Landscape Turf Suppliers FAQs
Artificial turf can seem like a winner; an easy option that delivers a decent appearance and feel with no lawn mowing or watering required. As professional landscapers, some of your clients might be tempted by the seemingly lower price and maintenance requirements of the artificial option. But there’s a deal of hidden costs and other drawbacks that are important to keep in mind.
Installing professional-grade synthetic turf entails proper base preparation, often carrying a higher upfront cost than natural landscape turf. While low maintenance, artificial grass still requires regular upkeep, including brushing, cleaning, and topping up the infill layer. It can also deteriorate over time, especially in high-traffic zones, where seams may split or surfaces become compacted.
Despite some brands’ claims around reflecting sunlight, most synthetic turf products absorb and retain heat. This creates a heat buildup effect during the day — up to 40 degrees hotter than natural turf at ground level. This is an important factor to consider, especially in this era of rising temperatures.
As a plastic product, it’s manufactured using petrochemicals, contributing to long-term environmental harm. In addition to the energy-intensive production process, artificial turf often contains microplastics that can break down and enter surrounding soil and waterways. Installation requires chemical-based adhesives and infill materials, which may leach harmful substances into the ground over time. These factors make it a far less environmentally sound option compared to natural grass, especially when considered at scale.
Natural turf remains the premium option for landscaping professionals who want results head and shoulders above the rest. It delivers natural cooling, improves soil health and creates outdoor spaces that shape how people relax, gather and play. Unlike synthetic alternatives, which degrade over time and often require full replacement, natural lawn responds to care and continues to thrive decades into the future. For landscapers, this also encourages ongoing lawn maintenance and care programs, helping to build repeat business and long-term client relationships.

While growing from seed might seem cheaper upfront, it’s often a false economy for commercial or high-use landscape projects and is generally not a viable alternative to instant turf. The initial saving on materials is frequently offset by higher long-term costs in labour, resources and weed control.
Establishing turf from seed is a slow process, taking anywhere from 6 to 12 weeks for the lawn to become usable. Seeded lawns are also more vulnerable to weeds, erosion and pest damage during establishment, requiring ongoing attention and resources and higher overall cost. Furthermore, the need to restrict access is a major drawback; to protect delicate new shoots, the area must be completely closed off to all foot traffic, machinery and pets for several weeks, which is often impractical on active job sites or public spaces. The final result can also be patchy and inconsistent, which can compromise the quality and appearance of your project.
A related method, hydroseeding (spraying a slurry of seed, mulch, and fertiliser), is sometimes considered. However, despite the different application technique, it shares the same fundamental drawbacks: a long establishment period where the site is unusable and high vulnerability to weeds, pests, and erosion from heavy rain.
