At ForeverLawn Texas, we know artificial turf is a big investment — and it’s normal to have lots of questions before making the switch. Here, we’re breaking down the most commonly asked questions about turf and giving you real answers based on ForeverLawn’s products and practices.

1. How much does artificial turf cost?

The cost of artificial turf varies depending on the product you choose, the size of the area, the condition of the current surface, and how much base work is needed. At ForeverLawn Texas, we offer premium turf solutions, and while we may not be the cheapest option, our products are engineered for durability, safety, and long-term performance — helping you save money in the long run.

2. Is artificial turf safe for kids and pets?

Absolutely. Safety is one of ForeverLawn’s top priorities.

• Our Playground Grass products meet and exceed ASTM fall height standards and are ADA accessible.
  
  
• K9Grass is designed specifically for dogs, offering edge-to-edge drainage and built-in AlphaSan® antimicrobial protection.
  
  
• Plus, ForeverLawn’s synthetic turf products are free of PFAS, making them a safe option for families, kids, and pets.
  
  
  

3. Does artificial grass get hot?

Like any outdoor surface, turf can warm up in direct sunlight. However, ForeverLawn offers cooling infill options like TCool, which can lower turf surface temperatures by up to 50 degrees. Plus, our Fusion line features nylon fibers that are more heat resistant than standard polyethylene turf. Turf still stays cooler than surfaces like asphalt or rubber.

4. What is the best base for artificial turf?

A proper base is key to a long-lasting install. At ForeverLawn Texas, we use a professional-grade compacted base — typically crushed stone or a proper blend that supports drainage and prevents shifting.
We never recommend installing directly over decomposed granite or crushed concrete without the correct layers.

5. How long does artificial turf last?

ForeverLawn products are built to last.

• Most of our turf comes with a 15-year warranty.
  
  
• With proper installation and basic care, ForeverLawn turf often lasts well beyond the warranty period, especially for residential installations.
  
  

6. Can I install artificial turf myself?

While DIY kits exist, professional installation is highly recommended — especially if you want your turf to perform well over time. ForeverLawn’s installation teams are certified and trained to ensure correct base work, seaming, drainage, and finishing for the best result possible.

7. What’s the best artificial turf for dogs?

K9Grass by ForeverLawn is the industry’s gold standard for dog-friendly turf.

• No infill needed, which means no trapped odors.
  
  
• Built-in antimicrobial protection with AlphaSan®.
  
  
• Superior drainage at 2,000–3,000 inches per hour.
  It’s trusted by dog parks, daycares, boarding facilities, and pet owners nationwide.
  
  
  

8. Is artificial grass environmentally friendly?

Yes!

• Turf conserves thousands of gallons of water per year by eliminating irrigation.
  
  
• No need for fertilizers, pesticides, or lawnmowers (less emissions).
  
  
• ForeverLawn turf is manufactured in the USA with a focus on sustainability and innovation.
  
  

9. What kind of maintenance does turf need?

Minimal maintenance is one of turf’s biggest benefits.

• Simply blow off leaves and debris.
  
  
• Occasionally brush high-traffic areas to keep blades upright.
  
  
• Rinse pet areas if needed (especially for K9Grass).
  No mowing, watering, or fertilizing ever needed.
  
  

10. Can you put turf over concrete or existing surfaces?

In many cases, yes!
At ForeverLawn Texas, we frequently install over:

• Concrete patios and courtyards
  
  
• Pour-in-Place rubber surfacing
  
  
• Pea gravel
  Proper drainage layers and prep are key, and our team ensures the final surface is smooth, safe, and beautiful.
