Frequently Asked Questions

How long does artificial turf last?

A professionally installed, high-quality turf system can last 15-20+ years depending on usage, maintenance, and environmental conditions. We use premium materials designed to withstand Texas heat, foot traffic, pets, and everyday family use.

Will my HOA approve artificial turf?

In most cases, yes. Many HOAs in Keller, Fort Worth, and the surrounding area have become increasingly accepting of high-quality artificial turf because of its natural appearance and water-saving benefits. Silverleaf Turf Co. can help guide you through your HOA’s requirements and provide documentation to make approval easier.

What is artificial turf made of, and is it safe?

Modern artificial turf is made from durable synthetic fibers engineered to look and feel like natural grass. Silverleaf Turf Co.’s turf products are non-toxic, lead-free, and safe for children and pets of all sizes.

Can artificial turf be installed directly over dirt?

No. A long-lasting installation requires excavation, a compacted aggregate base, proper grading, and drainage preparation. Skipping these steps leads to settling, standing water, and premature wear — Silverleaf Turf Co. never cuts this step.

Can I install turf myself?

DIY installation is possible, but professional installation ensures proper drainage, seam placement, base preparation, and long-term performance. A lawn installed by Silverleaf Turf Co. typically looks better and lasts significantly longer than a DIY job.

Does artificial turf smell after pet use?

No — when installed correctly with proper drainage, artificial turf stays clean and odor-free. Silverleaf Turf Co.’s pet turf systems use advanced drainage layers, and occasional rinsing keeps the surface fresh year-round.

Does turf require maintenance?

Very little compared to natural grass — there’s no mowing, watering, fertilizing, or reseeding. Occasional rinsing, leaf removal, and brushing are all it takes to keep your Silverleaf Turf Co. lawn looking its best.

How much does artificial turf cost?

Turf cost depends on square footage, turf type, and site preparation needs. Every Silverleaf Turf Co. project starts with a free, itemized estimate so you know the exact cost upfront — request yours through our contact page.

What happens to my sprinkler system?

In many cases, portions of your existing irrigation system can be capped, removed, or repurposed depending on the project. Silverleaf Turf Co. evaluates your setup during the consultation and recommends the most practical solution.
