Where can I buy Waterless Grass?
A full range of quality synthetic grass products is available direct from Waterless Grass. You can order online by going to "Ordering",
or should you require additional assistance please go to "Contact Us".
Can I install Waterless Grass myself?
Yes, for basic instructions go to "Install Instructions".
Overall, it really isn't that difficult to install, as it's similar to doing
some landscaping yourself. Since most of us don't care to do our own landscaping (or even paint our own homes for that matter) we recommend that you have a Trained Professional Waterless Grass Dealer perform your installation for you.
| Options |
1) Install-it-Yourself |
or |
2) Have it Installed by one of our Trained Professional Waterless Grass Dealers |
We are in our early stage of high growth, so we may not always have a Waterless Grass Dealer in your area available for a professional installation. However, most local landscapers can assist you with your installation (should you not want to Install-it-Yourself) by following our easy Installation Instructions that come with each turf order.
How much does Waterless Grass cost?
Prices for all styles of Waterless Grass lawn turf are listed in "Ordering", but on the average Waterless Grass costs $1.90 - $3.90 per square foot for the material itself. Professional installations including all labor, sub-base materials, etc., generally can
average $4 - $10/per square foot for lawn turf depending on a variety of factors (i.e.,
size, complexity, location, accessibility, existing turf, etc.). Mirage Putting Greens
installations average $9 - $16/per square foot due to the work required to build a putting
green with breaks, undulations, cups, etc.
Often it's more economically efficient (not to mention your own time) to use synthetic grass instead of real grass. Depending on your local area circumstances (costs of: sod, irrigation, mowing, chemicals, watering, and fertilizing) payback periods of synthetic turf average 3-8 years, compared to that of real grass.
Where can Waterless Grass be installed?
Virtually anywhere that natural grass is able to grow!
It can also be installed in any area that natural grass can't grow (ex: desert areas and extreme cold climates)! All you need is a fairly level surface with a porous base that will allow the rainwater to seep into the ground through the perforated holes in the backing of the lawn grass. Since most of the rainwater drains directly through the turf, it is not necessary to "crown" your surface.
What holds the turf down?
The turfs own weight will usually be enough (approx 1/2 lb per sq ft), but some infill is required to help the fibers stand up naturally to help prevent "matting", and this infill will additionally assist in weighing the turf down so it doesn't shift or move. A combination of sand and rubber infill seems to be the most popular. Many prefer the "soft" feel of rubber granual infill where use is greatest, and sand infill (it's less expensive) for those lawn areas less frequently used.
How is Waterless Grass Turf different from other synthetic turf?
Our turf fibers have been manufactured to resemble real grass. The turf fibers have been curled and spring-set to help prevent "matting" over time. The fiber component consists of UV protected "polyethylene," which is the softest fiber component in the industry. There has been extensive research and development to get these advanced fibers to the point they are today. Please refer to the section labeled "Product Info" for additional Product information.
How long will my Waterless Grass Turf last and how well does the Turf hold up to all outdoor environments and will it fade?
Our turf is assembled using the finest UV treated polyethylene, water resistant fibers.
Waterless Grass turf carries a 5 year limited warranty against excessive wear, fading, and sun. With basic customer care and the application of our annual UV enhancement treatment, your Waterless Grass turf can last 10 years or more. Please refer to the section labeled "Product Info" for additional Product information.
Is the Waterless Grass Turf maintenance free?
When was the last time you owned something that was totally "maintenance free"? Waterless Grass Turf is "hassle-free". Waterless Grass Turf is as maintenance free as it gets! Once installed, just keep the leaves and debris off the surface. If you see any weeds, just spray or pull them, as you would with your real grass lawn. At the end of "Installation Instructions" you will find a section that outlines the basic maintenance procedures for Waterless Grass to aid you in keeping your Waterless Grass beautiful for years to come!!
How do you keep your Waterless Grass clean?
Leaves/Pets, etc...
It's simple, just like regular grass. Use a rake or blower to clean up the leaves. To remove animal feces, scoop it up and wash the area with a garden hose, like you would with real grass. Urine flows through just like rainwater. Waterless Grass actually makes a great dog run area! With every turf purchase we will send an "Owners Manual" to help you keep your new Waterless Grass yard looking good throughout its life.
What happens when it rains or snows?
During the manufacturing process, our turf is specifically perforated with holes engineered to accommodate the normal drainage requirements of rain and snowstorms. The water simply drains through the small drainage holes into the ground. The sand and rubber infill will help to absorb and hold the water which will eventually drain through. During heavy rains some water will run off the top of the surface just as it would with natural grass or dirt. This actually is a big advantage over rock, since the infill will allow for evaporation, while the perforated holes allow for vertical drainage, compared to that of rock alone.
Mold & Flammability?
Fire: Generally speaking, the turf is much less flammable than live natural grass (and many times less flammable than dead natural grass). The sand and rubber infill also helps to prevent a fire from spreading, and can often extinguish a fire.
Mold: Natural grass will support the growth of mold more than synthetic grass.
Why should I install a Waterless Grass lawn?
Real grass lawns are not only expensive, but they require irrigation and weekly maintenance, such as: mowing, watering, fertilizing, thatching, weeding, edging, chemical pesticides, and winter over-seeding. Waterless Grass lawns save you these expenses and hassles!
Can Waterless Grass Turf be sculptured around walkways, pools, plants, or trees?
Yes, just like real sod grass.
What size or shape can the Waterless Grass be constructed?
Just about any size or shape can be easily constructed.
Can you walk on the Waterless Grass Turf?
Yes, just like any real grass yard. Our special shock absorbing backing, coupled with the spring action memory designed fiber, makes our Waterless Grass surface very resilient. Our fibers are strong, smooth, soft, and forgiving.
Can your kids play on the Waterless Grass Turf?
Yes, just like a real lawn, but whether the grass is real or synthetic, safety when children are playing should be everyone's first concern. Although Waterless Grass may feel and seem softer than real grass, we are not marketing this product for safety issues, but for the beauty and maintenance savings issues of Waterless Grass compared to that of real grass.
Is the Waterless Grass Turf the same style synthetic turf that you see installed on patios, as indoor/outdoor carpet?
No, absolutely not. Indoor/outdoor turf is usually installed as a glue down on a cement pad and their fibers are short and not very dense. This style of turf grass does not look very realistic, it is shiny and does not last very long in hostile climates.
Our product looks like real grass!!!
How can I become a Waterless Grass Dealer?
It's easy - - just go to the Dealership Info tab (above). If you've always wanted to be your own boss and own your own business, now you can be part of this booming industry, and you can get in on the ground floor. The market is in its "infancy stage" and it has unlimited potential in all areas of the Country, and World!!!
