Artificial Grass

Tired of those ugly brown spots in your Tempe yard from the grass getting scorched? What about the tedious chores of mowing and watering your lawn? Those troubles can be a thing of the past with artificial turf. But what is it exactly?

How Does a Fake Lawn Stake Up to Real Grass?

In a nutshell, it’s synthetic fibers constructed to look and, perhaps more importantly, feel like real sod. Think of it as a carpet for your lawn. Now let’s take a look at why it is a wiser choice for the East Valley than traditional grass lawns.

• You get to enjoy a green yard year-round.
• They’re much lower maintenance. Throw those sprinklers away or save them for your other landscaping. You also alleviate the need to mow and fertilize. Turf simply needs a rinse and/or rake occasionally to remove natural debris.
• Save time and money. By eliminating all of that maintenance, you also get more free time. And, you lower your water bill and upkeep costs if you hired someone else to do it before.

Turf Monsters offers a variety of high-quality synthetic turf products. All of them are made here in the U.S. and are non-toxic, heat-resistant, and pet and kid-friendly. From big spaces to small, we can install it all.

Golf Putting & Chipping Greens

With the greater Phoenix area being one of the top golfing destinations in the country, it’s no wonder that “golf is life” for so many residents in Tempe.

Can I Really Improve My Golf Game With a Custom-Installed Putting Green?

While there are plenty of top-grade courses nearby, it can be hard to find the time to get there as much as you like. It can be especially hard to work on those short game shots and let’s face it: those are the hardest ones to perfect! If you find yourself in one of these conundrums, a backyard putting green may be your solution.

With the use of our top-quality, high-performing turf, we can create the perfect chipping space for you, whether that’s in your backyard or even inside your home. After all, why not be able to use your green year-round? No more worry about blistering heat or rainstorms!

Have a hole in mind from your favorite local course that always gives you trouble? Or just want to be able to practice working around a variety of obstacles? Turf Monsters can replicate these tricky shots and include a range of obstacles, including water and sand traps.

Landscape Lighting

Outdoor lighting can be a somewhat forgotten element of Tempe landscape design due to many homes being decades old and dated. But, you might be surprised by all of the benefits these cost-effective additions offer.

What Are the Benefits of Custom Lights in My Yard?

First, landscaping lights offer added security to your home. Prowlers are put off by well-lit homes, making them much less likely to target one.

Second, they add safety to your outdoor spaces, whether it’s your front walkway or backyard patio. They can help you see your way safely from the garage to the front door and avoid any obstacles. They also provide a safe atmosphere and nice ambiance to entertainment areas.

Finally, they can be purely ornamental. An accent light is a great way to highlight the favorite parts of your yard or home, such as some unique windows, a favorite tree, or a garden area.

Turf Monsters offers a large assortment of lighting, covering all of your illumination needs, including:

• Accent
• Garden
• Pati
• And security

Whatever style you choose, we’ll make sure your beautiful home and lawn shine day and night.

Pavers & Patios

Pavers are an incredibly diverse material used in many hardscape projects we complete in Tempe. It’s easy to see why because:

Are Pavers the Right Choice for My Home’s Landscape?

They come in many colors, shapes, and sizes. From geometric squares and hexagons to naturally occurring organic ones.

Paving stones come in a wide assortment of materials, including brick, porcelain, bluestone, concrete, and much more.

They are durable, long-lasting, and easy to maintain

Pavers work well for front and backyard projects, including:

• Pool decks
• Walkways
• Driveways
• Landscaping trim
• And patios

Patios work everywhere, even in small spaces. Made with pavers, they will last much longer, be less maintenance, and look nicer than plain concrete ones. They hold up to the extreme weather of central Arizona better too.

No matter what kind of hardscape project you would like completed, we’re confident Turf Monsters will have the variety of materials you expect to get the look and function that you want.

Fire Pits & Grills

Nothing says “homey and inviting” quite like a toasty fire. Whether you’re hanging out with friends or roasting some marshmallows with the kids, firepits are an inexpensive way to enjoy the Tempe weather outdoors and add value to your home.

Why are Fire Pits & Outdoor Kitchens So Popular?

These timeless hearths have come a long way in recent decades. You no longer have to settle for a simple metal ring or break your back moving a portable unit around. A firepit can be just about any shape you want and be fueled with wood or natural gas. This really opens your options up. For example, tabletop models have become all the rage and add a touch of sophistication.

Built-in grills and custom outdoor kitchens are no different. They make BBQs much easier and can be as simple or extravagant as you like. Have everything you need at your fingertips with the addition of counter and storage space, a sink, and a refrigerator. And, don’t forget the comfy seats and table too!

Turf Monsters has a wide variety of materials to choose from so you can get the perfect setup. You’ll be looking for reasons to cook outside more often!

Pergolas

Pergolas can sometimes be misunderstood. Are they just for decoration? Do they serve any functional purpose? Are they like a gazebo?

Pergolas are perfect for any Tempe backyard as they convert a normally hot space into a cool hand out spot.

Is a Pergola the Best Option for Covering an Outdoor Space?

Although they are sometimes confused with gazebos, they’re actually not too similar. While gazebos have a closed roof, a pergola does not. In fact, that’s one of its defining characteristics: the open latticework on top. Its ingenious design allows air to flow through while still providing shade.

It also differs because instead of having a solid base, it either rests on two or four pillars. (Two in the case of attached ones and four for free-standing ones.) Because fewer materials are used, they’re a lot less costly than a gazebo.

Speaking of materials, you have several options. Most are made with wood, vinyl, or aluminum, but can also come in fiberglass, steel, and teak. Each has its perks and price points, but Turf Monsters also recommends the relatively new Alumawood, which combines the best qualities of aluminum and wood.

Whether you’re looking for a shady poolside retreat or a quiet garden sitting area to enjoy your plants, Turf Monsters’ team has the expertise to build exactly what you’re looking for.

Trees & Plants

No Tempe outdoor space would be complete without some traditional landscaping. Although a lush, tropical rainforest look is probably out of the question in the desert, our natural landscape still offers plenty of eye-catching native plants to utilize in a landscape design.

Why Do So Many Tempe Homeowners Opt for Desert Landscaping Plants?

Because they are already acclimated to our climate, these plants actually save you money by not needing much water.

Speaking of which, Turf Monsters can also set up irrigation systems. It’s one less chore for you and your shade trees and shrubs will still get the watering they need. We’re also happy to fix any issues or replace existing systems that may not be functioning optimally anymore.

Is your greenery getting unruly? Have some old landscaping you’re not crazy about? We can get your trees and shrubs trimmed and looking their best in no time or remove old items and make way for new ones.

Cost Analysis of Artificial Turf vs Grass

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.
