About Home Turf Synthetic Grass San Diego
Home Turf sells and installs synthetic turf in San Diego, manufactured with your best interests in mind. San Diego Home Turf synthetic grass lawns duplicate the look and feel of real grass blades without the imperfections, which is the end product of years of research and development. Artificial turf has become very realistic and affordable. Real grass is not just one color, and now neither is synthetic grass. We offer artificial grass manufactured of fibers consisting of a mixture of two and even three different colors. We offer San Diego many varieties of artificial turf to best suit specific applications, whether it be for dogs/pet runs, landscaping (commercial or residential), sports, or pool borders/surrounds. Synthetic grass lawns from Home Turf San Diego stand out from other artificial turf in San Diego. Home Turf’s fibers are very dense, soft and silky and a beautiful sight to behold. San Diego Home Turf Synthetic Grass offers fake grass products of varying face weight (the weight of artificial turf fibers per square yard – not including the backing on the synthetic grass product). Our synthetic grass makes an excellent surface for kids to play on, and not a bad place to fall either. For added safety, or just a better feel, we offer an underlying shock pad that goes underneath the artificial grass lawn or playground, which makes you feel as if you’re walking on the moon.
San Diego Home Turf Artificial Lawns and Putting Greens offers three different types of infill for it’s synthetic grass products (rubber, sand, or acrylic-coated sand), for artificial turf products that require it’s use (some synthetic grass is manufactured to not need rubber or other infill). These synthetic grass products that require absolutely no infill at all to keep the turf fibers standing straight up are a popular choice among San Diego dog owners with artificial turf.
San Diego Home Turf synthetic grass lawn fibers are surrounded and stabilized by a thatch layer (short layer of curled fibers below the tall fibers) and a special blend of rubber and sand or any of the infill varieties mentioned above.
Rubber is a popular component in the San Diego Home Turf artificial turf system and requires some mention. Recycled rubber tires and tennis shoes are cryogenically frozen and shattered into tiny smooth granules which are slightly bigger than grains of sand. The rubber granules are of such a size that they stay mixed with the sand and planted deep in the synthetic turf so they can’t wash away. We use a greater ratio of rubber to sand in our products than other artificial turfs on the market in San Diego which gives us a very distinct feel, and you get a non-compactable superior infill.
The end result of San Diego synthetic grass lawns installation system is a stable, resilient, shock absorbing, uniform and beautiful synthetic turf system.
San Diego Home Turf artificial grass products are comprised of different fiber types which are UV protected so they don’t fade in the sun, and are resistant to extreme temperatures. Some are a blend of only polyethylene monofilament. Others combine polyethylene and nylon fibers. Different pile heights (how tall the fake grass is) and different blade thicknesses and the different combinations of fiber types offer many differentiated distinctive looks. Face weight refers to the weight of the fibers/yarn that is sewn into a square yard of the artificial turf product. Several different synthetic turf backings are available on any of the fiber combinations you choose. Urethane (a black plastic looking backing with holes drilled in it for drainage), Dura-Flow (black backing with another layer of white cloth type material), and bio-cell/enviro-cell (black backing with a thicker white cloth which is manufactured in an environmentally friendly way, with-out the use of a petroleum base. All the backings offered on our San Diego synthetic grass products are very permeable so your lawn will drain faster than it did with real grass/sod.
Synthetic Grass Installation
Installation
Synthetic turf/artificial grass installation is an involved process that is best left to landscape professionals such as San Diego Home Turf’s team of experienced San Diego synthetic grass installers. The outcome of your artificial turf installation in San Diego greatly depends on the artificial turf being installed to conform to exacting specifications of base, correct product choice for a particular application, infill (if required), seaming materials and work performed by skilled craftsman who specialize in the trade of installing artificial grass lawns or putting greens. Water rebates are available in many San Diego areas on installed artificial turf. Water districts are encouraging the replacement of sod or real grass which consumes so much of our water, with synthetic grass by paying for part of your artificial turf installation – making your synthetic lawn project more affordable for you.
Our typical San Diego artificial grass lawn installation starts by capping any existing sprinkler heads, which is the beginning of big water bill savings for you. Next we remove the sod (or whatever is existing in the area currently), which you will not miss mowing or having a gardener or landscaper lurking around the house who mows it for you. If necessary, San Diego Home Turf Synthetic Grass Lawns will spray a weed killer or use a weed barrier mesh before we proceed to make the sub-base below the turf. We then dump and spread the appropriate type of aggregate which can be a mixture of, or only ¼-inch minus decomposed granite rock, ½ or 3/4 inch rock to build the proper base which water drains through much better than a natural soil lawn. We use a mixture of bigger rock and decomposed granite in areas that require more dramatic grading or filling. The big rock goes down first, is compacted to approximately 90% compaction, then the smaller decomposed granite goes on top of that which fills in the little crevices between the big rock and forms matrix which is very solid and allows for exceptional drainage.
After we have compacted this aggregate to very exacting specifications so the artificial turf will have the necessary grade and look perfectly smooth we begin the artificial turf preparation. The synthetic turf is unrolled and we power broom the synthetic grass fibers up to create a more natural multi-directional appearance and prepare the fake grass fibers for the infill (if necessary) to be worked down to the bottom of the turf fibers. The synthetic grass is then placed where it will stay and seams are made where necessary. We then shape around trees, rocks and borders before stretching and securing the artificial turf to it’s final resting place. Now we power broom the rubber/sand or any of the three infill products of your choice deep into the San Diego synthetic grass lawn fibers using a bigger ratio of rubber to sand than other synthetic turf brands on the market which gives San Diego Home Turf Artificial Grass a more natural feel and better bounce.
Now that we’re finished with our part, all you have to do is enjoy the San Diego weather and your beautiful synthetic grass lawn, or maintenance free artificial putting green. While San Diego Home Turf Synthetic Grass doesn’t require routine maintenance you will need to clean it periodically to maintain its appearance. Depending on how your lawn is used and whether or not you have a pet, you may need to wash your lawn more or less often. Call us today to learn more at (800) 966-TURF.

Synthetic/Artificial turf comes in many varieties, all for different applications. There are some San Diego artificial turf grass companies that will say you should use the same synthetic turf used in professional football, soccer and other sports for your landscaping. Synthetic sports turf certainly can be used for your San Diego landscaping, but it may not look or feel as nice as other artificial turf products. Artificial Astro Turf for sports applications is usually manufactured with tall fibers of synthetic grass which are held up only by large amounts of black rubber crumb. The problem with using artificial/synthetic turf grass with this black rubber crumb for your landscaping is that the black rubber heats up to an unbearable temperature and gets tracked around, which makes for a messy landscape. Installing this artificial sports turf near a pool spells disaster. Black rubber crumb sticks to wet feet, someone jumps in the pool and the rubber floats around. What a mess! Synthetic/artificial Astro Turf is great for football because it is very resilient to someone of three hundred pounds ripping around in cleats, but do you need that durability for your ‘Home Turf’ landscaping? Or do you want to pay the high price for artificial/synthetic Astro Turf? Professional football players and referees complain about how much hotter games played on artificial/synthetic Astro Turf because of the black rubber crumb absorbing heat. You can get a much cooler artificial turf product that’s more aesthetically pleasing for less money and will last just as long. Black rubber crumb found in some artificial/synthetic Astro Turf varieties for sports may not compact, but it does not provide for much bounce or cushion either. Home Turf Synthetic Lawns of San Diego offers very thick, lush artificial turf products that have much more bounce and cushion than synthetic sports turf. Home Turf of San Diego understands that many business and home owners want the best, most realistic artificial turf grass on the market for their landscaping. Artificial/synthetic Astro Turf made for sports with black rubber crumb infill is not the answer. Sometimes price is not a representation of value. Value is in the eye of the beholder. Artificial/synthetic Astro Turf with black rubber infill is the most expensive type of turf on the market but do not be deceived, it is not the ‘best’ artificial turf for all applications, such as residential and commercial landscaping. Call San Diego Home Turf today for product samples of our superior landscape turf and an estimate for your ‘Home Turf.

San Diego Home Turf Synthetic Grass Lawns recommends that you use a leaf blower or vacuum to remove organic materials such as leafs from your artificial turf. You may need a rake for bigger objects such as tree branches. We recommend a stiff bristle push broom for fluffing up artificial turf fibers in the high traffic areas as needed. Synthetic grass can get dirty during long periods without rain or after a wildfire which causes ash to rain down on us all over San Diego, so we suggest thoroughly spraying your artificial turf down; though you might feel a little silly watering your synthetic grass. Weeds may occasionally pop-up along the edge of your San Diego synthetic lawn from Home Turf so we recommend spraying and killing the weeds with a chemical such as Round Up or just picking the weeds out periodically.
Clean up your synthetic grass after your pets by removing droppings from your artificial grass as you normally would. Wash off any remaining debris with a hose. If there has been no rain for a long time we suggest you prevent pet odors and dirt by misting the fake turf with Simple Green or a “green” household cleaner and thoroughly spraying the artificial grass area down with a hose.
If you own one of our synthetic putting greens, depending on the type of putting green turf you have we suggest different things. If you have our nylon synthetic putting green in San Diego you don’t have to do a thing except the basic cleaning described above. If you own one of our polyethylene synthetic putting greens in San Diego, we suggest that you use a water roller occasionally to be sure the fibers stay set. Simply remove the flags from the artificial putting green cups and roll right over the cups and the entire surface of the putting green.
Even “maintenance free” synthetic turf requires a little care but this is as good as it gets. It sure beats the alternative of regular mowing, watering, fertilizing, and paying the gardener
