So if you’re ready for a picture-perfect yard without any of the hassles involved with maintaining one – we think that you’ll be very happy with Ideal Turf!

This is one of the questions we hear most often, and the most difficult to answer.

Think of artificial grass as an investment, not a cost! This investment will increase the value of your property and save you money for years to come. Best of all, unlike most expenses you put into your home, Ideal Turf’s artificial grass will pay for itself over a matter of a few years.

For example, if you spend $200 per month on landscaping and water costs, that equates to $2,400 a year. Over five years, your cost is $12,000. The average Ideal Turf lawn is less expensive than that!

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 artificial grass company in The Woodlands 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:

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.

A lot! A lawn is expensive to maintain and growing grass requires time, money, and effort. Artificial turf can help you economize on water consumption, time for mowing and trimming your lawn, and fertilization. Furthermore, the ongoing droughts that are forcing many municipalities to impose watering restrictions ensure that artificial turf will save you ever increasing costs now. Finally, it saves you one of the most valuable things you have – your time!

Absolutely it is! Our artificial grass products are loved by children and pets alike. Not only are our safe for yards, but also they have no traces of lead or other chemicals. Additionally, synthetic grass eliminates the harmful chemicals required to maintain a natural grass yard and eliminates the need to use gas-powered lawn care equipment. Finally, the artificial grass provides a soft surface that makes falls seem cushioned so your children and pets will be safer than ever, which is one of the reasons it is used to improve playground safety.

Artificial grass is made out of resilient compounds like nylon, polypropylene, and polyethylene. Manufacturers add other compounds to incorporate different features into their artificial grass. For example, our turf products contain “Microbe-Safe™” Technology, which is an antimicrobial agent that’s infused into the turf backing to help prevent the buildup of odors and microorganisms caused by dog urine, which is especially valuable on fake grass for dogs.

Nobody likes a lawn strewn with puddles or the mud that gets tracked through your house. This is why artificial grass is designed with a backing that facilitates drainage in one of two ways. The two most common types of turf drainage are “Hole-Punched” and “Permeable.” We recently introduced a proprietary hybrid backing that’s fully permeable and hole-punched. The fully permeable backing allows water and pet urine to pass through any point in the turf, while the holes allow particles from solid waste to make their way through the turf and into the sub-base below.

Yes to both. Artificial turf is meant to thrive on open grounds as it is designed with that function in mind. When installing artificial grass on dirt, several steps must be taken to prepare the ground. The dirt surface must be properly flattened and topped with a base layer of crushed limestone that’s compacted. With the versatility of artificial grass, it can be installed just about anywhere you can imagine. It actually requires less preparation to install artificial grass on concrete.

Artificial grass is extremely versatile and is commonly used at both residential and commercial properties throughout Plano, TX.

Pet Turf (Artificial Grass for Dogs) – People choose artificial turf for dogs and other pet applications because it doesn’t develop brown spots from dog urine, dogs can’t dig through it, and because its durability allows it to remain pristine, even with very active dogs.

Outdoor Living Areas – A lot of people choose artificial grass for its multiple uses for outdoor lifestyles. We regularly install fake grass on roofs, decks, balconies, and patios.

Yards (Lawn & Landscape) – Synthetic lawns add aesthetic beauty to any Plano property and allows you to avoid watering and maintenance costs. Switching to artificial turf in your yard can save up to 56,000 gallons of water per year!

Backyard Putting Greens – Many Plano residents get backyard putting greens installed. Maintaining a natural grass golf green is extremely time and labor-intensive. Alternatively, you can completely customize your artificial turf putting green design, from the shape of the green to the breaks, you can even adjust the ball speed. Artificial turf putting greens are great for either leisure golfers or serious golfers looking to improve their short game.

The actual longevity of your artificial grass will depend on foot traffic and upkeep. Artificial grass can typically last for many years [20+] depending on the frequency and type of maintenance it is given. 

Maintaining an artificial grass yard is a breeze. Occasionally using a leaf blower will keep it looking nice and tidy. It will also help get rid of leaves or any other debris that’s made it’s way onto your manufactured lawn. Rakes may be required to remove heavier objects; however, a leaf blower is an ideal tool for general upkeep. A stiff, natural bristle broom can be used to “fluff” the turf fibers in high-traffic areas. If you installed the artificial grass in a dog run or to create a dog-friendly backyard, you’ll have to pick up any solid waste and give the area a quick rinse once a week to flush it. 

The summers in The Woodlands, Texas are hot and muggy, with temperatures regularly climbing above 100°F. Our turf 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!

Fake 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. Artificial grass landscapes should remain functional, even during the summer heat in The Woodlands. On days that are extremely hot, a quick spray with a garden hose will cool the turf down. Another option to help keep your synthetic lawn’s temperature down is to use T°Cool® Infill with your artificial grass. This has become an extremely popular infill option because it cools the artificial grass by 30° – 50°F through evaporative cooling.
