Why Install Artificial Turf?
Whether you want a safe place for your children or dogs to play or a fun hangout for friends and family, artificial turf pads are a great choice. Also known as shock pads, they are built with rubber, foam, or other synthetic materials that help cushion impacts, preventing injuries. Designed to look like grass, they’re also a natural addition to your yard.
There are many artificial turf installation companies out there. What sets Site Prep apart is that we offer artificial turf installation and a sub-gravel base combination to produce a natural-looking, stable turf foundation perfect for a play area for your children or dogs.

FAQs
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 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.
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 do not prevent weed growth alone. When installed with base layers such as gravel and geotextile fabrics, the entire turf pad system works together to combat weed growth. That’s why we include a base layer and a weed fabric barrier in our artificial turf pad installation process.
