Artificial Grass for GTA Backyards
Transform your backyard into a lush, low-maintenance outdoor space with premium artificial grass from Toronto Turf Pros. We serve homeowners across the GTA.
Benefits of Artificial Grass for Your GTA Backyard
More homeowners across Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton, Markham and surrounding communities are choosing artificial grass. Here’s why it makes sense for GTA backyards.
1. No Mowing, Watering or Fertilizing
Say goodbye to weekend lawn chores. Artificial grass stays green and full year-round without mowing, watering or applying chemicals. You save money on equipment, water bills and lawn care services every season.
2. Looks Great All Year Long
GTA winters are tough on natural grass. Artificial turf stays lush through snow, ice, spring mud season and summer heat, giving your backyard a manicured look no matter what the weather brings.
3. Safe for Kids and Pets
Our turf products are free from harmful pesticides and fertilizers, making them a safer surface for children and pets to play on. The cushioned backing also helps reduce the impact from falls during outdoor play.
4. Excellent Drainage
Toronto’s wet springs and summer downpours are no match for our high-permeability turf systems. Water drains quickly through the base, eliminating puddles and muddy patches that ruin natural lawns.
5. Long-Term Cost Savings
While the upfront investment is higher than seeding a lawn, the long-term savings are substantial. No irrigation costs, no landscaping fees, and no annual reseeding. Quality artificial turf lasts 15 to 20 years with minimal upkeep.
6. Adds Value to Your Property
A professionally installed artificial grass backyard enhances curb appeal and outdoor living space, which can increase your home’s resale value. Buyers appreciate a beautiful, maintenance-free yard.
Toronto Turf Pros’ Backyard Installation Process
Every backyard turf installation by Toronto Turf Pros follows a proven process to ensure a flawless, long-lasting result. From initial consultation through to final walkthrough, our GTA team handles every detail. Curious what a project runs? Our guide to artificial grass cost in Toronto breaks down the pricing, and many homeowners pair a backyard lawn with pet-friendly turf for the dog or a low-maintenance backyard putting green.
Step 1: Free On-Site Consultation
We start with a free visit to your property anywhere in the GTA. Our team measures your backyard, discusses your goals, and walks you through turf product options. We’ll also identify any drainage or grading considerations upfront so there are no surprises during installation.
Step 2: Site Preparation
We remove existing grass, weeds and debris, then grade the soil for proper drainage. A weed barrier is laid down to prevent unwanted growth from coming through. This groundwork is critical to the long-term performance of your new turf.
Step 3: Base Layer Installation
We install a compacted crushed stone base that provides stability, drainage and a firm, even surface for the turf to sit on. The base depth is tailored to your specific backyard conditions and intended use.
Step 4: Turf Laying and Seaming
We roll out your chosen artificial grass, cut each section precisely and join seams invisibly. Our installation crew pays close attention to blade direction and edge alignment so the finished result looks completely natural.
Step 5: Infill and Brushing
A layer of silica sand or crumb rubber infill is spread evenly across the turf to keep the blades upright, add cushioning and improve durability. The surface is then power-brushed to give the turf a full, natural appearance.
Step 6: Final Walkthrough
We clean up the site completely and walk through the finished installation with you. We cover basic maintenance tips and make sure you’re fully happy before we leave. Your new backyard is ready to enjoy immediately.
Backyard Turf FAQs
How much does artificial grass cost for a GTA backyard?
Most backyard installs across the GTA run between $4,000 and $15,000, which usually works out to about $10 to $25 per square foot installed. The final number depends on the size of the yard, the turf grade you choose, and how much old sod and clay we excavate. We measure on-site and give a free, fixed quote before any work starts.
How long does a backyard turf lawn last?
A professionally installed backyard lawn lasts 15 to 20 years, and often longer with light care. We back every installation with a 10-year warranty on materials and workmanship, so the surface stays flat, green and draining for the long term.
Is artificial grass safe for kids and pets in the backyard?
Yes. Our turf is lead-free, non-toxic and drains quickly, so there is no mud, no pesticides and no bare patches from play or dogs. For homes with dogs we tune the base and infill for drainage and odour control, the same way we do on a dedicated pet-friendly turf install.
Do you remove the existing lawn before installing turf?
Yes. We strip the existing sod and weeds, then excavate and compact a crushed stone base graded to drain. Laying turf straight over an old lawn is the most common reason a backyard install ripples and puddles, so the groundwork is where most of the job happens.
How long does a backyard installation take?
Most residential backyards are finished in one to three days once we begin, depending on the size of the area and site access. Tight downtown lots where materials are carried by hand take a little longer than open suburban yards, and we confirm the timeline with you at the on-site quote.
