Why go with synthetic turf for your lawn?

Synthetic turf, done right, can give you back your beautiful lawn without the hassle. No watering, no mowing, no fading, no edging, no fertilizing, no chemicals, no pet damage, no pests, no allergies and no muddy paw prints…and a lower overall cost too!

What is HomeTurf exactly?

HomeTurf is a blend of polyethylene and nylon thatch and silica coated sand or rubber granules that will give years of grass-like appearance and use, without the regular maintenance of natural grass. The installation process includes a layer of decomposed granite, our patented polyethylene and lead free nylon thatch blades and our rubber granule infill system. This simple installation will provide the safest, most effective surface. It is resistant to temperature extremes, drains quickly (better than real grass) and is extremely low-maintenance!

There are several companies selling synthetic turf. Why should I choose HomeTurf?

This is our favorite question! Simply put, HomeTurf is the best product on the market and is the closest alternative to natural grass. A superior product, coupled with professional service, makes HomeTurf the ONLY synthetic turf choice for your home or business.

There are various newcomers in the synthetic lawn market. Not one offers the level of quality and service that HomeTurf provides. If you are considering a lesser product, please be certain that you are dealing with a reputable firm that has trained installers, a California Contractors License and is insured and bonded. Avoid the pain of a lawn that does not last, and does not live up to claims of good drainage. As with everything else in life, you get what you pay for!

How much does it cost?

HomeTurf is not cheap…the best never is! Think of it as an asset and an investment that can increase the value of your property. Best of all, unlike most expenses you put into your home, HomeTurf will pay for itself over a matter of a few years! For instance, say you spend $200 per month on landscaping and water costs, that equates to $2,400 a year. Over five years, your cost is $12,000. The average HomeTurf lawn can be installed for much less than this!.

What kind of maintenance does it require?

Don’t let turf companies lie to you. This product requires maintenance, but not the level where is intrusive to your lifestyle. More a matter of keeping clean than maintaining…remove organic materials from the surface, typically by using a leaf blower. Rakes may be required for removing heavier objects; however, the leaf blower is the ideal tool for general upkeep. We have partnered with a company named SynPro who offers a service at whatever intervals you wish to come out and remove weeds, clean, decompact, sweep and disinfect the product for you. We realize that the more you take care of the investment the longer and more beautiful it will look.

Parents love the fact that there are no more stained pants and scraped knees! In fact, HomeTurf is preferred at many daycare centers. Many of them are right here in Southern California. Learn More.

Will the rubber or Durafill harm my children or pets?

Our infill is non-toxic and will in no way harm either children or pets if swallowed. We could not have installed HomeTurf in the day care centers and pet facilities, if there was any concern about toxicity. There has been a recent scare about lead in “nylon” turf, however this appears to have been sensationalized and without much merit. Learn More

How well does it drain?

This concern comes up often but thankfully we don’t live in an area where high levels of rain or flooding is a problem. We know that it drains better than real grass! HomeTurf has drilled holes in the backing that provide a rate of drainage exceeding expectations. Couple this with the appropriate base and it’s a wonderful drainage system for your lawn. Other companies tout the fact that drilled holes are inferior, however the contrary is true, coffee filter backings allow weeds to grow through it a lot easier, requiring much more maintenance.

How long does it last?

Quite frankly…we don’t know. HomeTurf’s manufacturer expects that the turf will have a 20-25 year life. The oldest installation is located in Scottsdale, AZ, and has been there for over 15 years. It still looks good and hasn’t faded! Just think — if the brutal Arizona sun hasn’t faded or discolored our turf, it should look great in our wonderful Southern California Climate.

Will weeds grow through it?

Weeds cannot grow through the tough turf backing. On rare occasions, you may see some popping up along a border. No worries…simply shoot some Round-Up™ on them and they are history! Be careful if you own pets and what product you use to abate the weeds.

Why doesn’t it fade?

HomeTurf has a built-in UV protection solution that will allow it to hold its color even under the most dramatic conditions. Independent studies show that HomeTurf’s product line will fade at a rate of less than 1% per year. This means that after ten years in direct sunlight, any color change will still be imperceptible to the human eye.

Can it stain?

We haven’t come across anything that can stain it yet. Sticky spills should be hosed off to prevent them from attracting dirt and bugs. Even paint can be softened with paint remover and then rinsed off.

How does it affect my property value?

Done correctly, 100% to 200% of any investment in quality landscaping will go directly toward the value of your home, according to GE Finance. This does not include the curb appeal which is immeasurable.

Several of our customers have sold their homes and reported that their HomeTurf lawns added a tremendous amount of value. This is also true with other eco friendly products such as solar panels. Potential buyers were very excited about the prospect of purchasing a home with a beautiful lawn all year round.

Is it important to work with a company that has a California Contractor’s license?

When you contract to have work done in your home, remember that to do any project that totals over $500, a company must have a valid Contractor’s License. They are required to include this number on any materials they use to market their work, on their contracts, etc.

By using a licensed contractor, you are assured that the contractor has adequate knowledge and experience to do your job right, and that they are covered by the necessary bonding, insurance and workers comp to protect you, the homeowner. Without a license, you become liable.
