Options for Outdoor Turf


When you want to create a beautiful, fun space for the family to enjoy outdoors, natural turf has its disadvantages … and many, many advantages. If you’re tired of watering, mowing, fertilizing, weeding, and any of the other frequent chores that natural grass requires, consider an installation of outdoor turf from Greatmats instead.

You can install outside turf on a rooftop patio, pool deck, playground, or elsewhere across your property to add a splash of color all year round using a low-maintenance material. Learn more about all the outdoor turf options that give you more time to enjoy your space – and require less time trying to figure out why your mower won’t start!

Sizes for Outdoor Artificial Turf


At Greatmats, we offer multiple sizes of our outdoor artificial turf grass.

Rolls


Rolls are ideal for covering large areas. We provide custom-cut lengths in the rolls up to 100 feet. You can choose from two standard widths:

Turf Rug


For some people, patio turf involves using one of our large turf rugs. These turf carpet pieces can go directly over an existing patio, although some people use them to create a patio or comfortable space for dogs or for another pet while camping. The sizes available for our outdoor artificial turf rugs include:
  • 4x6 feet
  • 6x9 feet
  • 9x12 feet

Grass Carpet Tiles


For some patios or covered decks, you may want to install artificial grass carpet tiles that have a peel-and-stick backing. Each tile measures 24x24 inches, providing 4 square feet of coverage. With tiles, it’s easier to create a custom coverage size or cover an area with an unusual shape than larger rolls or rugs. Multiple colors are available in our outdoor turf tiles.

Installation Options for Outdoor Turf Grass


Whether you want to install rolls of outdoor gym turf for golf, pets, a kids’ playground, landscaping, or another option, you may be able to install outdoor turf as a DIY job. Some of the steps required include:
  • Prepare the ground at the installation site
  • Add materials to help with drainage
  • Pack down the base materials
  • Unroll the artificial turf over the prepared ground
  • Attach seams as required across the layout
  • Cut the turf to match the space
  • Fasten it to buried treated wood around the perimeter
  • Add any infill product as required

Some of our customers opt to do the work themselves, but larger and more complicated turf projects will require that you hire a professional installer.

Outdoor Turf Q&A


How long does artificial turf last?


The lifespan for artificial turf can be 20 years or more with the right care and maintenance. These are durable products that often carry warranties of 10 years or 15 years.

Can you lay artificial turf over dirt?


You can put artificial turf over dirt, as long as you perform some prep work on the dirt area ahead of time. You may need to level and compact the dirt before you can place the artificial turf over the top. You’ll also need to add treated wood around the layout's perimeter to secure the turf roll.

How do you cool outdoor artificial grass?


To cool down outdoor artificial grass, try using a sprinkler or hose to dampen the turf, which should instantly reduce the temperature. If you can add shade through umbrellas, sail shades, or pergolas, this helps keep the turf cool. If you’re worried about the heat of the turf, consider selecting a lighter color.

What is the best artificial outdoor turf for dogs?


The best artificial turf for dogs should have excellent drainage for rainwater and urine. It should be easy to clean after removing feces. It also should consist of durable materials to resist any holes the dogs try to dig.

What are the best outdoor backyard turf options for homeowners?


The best outdoor backyard turf options for homeowners often involve rolls of artificial grass that cover a large space for a reasonable cost. They should have excellent UV resistance to avoid fading when exposed to constant sunlight. They should drain easily so rain does not collect and pool on top of the turf.
