Residential Turf Raleigh NC

The Best Residential Artificial Turf in Raleigh, NC

Let’s be honest... How much time did you spend last summer sweating behind a lawnmower? How many times did you yell at the dog for tracking bright red North Carolina clay onto your clean carpet? If you live in Raleigh, Apex, Durham, or Chapel Hill, you know the struggle is real.

Keeping a natural grass lawn alive in the Triangle area is like a full-time job. You have the scorching heat in July that turns your grass into crispy straw. You have the heavy humidity that brings lawn fungus. And don’t forget the shady spots under your big oak trees where nothing but moss seems to grow. It’s a lot of work for a yard that only looks "okay" for two months out of the year.

But what if you could fire your lawnmower? What if your yard looked like a golf course every single day, no matter the weather?

At Artificial Turf Pros Raleigh, we turn that dream into a reality. We specialize in residential artificial turf installation that transforms your patchy, muddy yard into a permanent paradise. We help homeowners take back their weekends. No more mowing. No more watering. Just a perfect, green lawn that is ready for a barbecue whenever you are.

Why Raleigh Homeowners Are Switching to Artificial Grass

You might have noticed that more and more of your neighbors are making the switch. You drive by in December, and their yard is still emerald green while everyone else’s looks sad and brown. Why is residential artificial grass becoming so popular in Wake County? It comes down to three big things: The Soil, The Weather, and The Lifestyle.

The Battle Against Red Clay

If you have lived in North Carolina for more than a week, you know about the red clay. It is sticky, it stains everything, and it drains water very poorly. When it rains, your backyard turns into a swamp. When it dries out, it turns into a brick. Natural grass struggles to grow deep roots in this stuff.

Our residential artificial turf system solves this completely. We don't just roll a carpet over the dirt. We excavate that clay and install a specialized drainage base. This means when those summer storms roll through, the water drains away instantly. No more mud puddles. No more muddy footprints in the hallway.

Saving Water (and Money)

Did you know that keeping a natural lawn green can double your water bill in the summer? Between sprinkler systems and hose attachments, you are literally pouring money into the ground.

With residential artificial grass, you can say goodbye to the sprinklers. Our turf stays lush and vibrant without a single drop of water. Over time, the money you save on water, fertilizer, grass seed, and lawn care service adds up. It’s an investment that pays you back.

The "Always Ready" Yard

Imagine you want to host a spontaneous cookout on a Tuesday evening. If you have natural grass, you might have to rush home to mow. You might have to check if the yard is too wet from the rain last night.



With artificial turf, your yard is always ready. It is perfectly cut, dry, and clean 24/7/365. Whether it’s a birthday party for the kids or a glass of wine on the patio, your outdoor space is always open for business.

Our Residential Artificial Turf Services

We don’t believe in a "one size fits all" lawn. Every home is different. Every family uses their yard differently. That is why Artificial Turf Pros Raleigh offers custom solutions.

Full Lawn Replacement

This is the total makeover. We replace your entire front or back yard with premium synthetic grass. This creates massive curb appeal. It looks so real that your neighbors will stop to ask who your landscaper is. You can tell them it’s us, or you can just smile and keep the secret!

Backyard Putting Greens

Why drive to the golf course when you can practice your short game in your pajamas? We design and install professional-grade putting greens right in your backyard. These aren't just green carpets; they are engineered for true ball roll. We can build slopes, breaks, and even sand traps. It’s the ultimate addition for any golf lover in the family.

Pet-Friendly Turf Zones

Dogs love our turf even more than humans do. But dog owners often worry about smells or durability. Don’t worry—we are pros at this. We install specific pet-friendly artificial grass that is built tough to handle zoomies and digging. Plus, we use a special airflow backing and antimicrobial infill that prevents odors. It’s safe, non-toxic, and easy to clean.

Pool Surrounds

Natural grass around a swimming pool is a nightmare. The chlorine kills the grass, and wet feet drag grass clippings into the pool. Artificial turf is the perfect pool deck. It is soft on bare feet, it isn't slippery like concrete, and it keeps your pool water sparkling clean.

Play Areas for Kids

If you have a swing set or a jungle gym, you know that the grass underneath them dies instantly. It turns into a hard, muddy patch that isn't safe for falling. We can install turf with an extra "shock pad" layer underneath. This makes the ground soft and bouncy, protecting your little ones from bumps and bruises while they play.

How We Install Your New Lawn (The Right Way)

You might have seen DIY artificial grass that looks wrinkly or cheap. That happens when you skip steps. At Artificial Turf Pros Raleigh, we are perfectionists. We follow a strict process to ensure your lawn lasts for 15 to 20 years.

Step 1: Excavation First, we clear out the old grass and remove a few inches of that heavy topsoil and clay. We need a clean slate to build your new foundation.

Step 2: The Base Layer This is the most important part. We bring in tons (literally) of crushed stone and aggregate. We spread this out and use a heavy compactor machine to pack it down tight. This creates a rock-solid foundation that won’t sink or get lumpy over time. It also allows water to flow right through it.

Step 3: Laying the Turf We roll out your chosen residential artificial turf. We carefully cut it to fit every curve of your landscaping, flower beds, and walkways. We make sure the "grain" of the grass faces the right way so it looks natural from your windows.

Step 4: Seaming and Securing If your yard is wider than the roll of turf, we have to join pieces together. We use industrial-strength tape and glue to make the seams invisible. Then, we secure the edges with long nails that disappear into the grass, so the turf never shifts.

Step 5: Infill and Power Brooming Finally, we spread a layer of "infill" (usually a specialized sand) over the top. We use a power broom to brush the sand deep into the roots of the fibers. This weighs the turf down and makes the blades stand up straight and tall, just like real grass.

Common Myths About Artificial Grass

Even though synthetic turf has been around for decades, there are still some funny myths floating around. Let’s bust a few of them.

Myth #1: "It looks fake and shiny." Maybe 20 years ago! But technology has changed. Modern residential artificial grass has multiple colors—greens, olives, and even a little bit of tan thatch at the bottom—to mimic real fescue or bermuda grass. It has low-luster fibers that don't shine like plastic. Most people can't tell the difference until they touch it.

Myth #2: "It gets too hot." Any surface outside gets warm in the Raleigh summer, even your wooden deck. While turf can get warmer than wet soil, we use high-quality materials designed to reflect heat. Plus, a quick spray with the hose cools it down instantly for hours.

Myth #3: "It’s bad for the environment." Actually, it’s quite the opposite. Think about the carbon footprint of a lawnmower running on gas every week. Think about the chemical fertilizers washing into our local creeks and rivers. And think about the thousands of gallons of treated water used for sprinklers. Artificial turf eliminates all of that. It’s a green choice in more ways than one.

Is Artificial Turf Worth the Cost?

We know that installing residential artificial turf is a bigger upfront cost than buying a bag of grass seed. But you have to look at the big picture.

Think about what you spend on your lawn annually:

• Water bills (especially in summer)
• Fertilizer and weed control treatments
• Gas and oil for the mower
• Aerating and overseeding every fall
• Or paying a landscaping crew $150+ a month



When you add that up over 5 or 10 years, natural grass is incredibly expensive. Artificial turf is a "one and done" cost. Once it’s installed, it’s free to keep. It also adds value to your home. Homebuyers in the Triangle area love seeing a "low maintenance" yard. It’s a huge selling point.
