Full-sun turf runs warmer than lawn. Lighter infill and shade help, and it is worth considering before covering a large sunny area.

Synthetic Turf in Sandwich, Illinois
Synthetic turf earns its place in specific situations: deep shade where grass never fills in, dog runs that get destroyed every spring, small courtyards, rooftop and pool surrounds, putting greens and play areas that see heavy traffic.
The install is a drainage project as much as a surface one. We excavate, install and compact a permeable aggregate base, shape it to drain, then seam, anchor and infill the turf so it lies flat and stays that way.
Done properly it drains faster than lawn, stays green through August, and needs nothing more than an occasional rinse and brush.

Why It Matters
No mowing or watering
The area looks the same in a drought as it does in May.
Works where grass will not
Deep shade, dog runs, narrow side yards and heavy-traffic play areas.
Drains fast
A permeable base under the turf moves water away instead of holding it.

Common Questions
Does it get hot in summer?
How long does it last?
Is it good for dogs?
Yes, with pet-rated turf and the right infill and base. Solids are picked up as usual and the surface is rinsed.
Quality turf typically carries an eight to fifteen year warranty and often outlives it when the base was built correctly.
