FAQs

Why Do People Install Fake Turf in Santa Monica, CA?

Let's be straight about it and see what our clients say.

 

Here is a list of few answers:

1) Our grass either dies, or we sink in the mud. 

2) With dogs, bringing all the dirt into the house, we did not really have a choice. We love it every day now.

3) Natural grass just does not grow in this corner. No matter what we do, we have more and more dirt out there.

4) We rented out our house and they turned water off. Now there is nothing but weeds and dust

5) We have parties. Natural lawn cannot handle it.

6) Enough dealing with gardeners and noisy lawn movers. (Censored words follow.)

 

Most of our clients admit that natural grass just does not survive. While nothing could beat nature, most of them do not have grass aleready.

Other advertised benefits include.

 

Save Environment

Climate changes. Temperature is rising worldwide. Droughts get more frequent. Water becomes a luxury.

Save Money

With increased rates and water restrictions, your lawn becomes a money-making vehicle. Install artificial turf to significantly cut your water bill. Select the right turf to reduce maintenance. Improve curb appeal. This means that installing an artificial lawn is a financially viable decision.

Enjoy Nature

True, nothing can replace natural grass.  However, too often the only person who walks in the front yard is a gardener. Cover the front yard with artificial grass and save water for farmers or the backyard to enjoy.

How Much Does it Cost to Install Artificial Turf?

On average, artificial turf installation ranges from $7 to $10 per sq.ft. The cost of installation depends on multiple factors, such as parking, elevation, accessibility, condition of soil and irrigation, and of course material and turf system that you select. You can get a more precise estimate in about 2 minutes online. Or request a custom quote and we will prepare it by the end of the day (or next morning when submitted after 3pm).

Does Artificial Grass Get Hot?

Fake grass does get warmer than a natural lawn when it’s out in the direct, mid-day sun. Even though this is not affecting Santa Monica yards too often. On the flip side, artificial grass doesn’t retain heat in the shade or darkness. Be cautious with colored silica sand or black infills as they can get much warmer than ambient temperature, barefoot hot. 

There are warm and hot grasses. We select grasses material with cooler surfaces and prefer to offer lighter infill. See our knowledge base to find how we achieve the lowest temperature of  your synthetic grass.

How Do I Clean Artificial Lawns?

In most cases, you can use a leaf blower or stiff-bristled broom and then rinse with water. For lightly soiled areas and pet areas, you can use sanitizer or cleaner.

You can also conduct a more rigorous cleaning on an annual basis. A pressure washer would help fight the dirt. When power washing your turf, at all times, keep your wand nozzle at least one foot away from your artificial grass. It is a good practice to apply sanitizer. For pet-friendly areas, we recommend a series of cleaning procedures. To learn more about cleaning fake grass after pets, select K9 pet turf and scroll down to the knowledge base. 

Most homeowners clean turf themselves. When you need a thorough cleaning, we are here to help.

Is Artificial Turf Safe for Children and Babies?

Artificial grass is safe for children and pets. We select artificial turf and infills that are lead-free, non-toxic, and low maintenance. Made and tested in the United States, those materials meet rigorous health standards.  In fact, we install commercial playgrounds frequently. A synthetic lawn is an excellent alternative for kids that have grass-related allergies. Request antibacterial sand and Microban technology to get the most of the synthetic turf surface. 

How Long Will Artificial Grass Last?

We observed that most people would like to replace their turf after about 10 years of use. !0 years is pretty much an effective warranty. However, those materials are of outdated technology. The lifespan of any turf depends on use and cleaning. Shorter artificial grasses with bolder blades survive more traffic and look just as installed longer. For example, soft plush grass might not be the best option for a side yard with consistent traffic. We help classify materials by use, so you could select the material that fits your yard best.

How Fast Can I Return My Investment With Artificial Grass?

How quickly you return your money investment depends on the condition of your natural lawn. Most people would spend the same amount on a natural lawn in about 3-5 years. When a natural lawn is in bad shape, it is not worth investing in repairing it, in most cases.  More often than not, we install artificial turf to cover open soil and dust. Money cannot buy a natural lawn for many of us. In this case, we invest in artificial grass simply to get backyards back.
