| SP TURF FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS |
Why choose synthetic turf for my lawn?
Synthetic turf, done right, can give you back your beautiful lawn without costly maintenance and the hassle of landscaping upkeep. 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 it’s eco-friendly, helping you save on water.

What is SP Turf, exactly?
SP Turf is a blend of polyethylene monofiliment and nylon thatch, and acrylic coated anti-microbial silica sand for the infill. SP Turf will provide years of grass-like appearance and use, without the regular maintenance of natural grass. The installation process includes a layer of compacted road base (just like our pavers), our polyethylene monofiliment and nylon thatch blades and our silica sand infill system. And, because the installation process is virtually identical to the paver installation system, your turf and pavers can be installed in the same job!

What makes SP Turf different than other synthetic turfs?
Unlike many other synthetic turf products, SP Turf offers the highest quality and safest product on the market. Not only is our turf lead free, but our infill system is made of the highest quality, anti-microbial silica sand that prevents bacteria and germs from incubating in your lawn. Other turf products use a combination of rubber and sand infill that can harbor dangerous bacteria. Additionally, we offer one of the best warranties in the industry.

There are several companies selling synthetic turf. Why should I choose SP Turf?
SP Turf is one of the best and safest turf products on the market and offers an 8 year warranty. We ensure that you get the same quality of product and service with our turf as you do with our pavers. We’re also one of the few turf companies that can offer you a complete outdoor living system of both hardscape products and turf, so you can use System Pavers as your one-stop shop!

Is it dog friendly?
Put it this way…now you can have a dog AND a lawn!
Liquids drain right through, droppings can be picked up as they would be with regular grass and/or washed off with a hose, and dogs can't dig through it. And those muddy dog paw prints on your patio and carpeting will be a thing of the past!

What is the square footage price of SP Turf?
Our custom installed product cannot realistically be quoted by the square foot. Each lawn is different and SP Turf prices each project individually based on turf type, required ground preparation, size, and numerous other factors.
Any turf company that randomly provides a square footage price over the phone or on the Internet is simply selling outdoor carpet, and not selling custom installed projects that fit the exact needs of you and your family. In addition, other turf companies frequently charge for the entire amount of turf that will be brought to the job site, including waste, whereas SP Turf only charges for the actual square footage to be installed. Simply receiving a square footage price without a site visit is not a realistic or credible estimate of the true cost.
That is why SP Turf is happy to offer a FREE Design Consultation to provide exact pricing for your landscaping project.

What about my kids playing on SP Turf?
Kids love it! SP Turf is softer and safer than real grass and they have loads of fun playing on it. Parents love the fact that there are no more stained pants, scraped knees or grass allergies. And, because our infill is made of anti-microbial acrylic coated sand and not ground rubber, like other turf products, it is more resistant to heat absorption than our competitor’s turf.

How well does it drain?
Better than real grass! Our lawns have specially designed drainage holes place consistently throughout the turf to ensure water sheds quickly and efficiently and does not pool on the surface.
top of page
How long does it last?
Since turf of this quality is an emerging technology, we frankly do not know that. SP Turf is expected to have a 20-30 year life expectancy. Our 8 year warranty guarantees that it won't fade or fall apart, and that it will look great for years to come!

Is it important to work with a company that has a California Contractor's license?
When you contract to have work performed 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 they are covered by the necessary bonding, insurance and worker's compensation to protect you, the homeowner. Without a license, you become liable.
SP Turf is licensed and bonded. Our California Contractor’s License number is 661575. You can check on a Contractor's license status at www.cslb.ca.gov.

What about Gophers? Rabbits? Bugs?
Say goodbye to pesky critters! SP Turf will eliminate any troubles you have with rabbits and gophers. Rabbits will no longer ruin your lawn by eating your grass and gophers cannot come up through the turf! Your new lawn will be safer because you will no longer have a need for pesticides. Bugs and insects are history!

Why doesn't it fade?
SP Turf has a built-in UV protection solution that will allow it to hold its color even under the most dramatic conditions.
top of page
What kind of maintenance does it require?
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. A stiff, natural bristle broom can be used to "fluff" high traffic areas.

Does SP Turf offer financing?
SP Turf offers a variety of financing options to fit your budget including a deferred payment plan!
top of page
What about the warranty?
SP Turf offers an 8 year warranty from the date of completed installation against defects in materials, including ultra-violet degredation and excessive fading.
top of page
Does it mildew?
Due to its extremely porous design, mold and mildew are never a problem.
top of page
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 spray some Round-Up™ on them and they are history!
top of page
How long does it take to install?
An average landscaping area might take two to three days. Each installation is customized, so it is sometimes hard to determine this without a site visit.
top of page
How much does it cost?
SP Turf is not cheap…the best never is! Think of it as an asset and an investment that will increase the value of your property. Best of all, unlike most expenses you put into your home, SP Turf will pay for itself over a matter of a few years. For instance, if 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 SP Turf lawn is less expensive than that in the long run!

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.
top of page
Will the sand infill harm my children or pets?
Our infill is non-toxic and anti-microbial and will in no way harm either children or pets if swallowed. Our infill is one of the only products that will prevent bacteria and germs from incubating in your turf.
top of page
Will the turf catch fire?
Not a chance…the turf is fire-retardant and anti-flammable. It’s the ideal landscaping choice for any homeowner living in a drought area that could be susceptible to brush fire activity.
