How Does Turf Green’s Synthetic Lawn Compare With Others?
Do you Install to Manufacturer’s Specifications?
Yes. Unfortunately, some artificial grass installers cut corners with their installation in order to reduce costs, skimping on the density of base, pinning or brushing in the sand in-fill on top of the pile. Unfortunately this means the manufacturer’s warranty is voided and reduces the longevity of the product. At Turf Green, we don’t cut corners with our installation of synthetic grass. Each of our artificial grass installations meet our manufacturers guidelines, which means you receive years of hassle free enjoyment of your synthetic lawn.
