Artificial turf: common questions

Is it pet-friendly?

Yes. Quality turf installed over a proper base drains well, and solid waste lifts off easily. A periodic rinse keeps things clean and odour-free.

Does it get hot in the sun?

Like any surface in direct sun, turf warms up. It cools quickly in shade or with a quick rinse, and modern products are designed to manage heat better than older generations.

What about drainage?

Proper installation is everything. We build a compacted, free-draining base beneath the turf so water passes through rather than pooling — the same attention to the base we give every hardscape.

How long does it last?

With basic care, quality artificial turf holds up for many years. Lifespan depends on traffic, sun exposure, and the product chosen — we'll walk you through the options for your space.
