FAQ

Q: Does artificial grass look like real grass?

Yes. Modern synthetic turf has evolved dramatically and can closely replicate the look and feel of natural grass. Our premium turf products feature varied blade shapes, textures, and multi-tone color blends designed to create a realistic appearance from every angle. Combined with expert installation techniques, the finished result often looks indistinguishable from natural lawn surfaces. You can request a sample box, schedule a consultation, or visit our showroom to see and feel the difference firsthand.

Q: Is synthetic turf antimicrobial?

Many high-quality turf systems include antimicrobial technology designed to help maintain a cleaner, more hygienic surface. All turf materials offered by Synthetic Turf Northwest feature antimicrobial protection, making them a great choice for families, pets, and playground environments. Artificial turf is also less likely to attract insects such as ants, ticks, or fleas compared to traditional grass. When paired with proper infill and drainage, it creates a clean and low-maintenance outdoor surface.

Q: What goes under artificial grass?

A properly built foundation is essential to the longevity and performance of synthetic turf. At Synthetic Turf Northwest, we typically install a specialty crushed rock base designed to provide stability, proper drainage, and long-term durability. Depending on your project, additional layers may include weed barriers, mole protection, drainage solutions, or safety padding. Every installation is tailored to your property’s layout, soil conditions, and intended use to ensure the best possible result.

Q: What is artificial grass infill?

Infill is a key component of any synthetic turf system. It sits between the turf blades and helps them stand upright, improves durability, and enhances how the surface feels underfoot. The right infill also supports drainage — especially important in the Pacific Northwest — and helps protect the turf backing from wear and UV exposure. We use carefully selected sand blends designed for different applications, including specialized options for pet areas with natural deodorizing properties. We never use crumb rubber infill, which can retain heat and degrade performance over time.

Q: Does Synthetic Turf Northwest offer competitive pricing?

Yes. While our primary focus is delivering premium turf products and expert installation, we work hard to provide competitive pricing within the local market. If you receive a significantly lower quote elsewhere, it may indicate differences in material quality, installation methods, or long-term performance. Our goal is to deliver lasting value — not just a lower upfront price.

No. We focus exclusively on new, high-quality turf materials that meet our standards for durability, appearance, and performance. Used turf can be inconsistent in quality and may not provide the long-term results our clients expect.
