Wholesale Artificial Grass for Commercial Applications

Wholesale commercial artificial grass from Turf Outlet is an affordable and efficient solution for commercial lawns and landscapes. This type of artificial grass is specifically designed to withstand high foot traffic areas and other common forms of wear and tear. Additionally, our commercial artificial turf comes in a variety of styles and shades of green that can help match the aesthetic of virtually any business, including offices, retail stores, shopping centers, restaurants, and more.

Here are 10 things that might make you think twice about artificial turf:

1. Price. I’m not going to bury the lede… there is a significant investment involved. A properly installed artificial lawn is more like your paver patio than your traditional lawn. Expect to pay $25-$35 a square foot. Yes, a 1000 square foot lawn will be over $25K. Note that this assumes your turf is installed properly. Most is not.

2. Low maintenance, not NO maintenance. Yes, your required mowings will go from 40 per year to 0. However, it will need to be cleared of leaves and debris if you have trees nearby. And even if you don’t, fake grass wants to be raked occasionally to look its best. There is no app for that, but we do provide a special rake with every installation. Get one here.

3. Infill scares you. One of the final steps when installing a synthetic lawn is to apply “infill”. This product filters down into the turf, weighing it down, making it look better and feel softer on your feet. But you don’t live in a cave so you heard about the dangers of infill. The good news is that the “crumb rubber” infill that caused problems is no longer in use. We use a ceramic coated sand product that is totally safe.

4. You have south facing windows…. that get full sun in the summer. This is a tough one. The sun may reflect off the windows and melt some of the turf! This situation is common enough that it is not covered by turf manufacturer’s warranties. It is also common enough that we can usually design a way around it.

5. The seams are the tough part. If more than one roll of turf is required for your lawn there will be a place where the rolls meet. (Just like carpet in a large room.) Matching these two and seaming them well is the hardest part of installing synthetic grass. This means you probably shouldn’t DIY or be the first synthetic grass project your landscaper has ever done.

6. It doesn’t look like your old lawn. It looks better. And while a traditional lawn never looks better than it does shortly after installation, your synthetic lawn will look just as perfect in 5 years.

7. Kids love it. This stuff begs to be played on, even in the winter. So if you don’t want kids running around in your yard consider installing some really splintery bark dust instead. But if you want to let your future Timber play soccer year-round, synthetic lawn is what you need.

8. Drainage. You do not want water to be sitting under your lawn for days. It will eventually cause problems with the base it is installed on. So, depending on the grade of your yard and how well your soil drains we may need to install some drainage underneath. A simple French drain with corrugated pipe leading to a dry well should do the trick.

9. The color won’t last forever (but what will?) The deep green of a syn-lawn is pretty hard to resist. But eventually that color will be begin to fade. The turf Ross NW Watergardens installs has a 10 year warranty on the color. So how long will the color last? Ask me in 20 years.

10. Envy is bad for the neighborhood. Your perfect lawn (that requires no mowing, watering, fertilizing, aerating, dethatching, etc) is sure to catch the eye of your neighbors. Can they handle how much better your yard is?

 DRAINAGE BENEFITS  

Because the water is leaving just as fast as it’s dropping in, you prevent spore and bacteria growth, keeping your landscape safe for pets and kids. You also avoid muddy holes, puddles, and standing water which attracts a wide variety of bugs to your backyard. When it comes to your pets doing their business, the same benefits of drainage capabilities with rainfall apply as well. Pet urine drains through without leaving dead, brown spots on your perfect lawn. The other doggy business can be picked up and rinsed away quickly with no issues.   

Many homeowners don’t think about the adverse effects of rain when it comes to a natural lawn. If you’re using fertilizers, bug sprays, and other chemical substances to keep natural grass alive, keep in mind where those things go when it rains. All of those chemicals run off and can end up in places we don’t want them to be, including the ocean. When you install artificial grass, you’re keeping all the chemicals off the lawn and helping prevent water pollution every single day.

When it comes down to it, Ags turf believes in making artificial turf the best option for any home or business. We work hard to give our customers only the best turf products on the market, so you’re never concerned about flooding, bugs, pet urine, mud, or water pollution. Superior drainage will keep your home looking green, beautiful, and efficient all year long. If you’re interested in taking advantage of all these benefits, make sure to give our team a call. We would love to assist you in making the switch.    

 In Southern California, we know the chance of rain is always a slim one. However, on occasions where the clouds do come out to play, many homeowners question how effective their artificial grass installation is going to be at draining the water. Here at Ags turf, we are always proud to say that we provide our customers with turf products that are not only designed to ensure zero flooding and fast drainage, but also protects against other liquids your artificial grass lawn might encounter.

DRAINAGE CAPABILITIES

It might be hard to believe, but our artificial grass products drain more water than a natural grass lawn. When it rains, water percolates through ½ centimeter holes in the backing and flows through the base layer, avoiding any overflowing. The backing of our turf drains at a rate of 30 inches of water per hour per square yard. You’ll have no issues with a flooded backyard in the off chance of a rogue Anaheim rainstorm.  

 Honestly, you’ve worked incredibly hard this year, and you deserve a break. You deserve to enjoy the holiday season and every day after. With an artificial grass lawn, you won’t have to worry about mowing, fertilizing, or watering it, and guess what? It’s still going to be as green and luscious as the first day it was installed. There will be no discolorations, no dead spots, and no overgrown grass because your new lawn is low-maintenance. A low-maintenance lawn means you have more time to sip hot chocolate by the fire with your family.

Buying gifts can get expensive quickly. But with artificial grass, you can save money in the long run. You deserve to spend money on what matters. We all know that water doesn’t come cheap in Laguna Niguel, so why continue paying such a high water bill? Artificial grass eliminates the need for fertilizing and watering, which means you can finally say bye to that hefty water bill every month!

 Many homes are now converting to artificial grass in Laguna Niguel due to its durability and natural appearance. Although artificial turf was once unsightly and unnatural in appearance, advancements in technology in recent years have made it possible for our synthetic turf products to be completely natural looking and even softer than real grass. However, levels of durability between turf products can vary, so it’s essential that you choose the right product for your expected level of foot traffic when installing artificial grass in your Laguna Niguel residence.

 Outdoors, absorbed infrared sunlight is transformed into heat. Conventional dark colors, like those in standard artificial turf, absorb infrared light, causing high heat buildup and raising surface temperatures. With heat-reflective dark colors, like those used in our TigerCool turf products, infrared light is reflected instead of absorbed, causing a decrease in heat buildup. In a series of solar panel tests, it was indicated that TigerCool technology successfully reduces turf temperatures by 15 percent and up to 10 degrees, making it safer and more comfortable for you and your family to enjoy your artificial grass in Laguna Niguel.

TigerCool is used throughout our Diamond series and Marquee series – two of our best-selling lines. Both offer products for a range of needs, covering light to heavy foot traffic. Pile heights range from 1.75 inches to 1.875 inches, and face weights vary from 60 ounces to 75 ounces. All of our products are safe for children and pet-friendly so that you can be worry-free all year long.

It’s getting warmer every day in Laguna Niguel, and soon the blistering summer heat will be out in full force. When the weather heats up, you want your backyard to provide an oasis where you can cool off and make the most of the sunshine. Whether it’s you, your kids, or your pets, no one wants to run around on grass that burns their feet. With our range of products featuring innovative TigerCool technology, you won’t ever have to worry about heat ruining your outdoor activities again.

Our TigerTurf products feature the latest innovations available for artificial turf, including first-of-its-kind TigerCool temperature-control technology. In early generations of poorly-produced artificial turf, the surface temperature of the synthetic grass could often exceed 175 degrees. Not only is this uncomfortable for you, but it’s unsafe for your children and pets.  

Through years of research and development, TigerTurf and Tencate have revolutionized the artificial turf industry. Tencate is a worldwide innovator of space-age yarns for companies such as NASA and Boeing. Utilizing their unique and advanced yarns, TigerTurf engineered a product with heat reflective color pigments and UV inhibitors that reduce surface temperatures by up to 15 percent!

There are several components that determine a turf’s durability:

In our turf grass products, synthetic blades are tucked into a polyurethane backing that keeps the fibers intact. The most durable backings can resist thousands of pounds of resistance per square inch, making them optimal for high-traffic areas such as sports fields. There are two layers to the backing: the primary backing, where the blades are looped through, and the coating where the tuft bind is glued in. Tuft bind can withstand about ten pounds of force, on average, before monofilament will be removed from the backing. This is much more substantial and resistant than natural grass, which can be pulled out extremely easily, resulting in unattractive patches on your lawn.
