Q: What is artificial turf?
Nowadays, artificial turf is a grass-like surfacing material, generally used in zones where grass doesn’t easily grow or when you need to lower your lawn maintenance costs. Artificial turf is an evergreen landscape cover which more and more lawn owners desire.
Q: How is artificial turf made?
Most artificial turf systems include a drainage layer, a multi-layered backing system, and flexible “grass blades” that are similar to the natural turf while providing the necessary stability, uniformity, and resilience.
Q: Is there any difference between the new generation of artificial turf and that of the past?
Yes. After 1990, the first artificial turf systems were introduced with sand and rubber infill. Comparing it with the 1960’s systems, these were highly improving player safety and performance. Today’s systems combine the playing characteristics that resemble natural turf, with the advantages of increased frequency of usage, extra revenue generation, safety, and lowest cost per maintenance.
Q: Does artificial turf have an impact on the environment?
Yes. Artificial turf has a significant, positive impact on the environment.
A Million gallons of water are saved each year by using artificial turf systems. An increased number of local governments offer tax credits and rebates to residential and corporate users. Moreover, the need for millions of pounds of harmful pesticides and fertilizer is eliminated. Therefore, artificial turf systems have significant health and positive environmental implications.
Q: Is artificial turf safe?
Yes. Many independent and credible studies from groups and statewide governmental agencies have validated the safety of artificial turf. Check our other answers for specific details.

Q: Does heat have any impact on the artificial turf field?
Some synthetic turf fields have reported superior surface temperatures compared to the temperature of the natural grass on hot sunny days. The solution is to cool the artificial turf rapidly with water if you insist on enjoying walking on it barefooted to a maximum level.
Q: Does artificial turf drain?

Q: Will the infill harm my kids?
Not at all. The infill is non-toxic and antimicrobial even if swallowed by chance. Moreover, it prevents bacteria and germs from incubating in your turf.
Q: What happens if my children ingest crumb rubber?
Of course, our advice is to avoid ingesting crumb rubber. But, if this accidentally happens you don’t have any reason to worry. Studies show that ingesting and swallowing crumb rubber is not a serious health risk.
Q: Is Artificial Turf safe for our pets?
Absolutely! Moreover, the vast majority of artificial turf clients are pet owners. Not only will your dog enjoy your lawn, but artificial turf is the best solution to the problem of pet urine affecting grass. We recommend using non-toxic, pet-friendly and biodegradable cleaning products to soften the odors. The good news is that…now you can have a pet AND a lawn!
Q: What if our pet destroys the turf?
No way. Artificial turf is an alternative to pet runs on concrete or rock. The infill system absorbs and neutralizes any pet urine. Therefore, this is not a problem either. Other messes are cleaned up the same as natural grass. If you wonder what happens if your pet digs through the turf, we have good news: dogs rarely, almost never, do it. When in exceptional cases dogs do it, you can quickly repair the damaged turf.
Q: How do you clean up after the dog?
After picking up the solids, hose it down. Also, where your pet usually urinates, hose down the artificial turf at least once a week. You can also use white vinegar, diluted 4:1 with water and spray the concerned area. If you properly maintain your artificial turf, no smell will affect it.
