Artificial Grass

Turf Monster’s artificial turf grass offers many benefits to homeowners throughout North Phoenix. In a hot and dry desert climate like Phoenix’s, it is costly and time-consuming to maintain a natural lawn.

Is imitation lawn a good option for my yard?

By installing artificial turf, you will save money in the long run by eliminating the costs of expensive sprinkler systems and irrigation systems for your yard.

The high-quality products Turf Monsters use ensure that your lawn is more than just “fake grass.” The synthetic fibers are individually threaded into the sod carpet to realistically imitate the real thing. There are many other benefits provided by artificial turf.

One of the biggest benefits is the low maintenance required to keep your lawn looking its best. The faux grass does not need direct sunlight like traditional grass, so you can have a green lawn that works well in shaded areas. The synthetic material of the grass fibers is also highly resilient to wear, so your yard will not develop bare spots or ruts from heavy use.

The artificial fibers also do not create grass stains, so kids and pets can play in the backyard without getting mud and grass stains. Installing artificial turf on your front lawn will greatly enhance your home’s curb appeal and increase your home’s value too.

Backyard Putting Greens

Transform your North Phoenix yard into the envy of the neighborhood by installing a custom-built putting green in your yard. For the avid golfer, a backyard putting green is a convenient way to work on your short game that will also save you money from constant trips to the golf course and fees to use their practice greens.

Why choose Turf Monsters to install my backyard golf green?

Since Turf Monsters only uses the highest quality artificial grass carpet products, the synthetic fiber turf is extremely durable, low-maintenance, scuff-resistant, and looks feels, and acts just like the real thing.

This means you can confidently master the stroke, swing, and grip of your putting and chipping from the comfort and convenience of your own home. A backyard putting green will provide endless entertainment for friends and family as well as greatly increase the value of your property. Turf Monster’s custom-putting greens are easily maintained and long-lasting so you can be confident in your investment. Turf Monsters also offers the installation of indoor putting greens.

We work with you to create a unique, accessible indoor green for practicing your golf game so that any day of the week, rain or shine, you can enjoy a friendly competition with friends and family or work on lowering your handicap.

Landscape Lighting

Maximize the functionality of your North Phoenix property by extending living spaces out into your yard. Proper landscape lighting will ensure that your outside living spaces can be enjoyed long after the sun disappears over the horizon. There are many benefits to installing outdoor lights throughout your home’s landscaping project.

What are some benefits of new backyard lights?

A well-lit yard highlights and enhances your landscaping features which will greatly enhance your house’s curb appeal and are one of the easiest, most affordable strategies to impact property value. Landscape lights create a unique, unmatched atmosphere for your guests to enjoy or for you to relax and unwind from a long day. A properly lit yard can also improve the safety of your property by illuminating obstacles or other potentially dangerous objects that would otherwise go unnoticed. This means that the fun and games do not have to stop after dark. Landscape lights triggered by motion detection can also improve your property’s security by alerting you when movement is detected on your property.

There are many different options for light bulbs when it comes to highlighting your landscape, but here at Turf Monsters, we recommend using the highest quality lights available. The lights we install are solid brass and give your oasis the best quality look.

Pavers & Patios

Pavers and patios are one of the most popular landscaping projects North Phoenix homeowners use to create the yard of their dreams. The versatility of pavers means that the options are endless.

How can pavers enhance my outdoor living space?

From patios and pool decks in the backyard to walkways and driveways in the front, there are endless ways that you can increase your home’s curb appeal and improve your property’s value.

Using pavers in your landscaping offers advantages when compared to other traditional methods like pouring concrete. The segmented nature of a patio made from brick or stone pavers allows for individual movement which reduces damage from seasonal or seismic forces that would otherwise crack slabs of poured concrete. This increases your patio’s longevity. If any individual paver is damaged, only it needs to be replaced as opposed to a poured slab which would require the entire area to be redone. The upkeep and maintenance of patios, walkways, and driveways using pavers are also minimal, usually only requiring sweeping debris.

Choosing the right patio, pool area, or firepit is a unique experience for each homeowner. Turf Monsters can help design the perfect patio for you and your home. Turf Monsters carries a wide range of shapes, sizes, colors, and textures, so you do not have to compromise on your dream landscaping project.

Fire Pits & Grills

Create a unique outdoor living space at your North Phoenix home with custom-built fire pits and grills. A fire pit will transform your yard into a multi-season entertainment area that is the perfect way to entertain guests, spend time with family, or relax and unwind at the end of the day.

What sort of fire pits and grills do you install?

Turf Monsters has a wide variety of options, from traditional bowl pits to gas-powered firepits, so that you can be confident of finding the right match to fit your outside space.

A brand new fire pit can be added to almost any existing patio surface or existing space. For people looking to set their outdoor living space apart, Turf Monsters installs custom outdoor kitchens that are sure to take your next BBQ to the next level. An outdoor kitchen equipped with ample seating, counter space, a built-in grill, and an outdoor refrigerator will do more than improve your cooking.

Installing a high-quality, custom-built outdoor kitchen will define your outdoor space, improve the curb appeal, and increase the value of your home. Here at Turf Monsters, our custom fire pits and grills are built with 100% American-made products and are durable enough to last a lifetime while still retaining their exquisite look.

Custom Pergolas

Pergolas are one of the easiest and most popular ways for Central Arizona, namely North Phoenix, residents to extend their existing living space outdoors. Pergolas are easily adaptable to fit any yard or landscaping project. Often mistaken for arbors or gazebos, pergolas are common in gardens, parks, and yards to provide shelter from the sun. Pergolas are often built from affordable materials like wood and consist of a framework of vertical posts or pillars that typically support crossbeams and an open lattice ceiling.

How are pergolas used in residential landscaping?

Pergolas can be freestanding or connected to your house and are great additions to existing patios to shade family and friends from the sun. The variability of color, materials, and shape allows pergolas to fit any landscaping design. The latticework associated with pergolas also brings additional benefits for certain plants like climbing flowers, vines, and ivy. Plant these flowers and vines in the right place, and they’ll weave their way up the pergola’s supports and through the roof-like beams.

Here at Turf Monsters, we install, level, and string lines for perfection so you can be confident your project will last.

Desert Trees & Plants

Of course, no desert landscaping project in North Phoenix is complete without the inclusion of trees, shrubs, and plants. Vegetation offers many benefits to your landscaping project.

How can trees and plants enhance my property?

The right trees or plants can create a unique atmosphere on your property, improve your home’s curb appeal, and increase your property’s value. There are additional benefits to planting trees and plants in your yard that are often overlooked.

Trees provide shade for your property as well as block sound, wind, and dust. Planting trees and shrubs around your property increases your privacy and can help your yard save water. Even though plants need water, they can end up saving water in your landscape by slowing down water evaporation from the area underneath them. Plants on your property also help prevent erosion.

Turf Monsters work with plants that survive well in a desert climate and have the experience to expertly install an irrigation system to keep your plants and trees thriving.

About North Phoenix, Arizona

North Phoenix is a neighborhood in the city of Phoenix, Arizona. Phoenix is the capital city of Arizona and the fifth most populous city in the United States. The greater city of Phoenix is made up of 15 urban villages. North Phoenix is generally considered to include the Urban Villages of Paradise Valley, North Mountain, Deer Valley, Desert View, and North Gateway.

The Hohokam people occupied the Phoenix area for 2,000 before they abandoned the area around 1500 AD. The Hohokam are recognized for their large-scale irrigation networks. Their prehistoric canal system was the most complex in the Western Hemisphere and allowed for farmlands in the region. When colonial settlers came into the area, they noticed the remains of the ancient canals and reestablished an irrigation system to support settlers. The remains of these canals inspired Lord Darrell Duppa to suggest the name Phoenix as it describes a city rising from the ruins of a former civilization.

North Phoenix is home to the Camelback Mountain and the Phoenix Mountains, which feature Native American sacred sites visited for centuries before being abandoned. North Phoenix saw its most significant growth after the mid-20th century as many new suburban housing developments, shopping centers, and offices buildings were built.

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.
