Turf performs when the base performs

Our artificial turf installations focus on excavation, grading, compaction, drainage, seams, edges and infill—not simply placing turf over the ground. This produces a cleaner surface with better stability and water movement.

Designed for pets and South Carolina rain

Fast-draining bases, permeable backing and odor-control infill options help keep pet areas cleaner and reduce mud. Fencing and drainage can be incorporated into one coordinated installation.

Our artificial-turf installation process

Evaluate the site. We review access, existing surfaces, drainage, intended use and transitions.
Excavate and shape. Existing material is removed to create room for the base and finished turf elevation.
Build and compact the base. Aggregate is placed, graded and compacted to create stability and water movement.
Fit the turf. Grain direction, seams, perimeter cuts and edges are planned for a clean appearance.
Finish for the application. Infill, brushing and final details are selected for pets, play, putting or general landscaping.

What affects artificial-turf pricing?

Project size is only one factor. Access, excavation depth, disposal, drainage, number of seams, curved edges, turf selection, pet-use requirements and surrounding hardscape all affect the completed price. An on-site estimate allows us to price the full installation instead of quoting only the visible turf.

Is artificial turf suitable for dogs?

Yes. Pet-focused systems can combine permeable turf, a fast-draining base and odor-control infill. The surrounding grade and cleaning access also matter.

Can artificial turf be installed beside a pool?

Yes. Pool-surround turf can provide a clean, low-mud surface. Edges, drainage and transitions to concrete or pavers must be planned carefully.

Do you install custom putting greens?

Yes. Turf Dogs installs putting surfaces with shaped contours, cups, fringe options and surrounding landscape integration.
