Does turf hold up to salt air and sand near the beach?

UV-stabilized turf on a stable base handles salt air and sand well. Near the beach we use salt-tolerant edging and a slightly denser pile so sand brushes out easily.

How much maintenance does artificial turf need?

Very little. Blow off leaves, rinse it down now and then, and give it a light brushing a few times a year to keep the fibers standing tall. No mowing, watering, fertilizing or weeding.

What happens when it pours in Charleston?

Our base is built drain-first: compacted crushed stone graded to move water away from the house, under turf with a perforated or full-flow backing. Most installs drain faster than the natural grass they replace.

Does turf get hot in the summer sun?

Any surface warms in direct July sun. We reduce it with lighter, heat-reflective fiber blends and cooling infills, and we design shade and planting around the way you actually use the yard. A quick rinse cools it down fast.

The craft

Cool-touch turf around pools that drains fast and never turns to mud.

Grass around a pool browns from splash, holds puddles and tracks grit into the water. We replace it with cool-touch turf over a fast-draining stone base, graded away from the pool and the house, and finish it cleanly against coping, pavers and planting beds.
