Artificial Turf Options for Your Property
Residential Artificial Turf
Artificial turf can create an attractive, usable lawn for front yards, backyards, side yards, and other residential spaces. It’s a practical option for homeowners who want the appearance of grass without spending as much time watering, mowing, and maintaining a natural lawn.
Residential turf can also be incorporated into a larger landscaping project with decorative rock, gravel, pavers, flagstone, or other outdoor features.
Pet Turf
Artificial turf can provide dogs and other pets with a dedicated outdoor area without the mud, worn grass, and bare patches that can develop in heavily used natural lawns. Pet-friendly turf installations can be used for backyards, side yards, dog runs, and other frequently used areas.
Proper preparation and drainage are especially important in areas used regularly by pets, so the installation should be planned around how the space will be used.
Backyard Turf
Bare dirt, patchy grass, and difficult-to-maintain backyard areas can be transformed into comfortable outdoor spaces with artificial turf. Turf provides a defined green area that can complement patios, seating areas, pools, pavers, decorative rock, and other backyard landscaping.
It can be used for an entire backyard or installed only in specific areas where you want the appearance and feel of a lawn.
Commercial Artificial Turf
Artificial turf can also provide a low-maintenance green space for businesses, offices, commercial properties, and other high-visibility areas. It can reduce the routine lawn maintenance required by natural grass while maintaining a clean, finished appearance throughout the year.
Commercial turf can be incorporated into entrances, courtyards, common areas, and other outdoor spaces depending on the property.
Putting Greens
Create a dedicated space to practice your short game at home with a custom artificial turf putting green. Putting greens can be designed for backyards and other outdoor areas and incorporated alongside rock, pavers, and landscaping for a finished look that complements the rest of your property.
Our Artificial Turf Installation Process
Site Evaluation
We start by measuring the proposed turf area and evaluating the existing landscape and site conditions. We’ll consider the current surface, access to the project area, drainage, surrounding hardscaping, and how you plan to use the finished space.
Ground Preparation
Existing grass, weeds, soil, rock, or other materials are removed or prepared as needed. The installation area is then graded and prepared to create an appropriate foundation for the artificial turf.
Base & Turf Installation
A stable base is prepared and compacted before the turf is installed. The artificial grass is positioned, cut to fit the space, joined where necessary, and secured around the installation area.
Finishing & Final Walkthrough
Edges, seams, and other finishing details are completed to give the turf area a clean appearance. Once installation is finished, we’ll review the completed project with you and discuss any basic care or maintenance recommendations.
Artificial Turf for Albuquerque's Dry Climate
Keeping a traditional grass lawn green in Albuquerque can mean frequent watering and ongoing maintenance, particularly during hot, dry periods. Artificial turf provides another option for homeowners and businesses that want a usable green space without relying on regular lawn irrigation or mowing.
Turf also works well with the types of low-maintenance landscaping commonly found throughout Albuquerque. Combining artificial grass with decorative rock, gravel, pavers, flagstone, or xeriscape features can provide areas of greenery while maintaining a landscape suited to New Mexico’s dry conditions.
FAQ
How much does artificial turf installation cost in Albuquerque?
Artificial turf installation costs vary depending on the size of the area, existing site conditions, preparation required, turf selected, access to the property, and other project details. A small defined turf area will generally be a different project than replacing an entire backyard or lawn. Contact us for a free estimate based on your property and project.
How long does artificial turf last?
The lifespan of artificial turf depends on the product, quality of installation, amount of foot traffic, exposure to the elements, and how the area is maintained. Properly installed and maintained turf is designed to provide a long-lasting alternative to natural grass.
Does artificial turf get hot in Albuquerque?
Yes. Artificial turf can become hot when exposed to direct sunlight, particularly during Albuquerque’s hottest summer days. Shade, surrounding landscaping, turf selection, and occasionally cooling the surface with water can help make turf areas more comfortable during periods of intense heat.
Is artificial turf good for dogs?
Artificial turf can be a good option for dog owners because it doesn’t develop the same muddy areas, worn patches, and holes commonly found in heavily used natural lawns. Pet turf areas should be installed with appropriate drainage and still require routine cleaning, particularly where pets regularly use the bathroom.
Does artificial turf require maintenance?
Artificial turf requires considerably less routine lawn care than natural grass, but it isn’t completely maintenance-free. Occasional debris removal, brushing, rinsing, weed control around edges, and cleaning of pet areas can help keep the turf looking and performing its best.
Can artificial turf be combined with xeriscaping?
Yes. Artificial turf can be incorporated alongside decorative rock, gravel, drought-conscious planting areas, pavers, and other xeriscape features. This can be a good option for homeowners who want a low-maintenance landscape while retaining a defined green lawn area.
