Artificial turf products have come a long way in the past two decades, both from a manufacturing and distribution standpoint. Nowadays the end-user has access to multiple purchasing options, all of which offer various degrees of product quality, installation experience, and post-installation support/guarantees that can make or break the client’s investment.

Choosing a trusted Dallas artificial grass company is an important aspect of making a confident investment. When dealing with a reputable turf contractor, you will likely see total project pricing ranging from:

• $6 – $15 per square foot for artificial grass
• $15 – $30 per square foot for putting greens

Key variables that could shift this number one way or the other are:

• Size of the area (volume)
• Ground preparation requirements
• Access to the project site
• Quality of product
• Application type (regular landscape turf, putting green, bocce court, etc). Most of the time, recreational applications such as putting greens will be on the higher end of the scale.

To receive a more accurate approximation of the cost, it helps to know the square footage of the project. For help determining the size of your project, we put together a guide on How to Measure for Artificial Grass.

Yes, artificial grass can be installed on dirt and concrete but the installation process differs significantly. You can’t simply lay artificial grass on dirt and call it a day, the area will need to be prepared with a base layer of class II road base and crushed limestone that when compacted will help facilitate drainage. Installing artificial grass on concrete requires less preparation, but we recommend using a drainage membrane to facilitate drainage and prevent flooding.

Artificial turf maintenance is very easy, requiring little effort from you. If you have a natural grass lawn that takes up too much of your time, artificial grass might be the perfect solution. You won’t need to worry about mowing, edging, watering, fertilizing or anything else. 

You’ll have to clear solid debris (i.e. sticks, leaves, etc.) by hand or with a leaf blower as needed. Depending on how windy it is in your neighborhood, you should occasionally rinse your turf lawn with a hose to remove any dust or pollen that’s accumulated. 

If you have a dog, you’ll have to remove solid waste the same way you would for natural grass. Dog urine should be rinsed with a hose once a week to help prevent the buildup of odors and bacteria.

The summers here in Dallas, Texas are hot and muggy, with temperatures reaching up to 96°F. Our artificial grass products are built to withstand high-temperature summers and to look great year-round, rain or shine. You’ll have a beautiful, lush, natural-looking lawn while conserving water!

Artificial grass is made out of resilient compounds like polypropylene, polyethylene, and nylon. Manufacturers add other compounds to incorporate different features into their synthetic grass. For example, our turf products contain Microbe-Safe™ antimicrobial technology, which is an antimicrobial agent that’s infused with the turf backing during the manufacturing process. This is especially valuable on fake grass for dogs as it helps prevent the buildup of odors and bacteria from dog urine.

Artificial grass does not stay as cool as natural grass which has water running through it, but it does not absorb and radiate heat like pavement, rock, or brick. 

Even during Dallas’ summer heat, your lawn will remain pleasantly functional. On days that are extremely hot, a quick spray down with a hose will quickly cool it down. 

We recommend using T°Cool® Infill with your turf installation because it cools the artificial grass by 30° – 50°F through evaporative cooling. It is also antimicrobial and will work alongside the backing to prevent the buildup of bacteria and odors.
