Synthetic Turf

TRU Landscape Services just completed a landscape installation in Mission Viejo. Mission Viejo is a city located in Orange County, California. This landscape renovation project had many important details, the most important decision the owner had to make was to install grass or install Synthetic Turf. The owner wanted to install real grass but they were afraid that the 75 pound puppy would tear it up. Another problem was that the grass area was only getting 3 hours of sun. Most grass needs a minimum of 4 hours of sun light to be healthy. Our customer likes to travel and didn’t want to worry about the gardener going in the back yard and leaving the gate open. By installing artificial turf the customer could lock the gate and not worry about the gardener.

Astro Turf Install

One of the most important steps to install Synthetic Turf properly is the foundation. Like most things in this world if the foundation is not done properly the rest of the project will either fail or not look proper. We have been out to several Synthetic Turf installs where the contractor skipped the first step and the most important step, installing the base. If you fail to install the base properly the artificial turf will sink when walked upon. TRU Landscape Services likes to use decompose granite (DG) for our base. A lot of companies use road base, which is crushed up concrete and asphalt. The down side to using road base is that the Artificial Turf has to be installed with large nails. Large nails work fine but we like using large staples which hold down the Synthetic Turf  better.

After installing 4” inches of  DG and getting the proper compaction, we install our plastic edging. Our edge’s are the strongest in the industry. If you would like to hear more about our edge’s please call us toll free at 1-866-487-1359. TRU Landscape Services doesn’t want to give away all of our trade secrets to installing Synthetic Turf properly!  Next we lay down a landscape fabric which will help stop the weeds from growing. You can skip this step but you will have several weeds growing through in a couple of months. If the contractor says he’s spraying a chemical that will block the weeds, ask them how long that will last? Most chemicals only control weeds up to one year. After installing the fabric we install the Synthetic Turf.   Last step is to back fill the turf. TRU Landscape Services has been installing Synthetic Turf  for over a decade in Orange County.  When you hire us to install your Synthetic Turf you can feel assured that you are getting a certified installer. All of our installers have been working for us for over 5 years.
