F.A.Q.
Frequently Asked Questions
It is difficult to quote the price of a project over the phone as there are many additional factors that determine project cost besides the price of our premium synthetic grass. We offer dozens of artificial grass products that differ in color, blade height, quality, purpose, and construction, resulting in differing prices. Installation pricing varies based on factors like access to the installation site, removal requirements, base preparation, number of tree rings, drainage and irrigation particulars, and additional project particulars.
For these reasons, we prefer potential customers schedule an appointment with a ForeverLawn representative to look at the area, take measurements, document installation requirements, explain the differences in our premium turf products, and answer customer questions.
Typically, our ForeverLawn customer service teams at all of our Florida locations can give a standard budgeting range by phone once they have collected enough information, but exact pricing is only provided after an initial free consultation.
Lead times vary depending on a number of factors, some of which we can control and many of which we cannot, like Florida weather or new construction project timelines. It is best to ask the ForeverLawn sales representative the projected lead time prior to signing your proposal and maintaining communication with the scheduling departments at each of our Florida dealer offices.
Installation includes the removal of all organic material (grass, weeds, mulch, leaves, and the like) to approximately three (3) inches below the desired finish height for our premium ForeverLawn synthetic grass products. After a light grading of the dirt surface (if needed), we install our perimeter boards. Following the perimeter boards is the addition and compaction of our prescribed base material, which varies according to project. In fact, a lot of our work is in preparing the area for turf and we spend a large percentage of our time making sure that our base performs that way it is intended to avoid shifting, channeling, recessing or otherwise moving while still maintaining optimum drainability.
Next, we roll out the turf, cut and seam it, and secure it to the perimeter boards. Finally, we broom in a layer of infill material and clean up the area. We take pride in leaving the area as neat or better than when we arrive.
Yes. The amount of work you take on reduces the amount of the overall project cost, but only marginally. Remember, with our products, you are getting synthetic grass that is premium in quality and usually accounts for the majority of the pricing. In some cases, clients can save up to $1/sf by doing all removal and light grading, but the savings varies by project and location. Again, call your local ForeverLawn dealer in Florida to discuss installation options.

The answer is more complicated than you would expect. In order to mobilize our crews and our installation equipment, we have specific built-in costs that need to be covered. Smaller jobs generally come with a higher price per square foot for these reasons. Larger jobs come with economies of scale. We are happy to help install jobs regardless of size; however, we are unable to charge the same per square foot price across all sizes. Again, the best course of action is to call your local ForeverLawn dealer in Florida to discuss your project requirements.

Absolutely. Grass can be installed on inclines or hills, berms, mounds, walls and many other interesting architectural features. We can shape our base materials, incorporate our foam mounds, or use one of several ground grid options to help maintain base shape before we install our synthetic grass to the shape. Discuss your ideas with your representative from one of our ForeverLawn offices in Florida to best coordinate the implementation with our installation team leaders. Our installation experts can also discuss specific maintenance procedures for inclines.
While most of our artificial turf products are warrantied for 10 years, the life span of the grass varies by usage. A residential backyard entertaining area may last more than 15 years while a popular dog park or playground might need replacement after 8-10 years.
Yes. Like most textiles, the artificial turf will begin to lose its resiliency over time, much like your carpet at home. However, ForeverLawn premium products protect against breakdown for longer than most synthetic grass on the market. Our DuPont™ ForeverLawn® Select Synthetic Grass features Memory Fiber™ yarn made with a geometric shape for greater resiliency and with a resin that resists fracturing for long lasting appearance and performance.
Often, regular maintenance can keep your grass looking as good as new, and an occasional refresh can go a long way in boosting your artificial grass. (Contact your local ForeverLawn dealer in Florida to inquire about regular maintenance programs available in the area.) We also carry new innovative products that utilize all-nylon construction to withstand the highest levels of traffic, like our ForeverLawn Fusion line of synthetic grass.
Yes, we can. Important details to focus on when planning an indoor installation include drainage requirements (if any) and proper HVAC system, safety padding requirements, maintenance procedures and purpose of installation. Onsite consultation with a ForeverLawn representative is advisable when considering an indoor installation.

You can find the latest maintenance recommendations in the maintenance section of our website or on the product-specific websites listed below. Here are some of the most common general care suggestions:
• Regular maintenance includes the removal of debris by picking it up, using a blower, raking with a plastic leaf rake or with a power broom.
• Clean up spills by hosing down or rinsing with water. Paint spills or similar mishaps can be cleaned with a cloth and soap and water. If necessary, a mild household cleaner and brush can be used.
• While all of our products are pet-friendly, solid pet waste should be picked up and urine should be rinse periodically – especially outside Florida’s rainy season.

We live in Florida, which hosts a wide variety of creepy crawly insects, so it’s difficult to eliminate pests from your yard. Bugs may wander into the artificial turf to explore, though they rarely (if ever) set up a home in it because there is nothing organic for the insects to feed on or make a home in. With no insects harbored in the turf, their predators are unlikely to stick around when a better food source can be found elsewhere. As an added bonus, our turf products contain none of the allergens found in natural grass.
Mold and mildew are no issue since our fake grass products are comprised of non-absorbing materials with a drainage base specifically designed to direct water away from the grass. A word of caution for Florida GolfGreens owners; sand-filled greens can develop algae over time if not properly maintained, although the turf itself will not. For this reason, we recommend an antimicrobial coated sand product called Envirofill as an alternative infill material.
Of course! ForeverLawn dealers have been installing our premium synthetic grass products in the Sunshine State for more than 10 years. Contact your local Florida ForeverLawn office for a list of installations you can visit.
There is no doubt about it. We can - and have - installed over pavers, concrete, on balconies and rooftops, indoors and many other places where clients have wanted to add a touch of soft green spaces. Every installation is different and has very specific requirements -- from drainage mats and grid products to glue downs and rollouts. Contact your nearest Florida ForeverLawn office to schedule an onsite consultation to determine the best installation method for you.
We often install our premium artificial grass products adjacent to natural grass areas and can make the transition appear very natural. When we install the synthetic grass, we can angle it below the adjacent natural grass area so the two meet at the same natural level.
