Specialized Turf Services FAQ

What makes a turf project "specialized"?

Specialized turf projects involve challenging conditions that standard installation methods can't handle. This includes steep slopes, contaminated soils, extreme environmental conditions, unique site requirements, or the need for custom grass blends. These projects require advanced expertise, specialized equipment, and often custom solutions.

How much do specialized turf services cost?

Specialized project costs vary significantly based on complexity, site conditions, and required solutions. Projects typically range from $1.50-$5.00+ per square foot depending on requirements. We provide detailed assessments and quotes after evaluating your specific situation. Many specialized projects qualify for environmental incentives or grants.

Can you install sod on slopes steeper than 30 degrees?

Yes, we specialize in slope installations up to 45 degrees using reinforced sod systems, geotextiles, and specialized track equipment. Our crews are rope-access certified for extreme slope work. We also use deep-rooted grass varieties and soil anchoring systems to ensure long-term stability and erosion control.

Do you create custom grass blends for specific conditions?

Absolutely. We develop custom grass blends based on your site's specific requirements including soil type, climate conditions, intended use, and maintenance preferences. Our agronomists select and test varieties to create optimal blends. We can also source rare or specialty varieties for unique applications.

How long do specialized installations take?

Specialized projects typically take longer than standard installations due to complexity. Small projects may take 3-7 days, while large or complex projects can take 2-6 weeks. We provide detailed timelines during planning and often work in phases to minimize disruption. Weather and site access can affect schedules.

Do you offer warranties on specialized installations?

Yes, we provide comprehensive warranties on specialized installations, typically ranging from 90 days to 2 years depending on project complexity and conditions. Our warranties cover establishment, performance to specifications, and structural integrity. We also provide ongoing monitoring and maintenance programs for critical applications.

What environmental benefits do specialized turf projects provide?

Specialized turf installations provide significant environmental benefits including erosion prevention, stormwater management, air quality improvement, carbon sequestration, habitat creation, and soil remediation. Many projects contribute to LEED certification, environmental compliance, and sustainability goals. We can document environmental impact for reporting purposes.
