If you’re considering artificial turf for your home, chances are—you’ve got questions. And you’re not alone. At Kingswood Turf, we talk to homeowners every day who want to understand how turf works, what it costs, and whether it really holds up to pets, kids, and Texas weather.

Here are answers to the most frequently asked questions we get—so you can feel confident before you make the switch.

❓ 1. Is Artificial Turf Safe for Kids and Pets?

Yes. All turf installed by Kingswood Turf is:

• Non-toxic and lead-free
• Hypoallergenic
• Soft underfoot and safe for running, crawling, or playing

✅ It’s great for play zones, family yards, and dog-friendly spaces.

❓ 2. How Long Does Turf Last?

High-quality artificial turf lasts 15–20 years, depending on use and maintenance. Kingswood Turf uses premium products and professional installation techniques that ensure long-term performance.

✅ It’s a one-time investment that pays off for decades.

❓ 3. Does Turf Get Hot in the Sun?

Turf can get warm in direct sunlight—just like pavers or concrete. However:

• We offer cooling infill to reduce surface heat
• Light-colored turf stays cooler
• Shade structures, umbrellas, or pergolas help too

✅ Most homeowners find it totally usable even in Texas heat.

❓ 4. What Kind of Maintenance Does Turf Need?

Turf is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. You'll want to:

• Rinse occasionally to remove dust and debris
• Brush high-traffic areas to keep fibers upright
• Spot-clean pet areas if needed

✅ No mowing, fertilizing, watering, or seasonal prep required.

❓ 5. How Does Turf Handle Rain and Drainage?

Turf is designed with perforated backing and layered drainage systems that:

• Allow water to pass through quickly
• Prevent pooling and runoff
• Keep surfaces usable shortly after rain

✅ It's even great for homes with poor soil or flooding issues.

❓ 6. Can You Install Turf Over Concrete or Old Grass?

Yes—turf can be installed:

• Over concrete patios or rooftops (with proper prep)
• After removing and leveling old grass
• In small areas like side yards, pet runs, or play zones

Kingswood Turf assesses the base and provides solutions that ensure long-term stability.

❓ 7. Does Turf Look Real?

Modern turf looks incredibly lifelike thanks to:

• Multi-toned blades
• Realistic fiber shapes and textures
• Professional installation that avoids “carpet” looks

✅ It’s common for neighbors to ask if it’s real—because it looks that good.

❓ 8. Is Turf Worth the Cost?

Turf costs more upfront than sod—but you’ll save thousands in:

• Water bills
• Lawn service
• Fertilizer, tools, and repair

✅ Most homeowners see a return on investment within just a few years.
