Artificial turf is a system. Product choice matters, but long-term results also depend on site preparation, drainage, grading, seams, edging and infill. Every property is different, so use this guide to prepare better questions—not as a substitute for an on-site assessment.
Start with the way the space will be used
A dog run, putting green, pool surround and front lawn have different performance priorities. Traffic, pets, shade, reflected heat, existing irrigation and nearby trees all influence a sensible recommendation.
Look below the surface
The aggregate base creates stability and supports drainage. Grade should move water to an appropriate outlet, while secure perimeter details and careful seam placement keep the finish looking intentional.
