Artificial grass has numerous benefits such as lessening water usage and removing the need for toxic lawn care treatments. Synthetic Turf has been gaining popularity in Canada in recent years. It’s in all of our best interests to live more environmentally consciously.

Artificial Grass Installation has an initial upfront cost that many aren’t aware of when it comes to purchasing artificial grass. You’ve heard it can be expensive, but you’ve also heard that it can save you time and money down the road. Is Artificial Grass Worth the Money?

Below answer some common questions about artificial grass installation. We also provide information about to help you understand if artificial grass will be a worthwhile investment for your home.

Artificial Grass Quality vs. Cost

The cost may range due to a wide variety of factors such as the construction quality of the artificial grass (fiber length, backing material – polyurethane versus latex, density) and your property type.

For example, the installation cost will increase if contractors need to excavate rocks or add on an additional layer of the weed barrier due to an overgrowth of weeds on your property.

You might want to choose low-cost artificial grass for specific areas of your property (with less foot traffic) and a more premium product for where you will spend most of your time.

Some artificial grass products come at a higher price point due to their high quality material and build quality, which improve the life expectancy of the grass, it’s resistance to heat, and it’s ability to remain standing tall after years of heavy foot-traffic and use.

Bella Turf is not the cheapest artificial turf as we instead strive for a premium quality product that will last for years and prove to be a positive investment versus a natural lawn.

Blades – This is what is seen on the top, green nylon blades that are resilient, soft and resistant to UV rays (sunlight).

Backing – The backing is made of 3 layers of fabric and glue, or composite coating on top of fabric, latex or polyurethane. This is what holds the turf together.

Thatch – The thatch is the part that looks like dead material, just like in real grass. In synthetic turf it has two purposes; to hold the blades up and give them a little support, and for aesthetics, it makes the grass look realistic.

Face Weight – This is the number of ounces per sq. yard of just the fiber. SimpleTurf is available in 40 to 102 ounce weights.

Total Weight – This is the total number of ounces per square yard of the blades and the backing combined. Generally the heavier the product weight, the better the durability of the turf.

Height – The length of the blades. (longer blades are more expensive)

Color – Made in many standard colors and custom colors can be special ordered.
