Every part of an artificial grass build, costed and explained, then matched to local installers who quote it.
A residential artificial grass installation in Miami is a drainage and sub-base project that happens to end with grass on top. The lawn is the last two days of the job; the base is everything else.
A pet yard is a plumbing problem with grass on top. Two dogs in a Miami wet season produce far more urine than a thin base can carry away, and the smell people blame on the grass is ammonia from a base that holds water.
A playground surface is specified by what happens when a child falls on it. The grass is the top layer of a safety system, and the layer under it, the shock pad, is the part a cheap quote leaves out.
A putting green is the most precisely built surface in this trade. The ball tells the truth about the base, and a green laid over an uneven pad will not roll true no matter what the turf costs.
Commercial work is judged on documents as much as on the surface. A property manager needs a specification, a drainage plan, a wind detail and a warranty schedule that survives an insurance review, not a square-foot price.
