4 Qualities of Artificial Turf Supply Companies

Goat Turf provides turf products and installation services for homeowners and business owners in the Nashville area. We also carry a broad range of high-quality turf products to meet the project needs of professional landscapers, hardscapers, and other turf installation companies.  Here are four qualities to look for in an artificial turf supply company:

Understands Their Product Supply

Quality artificial turf suppliers are well-educated on the products they carry. They will be able to explain the differences between features like pile height and thatch depth, and how to choose the right turf type for your project. At Goat Turf, our professionals will inform you that a higher pile height with a thicker thatch is more suitable for residential and commercial play, pet, and common areas where user comfort is prioritized. Low pile height products are ideal for sports field applications for soccer, football, lacrosse, and golf, where athletes and equipment must move quickly across the surface. Turf can also come in a range of green and yellow colors to re-create the appearance of natural grass. 

Goat Turf carries SYNLawn Artificial Grass in several varieties. The SYNLawn brand has specialized pet, playground, landscape, patio, and golf turf varieties. The pet product line has a drainage system that prevents waste from pooling on the surface. It also has a durable construction that prevents damage from pets that dig in or scratch at the grass. Playground and athletic field turf have soft, antimicrobial fibers and cushioned fall pads that help prevent injuries from falls. Patio turf is developed with a waterproof layer to improve safety and traction in areas with high foot traffic. Our specialized golf products have short pile heights and UV resistance, which are features that help the golf ball travel smoothly over the turf and prevent premature gras fading and damage. We will recommend a turf type depending on your project goals and the intended use of the space.

Conducts Consultations

Turf supply teams offering consultations allow customers to share their project concerns and goals and get their questions answered. Suppliers recommend turf products based on the project type and location during consultations. Reputable suppliers are transparent about turf’s costs and work with your budget. Our team offers free quotes and consultations for wholesale supplies and installation services. During consultations for installations, we may request photographs of the site to assess the area and create an accurate estimate. This estimate includes the cost of materials and labor. Our installation team listens closely and asks questions about the project to confirm that we understand your goals. 

Makes Project Suggestions

If customers want to purchase turf to complete a DIY project, reputable turf suppliers will offer tips for successful outcomes. These tips and suggestions may include measuring the area, removing current ground cover, and checking with neighborhood and city regulations before installation. Turf professionals ask DIY customers what the turf will be used for and make product recommendations that suit the application. Installing a DIY small putting green or playground area may be more possible for homeowners and business owners after meeting with a turf professional. 

Our website offers a SYNLawn project wizard tool that allows customers to input their project goals and receive product suggestions and a customized quote. With this information, customers can adjust their plans and get started on their projects with professional guidance. The Goat Turf team may explain the benefits of having a professional turf designer and installer if the customer has a complex DIY project in mind or is unsure where to start. 

Installs the Turf

A quality turf company understands what it takes to install each product. At Goat Turf, we have a 20,000-square-foot warehouse filled with high-quality turf products that we have experience installing. We also carry a range of installation tools and equipment for landscape and construction professionals who want to install the material themselves. 

Before we start an installation project, we create a mock-up design and confirm it with the customer. This allows us to make changes to the plan before the work begins. Once we have an approved design, our team will travel to the installation site. We will remove the existing grass and plants from the targeted area and excavate to create a level surface. We apply a layer of aggregate that improves the turf’s drainage and prevents water from pooling on the grass. Our team then installs a cushioned or waterproof layer, depending on your project goals. The artificial turf is rolled out over these layers and held in place with adhesives, tacks, and edging materials. Before we leave your property, we confirm that the turf is smooth, secure, and matches your goals.
