Working with us
How much does artificial turf cost?
Every yard prices differently, so we do not quote over the phone or by chat. Square footage, slope, drainage, what is there now and how much base work it needs all move the number. Someone comes out, measures, and gives you a written estimate. That visit is free and there is no pressure attached to it.
Is the estimate really free?
Yes. We come to the property, measure, talk through what you want, and leave you with a number. There is no charge and no obligation. Call or text 512-750-2150 to set one up.
What areas do you serve?
Greater Austin, including Austin, Westlake, Cedar Park, Round Rock, Lakeway. If you are just outside that, call us anyway. We can usually tell you in one phone call whether we can get a crew to you.
Do you offer financing?
Financing is available. Ask when you book the estimate and the office will walk you through the options that fit your project.
Who will actually be doing the work?
Our own crews. Verde Turf is owner run, founded in Austin in 2017, and you deal with the owners rather than a call center. In 2025, 78 percent of our work came from referrals and repeat customers, which is the number we pay the most attention to.
Do you speak Spanish?
Yes. Hablamos espanol. Ask for a Spanish-speaking estimator when you call and we will arrange it.
Artificial turf
Is artificial turf safe for dogs and kids?
Yes. There are no pesticides and no fertilizer, nothing to mow, and no bare muddy patches to track through the house. Pet areas are built to drain and can be rinsed down with a hose.
What happens to the water when it rains?
Water passes through the turf backing into the compacted base underneath and drains away, the same way it would through a lawn. That is why the base is most of the work: an install that drains properly does not puddle, and one that does not was never going to be fixed by the grass on top.
Does it get hot in a Texas summer?
Turf in full sun does warm up more than a natural lawn, the way a patio does. Shade, watering it down, and where the yard sits all make a difference, and the estimator will tell you straight what to expect on your particular lot.
How much maintenance does it need?
No mowing, no watering to keep it green, no seeding, no brown season. Most yards need an occasional rinse and a brush-up in the high traffic spots. We also clean and refresh turf, including turf somebody else installed.
Does it really save water?
Yes. Irrigation is the largest part of most Austin water bills in summer, and a turf lawn needs none of it to stay green. Customers commonly see their outdoor use drop by around half.
Can turf go over concrete or on a balcony?
Often, yes. Patios, balconies and pool decks are regular jobs for us, and they are built up differently from a soil install. What your surface needs is something the estimator confirms on site.
Do you build putting greens?
Yes, putting greens are one of the things we are asked for most, along with pet runs, poolside borders and artificial ivy privacy walls.
How long will the install take?
It depends on the size of the yard and how much base work it needs, so the crew gives you a schedule with the estimate rather than a guess beforehand.
Steel, lighting and rock
What else do you install besides turf?
Custom steel work such as edging, borders, planters, raised beds, privacy screens, tree rings and gates. Low voltage LED landscape, path and accent lighting. Decorative rock, gravel, xeriscape beds, pathways and drainage rock that moves water away from the foundation.
Can you do the whole yard, not just the grass?
That is the usual job. Turf, steel edging, rock beds and lighting are done by one crew on one schedule, which is why the edges line up and the finish matches across the yard.
Why does steel edging matter?
It is the line between the turf, the beds and the rock. Made-to-fit steel holds that line for years, which is the difference between an install that still looks sharp and one that has blurred at the edges.
What is the current lighting offer?
There is a promotion running that adds landscape and accent lighting to qualifying installs. The lighting page has the current terms, and the team will confirm whether your project qualifies when they come out.
