Artificial Grass Installation

usturftx - Artificial turf and grass installation Austin TX (9)

If you’re thinking of installing artificial grass on your Austin property, you probably already know some of the benefits that going the synthetic route can offer you. From water conservation to eliminating the need for mowing to year-round visual perfection, artificial grass is a game-changer for homes here in Texas.

One thing that catches many homeowners by surprise, however, is learning that there’s not just one type of turf! In fact, there is a range of different styles that can be ideal for different settings, budgets, and tastes. Here at US Turf TX, we can help you choose the type of artificial grass that will be perfect for your home or commercial space. Let’s take a look at your options!

Types of artificial grass:

Emerald

Our Emerald artificial grass is a gorgeous, durable option for a variety of residential and commercial settings. It features a bi-color variation of wheat and olive green which gives the look of a healthy, vibrant lawn. And at 85 oz, Emerald will give you the durability for use in high traffic areas or backyards with pets.

Emerald is one of our most budget-friendly options, with a starting price of $6.99 per square foot.

Lush

If you’re looking for an even more natural grass look, Lush is the turf that will make all of your guests do a double take. It has dark green and olive tones as well as lighter emerald green and lime variations to mimic the look of natural grass.

And, with a slightly heavier weight than Emerald (Lush is 132 oz), it offers even more durability for areas with larger pets or more active families.

Like Emerald, the price point for Lush is 6.99 per square foot.

Putting green

Before artificial grass, the idea of having a private putting green in your own backyard was almost laughable given the level of upkeep it would require. Our putting green turf makes that dream accessible to every homeowner here in Austin TX without the cost or level of care required of a living golf course.

Whether you’re just getting into golfing or are a professional, our putting green will help you hone your skills by mimicking the surface conditions and realistic ball roll of a commercial golf course. And with US Turf artificial grass, you’ll enjoy green speeds from 4 to 10 so that you can show up to the golf course ready to play your best game.

This style of turf is made with emerald green and pine colors, making it instantly recognizable as a putting green! You can install it at your home or commercial space for 10.99 per square foot.

Understanding artificial grass weight

One of the ways to differentiate between styles of turf is by weight. In general, a heavier weight will offer more durability, making it better suited for high traffic areas or rough play (imagine dogs running around or kids playing soccer.)

The types of artificial grass we offer here at US Turf is between 85 and 132 oz, making it perfect for areas that will get plenty of use. In fact, with proper care, your US Turf lawn can last up to 25 years.

Best uses for different types of artificial grass

Still not sure which type of artificial grass is right for your home or business? Let’s take a look at some considerations that can help you land on the right style!

Pets

One of the most common questions we get about choosing the right turf is which style is most pet-friendly. Luckily, both of our most cost-effective artificial grasses, the Emerald and the Lush, are ideal for dogs, regardless of whether you have an hyper-active puppy or multiple dogs that like to roughhouse. Both of these options are great for medium to large dogs.

Wondering about waste? All of the types of artificial grass we offer here at US Turf can be easily cleaned by hosing it down. For pet waste, we also recommend cleaning with a turf-friendly cleaner such as OxyTurf to eliminate odors and kill bacteria.

Kids

If you envision your backyard as a place where your kids can play, explore, and play sports, our Emerald and Lush artificial grasses will offer the longevity to see them through every childhood stage! We’ve installed this type of grass at schools and family homes because of its low maintenance, beauty, and durability.

Training

Whether you use your backyard as a home training field or are looking to install artificial grass at your commercial gym, choosing the right type of turf can help you and your clients achieve your fitness goals.

Putting Green, for example, is great for free weight areas and lobbies whereas Emerald can give you the perfect training ground for soccer or volleyball.

Ask our team at US Turf about what we would recommend for your specific exercise needs. We can help you find the right turf option for maximum durability, cushioning, and athletic performance.

Landscaping design

Using different styles of artificial grass in your landscaping design can be a great way to add depth, contrast, and visual intrigue. For instance, interlaying sections of Lush with stone pavers can give you the look of a classic cottage garden or tropical landscape, while a shorter turf such as Putting Green can be ideal for creating a desert landscape or clean geometrical theme.

And, because our turf options come in different varieties of green, you can also play around with color to create separate zones or designs based on your artistic vision. What’s more, lighter synthetic grasses do a better job at reflecting UV rays, so we can also design your outdoor space with considerations for comfort and temperature regulation.

Commercial use

Businesses all over the Austin area are making the switch to artificial grass as a way to cut down on maintenance costs and make their space look more inviting for customers and staff. For pet-friendly offices, for example, you might consider converting part of your outdoor area to an Emerald or Lush-covered play area. Or, if you want to encourage employee-bonding, why not install an indoor gym or mini pickleball court on company grounds with Putting Green?

The possibilities are endless! Artificial grass can be installed alongside food trucks to provide a more inviting eating experience or used to replace expensive landscaping that is crucial to creating a pleasant customer experience. Turf has been used to enhance malls, hospitals, schools, yoga studios and many more types of commercial spaces!

We couldn’t be happier with our experience with US Turf! They completely transformed our backyard into a lush, vibrant space where our 16-month-old son can now run and play safely. Before, we struggled with patchy grass and dirt that made outdoor time a hassle—but now, thanks to their incredible work, our little one has the perfect soft, green turf to enjoy!Not only that, but our Frenchies are absolutely loving it too! We used to deal with constant allergy issues from natural grass, but ever since switching to turf, those problems are completely gone. It's been a total game-changer for them (and for us!).The US Turf team also did an amazing job on our front yard. Their excavation work was top-notch, and they went above and beyond to ensure everything was done with precision and care. From start to finish, the entire process was seamless, and their attention to detail was unmatched.If you’re thinking about making the switch to turf, don’t hesitate—US Turf is the best in the business! Professional, efficient, and truly dedicated to delivering a flawless end result. We can’t recommend them enough!

Jaycob came out to survey our small turf area to complete a deck project we had. They gave us a great deal and were installing by the weekend. The crew was timely and did a wonderful job.

US Turf did an amazing job on our putting green installation. We wanted a smaller putting green near our pool for outdoor recreation, along with regular turf expansion to allow additional pool seating.The putting green design is outstanding. The green has a great course-like feel with fun slopes that give the three holes a fun challenge.Additionally, our project manager Jacob was tremendous to work with during the entire process. He was very responsive and helpful. While our project was smaller than others in the area, I was treated as an important client and shown great customer service, which can be rare these days. This is a great company and cannot recommend more!
