Planning and Budgeting
☐ Budget 5 to 15 per square foot for a complete professional turf installation
☐ Measure the area and note slopes, shade, and drainage patterns
☐ Decide the turf use: lawn, pets, play, or putting green
☐ Confirm whether removal of existing grass, sprinklers, and debris is in the quote
☐ Check with your homeowners association or municipality about synthetic lawn rules
☐ Choose the infill type based on use: silica sand, coated sand, or crumb rubber
☐ Get at least three quotes with the same scope of base work
☐ Ask each bidder for turf spec sheets with face weight and pile height
☐ Confirm the quote includes edging, seaming, and disposal
☐ Ask how long installation takes and whether the yard stays usable during the work
Installer Verification
☐ Verify the installer carries general liability and workers comp insurance
☐ Ask for references from installations at least two years old
☐ Confirm the crew will excavate 3 to 4 inches and install a compacted crushed-rock base
☐ Ask how the base is compacted and how they verify it is level
☐ Ask how seams are joined and whether they are guaranteed invisible
☐ Confirm the drainage plan for rain and pet urine
☐ Ask what infill pounds per square foot are included
☐ Verify the warranty covers material and workmanship separately
☐ Ask whether UV-stabilized turf is specified for your sun exposure
☐ Get the contract in writing with product names and model numbers
Installation and Care
☐ Confirm the old lawn and topsoil are fully removed before base work
☐ Check that the base is compacted, level, and sloped away from the house
☐ Verify the weed barrier is laid before the base or turf per specification
☐ Watch that turf seams are staggered and glued or seamed properly
☐ Confirm infill is spread evenly and the turf is power-brushed upright
☐ Inspect edges and pinning at borders and against hardscapes
☐ Rinse pet urine spots weekly and brush high-traffic areas
☐ Remove leaves and debris regularly to prevent matting
☐ Top up infill every 1 to 2 years in heavy-use areas
☐ Keep the manufacturer warranty card and installer contract on file
