A Four-Step Process

1

Excavate and Install Perimeter


The first step in installing artificial backyard turf is removing existing grass or ground cover to create a clean, level surface. The area is excavated to the proper depth using shovels, rakes, or machinery.

2

Stabilization Fabric & Crushed Stone


A stabilization fabric, or weed barrier, is placed over the crushed stone. It blocks weed growth, allows water drainage, and separates base materials from the turf.

3

Apply The Turf To The Gravel Base


After laying the crushed stone and fabric, the artificial turf is rolled out and positioned. It’s trimmed to fit the area precisely, ensuring alignment with the perimeter for a clean look.

4

Enjoy The Endless Possibilities


With your artificial turf installed, your backyard is transformed into a low-maintenance, lush, and inviting space. Whether for relaxation, play, or entertaining, the possibilities are endless!

We have a play area and prayer garden in our courtyard which is surrounded by our worship and educational buildings. It has been difficult to grow grass and the courtyard was basically a dirt and muddy mess. Because of the limited access, solutions were difficult. Then our preschool director encountered Site Prep salesman Jay F. at the Farm Show. Jay offered an artificial turf solution and worked with us through several adjustments to develop a proposal and the results are amazing! Installation Foreman Jay E. and Jay F. led a team of skilled workers with impressive work ethic that totally transformed our courtyard in 4 days! They cleared the space, resolved drainage issues and provided the gold standard small stone foundation and then installed a high quality turf product. Jay and Jay and their team were amazingly easy to work with and this project was a very enjoyable experience. I highly recommend Site Prep and feel blessed to have met and worked with this amazing team!Read moreACg8ocIY87FQ9AEcWowY36QSZkKDxe3GZfULE X5HWvwTavD4yn9FQ=w80 h80 pBenjamin MacLuckieJay and Daniel were excellent.

From the preliminary stage of estimating the job, communicating price and scheduling with Liz up to the excellent prep and installation by Jay and Daniel, Site Prep exceeded my expectations in every way. Communication was clear and considerate, responding to all questions and notifying me of time of arrival to start the job. A special credit goes to Jay and Daniel who worked nonstop through days of extremely high temperatures in June to remove the original yard, level the ground and install the turf. My lot is narrow and not easily accessible but they made it work with attention to every detail. At the end of each day and without me asking, they took care to replace a fence panel which was the point of entry for the machinery so that my dogs could be safe and secure in the yard. The site was left clean each day and the finished job looks wonderful. I could not be more complimentary about this project and the work ethic of the employees of this very fine company. I highly recommend Site Prep for any of the services and plan to contract with them again next summer to repave my walkways. cfRead moreACg8ocKuwr6VpzIBZ7d6jwL8hxrvhSJDbhOZZ3VhmecYU9H4BRW Qw=w80 h80 pJimmy JeeJay and team did an amazing job installing a turf and gravel pad.

We had Site Prep install a clean, cozy, dedicated, healthy, protected, safe, and secure space for our Golden Retriever puppy (Aspen) to ensure her comfort in any weather: Dog Play Area Turf Yard. Turf areas provide several benefits for pets: reduced exposure to harmful chemicals, allergens, and parasites found in natural grass. Promotes better hygiene and cleanliness by preventing mud, dirt, and pests from getting into the house. Enhances physical activity and mental stimulation of pets by providing a safe space for them to play and exercise … just to name a few of the advantages. The crew is a powerhouse of talent! Not only do they have great work ethic, are polite, courteous, detail-oriented, focused, *hardworking*, and meticulous … Site Prep is undeniably committed to excellence. Start to finish during the entire process, working with Site Prep was an outstanding experience. From visiting our home to review the work, continued communications throughout the job, preparing the area, excavating and installing the perimeter, adding the stabilization fabric and crushed stone/gravel, to adding the material and final turf product. Amazing on every level. I repeat: 10 stars! Highly recommend. Ben, Dave, Sam, AJ, Alex, Richie, Ed, Tim: thank you for an outstanding job and for a pawsitively amazing dog play area for our Golden girl Aspen!Read more

FAQs

Artificial turf pads can be installed on various surfaces, such as soil, asphalt, concrete, gravel, and decking. To determine which surface is right for your artificial turf pad, please contact us, we’d be happy to help!

Artificial turf pads require minimal maintenance compared to natural grass. Typical maintenance includes regular cleaning, fluffing and brushing, and inspection for any weed growth, odors, or areas of poor drainage. 

Having a sturdy base and sub-base layer under artificial turf is essential. We recommend a gravel foundation for a sturdy base underneath your artificial turf pad.

Artificial turf pads are generally a safe option for children and pets. However, factors such as chemical composition and heat retention should be considered. While their shock absorption capabilities can prevent injury, it’s also important to ensure that the turf doesn’t get too hot or that the pad is non-toxic. 

Artificial grass can be difficult to maintain, retain heat, and dispose of. While it requires less maintenance than natural grass, cleaning up debris or pet waste is important. In addition, it retains heat, which can make it too hot to touch in warm months. Finally, because turf yards are artificial, they are potentially harmful to the environment if not properly disposed of.
