The 50-Question Turf Vetting Playbook: Screening an Installer Like a Pro
Choosing a turf installer is a decision most homeowners make on a single quote and a smooth sales pitch. The vetting playbook takes the opposite approach: fifty technical questions that force an installer to prove their work before they ever touch your yard.
The questions run through the entire project lifecycle — subgrade preparation, base materials, drainage design, seam quality, infill selection, warranty terms, and what happens when a problem appears in year three. Many installers who quote turf installation comfortably can't answer the questions about what's underneath it.
You don't need to know the answers yourself — you need to hear how confidently and specifically they respond. A contractor who can walk you through their engineered system is worth more than one who just promises the greenest lawn on the block.
