Factors to Consider When Selecting a San Diego Turf Company - Home - Landscaping

The concept of installing synthetic or artificial turf is becoming more widely accepted an idea for homeowners in San Diego County. People used to have visions of funny looking and feeling astro turf which resembled more like green concrete, but these days the San Diego turf technology has become increasingly realistic looking and feeling.

There are also residents considering artificial turf who are currently maintaining their natural front and back yards. Real grass can be many times difficult to maintain, manage, feed, weed and water. Throughout San Diego County, where the various water districts such as Vallecitos or Helix are limiting the consumer's use of water, artificial turf is becoming an increasingly positive option.

Other benefits to installing synthetic turf include the lack of pesticide use, making it a good choice for those who are more environmentally conscious. Because the turf material tends to be made of recycled materials, and doesn't have any nutrients normally appealing to bugs and critters like rabbits, you won't have to battle these natural elements anymore in your yard.

If you go online or open the various home improvement magazines distributed in San Diego you will notice quite a lot of San Diego turf companies promising to install the best lawn at your home with the best quality materials and the lowest price. Don't be fooled by low prices and installers who are not only not qualified to make a proper installation, but oftentimes aren't even technically hired by the company. Many companies either use subcontractors or even day workers picked up locally in different neighborhoods of San Diego.

As you do your homework, make sure the companies you are considering are licensed, bonded, and insured for your maximum protection. They should also carry a contractor's license issued by the State of California allowing them to perform work specifically as it relates to the handling and installation of synthetic turf. Don't trust contractors with general licenses or licenses which have nothing to do with that specific industry.

It is also a good idea to request multiple residential locations where a specific company has made installations so you can see the quality and end product. If you visit an installation made some time ago, you can see how it holds up over a longer period of time. it is a good idea to review and speak with references as well as checking in with the San Diego Better Business Bureau to ensure there are no outstanding claims on a company and to make sure you are dealing with a reputable company.
