Artificial Grass Installation in Pasadena, CA 

FAQs

Why Should I Switch to Synthetic Grass in Pasadena?

Rather than showing off all of the amazing reasons, here are some answers from our clients.

 

What do they have to say?

1) We put so much water on our lawn to try and keep it alive, but now it's too muddy to walk on. Or the grass will just die anyway.

2) After playing outside, our dog will track mud and leaves into our house. We have to constantly clean everything from our couch, floors, and rugs. It's way too much work!

3) Our lawn doesn't get enough sunlight and we end up with dead grass every year.

4) We had renters who turned off the sprinklers outside and let the grass die to save on their water bill.

5) We have parties in our yard and our guests find it difficult walking in heels.

6) We've had enough trying to find a good gardener. We don't want to deal with the loud noises of their machinery anymore.

 

Our clients admit that natural grass is nice, but doesn't survive the heat and traffic and requires too much maintenance. These aren't the only factors to them choosing artificial grass.

 

Save the Environment

With temperatures rising and climates changing, droughts get more frequent here in Southern California. Water becomes more of a luxury to us instead of being guaranteed.

Save Your Money

The threat of drought in CA means higher water costs and restrictions. This means that maintaining your lawn becomes extremely expensive. Installing artificial grass will help you to decrease your water bill immensely. You'll also reduce the amount that you're spending on upkeep while increasing the appeal of your home.

Enjoy Nature

We all understand that nothing will fully replace natural grass. But oftentimes, the only people who really go in your front yard is your gardener or mail people. Installing artificial grass for your front yard will save you water and money while increasing your curb appeal.

What's the Cost of Artificial Grass Installation?

It costs from $7 to $10 per sq. ft. to install artificial grass. This is on average in the industry.

This cost depends on several different things, such as elevation, soil condition, irrigation, parking, and accessibility. Of course, there are also labor costs, material, and turf system costs.

Does Artificial Grass Become Hot?

Artificial grass can get warmer than a natural lawn when it's out in direct sunlight, especially during midday. But artificial grass doesn't absorb heat in the shade. Be careful if you use colored silica sand or black rubber infills because these can cause the synthetic grass to get two times hotter and could potentially hurt you. We don't use these for our projects.

We have a selection of grasses that have cooler surfaces and use lighter infills to keep your lawn safe for you and your family. These options will still get warm in the sun but are much safer. Check out our knowledge base to see how we get the lowest temperatures in artificial turf.

How Are Artificial Lawns Cleaned?

If you just need to do a light cleaning, you can use a stiff-bristled broom or leaf blower to remove any debris and then rinse with water after. If you have a lightly soiled area or have pets, you can use a gentle cleaning solution.

For areas that need more cleaning, use a pressure washer but make sure to keep it at least one foot away from the grass at all times. This will help prevent the infill from becoming uneven. You should also apply a sanitizing solution to the area. If you have a pet, we recommend using a series of different cleaning procedures. Go to our pet turf page and you'll find the knowledge base with more info.

Usually, homeowners clean their grass by themselves, but if you need deeper cleaning, we're here to help you out.

Is Artificial Grass Safe For Kids?

Of course! We choose grass and infills that are non-toxic, lead-free, and low maintenance. They're manufactured and tested in the United States. If your child has a grass-related allergy, an artificial lawn is an amazing alternative for them so they can still play outside. When installing artificial grass for you and your children to enjoy, we recommend getting antibacterial sand for infill and choosing grass that has built-in Microban technology to keep them safe and keep you worry-free.

How Long Will My Artificial Grass Last?

Artificial grasses normally have a lifespan of 15 years. This lifespan depends on the usage of the turf and how often it is cleaned. It also depends on the type of turf, as grasses with short blades survive longer than grasses with long blades. This is because the short blades are more resistant to traffic and are more durable. We organize our grasses and materials by use, so it's easier for you to select the best material for your yard.

How Fast Will I Get An ROI?

Artificial grass installations payback in about 3-5 years, starting from the day of installation completion. A major decrease in your water bills can help to shorten this time. Your lawn will help you save a lot of money and even gives you tax benefits.

It's essentially like earning a couple of hundred extra dollars every month.

We're often installing artificial grass to cover dry soil and dust, mainly because of California's water regulations.

Unfortunately, money can't always buy a natural grass lawn for a lot of us. Because of this, we invest in artificial grass to save money in the long run while bringing back a beautiful green yard.
