Artificial Turf FAQ

Most installs run $12–$20 per square foot, with pet turf and putting greens higher. A typical full yard lands in the low-to-mid five figures. Pricing depends on turf grade, prep, access and features — every quote is free and specific to your yard.

Dramatically. Reno is high desert with hot, dry summers and depends on Sierra snowpack, so a natural lawn is thirsty and expensive. Turf needs zero irrigation, and many water providers offer turf-conversion rebates worth checking before you install.

Yes. Snow melts and drains straight through the perforated backing, leaving green turf underneath while natural lawns are brown and dormant. A properly compacted, well-drained base is what keeps it flat through the freeze-thaw for 15–20 years.

Quality turf is UV-stabilized specifically to resist fading, which matters at Reno's high elevation where the sun is intense. Cheap, non-UV-rated turf is what fades; professional-grade turf holds its color for many years.

Yes. Pet turf uses fast drainage and antimicrobial infill so it stays clean and odor-free, and quality turf is non-toxic and lead-free with no pesticides or fertilizer — safer than a chemically treated lawn for kids and dogs.

A professionally installed turf lawn typically lasts 15–20 years or more, usually with a manufacturer warranty. The base preparation is the difference between turf that stays flat and drains for two decades and turf that wrinkles or puddles early.

Most residential lawns take one to three days depending on size, demo and grading. Putting greens and larger or commercial projects can take longer. We handle everything from demo to final infill and cleanup.
