The Top Artificial Turf Installer in San Antonio, TX!

The advantages of artificial grass for San Antonio-area homeowners are numerous. It usually depends on why you choose to install a synthetic lawn in the first place. For example, dog owners see the elimination of brown dog urine spots as a major benefit. Others view the extra free time they have as the greatest benefit. No longer having to spend hours each week maintaining a natural grass lawn means more time with friends and family. Others view the thousands of gallons of water they no longer waste on their lawns as the biggest benefit.

The final price of artificial turf depends largely on the size of the installation, type of turf being installed, amount of prep work required, etc. On average, for a 1,000 square foot installation, you can expect to pay around $6.00 – $12.00 per square foot. If you know the size of your lawn and would like to know what it might cost, you can use our Artificial Grass Cost Calculator.

Our custom installed artificial grass solutions cannot realistically be quoted by the square foot. Each lawn is different and Ideal Turf prices each project individually based on turf type, required ground preparation, size of the installation, and a number of other factors.

Any artificial grass company that randomly provides a square footage price over the phone or on the Internet is simply selling outdoor carpet, and not selling the same custom installed artificial grass solutions that Ideal Turf is well known for. Simply receiving a square footage price without a site visit is not a realistic or credible estimate of the true cost.

That is why Ideal Turf is happy to offer a FREE Design Consultation to provide exact pricing for your commercial or residential turf project.

Yes. Artificial turf is meant to thrive on open grounds as it is designed with that function in mind. Before 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. This creates a level foundation to install the turf and is permeable, allowing water & pet urine to drain.

Installing artificial grass on concrete is actually easier than other surfaces as it doesn’t require much preparation.

Common Artificial Grass Applications:

Pet Turf (Artificial Grass for Dogs) – People choose artificial turf for dogs and other pet uses because artificial turf doesn’t create urine stains, dogs don’t dig through it, and because artificial turf’s durability allows it to remain pristine, even with very active dogs.

Outdoor Living Areas – Another reason that people choose artificial turf is for its multiple uses for outdoor lifestyles. Some people have installed artificial turf roofs, decks & patios.

Yards (Lawn & Landscape) – A lot of people want artificial grass for their front or backyards. A synthetic lawn adds aesthetic beauty to any property and allows a customer to avoid watering and maintenance costs. When someone switches to artificial turf in their yard, they can save up to 56,000 gallons of water per year, which saves a lot of money.

Backyard Putting Greens – Many San Antonio residents get backyard putting greens installed. In order to maintain a natural putting green, there are many expenses. With an artificial turf putting green, you can completely customize it, from the shape of the green to the breaks, and 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.

Our turf products have a 20 – 25 year life expectancy. Our 20-year warranty guarantees that it won’t fade or fall apart and that it will look great for years to come!

More a matter of keeping clean than maintaining… Remove organic materials from the surface, typically by using a leaf blower. Rakes may be required for removing heavier objects; however, the leaf blower is the ideal tool for general upkeep. A stiff, natural bristle broom can be used to “fluff” high traffic areas.

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

The 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. That said, summers in San Antonio are hot, and any surface exposed to the sun long enough will heat up. To help keep your turf cool we offer T°-Cool® Infill. It works by trapping moisture and slowly releases it through the process of evaporative cooling. This can lower the temperature of your turf by 30° F- 50°F.

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 “Perforated or Hole-Punch” and “Non-Perforated or 100% Permeable.” We recently developed a DUAL FLOW backing that’s 100% permeable and perforated to allow for maximum drainage. This industry-leading backing drains water at over 2,000 in/hr.
