New Faux Grass Installed in Big Yard

Artificial Grass

In Anthem, due to the Arizona sun, the upkeep of real grass is costly; both in time and money. Sod can be a pain to lay. Reseeding bare spots isn’t much fun. Then you have all the time and resources spent watering it to keep it from browning or dying altogether (which is no easy feat in our part of the country!). That’s why artificial turf is a much more sensible option for residents of Phoenix’s North Valley.

What’s the Benefit of Installing Artificial Grass?

Synthetic grass has many benefits, which include:

  • It’s Low-Maintenance Compared to regular lawns, turf requires very minimal maintenance. While it may need to be replaced (after 16+ years), it still pays for itself with all of the time you can spend enjoying your yard instead of caring for it, not to mention all the money you will save as well.
  • Enjoy Green Grass Year-Round Not only will you not have to worry about any bare spots from too much shade or puddling, you can also enjoy a bright, fresh-looking lawn even in the cold months!
  • It’s Safe for Children and Pets A lot of chemicals can go into the upkeep of a real lawn. These are obviously not needed for faux grass, making it a safer option for the more vulnerable members of your family. Plus, all of the products Turf Monsters uses are heat-resistant, so no worrying about burning feet or paws either! Our products are also soft and non-toxic. You’ll be amazed by how real they look & feel!

From play-friendly backyards to relaxing green oases, you can feel confident in your investment of synthetic turf.

Custom-Built Backyard Putting Green

Golf Putting & Chipping Greens

Golf is a popular past-time in the Phoenix area with nearly 200 courses in the metro area. It’s great to spend a game with friends on weekends, but it’s usually not feasible to visit regularly during the week. Membership costs can be high. And then there’s the extra drive time.

If you’re serious about golf, you know how important your short game can be. It can be hard to find the right place and time to work on it. But, it can really make or break your score. What’s an avid golfer to do? Why not utilize some of that wasted space in your backyard and convert it into your own putting or chipping green?

Why Install a Backyard Putting Green?

These greens provide the convenience to practice these shots whenever you have a free moment. Customization means you can mimic those tricky shots you always have trouble with to finally master them. Other than saving on fuel and membership costs, you’ll also save by using artificial grass as opposed to real. Again, turf is much easier and less expensive to care for than the real stuff.

Personal putting greens also provide a great way to unwind after a long, exhausting day. They’re a leisurely way to spend a nice Saturday outdoors with the family too. You’ll be the talk of the neighborhood and the envy of your friends!

Don’t have enough outdoor space or want to be able to putt year-round? Turf Monsters now offers indoor installations!

No matter the size of your yard, our professional installers are excited to work with you to create your perfect putting paradise at the convenience of home!

Backyard in Arizona with Lights Shining On Palm Trees

Landscape Lighting

Outdoor lighting can often be an overlooked aspect of landscaping. While simple, they’re both functional and add to the aesthetics of your outside design. The right lights can add flair and accentuate your favorite plants, home, and hardscapes, providing the perfect finishing touch to your outdoor setup. They are also a simple, cost-effective way to add curb appeal to your Anthem home.

Are Landscape Lights a Good Investment?

Landscape lights also provide added security and safety. Without them, you wouldn’t be able to enjoy outdoor entertainment and activities even after the sun goes down (Evening dips in the pool, anyone?). They are also worth the investment to keep prowlers at bay. Burglars are much less likely to strike a well-lit house. Landscape lighting helps keep you safe in more obvious ways too by illuminating your garage, walkway, and driveway at night.

Lights come in an array of different sizes, shapes, and styles. The choices are about as endless as the areas you can place them. With so many options, you are sure to find ones that will suit your style and mix well with your current outdoor design.

Backyard Patio Pavers with Fake Grass Surrounding

Pavers & Patios

You may not be immediately aware of what a paver is, but we’re sure you have encountered them plenty of times. That awesome pool deck your friends had installed last spring? Pavers. That new patio your neighbors in Anthem just completed? Pavers. That cool, meandering walkway you saw in a magazine? You guessed it: Pavers.

What are the Benefits of Installing New Pavers?

Needless to say, pavers are used for numerous outdoor hardscapes. From cost-effective concrete to naturally beautiful stone pieces, there are tons of options to choose from as far as materials go. Here are some other benefits you can look forward to when it comes to your own hardscape project using these versatile blocks:

  • Cut down on maintenance time and costs compared to wood.They hold up to the elements much better; meaning they will last longer. This alone makes them worth the investment.
  • Create custom designs to perfectly accentuate your home and personal tastes.Aside from a variety of materials to choose from, pavers come in lots of different shapes and designs, ensuring you get just the right look in whatever space you need them in.
  • Add value to your home.
    Patios and other hardscapes, such as pathways and poolsides, add a substantial amount to your home’s overall value. This can significantly raise your asking price if you ever decide to sell your house.
Custom Made Backyard Gas Firepit with Blue Rocks

Fire Pits & Grills

Nothing says summer in Anthem like grilling out and having a BBQ with friends and family. It can be a hassle getting everything set up, though. If you do a lot of cooking outdoors, it might make sense to install a custom grill. (It gets old moving the traditional one around all the time, doesn’t it?)

How Do Homeowners Benefit from Installing Custom-Built Grills & Fire Pits?

Outdoor kitchens and built-in grills make outdoor cooking a breeze. With the cooking surface and counter space already available, you’ll have everything you need (except the food, of course) without making twenty trips in and out of the house. You can even have drawers installed so you can stash all of your cooking and eating utensils out there too! Here are some other benefits of custom grills:

  • They help define spaces outdoors, similar to how rooms do indoors.
  • They’re perfect for those who entertain guests frequently.
  • Your home will be the new favorite hangout spot!
  • They are a sought-after commodity amongst home buyers.
  • Alfresco dining is a good excuse to get the whole family outside.
Dark Wood Pergola Over Patio in Backyard

Pergolas

In the Central Arizona city of Anthem, pergolas create much-needed shade for your outdoor space. However, with their open latticework, they still allow breezes through. You can see why these are so popular in Arizona backyards! They also offer plenty of other perks.

How Can a New Pergola Improve My Yard?

Pergolas can:

  • Extend your living space. They are the perfect threshold between indoor spaces and out. This helps to define your outdoor spaces too.
  • Protect your outdoor furniture from the weather.
  • Create a focal point for your yard.
  • Have retractable covers attached to provide some insulation in cooler months.
  • They help define spaces outdoors, similar to how rooms do indoors.

These outdoor frameworks come in two styles: Attached and detached. The first is usually the more economical of the two since fewer materials are required. They go great with patios and outdoor entertainment areas and kitchens. If your house is incompatible with an attached pergola, you still have the option of a detached one. They are also a good choice for highlighting an area, creating a quiet garden nook, or providing some shade near a pool. Detached ones also offer a lot more flexibility in their design.

A multitude of materials can be used in their creation, including various woods, teak, metal, and fiberglass. Alumawood is a newer option that is less costly, but doesn’t skimp on quality. It is superior to real wood in that it won’t crack, peel, burn, warp, or rot. It goes without saying that they require much less maintenance.

Central Arizona Front Yard with Desert Landscaping Plants

Trees & Plants

Living in the Anthem desert doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice beautiful landscaping. With drought-resistant plants and trees, you can still add some greenery (and shade!) to your yard. Xeriscaping is the name of the game in this Phoenix suburb.

How Do Metro Phoenix Residents Benefit from Desert Landscaping?

This landscaping principle combines native desert plants with decorative rocks and gravel to create lovely landscapes that blend well with the surrounding environment. Perhaps even better, they are low-maintenance! Turf Monsters’ experts can help you choose what plants work best for your yard and needs, whether it’s some small shrubs next to the garage or a perfectly executed mix of small plants, shrubs, and trees for your entire outdoor area.

We also provide irrigation services, whether you need work on your existing system or a completely new one installed. These go a long way in keeping your lawn care costs down and staying eco-friendly. Plus, they save you time!

Our professionals also provide maintenance and removal services of trees, shrubs, and plants. We want to help you keep your yard looking its best, spending more time enjoying it and less time maintaining it.

About Anthem, Arizona


Anthem, Arizona - Multi-colored Hot Air Baloon Over Lush Green Desert Hill

Anthem, AZ is a newer, master-planned community located on the far northern edge of Phoenix. This modestly sized town of around 30,000 is a quiet reprieve from the center of the city while still being close to its amenities. This is just one of the reasons many families call Anthem “home”.

This community is known for its amazing parks, with Anthem Community Park being a favorite. Kids can explore the multi-story playground, spend a day at the splash pad, or walk on the miles of hiking trails with friends and family. And when you’re feeling a bit run down from all the activity, take a break on a 10-minute miniature train ride around the park! More into a quiet day at the lake? Bring your pole to the Catch-and-Release fishing lake nearby.

There are plenty of other activities and events around town to keep the whole family busy too. Make a stop and pay your respects at the Veterans Memorial. Looking to stay fit or keep the kids active? Try out one of the classes at the community center. It boasts a pool that is even larger than an Olympic-sized one! Love puzzles? Try out the North Valley Escape Room. If you’re into cultural events, hit up the annual festival or monthly live music at the civic center. And, if that’s not enough to keep you entertained, there are a plethora of things to do and see outside of city limits nearby too, such as Cave Creek Regional Park, which is just a short 20-minute drive.

What can I do to make sure I’m hiring a qualified landscaper/hardscaper?

If you want to make sure the landscaper or hardscaper you want to hire in Phoenix has the qualifications needed to tackle your project, you have to verify that they are licensed, bonded, and insured in Arizona.

Check their reviews and ask for local references. Ask for a link to their social media profile(s) to view their past work. Use this opportunity to verify they specialize in designing outdoor spaces that are suited for the urban desert climate and have similar projects in their portfolio.

Always get a written contract, including cost estimate and timeline, to properly set expectations as it relates to the scope of the project.

What is artificial turf made of?

Synthetic grass is made from man-made fibers created to mimic the texture of natural grass, but is much more durable. Most high-quality turf is made from a combination of polyethylene or polypropylene fibers, which are soft to the touch and strong enough to maintain their color, shape, and handle wear from heavy foot traffic.

The fibers are tufted or sewn into a durable backing that gives the product a sturdy foundation, while allowing for drainage. This backing is installed onto an established base of compacted crushed stone or sand, which also aids in proper water drainage.

Combined, these layers make a resilient surface that requires low maintenance and stays clean-looking without the need for watering or mowing.

Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?

Yes. Here’s how:

  1. Artificial grass can be a safe surface for children and pets when made from non-toxic, lead-free products.
  2. The cushioned synthetic fibers help diminish the impact of falls and enhance safety by preventing scrapes and injuries.
  3. Synthetic grass presents fewer tripping hazards, especially compared to uneven natural grass lawns.

Turf Monsters installs artificial grass products that not only satisfy, but exceed safety standards. Our products include surface cooling technology and antimicrobial elements to make play areas more comfortable and sanitary.

How is imitation turf installed?

There are some essential steps to correctly apply synthetic turf that provide homeowners with a long-lasting, natural look. Here’s what the process generally looks like:

  1. First, the area needs to be cleared of grass, roots, and debris, and then leveled for an even surface.
  2. Next, a compacted base with crushed stone or sand is required, which allows drainage for long-term stability.
  3. In most cases, a weed barrier fabric is laid over the base, at which point the synthetic turf is unrolled, trimmed, and fastened with nails, staples or landscape spikes.
  4. The seams of the synthetic grass are tightly joined and infilled with sand or an organic product. 
  5. Finally, the turf is either brushed or rolled to straighten the fibers upward for a natural look and a more uniform and natural surface.

How is fake grass maintained?

Artificial grass requires little maintenance compared to natural grass. It doesn’t require mowing, watering, fertilizing or treatment with pesticides – giving you more of your weekend back.

A regular maintenance routine will, however, help keep your synthetic turf looking like new. Typically, maintaining fake grass in Arizona involves the following:

  • Using a leaf blower or soft rake to remove leaves, dirt, and debris (avoids matting of the turf fibers). 
  • Rinsing turf periodically washes away dust and rejuvenates the turf surface.
  • Brushing the fibers back open with a stiff broom or turf rake to keep your lawn looking upright and natural.
  • Turf Monsters suggests cleaning spills or stains on your faux grass with mild soap or a cleaning/disinfecting solution made specifically for artificial turf.

Maintenance is especially important in high-use or pet areas to keep your artificial turf looking vibrant, clean, and long-lasting for the seasons to come.

How long does faux grass last?

The life expectancy of artificial grass depends on its quality, how often it is used, how well it is cared for, and the climate where it’s installed.

Top-quality artificial grass, like from Turf Monsters, can last you 15 years or more with the proper aftercare. Regularly cleaning, brushing, and keeping debris off your artificial grass will keep it looking its best and sustain its performance.

Our grass’ synthetic fibers are resistant to UV rays, which avoids fading beneath the relentless summer sun far better than low-quality turf.

Good quality artificial grass has a durable backing material that maintains its structure and reduces drainage problems over time.

Areas of high foot traffic may wear faster, but quality and maintenance help prolong the lifespan of your synthetic turf.

By following your care and maintenance plan, you keep your artificial lawn looking good, safe, and functional for many years.

How hot does artificial lawn get in summer?

When exposed to direct sunlight, artificial grass can get hot, especially in the summer heat of Arizona. However, Turf Monsters’ artificial grass uses high-quality materials designed to stay cooler than standard turf products.

The new turf fibers reflect more sunlight and can reduce the temperature of the surface by up to 30 percent. Additionally, our light colored infill and advanced cooling technology help reduce the absorption of heat.

While it’s true that any type of surface will get hot in prolonged and extreme sun situations, Turf Monsters’ artificial grass is very comfortable for bare feet and pets to walk on after a quick rinse or light shade is applied.

We use specially engineered turf to be long lasting, comfortable, and naturally appealing even in the Phoenix’s hottest months.

Can I install synthetic lawn over dirt or concrete?

Absolutely, synthetic grass can be laid on both dirt and concrete with the proper preparation. If you’re installing on dirt, weeds need to be cleared and the surface has to be leveled before installing the crushed stone base.

Once the crushed stone or decomposed granite is compacted, a weed barrier needs to be laid down prior to adding the top layer – the turf itself.

If installed on concrete, holes can be drilled to allow for drainage. It’s common to lay a thin layer of sand or foam padding for cushioning.

In both types of installations, seams are joined securely, and the turf’s edges are secured to prevent shifting. As long as the turf is laid on solid ground, you can enjoy durable, level, and low maintenance grass for years of use!

Does imitation grass drain well after rain?

Yes, artificial grass is designed with drainage holes in its backing to allow water to pass through it. Furthermore, underneath the turf is an aggregate base made of crushed stone or sand, which allows water to drain down to the soil.

This two-layer system prevents puddles, while allowing runoff (when properly installed). The right surface grading is also needed to ensure that water is flowing away from structures and low spots. 

The efficiency of drainage depends on both the quality of the turf and the installation, since a poorly compacted base or clogged infill can slow the drainage process over time.

Will weeds grow through synthetic turf?

No. With professional imitation turf installation, weed growth is not an issue. A solid base and quality weed barrier fabric will prevent weeds from growing underneath.

Occasionally, small weeds can sprout in the infill or seams if organic debris builds up. These weeds can be a concern, but the best way to prevent them is simply to perform proper turf maintenance by brushing and cleaning to remove seeds, leaves or dirt from accumulating and creating a habitat for growth.

Trimming the edges of the turf and sealing the seams also minimizes weed growth. A natural weed killer, such as diluted vinegar can also help prevent minor weeds.

How do you clean pet waste from faux grass?

Removing pet waste from synthetic grass is straightforward and sanitary. Solid waste should still be picked up as soon as possible, similar to natural grass.

Use a hose as often as needed to rinse the area thoroughly to remove any waste residue, then use a mild soap or enzyme cleaner to eliminate odors and bacteria.

For urine, hosing the area every week (or more frequently if you have multiple dogs) helps prevent waste accumulation and eliminates odors brought out by the heat.

Our synthetic grass systems use infill products that improve drainage and prevent odor retention in the turf. Many pet owners simply sprinkle on baking soda or use turf deodorizer sprays on the area.

With regular rinsing and occasional more thorough cleanings, synthetic grass can stay clean and fresh, while still being pet-friendly the entire year.

Does imitation turf fade or discolor with age?

Top-quality artificial turf is UV stabilized, providing protection against fading through the addition of special ingredients within the fibers. A little fading may occur over the course of several years, but generally, the overall color tone remains the same as when you purchased it.

Lower quality turf, which does not have UV protection, is easy to spot as it fades under the sun much faster, especially in Central Arizona with our intense heat and sunlight.

Keep in mind that strong chemicals, like bleach, should not be used for cleaning stains on your fake grass due to the possibility of color fading. 

Dust accumulating on the turf surface can make artificial grass look dull, but a simple rinse brings back its bright green finish.
