Frequently Asked Questions

 Artificial turf, also known as artificial grass, is a synthetic lawn surface designed to provide the appearance and feel of natural grass without the ongoing mowing, watering, fertilizing, and maintenance required by traditional lawns. 

 The cost of artificial turf installation depends on several factors, including the size of the area, existing site conditions, excavation requirements, drainage, aggregate base preparation, turf selection, and installation complexity. ATL Turf Co. provides customized estimates based on your specific project and property. 

 High-quality artificial turf can provide many years of performance when properly installed and maintained. The lifespan depends on the quality of the turf, amount of use, installation conditions, and maintenance. 

A professional artificial turf installation typically involves:

1. Removing existing grass, vegetation, or unwanted materials 
2. Preparing and grading the installation area 
3. Installing and compacting the appropriate aggregate base 
4. Addressing drainage requirements 
5. Installing the artificial turf 
6. Securing and seaming the turf 
7. Adding infill and completing the final grooming 

Proper preparation is one of the most important parts of a long-lasting artificial grass installation.

 The aggregate base provides a stable foundation for your artificial turf. Properly installed and compacted base material helps create a firm, level surface while supporting drainage and helping prevent settling, uneven areas, and other installation problems. 

 Artificial turf can become warm in direct sunlight, particularly during hot Georgia summers. The amount of heat depends on factors such as sunlight, temperature, turf type, and surrounding conditions. There are solutions to reduce the surface temperature of your artificial grass.

 Artificial turf requires significantly less maintenance than a natural lawn, but it isn't completely maintenance-free. Occasional rinsing, removing debris, brushing high-traffic areas, and addressing pet waste can help keep your turf looking its best.

• Backyards

 Yes. ATL Turf Co. offers custom putting green installations designed around your property, playing preferences, and desired layout. Custom greens can incorporate features such as undulation, breaks, multiple holes, and tee areas. 

 Artificial turf can be a great option for dog owners because it eliminates many of the issues associated with maintaining natural grass. It can also be cleaned and rinsed as needed. 

 Pet areas should be properly designed and installed to promote drainage and allow the area to be cleaned effectively. Regular rinsing and appropriate maintenance can help control odors. 

 Artificial turf can be used for residential play and activity areas. For projects where impact protection is important, the appropriate turf system and safety specifications should be considered based on the intended use.
