  • Softness & Comfort

  • Durable & Heavy-Use Performance
    High-strength fibers and backs resist wear, matting, and fading so the surface stays vibrant and reliable.
  • All-Weather Playability
    Advanced drainage keeps water flowing away quickly so playgrounds recover fast after wet weather.
  • Easy Maintenance & Cleanliness
    Artificial turf stays clean and green with minimal maintenance — no mowing, watering, or bare patches.

How To Choose The Right Turf

Choosing the right playground turf means prioritizing safety, comfort, durability, and drainage. Consider how the space will be used, the age range of the kids who will play there, and whether impact protection is needed for falls. The best turf combines soft, resilient fibers with engineered drainage and optional safety underlayers to keep play areas safe and enjoyable. At US Turf, we guide you through turf selection so you get a surface that meets safety standards, looks great, and lasts for years with minimal upkeep.

Common questions, quick answers

Most high-quality landscape turf lasts about 15–25 years when it’s properly installed and cared for (traffic level, sun exposure, drainage, and grooming all matter). Many premium products are backed by long manufacturer warranties (often up to ~25 years), which is a good clue you’re in the right quality tier.

Synthetic turf requires very little maintenance compared to natural grass. Every turf product will have different care instructions depending on the material and type.

Artificial turf is made of plastic, so there are a few days out of the year where it will become hot. We suggest the T-Cool product we offer; an antimicrobial solution that works by absorbing the heat and keeping the turf fresh. All you have to do is spray the turf down with a hose and it will stay cool for up to 4 days!

Many people are worried about the different materials used when installing synthetic turf. Our turf is environmentally friendly and made with safety in mind. From playgrounds to pets, we trust the materials we choose.

The price of our turf installation varies depending on the size of area, the location, and the type you choose to buy. We try to keep our prices low without sacrificing quality. The best way to get an accurate price is to contact us directly for a free quote.

When it comes to installing synthetic grass for your project there are a number of factors that contribute to how long it will take.

  • Size of your artificial turf project: because we do not have minimum or maximum project sizes, the size of your project will play a role in determining how long your installation process will take
  • Scope of work: each artificial turf project is different, and this will definitely be a factor in your installation time frame.
  • Removal: Your installation will include removing whatever is on the ground now, and some landscaping can take longer to remove than others. For instance, if you just have dirt on the ground that won’t take too long, while removing concrete slabs will take a bit longer. If you’d like to have bushes and trees removed, we do that too!
  • Accessibility: While front and backyards are a popular installation for US Turf, so to are rooftops and unique areas that feature numerous levels and stairs and can contribute to additional installation days for your project.
  • Style of project: If you are considering a Custom Putting Green by US Turf or a uniquely shaped space, this can take extra time and preparation.

Consider all of these factors and give our team a call today so they can help determine how long your unique artificial turf project may take!
