Frequently Asked Questions

  • What is artificial turf made of?
    Artificial turf is made from durable synthetic fibers (typically polyethylene or polypropylene) designed to mimic natural grass. These fibers are attached to a strong backing and often infilled with sand, rubber, or organic materials to improve performance and longevity.
  • How long does artificial turf last?
    High-quality artificial turf lasts 10 to 15 years, depending on usage, weather conditions, and maintenance. Ultimate Turf products are UV-stabilized and fade-resistant, ensuring long-term durability.
  • Does artificial turf get hot in the sun?
    Yes, artificial turf can get warmer than natural grass, but our turf solutions include Ultimate Chill technology, reducing surface temperatures for a cooler and more comfortable experience. Additionally, using shade structures or watering the turf lightly can help keep it cool.
  • Is artificial turf safe for kids and pets?
    Absolutely! Our pet-friendly and kid-safe artificial turf is made from non-toxic materials and eliminates the need for pesticides, fertilizers, and harmful chemicals. Plus, our Microban® antimicrobial protection helps prevent bacteria and odors.
  • How does artificial turf handle pet waste?
    Ultimate Turf is designed with a superior drainage system that allows pet urine to drain through easily, while solid waste can be removed just like on natural grass. We recommend occasional rinsing and enzyme-based cleaners for odor control.
  • How much maintenance does artificial turf require?
    Artificial turf requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass. We recommend: ✅ Brushing & raking the fibers occasionally to maintain an upright look. ✅ Removing leaves & debris with a blower or broom. ✅ Rinsing with water to remove dust and pet residues. ✅ Brushing and rolling 2–3 times a year for putting greens.
  • Can weeds grow through artificial turf?
    Proper installation with a weed barrier significantly reduces weed growth. However, occasional surface weeds may appear along the edges—these can be easily removed by hand or with a mild weed killer.
  • Can artificial turf be installed over concrete or existing surfaces?
    Yes! Artificial turf can be installed over concrete, asphalt, and wood decking. For the best results, we recommend a shock-absorbing underlayment to improve drainage and comfort.
  • Is artificial turf environmentally friendly?
    Yes! Artificial turf conserves water (saving thousands of gallons per year) and eliminates the need for harmful pesticides & fertilizers. Our turf is also recyclable, making it an eco-conscious landscaping choice.
  • How much does artificial turf cost?
    Artificial turf pricing depends on turf type, project size, base preparation, and installation. Contact Ultimate Turf for a custom quote based on your specific needs.
