Your questions, answered.
Every yard is different. Recommendations depend on drainage, sun exposure, pets, use and your project goals.
How long does residential turf last?
A quality residential turf system typically lasts 15-20 years, depending on product selection, traffic and ongoing care.
Does turf drain when it rains?
Cut Line Turf grades the base toward an existing drainage point to aid or improve drainage. Its published FAQ gives a turf drainage rate of “20-100 inches per hour, per square yard depending on turf type.” The selected product and complete system determine the applicable performance; ask the team for the product specification and confirmation of those units for your project.
Is turf safe for kids and pets?
Cut Line Turf says its turf products are designed for use by kids and pets. Ask the team about the specific turf, infill, adhesives and cleaning products proposed for your project.
Does turf get hot?
Like most outdoor surfaces, turf can become warm in direct sun, although not nearly as hot as concrete or decking. Shade, and a quick rinse with water helps in those hot summer days.
How much maintenance does turf require?
Turf is low maintenance, not no maintenance. Occasional rinsing, leaf removal, and light cleanup help keep it looking its best.
Can weeds grow through turf?
Proper preparation greatly reduces weed growth. While the turf system blocks interior weeds, occasional edge or airborne weeds can still appear. This is easily remedied by your usual weed maintenance and will not hurt the turf at all.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs are completed in one to three days, depending on project size, access, site conditions, and design complexity.
Will it look natural?
Premium turf products are designed with realistic color variation, blade shape, and texture for a clean, natural looking finish.
Does turf need to be watered?
Not for growth! Turf does benefit from the occasional rinsing to minimize dust build up, general cleaning for pets, or cooling.
Can turf be installed around patios, pools, or stepping stones?
Turf can be integrated beautifully with hardscapes and landscape features, creating a clean, mud free, and finished look throughout the yard.
