FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Why is it important to work with a licensed landscaping company?

By working with a licensed landscaping contractor, like Turf Monsters serving Central Arizona, you can rest easily knowing you are protected in your investment. Your project will be completed according to the laws and municipal regulations.

A licensed professional means you’re working with an experienced, accountable contractor who is insured, reducing the risk of property damage or unsatisfactory work. With Arizona’s desert climate, you also have the assurance that your outdoor space will be built to withstand the seasonal, occasionally extreme, weather patterns. 

What other landscaping services are offered at Turf Monsters?

Turf Monsters also designs and builds custom putting greens, patios with pavers, and pergolas to provide purpose and beauty to your outdoor space. We install fire pits, built-in grills, landscape lighting, plus trees and plants too.

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.
