Is artificial turf safe for my children?
Kids love it! An artificial lawn is absolutely safe for children. Some synthetic products are softer than natural grass, so falling during play doesn’t leave injuries or stain clothing. It produces no pollen, so kids will likely see a reduction in allergies. The infill used is anti-microbial, so it lessens the chances of bacteria spreading to children and pets.
Why Choose Artificial Turf for Your Lawn?
Synthetic Grass, installed correctly, can provide you with a beautiful lawn without the hassle and expense of trying to maintain a problem-plagued natural lawn in the changing Texas climate. You eliminate watering, mowing, fertilizing and adding chemicals/pesticides, re-seeding, allergies and muddy paw prints!
Is Artificial Grass dog-friendly?
Over 80% of our customers are dog owners. This turf is incredibly dog-friendly and is used by many Humane Societies and professional pet boarders/groomers in dog runs. It doesn’t stain and urine drains through it and droppings can be picked up as they would be with regular grass and/or rinsed off with a hose. Best of all, dogs can’t dig through an artificial lawn!
How long does the turf last?
Most of the turf products Texans Turf Uses are designed to last 8-10 years in a sports field application with constant use. Realistically, you should expect our products to last a period of 20+ years in your yard with regular preventive maintenance. You may need to brush it occasionally with a broom or a gentle, plastic rake to keep it looking pristine or we can maintain the turf for you. See the Maintenance Section…

How hot does an artificial lawn get in the Texas heat?
An artificial lawn can get hot in the summer, depending on the infill used. The grass does not stay as cool as natural grass which has water running through it, but it will not absorb or radiate heat like pavement, rock or brick. It can be cooled down with sprinklers if needed.
