FAQs about The Woodlands Grass

What Is Artificial Turf Made Of?

Synthetic grass is often made from a polypropylene and polyethylene blend turned into synthetic fibers to resemble natural grass. 

Rubber granules and silica sand are then added to keep the blades upright.

Why Choose Artificial Turf for Your Lawn?

When done properly, synthetic grass can provide you with a lovely lawn without the hassle and expense of having to maintain a problem-plagued natural lawn in the changing Texas environment. Watering, mowing, fertilizing, adding chemicals/pesticides, re-seeding, allergies, and muddy paw prints can all be eliminated.

Is Artificial Turf Safe for My Children?

Kids love it! Children are completely safe on an artificial lawn. Because certain synthetic products are softer than actual grass, they don’t cause injuries or stain clothing when they fall during play. It doesn’t produce any pollen, so kids are unlikely to have an allergic reaction. The antimicrobial infill used reduces the risk of bacteria spreading to children and pets.

Is Synthetic Grass Dog-Friendly?

Dog owners account for more than 85% of our clientele. This turf is incredibly dog-friendly and is used by many humane societies, professional pet boarders, and groomers in dog runs. It doesn’t stain, urine drains through it, and droppings may be picked up or rinsed off with a hose, just like regular grass. The best part is that dogs won’t be able to dig through an artificial lawn.

How Long Does It Last?

The majority of The Woodlands Grass’ products are designed to last 8 to 10 years in a sports field application when used consistently. With regular preventive maintenance, you should be able to expect our products to last 20 years or more in your yard. To keep it looking clean, you may need to brush it with a broom or a light plastic rake once in a while, or we can do it for you. Check out the maintenance section.

How Well Does It Drain?

The Woodlands Grass utilizes products with a proprietary backing that drains better than anything else on the market. 

It’s a superb drainage system for your lawn or pet area when combined with the crushed stone base.

How Much Does It Cost?

The price ranges from $8 to $20 per sq. ft., depending on the application. Homeowners find that they save money in the long run by not purchasing yard maintenance items or paying for lawn or maintenance work every month.

How Long Does It Take to Install?

Installation usually takes one to three days.

Will It Reduce Pests Like Bugs and Small Animals?

Yes, this product eradicates pests. It covers the compacted ground, which prevents insects from getting to their food source. It is inedible to small animals such as rabbits, moles, and groundhogs, so they seek food elsewhere. Put an end to those nasty pests!

How Hot Does an Artificial Lawn Get in the Texas Heat?

An artificial lawn can get hot in the summer, depending on the infill used. The grass does not remain as cool as natural grass with water running through it, but unlike pavement, rock, or brick, it does not absorb or radiate heat. If necessary, sprinklers can be used to cool it down.

Is This Safe for the Environment?

Yes, an artificial lawn is completely safe for the environment. This product is created in accordance with environmentally friendly standards, saving water and preventing the use of pesticides. The Woodlands Grass only carries products that meet or exceed minimum standards for research and development, ISO 9001 quality, ISO 14001 environmental, and STC (Synthetic Turf Council) guidelines.

Can It Stain?

We haven’t encountered anything yet that can stain it. Paint can be softened and washed off with paint remover. Sticky food spills can also be hosed off, preventing dirt and bugs.

Does Mildew Grow on It?

It is relatively uncommon for mildew to grow on our artificial turf since we use high-quality synthetic and porous grass products. Simple household products can remedy many problems.

Will Weeds Ever Grow Through My Artificial Lawn?

In an artificial lawn, weeds are uncommon. Some sprouts may appear inside the infill or around the boundary, but a standard weed killer can be used at any time.

Aside from Sporting Applications, Can You Put Artificial Turf on Residential Lawns?

In the 1960s, synthetic turf was first used on professional athletic fields, but newer products were developed primarily for residential use. Homeowners prefer this product for many reasons, including its continuous beauty, easy maintenance, water conservation, and cost savings. Synthetic lawns are regulated by certain local governments and homeowners’ associations, so verify with local ordinances before installing.

Why Doesn’t It Fade?

Our products have UV protection built in, allowing them to maintain their color even in the worst situations. According to independent research, high-quality artificial turf fades at a rate of less than 1% per year. This means that any color change after 10 years in direct sunshine will be unnoticeable to the naked eye.

Will Installing Artificial Turf Help Increase My Property Value?

According to home financial experts, professional landscaping can increase the value of your property by up to 100% of the cost of the project. The real value is that a low-maintenance lawn contributes significantly to a home’s quick sale.

Does It Come with a Warranty?

Yes, the turf used by The Woodlands Grass is backed by some of the industry’s best and longest warranties. It covers fading, discoloration, and material and craftsmanship issues.

What Makes One Turf Product Different from Other Artificial Turf Products?

First and foremost, not all turf is made equal. The construction standards, quality of the product, and its related durability have led to artificial turf being the choice for the NFL, MLB, NCAA colleges, and high school sports teams. The standards by which a few products are manufactured are the primary difference between them and the rest of the market. Only the best products are available at The Woodlands Grass.

Can The Woodlands Grass Perform Other Jobs?

Our primary focus at The Woodlands Grass is turf, but we also provide services for various landscaping projects. We complete all of our work with our own skilled teams who are knowledgeable in every aspect of the synthetic turf industry, as well as all of your landscaping requirements.

What Kind of Maintenance Does It Require?

It’s more about keeping it clean than it is about maintenance. On occasion, a perimeter weed treatment may be required. Some weeds may grow on top of all these things, depending on your specific situation. 
Using a leaf blower, easily remove organic contaminants from the surface. Moving bigger materials may require the use of rakes; nonetheless, a leaf blower is an excellent tool for general upkeep. To “fluff” high-traffic areas that have been worn from use, use a stiff bristle broom.
