What is turf installation?

Artificial turf gives you a lush, green lawn year-round without the watering, mowing, or seasonal brown patches that come with natural grass. We install turf over a properly prepared base that includes grading for drainage, compacted aggregate, and a weed barrier. The turf itself is UV-resistant, pet-friendly, and soft underfoot. We secure the edges cleanly against interlock borders, garden beds, or fencing, and infill with sand for a natural feel and added stability. Turf is a great fit for backyards, side yards, pet areas, and rooftop terraces, anywhere you want a clean, low-maintenance green surface. We handle everything from removing the existing lawn or soil to the final brushing and infill.

Our process

A clean finish starts with the steps you do not see. We build from the base up.

Step 1

Excavate + base

We remove material and create a stable, well-draining base.

Step 2

Grade + compact

We compact in lifts and fine-grade for a smooth finish.

Step 3

Install + detail

We seam, secure, and detail edges for a clean final look.

Pricing factors

Exact pricing depends on the project. These are the main drivers:

Total square footage

Access and disposal needs

Drainage requirements and base depth

Edge detailing and transitions to interlock/deck

Pet-use considerations (infill and cleanup)

FAQ

Common questions about turf installation.

+Does turf get hot in summer?
Artificial turf can get warm in direct sunlight during peak summer days, similar to how a deck or patio heats up. Shaded areas stay much cooler, and a quick rinse with the hose brings the temperature down fast. If your yard gets full sun, we can recommend lighter-coloured turf options that absorb less heat.
+Is turf safe for pets?
Yes, turf is a great option for pet owners. We use pet-friendly infill that helps control odour and makes cleanup easy. The drainage system underneath is designed to handle liquids so nothing pools on the surface. A regular rinse with the hose keeps things fresh and hygienic.
+How long does turf last?
With quality materials and proper installation, artificial turf typically lasts 15 to 20 years. The base prep is what really determines longevity, which is why we don't cut corners there. Basic maintenance like occasional brushing and rinsing will keep it looking good throughout its lifespan.
+Will it smell with pets?
Odour is manageable with the right setup. We install a drainage layer underneath that lets liquids pass through quickly so nothing sits on the surface. Pet-specific infill also helps neutralize odours. A routine rinse with the hose, especially in warmer months, keeps things smelling clean.
+Can you install on uneven yards?
Yes, that's actually very common. We start by removing existing material and regrading the area to create a smooth, properly sloped surface. The compacted base we build ensures the turf sits flat and drains correctly, even if the original yard was bumpy or uneven.
+Do you include edging?
Yes, edging is included in every installation. It's what keeps the turf pulled tight and prevents the edges from curling or lifting over time. We secure the turf against whatever borders your yard has, whether that's interlock, garden beds, fencing, or concrete. Clean edges make the whole install look intentional and professional.
