Synthetic Turf

Bélanger Landscape

While we firmly believe that synthetic turf is a useful addition to the landscape design/installation toolbox, it's definitely not the correct response for all lawn questions. If you call one of the large synthetic turf "specialists", who deal exclusively in synthetic turf and putting green installations, they will attempt to sell you synthetic turf whether it's the right choice for you or not. Let us explain the pros and cons of synthetic turf and help you decide if it's the right choice for you. It is our goal to be at your service for years to come.

Synthetic is great for many shady backyard situations where real grass just won't survive. It can also become very hot to walk on in bare feet in a sunny location. If patio furniture is placed on it long term, permanent damage can occur. There is a "heat island" effect that can be intense at times in large sunny areas. Careful consideration of all aspects is absolutely necessary prior to selection of synthetic turf for your home. We have installed dozens of synthetic turf projects. We have also recommended against it's usage in many cases. We are the only synthetic turf salespersons who might tell you that synthetic is not right for you.
