Artificial Turf Products, Inc. has seen considerable growth in the synthetic turf lawn market. The three most significant factors contributing to the synthetic lawn growth are kids, dogs and shade. Natural grass has a difficult time thriving with any of the three but when you have two or more the lawn can’t survive. Many families are resorting to synthetic lawns to replace the dusty or muddy area that used to be grass covered. Pet turf is becoming very popular and is a great alternative to natural grass...

Artificial Turf Products, Inc. has installed two synthetic grass putting greens in the past week. One was a new install and the other a replacement of a green that was just three years old. When I asked the homeowner why he wanted to replace a green that was just three years old he explained that it was done by landscapers and was never right from day one. Many landscapers will do synthetic turf work as a sideline and some may be very good at it, but synthetic turf is all we do. I was once asked by a potential client at the Southern Spring Show why he should choose Artificial Turf Products over a landscaper who had a nice display that included a small green...

As someome who has been involved with synthetic or artificial turf for the past 13 years I have seen considerable evolution in the quality and appearence of the products. I have installed all types of turf for a variety of applications. Today the term K9 turf appears to be in vogue. While different companies may market their product as K9 turf, there is often times no difference between K9 turf and other synthetic turf products. The thing to look at when you are buying turf for use where dogs are present is the face weight and length of the turf...

After receiving questions regarding the use of landscape turf where dogs are involved I felt it appropriate to provide some clairification. There are a variety of turf products specifically designed and marketed as K9 or pet turf. Those products are specifally designed with dogs in mind. In applications were numerous dogs are present or in dog kennels those types of turf are better suited for that application than are landscape turf products. However, if you are a pet owner who wants synthetic turf because shade, high traffic, soil composition or other factors make growing grass difficult it is not necessary to only look at K9 or pet turf products...

With synthetic turf gaining in popularity there are a lot of new turf suppliers and turf installers offering their products and services. As a consumer you should get several quotes before having any work done. In all probability the quotes will vary by as much as $5.00/ sq. ft. It is important that you do your research before selecting a product and an installer. Most turf products will come with a limited warranty. If the turf that you are considering does not come with a warranty ask “why not”? Selecting an installer is probably the most important part of the process...

I was recently contacted by a lady who had a landscaper install a putting green in her backyard.

Following the visit I called her back and explained that the material used for the base was the wrong product, the turf was not intended for outdoor use and the seam in the green was poorly done and that is why it was visible...
