Whether you’re just starting your research or already considering turf installation, it’s normal to have questions. At Kingswood Turf, we’ve worked with hundreds of homeowners and know exactly what concerns come up the most.

To help you feel confident in your decision, we’ve gathered and answered the top artificial turf FAQs below.

1. How long does artificial turf last?

High-quality turf installed by professionals typically lasts 15 to 20 years or more, depending on usage and care. Kingswood Turf installs durable turf systems built to handle heat, pets, foot traffic, and weather.

2. Does artificial turf get hot in the summer?

Yes, turf can warm up in direct sun—but not as much as concrete or pavers. We offer cooling infill options and design tips (like partial shading or rinsing) to help manage temperature.

3. Is turf safe for kids and pets?

Absolutely. Our turf is non-toxic, lead-free, and hypoallergenic—safe for babies, dogs, and everyone in between. It’s soft, clean, and eliminates mud and allergens from natural grass.

4. How do you clean artificial turf?

Maintenance is minimal. Most of the time, you’ll just:

• Hose it down to rinse dust or debris
• Brush high-traffic areas to keep blades upright
• Spot-clean pet areas with turf-safe solutions

✅ No mowing, fertilizing, or pesticide use required.

5. What about drainage? Does turf flood?

Not with Kingswood Turf. We install drainage-ready base layers and permeable turf backing, allowing water (or pet waste) to drain quickly. Proper grading ensures water flows away from your home.

6. Will turf kill the natural grass underneath?

Yes, and that’s the goal. We remove existing grass and prepare a compacted base to prevent any regrowth or weed intrusion. It keeps your turf even, clean, and low maintenance long-term.

7. Can turf be installed on any surface?

Turf is most commonly installed on dirt or soil, but with the right preparation, it can also go on:

• Concrete patios
• Rooftop decks
• Gravel or decomposed granite bases

Our team can assess your space and make the right call.

8. How much does artificial turf cost?

Pricing varies depending on size, prep needs, and turf type. On average, turf installation is an investment—but it pays off by eliminating lawn care costs, watering, and time spent on upkeep.

Kingswood Turf offers competitive pricing and free estimates to help you plan confidently.
