Artificial Grass

Synthetic turf lawns make a lot of sense in Sun City and throughout the Sonoran Desert. The scorching summer heat can make it difficult to keep a beautiful lawn, causing real grass to brown or completely die, creating unsightly bare spots. Not to mention it takes a lot of water to keep it that lovely shade of green! That’s why more and more people in our region are turning to artificial grass.

What Are the Benefits of Switching to Fake Grass?

Making the switch has multiple benefits, including:

• Little to no maintenance —- What sounds better than no more mowing, watering, or fertilizing your yard? The most upkeep synthetic turf requires is occasional hosing and raking to remove debris and “fluff” heavily used areas.
• Saves you money — It pays for itself after a few years, but can last between 15 and 20. Plus, you can kick those sprinklers to the curb or put them to use elsewhere. Synthetic sod will save you a ton on your water bill.
• Safe for the whole family — Not only will you not have to worry about your pets and grandchildren being exposed to harmful pesticides and fertilizers, but most turf products contain anti-bacterial agents to lower the spread of germs.
• No more puddling/muddy spots — You can finally enjoy that lush, green lawn you’ve been dreaming of year-round.
• Stands up well to wear and tear — High traffic areas can become flat or bare. With faux grass, simply give these areas a rake.

Our artificial turf products are made with the best materials on the market, while still being at a cost-effective price point. Made in the USA, they are heat-resistant, non-toxic, and are so realistic that they look and feel like natural grass!

Golf Putting & Chipping Greens

It is no secret that residents of the greater Phoenix area love golf, Sun City in particular – residents literally drive golf cars to run errands. Perhaps this is one of the biggest reasons a growing number of homeowners are having personal putting greens installed in their own backyard.

How Will My Family & I Enjoy a Backyard Putting Green?

Love the game, but not sure if one is right for you? Consider some of the following benefits:

• Convenient — Practicing those short game shots can be difficult. Plus, why wait for tee times when you can head to your backyard whenever you want?
• Improve your short game — These shots can really make or break your score. By practicing at home, your golfing buddies will soon be jealous of your improvement.
• Save money — Gas is expensive. Club memberships are expensive. Save on both.
• Great stress reliever — Not much is easier than stepping outside for a quick chipping session when you need a half-hour to yourself.
• Fun for the whole family — Need something to keep the grandkids busy when they’re visiting? Want to spend some time outdoors with your significant other? Home greens are a unique way to bring people together.
• Increase your home’s value — If/when you ever decide to sell your home, you’ll see the addition of a putting green significantly increases the worth of your home.

One of the best things about these is that they are truly customizable. Turf Monsters can create the perfect one for you, whether it’s a replica of the difficult holes at your favorite course or something simple and fun. We can even include sand and water traps to make things extra interesting. Our turf materials can be tweaked to perform just like your favorite course too. Don’t get outside much in the summer? We can install one indoors so you can use it all year!

Pavers & Patios

Pavers are used for many hardscape projects and they’re a great way to boost the curb appeal of your Sun City home, where a lot of properties are older have have standard concrete driveways and patios.

How Versatile Are Modern Pavers?

To give you an idea of their versatility, they have tons of front and backyard uses, including:

• Driveways
• Walkways
• Patios
• Landscaping trim
• Pool decks
• And firepits

One thing that makes them so versatile is the variety of shapes and materials they come in. Choose from natural slabs or interlocking, geometric shapes, such as squares and hexagons. Common materials include brick, concrete, porcelain, and stone, such as flagstone, bluestone, travertine, and marble. With such a variety, you’re sure to find the color(s) you want. Some also come with imprinted patterns, making them extra unique and eye-catching.

Pavers are the way to go for patios too. Not only are they affordable, but they are also easy to take care of and durable to boot. If they do happen to crack, they’re much easier to replace than an entire slab of concrete. Last, you can get a lot more creative with their design for a one-of-a-kind outdoor space.

Fire Pits & Grills

As mentioned above, pavers are also commonly used for firepits. They’re a great, inexpensive solution to enjoying the outdoors more with friends and family. After all, if there’s one thing Sun City residents love, it’s sitting around a campfire roasting marshmallows or having a cold drink with neighbors?

How Will My Family & I Benefit From a Custom Grill or Fire Pit?

Portable pits can run just as much as permanent ones nowadays. Plus, it can be tedious hauling them around the backyard. With installed ones, you can get a lot more creative when it comes to design, regarding shape, size, and materials used. Plus, you can still choose from a traditional wood-burning one or a natural gas one if you don’t want to worry about firewood. The latter kind has become increasingly popular for elegant tabletop burners.

Has your house become the official get-together location? (Or maybe you would like it to be?) Custom outdoor kitchens and built-in grills are the perfect addition if you are a fan of BBQs and al fresco dining. With all of the options on the market now, you can make it as simple or extravagant as you want. For a full set-up, include cabinets with storage and counter space, a fridge, sink, and, of course, seating for all your friends and family. No more running in and out of the house for forgotten utensils, spices, cutlery, etc. Outdoor kitchens allow you to have everything right where you need it!

Pergolas

The versatility of pergolas allows them to be used in just about any Sun City yard, no matter the size. They can greatly vary in size. Freestanding ones can be placed just about anywhere. Attached ones are good thresholds between indoor and outdoor space, whether they’re right outside your back door, over your patio/outdoor gathering space, or even between a house and garage.

What Materials Are Pergolas Made With?

A pergola can be made out of a variety of materials, including:

• Teak
• Metal
• Fiberglass
• Wood
• Alumawood
• And vinyl.

Each has its pros, cons, and price points. But, Alumawood gives you the best value for your money, which is why Turf Monsters recommends it so highly. It combines the best qualities of wood and aluminum; it’s strong, but won’t peel, crack, splinter, etc like real wood does, especially in our harsh climate.

So, why choose a pergola? For starters, they’re cheaper and less intrusive than a gazebo. Instead of a solid floor and enclosed roof, they have a latticework roof that provides nice shade for pool decks, patios, and more while still allowing plenty of air to flow through. They also make lovely additions to garden areas, making a quiet sitting corner, especially with the addition of some colorful hanging or vining plants.

Trees & Plants

You can think of traditional landscaping services as “the cherry on top”: no Sun City yard would be complete without some greeny, grasses, and rock features to round it out. In fact, these are the main elements used in a popular landscape style in the desert: xeriscaping.

Why is Xeriscaping So Popular Nowadays?

Xeriscaping uses native plants, grasses, rocks, and boulders to create not just beautiful yards, but water-saving ones too. Our team’s knowledge of native plants, which are ones that naturally grow and are acclimated to our region, means you still get a gorgeous outdoor space without having to spend a fortune on watering it.

Of course, a little shade is nice too. Trees, such as evergreens and palms, can not only cool you off outdoors but your house as well. Hello, more money savings! We’re also skilled in tree trimming and removal when your shrubs get unruly or you’re ready to part with some old plants or unsafe trees.

Do you have a hard time remembering to water your greenery? Turf Monsters can install irrigation systems tailored to your needs. We can also repair old ones to make sure they’re in optimal condition. Irrigation systems save you time and money and keep you out of the hot summer sun of Arizona!

About Sun City, Arizona

Sun City, Arizona is known for being the original retirement city. Geared towards the active 55 years and older crowd, it still strives to be the best in providing a top-quality, leisure-loving community for those who have reached retirement age.

When Sun City was created in the 1960s, the idea of moving to a vacation destination, purchasing a lovely new home, and actually engaging with others while doing the activities you love was a novel idea. Plenty of people thought the idea would fail just because it was so unheard of at the time. But, the company ended up selling 2,000 homes just in the first year. Their original goal had been to sell 1,700 over the course of three years! Not surprisingly, the community gained national attention in newspapers after it was so well-received.

Sun City has grown leaps and bounds over the decades. They now boast

• 8 golf courses
• 8 rec centers
• 2 bowling alleys
• An amphitheater
• A dog park
• Viewpoint Lake
• And over 130 clubs (dancing, crafts, games, fitness, sports, and more)

You can also look forward to weekly outdoor concerts in the spring and fall at the amphitheater. And for winter, head indoors for a comedy show or live music at the Sundial Auditorium.

Retirement doesn’t have to be boring and Sun City, AZ proves that by offering opportunities to socialize, participate in your favorite activities (or learn a new one), and thoroughly enjoy your new free time.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What is artificial turf made of?

Artificial turf is typically made of synthetic fibers that are designed to resemble natural grass in appearance and feel. These fibers include polyethylene or polypropylene, which are durable and resistant to wear. The fibers are tufted or stitched into a backing material, which is then laid over a layer of crushed stone or sand to create a stable base.

Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?

Artificial grass is generally safe for children and pets. Because the synthetic fibers are soft and non-toxic, and the surface is generally flat and even, children are less likely to trip or fall. However, it is always a good idea to supervise children and pets when they are playing on any type of surface, and to make sure they are aware of any potential hazards.

How is imitation turf installed?

There are several steps involved in the installation of faux turf. First, the area where the turf will be installed must be prepared by removing any existing grass or vegetation and leveling the ground. Following that, a layer of crushed stone or sand is spread over the area to create a stable foundation. The artificial turf is then unrolled and cut to size, with the edges secured with nails or staples. Finally, the turf is brushed or rolled to ensure that the fibers are properly supported and that any wrinkles or creases are removed.

How is fake grass maintained?

Fake grass requires very little maintenance compared to natural grass. It does not need to be watered or mowed, and no pesticides or fertilizers are required. However, the surface should be kept clean and free of dirt, as leaves and other debris can cause the fibers to mat down and lose their natural appearance. Artificial turf should also be cleaned on a regular basis to remove dust and stains, and it may need to be brushed or rolled on occasion to keep the fibers standing up properly.

How long does faux grass last?

The lifespan of fake grass is determined by a variety of factors, including the product’s quality, the amount of use it receives, and the level of maintenance it receives. With proper care and maintenance, high-quality artificial turf can last for up to 15 years or more. However, it is critical to follow the manufacturer’s care and maintenance recommendations to ensure that the turf remains in good condition for as long as possible.
