How long will my turf last? Does it include a warranty?
It's not uncommon for a artificial lawn to go 20+ years before needing replacement. In the event that there is a manufacturers defect, there is a minimum of 8 years on all turf that we sell through our turf manufacturer. This includes discoloration and fading!
How long does it take to install?
Typically a day and a half work for most yards, we will always schedule with a time frame we know we can get job done in and we can move job forward whenever an opening becomes available prior to your original set install date if you wish.
Can synthetic turf actually raise my property value?
Definitely! A beautiful, luxurious, no-maintenance lawn is more desirable for potential buyers. Lower water bills, eliminating fertilizers and pesticides are all features a potential buyer is sure to love!
Is synthetic turf really better for the environment?
It sure is! In the state of California there are ongoing conservation efforts for water. It is difficult to bring water to the hotter regions of the country because of the heat. The San diego metropolitan area of California is a hot, arid climate, according to many sources is among the hottest populated areas of the United States. Temperatures reach well beyond 90 degrees on average over 89 days of the year. San Diego receives 85% of available sunlight and receives a very scant rainfall. An average just over an inch of rainfall in its wettest month (March) makes it a very difficult region to grow live grass without time consuming nurturing and an excessive amount of water. Artificial turf-grass does not require water, and in San Diego city the water district offers a rebate to consumers for participating in the efforts to conserve water.
Artificial turf-grass does have higher cost for installation compared to your standard variety of sod. Though typically the cost differences of artificial grass are returned to customer in the form of their monthly water bill costs, owning and operating a gas powered lawn-mower, pesticide and fertilizer applications. And even if the consumer chooses the natural grass route there is no guarantee on it's life span, even with the best maintenance that it will survive Southern California's heat, whereas our products and install are guaranteed and carry a warranty by the manufacturer for as long as 8 years on some products.
