Why Choose Artificial Turf?

Keeping natural grass healthy in Alberta isn’t always easy. Long winters, dry summers, watering restrictions and difficult soil conditions can leave lawns looking patchy or worn. Artificial turf gives you a green, usable outdoor space without the regular work that comes with natural grass.

Less Lawn Maintenance

Forget about mowing, watering and fertilizing. Artificial turf only needs some occasional brushing, rinsing and leaf cleanup to keep it looking its best.

Green Throughout the Season

Artificial grass stays green without worrying about dry patches, shaded areas or muddy spots after heavy rain and spring snowmelt.

Uses Less Water

Artificial turf doesn't need regular watering. That can help reduce water use during dry Alberta summers and periods with watering restrictions.

Great for Pets and Kids

Artificial turf stands up well to everyday play. Dogs can't easily dig it up, pet urine won't create yellow patches, and kids can get back outside soon after it rains.

Great for Difficult Areas

Artificial turf works well in places where natural grass struggles, including shaded yards, slopes, rooftops, balconies and busy walkways.

Made to Last

Quality artificial turf can last for many years when it is installed correctly and properly maintained.

Artificial Turf Installation Process, Calgary, Alberta

Our Artificial Turf Installation Process

A good artificial turf installation starts with what’s underneath it. Poor base preparation can lead to puddles, uneven areas, visible seams and movement after winter. That’s why we take the time to prepare the site properly before the turf is installed.

1. Free Site Assessment and Quote

We start by measuring your space and looking at the soil, slope, drainage and site access. We'll also help you choose a turf product based on how you plan to use the area. After the assessment, you'll receive a clear, written quote.

2. Site Preparation and Grading

We remove existing grass, roots and other material before excavating and grading the area. We also address any drainage needs before installing the base.

3. Preparing the Base for Artificial Turf

A crushed aggregate base is installed, compacted and levelled to create a solid foundation. Proper base preparation helps keep the turf level through Alberta's changing seasons.

4. Weed Barrier and Edging

A geotextile layer helps separate the base from the soil and reduce weed growth. The perimeter is also prepared to keep the turf securely in place.

5. Turf Installation and Seaming

The turf is laid in the same direction, carefully cut to fit the space, and securely joined. We take care to keep seams as clean and natural-looking as possible.

6. Infill, Brushing and Final Walkthrough

We apply infill and brush the turf to help the fibres stand naturally. Once everything is finished, we clean up the area, walk you through the completed installation and explain how to care for your new turf.
