Every part of an artificial turf build, costed and explained - then matched to local pros who quote it.
A residential turf installation is a drainage and sub-base project that ends in a lawn, and the published numbers only make sense once you know which of the two you are paying for.
Pet turf is judged by what happens underneath it, not by how the blades look, and the published specification is a deeper, fully draining base plus an infill that changes the chemistry of the yard.
A playground surface is bought for one number - the fall height it is rated to - and everything else about the installation serves that number.
A backyard putting green is a shaped base with a surface stretched over it, and the published specification starts with the speed number the surface has to deliver.
Commercial turf is published as a high-traffic, high-drainage surface, and the two numbers that decide whether it works are the annual hours it is rated for and how fast the base sheds water.
