Artificial Turf Options

Landscaping Turf
MOST POPULAR
Court perimeter
Clean, natural-looking coverage for the strips between court and fence, around light pole bases and along the path to the gate, the spots where grass dies from foot traffic and a mower cannot reach. Installed over a compacted crushed-granite base graded so water still runs away from the slab, and edged tight to the concrete so nothing lifts.
Pet Turf
Antimicrobial + zeolite infill
Designed for drainage and durability. Resists odor, handles heavy use, and stays clean with minimal upkeep.
Play Turf
Foam shock pad
Short-pile putting turf on a shaped base with real break, fringe turf around the edge and cups set in the base. A 300 to 600 square foot green fits beside most courts and uses the crew and equipment already on site. Green speed is set by fiber and infill and we roll it to your preference before we leave.
Putting Green Turf
Purpose-built for short game practice. Custom shapes, multiple hole layouts, and realistic roll built into the install.
Turf + Pavers
Pavers between patio and court with turf ribbons between them, or a paver walkway to the gate with turf on both sides. Both sit on the same compacted base so nothing settles differently. The finish most clients choose when they want the yard to read as landscape, not as a sports facility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is artificial turf used for?

Artificial turf is used for lawns, pet areas, putting greens, play areas, poolside landscaping, side yards that will not grow grass, and the space around a sport court. It stays green year-round, needs no mowing or watering, and holds up to heavy foot traffic. Around a court, turf gives you a clean edge, keeps mud off the surface, and covers ground that construction disturbed. Modern turf comes in many blade heights and colors, so it looks natural rather than like a carpet. We install turf across Austin as a standalone project or with a court.

 

Austin’s water restrictions and rocky, thin soil push many homeowners toward turf, especially on the west side where grass struggles.

Yes, when it is installed the right way. Pet turf uses a fully perforated backing that drains fast (30 inches per hour or more) so urine passes through instead of pooling. We pair it with an antimicrobial or zeolite infill that controls odor and bacteria. Solid waste picks up easily and the area rinses clean with a hose. Dogs cannot dig holes or create mud patches, so the yard stays clean year-round. For Austin pet areas we also recommend a cooling infill so paws stay comfortable in summer.

 

Austin’s dry heat keeps pet turf drier and fresher, but surface temperature is the concern. Cooling infill is worth the upgrade.

Far less than natural grass. There is no mowing, watering, fertilizing, or weeding. Blow or rake off leaves and debris now and then, rinse the turf when it gets dusty, and brush high-traffic areas a couple of times a year so the blades stand up. Pet areas get an occasional enzyme cleaner. Quality turf installed on a proper base lasts 10 to 15 years in Austin with this light care. Compared to the cost of water, mowing, and lawn service, most homeowners come out ahead within a few years.

 

Oak pollen and leaves in Austin are the main chore. A blower during spring is all it takes.

Yes, and it is one of the most popular turf uses in Austin. Turf around a pool gives a clean, modern look, stays green, and drains splash water quickly through a perforated backing so there is no mud or puddles. It is softer underfoot than concrete and does not track grass clippings into the pool. Chlorine and salt water do not harm quality turf. We do recommend a cooling infill or a lighter blade color for full-sun pool decks, because any surface gets hot in Texas summer.

 

Austin’s limestone pool decks pair well with turf. A cooling infill keeps the surface comfortable on 100-degree days.

Yes. Build My Courts designs and installs custom backyard putting greens in Austin. We build on a compacted base, use a dense putting-grade turf that rolls true, and can shape breaks and undulations into the green so it plays like a real course. Fringe turf, chipping areas, bunkers, and multiple cups are all options. A typical residential green runs 300 to 800 square feet and takes a few days to install. It needs no water or mowing and holds up in Texas heat.

 

Austin’s rock makes base prep more work, but the result is a green that never settles or shifts.
