure that your new artificial turf is fully ready for use. This includes sweeping or blowing off any excess infill to keep the area clean and brushing the turf to give it a more natural look

Benefits of Artificial Turf

• No Need for Watering: Since artificial turf is not a living organism, there is no need to water it. It will always look full, green, and healthy.

• No Need for Pesticides: Pests are not attracted to turf because it is not real grass. Therefore, you do not have to worry about spraying harmful pesticides on your lawn.

• No Need to Mow Grass: It does not grow. Therefore, there is no need to mow it to keep it at an ideal height. It will remain the same height forever.

• Doesn’t Need Sunlight: Again, it is not living grass. That means it also does not need sunlight exposure to look lush and green.

• Tolerates More Foot Traffic: Artificial turf is made of high-quality, synthetic material that can withstand heavy foot traffic.

Keeping Up With Turf Care

Once your new artificial turf is installed, you’ll want to make sure you keep up with proper turf care. Even though artificial turf is lower maintenance compared to natural grass, it is important to care for it to keep it looking beautiful and increase its lifespan.
