At Ideal Turf, we believe that informed customers make the best turf decisions. As experienced synthetic turf installers, we encourage our clients to ask important questions before choosing a turf product or installation partner. Here’s a helpful list of questions we recommend homeowners ask to ensure they get the best value, performance, and longevity from their artificial lawn installation:
- Is the turf environmentally responsible?
Yes—quality synthetic turf drastically reduces water usage and eliminates the need for harmful lawn chemicals. - Can turf be installed over concrete, decks, or patios?
Absolutely. We install turf on a variety of surfaces, and we evaluate each location to ensure proper drainage and long-term performance. - Where is the turf manufactured?
This matters. At Ideal Turf, we prioritize U.S.-made products due to their consistency, safety standards, and superior durability. - Who is the turf manufacturer?
We only work with trusted turf manufacturers who back their products with reliable warranties and long-term support. - What kind of warranty comes with the turf?
Turf warranties vary—ask for clarity on what’s covered. At Ideal Turf, we offer warranties that cover UV stability, fading, and premature wear. - Who handles warranty claims—the installer or manufacturer?
We help facilitate any necessary warranty claims and stand by our work as both an installer and advocate for our customers. - Is the turf pet-friendly?
Yes! We specialize in pet turf solutions that are odor-resistant, antimicrobial, and durable. - Is it safe for kids?
Absolutely. Our turf products are lead-free, soft underfoot, and great for play areas. - How well does the turf drain?
Drainage is key. Our turf systems drain efficiently—up to 900 inches per hour when combined with the right base prep. - Are financing options available?
Yes, we can connect you with flexible financing to make your turf project more accessible. - What kind of maintenance is required?
Turf is low-maintenance, but not no-maintenance. We recommend occasional rinsing and brushing to keep it looking its best. - How hot does the turf get in the sun?
We offer cooling infill options that significantly reduce surface temperatures—especially important in sunny climates. - What type of infill do you recommend?
It depends on your use case. We often recommend antimicrobial, cooling infills for pet and family yards. - What does your installation warranty include?
Our installation warranty covers workmanship, seam separation, and base settlement—separate from the product warranty. - How long has your company been in business?
Ideal Turf has been installing synthetic turf for over a decade. Experience matters. - Can turf boost my property value?
Yes, especially in water-restricted areas or for low-maintenance rental properties. - What turf type is best for my home?
We’ll recommend turf based on climate, use (pets, play, aesthetics), and your budget. - Do your products have antimicrobial protection?
Many of our turf options include antimicrobial additives, helping prevent odor and bacteria buildup. - How much water will turf save me?
Thousands of gallons per year, depending on your current lawn size and watering habits. - Can I see turf samples first?
Of course! We provide samples so you can compare texture, color, and density before deciding. - How long does installation take?
Most residential installs take 1–3 days, depending on project size and access. - Will my landscaping be disrupted?
We work carefully to preserve existing features and leave your space cleaner than we found it. - What’s the best way to clean and maintain turf?
We’ll walk you through it—regular brushing, debris removal, and rinsing when needed. - Can you install turf on slopes or uneven terrain?
Yes, with the proper base prep and anchoring, we install on all types of terrain. - Does the turf have UV protection?
Yes—our turf is built with UV stabilizers to resist fading in harsh sun. - Can I install the turf myself?
DIY is possible, but for optimal performance and warranty coverage, we recommend professional installation. - Are there any rebates or water-saving incentives?
In some areas, yes. We’re happy to help you research and apply for any applicable turf rebates. - Does turf attract bugs or rodents?
Turf doesn’t provide food or habitat for pests, making it naturally pest-resistant. - Can turf be installed around trees and plants?
Yes. We custom cut around existing trees and features to keep your landscape cohesive. - How does it perform in extreme weather?
Our turf holds up in heat, rain, and snow with proper drainage and installation. After a storm or freeze, it bounces back quickly.
