Pricing & Quotes
How much does artificial turf cost per square foot in Keller?

How much do putting greens cost in Keller?
Backyard putting greens typically run $15 to $25 a square foot installed. The size of the green, the base prep and the turf grade decide where yours lands, and we'll send a written quote for the green you have in mind.
Can I turf just the dog run instead of the whole yard?
Yes. Some Keller families start with the dog run and add more later, and others do the whole backyard in one go. The typical per-foot range is the same either way, so it mostly comes down to how much of the yard the dogs use and what you'd like to spend now.
How do I get a written quote?
Fill in the form or call, and tell us which parts of the yard you want covered, roughly how big each one is and what it's used for. Photos help a lot. We'll follow up and send you a written quote.
Heat, Pets & Kids
Does artificial turf get too hot for kids and dogs in a Texas summer?
It can, and it's worth planning for. Turf in full afternoon sun gets noticeably warmer than grass, and on the hottest Keller days it can be uncomfortable for bare feet and paws. Putting play and dog areas where they get afternoon shade, choosing a lighter-colored product and rinsing the surface before use all tend to help, and mornings and evenings are the gentlest times in July and August.
How do you keep pet turf from smelling like dog pee?
Mostly through drainage and a routine. Urine needs a path down through the turf and into the base, so pet areas get a permeable backing over compacted stone, with an infill sold for pet odor as an option. After that, pick up solids and rinse the spots your dog uses, more often in summer, with a turf-safe enzyme cleaner for any spot that lingers.
How long does artificial turf last in North Texas heat?
It depends on the product, how much sun it gets and how hard it's used. A dog run or play area sees more wear than a side yard. Turf makers rate their products differently, so ask about the expected life of the specific product in your quote.
What helps turf cool down for little feet?
Shade does the most. A tree, a shade sail or the house's afternoon shadow can make a real difference, and a quick spray with the hose cools the surface for a while. Some products and infills are marketed as running cooler, though results vary, and mornings and evenings are still the best play times in high summer.
Planning Your Turf
Will turf look fake if I only do part of my Keller backyard?
Partial turf can look quite natural, especially when it fills a defined space like a dog run, a play area or a path. A mixed-tone product and clean borders where it meets grass, beds or paving make the biggest difference. Tell us what your lawn looks like and we can suggest a blend that sits well beside it.
Can I water less once part of my Keller yard is turf?
Any turfed area comes off the sprinklers entirely. Keller keeps a twice-weekly watering schedule year-round with no watering between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m., so every square foot of turf is one less to keep alive on those two days.
Does my HOA have to approve artificial turf in Keller?
Many do. Texas law protects some drought-tolerant landscaping from HOA bans, but it isn't clear that it covers synthetic turf, so check your HOA's architectural guidelines and get any approval in writing before you plan.
Will weeds grow up through artificial grass?
Not through the turf itself, for the most part. A weed barrier and a compacted base keep growth from below in check, though seeds that land on top can sprout at seams or edges now and then. They're easy to pull.
