Why This Guide Matters

Most homeowners don’t realize that turf performance has very little to do with the grass itself. The difference between a yard that lasts 15 years and a yard that fails in two months comes down to base preparation, drainage design, soil movement, and installer skill. This guide helps you understand these factors so you can make an informed, confident decision.

Big Mistakes This Guide Helps You Avoid

Mistake 1: Choosing Turf Based on Price Alone

Low-cost turf quotes almost always hide shortcuts in based preparation, drainage or materials. These shortcuts lead to premature turf failure, uneven surfaces and costly repairs

Mistake 2: Ignoring Proper Drainage Engineering

Improper slope, compacted layers, or cheap infill can trap water beneath the turf. This leads to puddling you never see, odors you cannot find, bacteria buildup, and long-term performance issues.

Mistake 3: Hiring Installers Without Verifiable Work

Contractors who cannot show real installations, recent photos, or customer references typically rely on shortcuts. A lack of documented work is the biggest red flag in the turf industry.
