Artificial Turf in Southlake, TX: Always-Green Lawns for Real Life

ree

Southlake families want curb appeal without the weekly maintenance. At Designer Exteriors, we install premium, American-made artificial turf that looks like real grass, stays cool, drains correctly, and holds up to kids, pets, and Texas weather.


Why Turf Works So Well in Southlake

  • Heat & drought: Turf stays green through triple-digit temps with no watering.

  • HOA/ARC friendly: Clean, consistent appearance; we provide samples, specs, and plans for approvals in communities like Timarron, Carillon, and Clariden Ranch.

  • Pet & kid approved: Soft, even surface; no mud, no brown spots, fewer allergens.

  • Low maintenance: Ditch mowing, fertilizing, and weekly lawn service.



What’s in a Quality Turf System (Done Right)

  • Base prep: Proper excavation, compacted aggregate base to prevent waves or settling.

  • Drainage layer: Engineered for fast runoff—great for storms and around pool decks.

  • Turf product: UV-stable blades with realistic thatch; heat-resistant options available.

  • Infill: Silica sand or cooling infills for softer feel + temperature control.

  • Edges & seams: Hidden stakes + seam tape so everything stays tight and invisible.



Smart Layouts for Southlake Homes

  • Front-yard curb appeal: Perfect, stripe-free green that looks freshly cut year-round.

  • Backyard play & pet zones: Durable surfaces that hose clean in minutes.

  • Pool surrounds: No clippings in the water, no mud, and less slip when dry.

  • Between pavers: Razor-clean strips for a modern, geometric look.

  • Side yards & courtyards: Turn neglected space into a tidy, usable pass-through.


Pro tip: Pair turf with gravel bands or steel/stone edging to keep lines crisp and help with drainage after big storms.


Turf vs. Natural Grass (At a Glance)

  • Water: Turf uses ~0 gal vs. thousands per season.

  • Chemicals: No fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides needed.

  • Wear & tear: Turf resists pet spots, shade issues, and heavy foot traffic.

  • Upkeep: Occasional rinse + quick broom/leaf blower—that’s it.



Care & Maintenance (Super Simple)

  • Rinse high-use areas occasionally.

  • Broom/leaf blow to stand fibers back up.

  • Pet cleanup: Scoop + rinse; optional enzyme for odor control.

  • Annual check: Infill top-off and quick seam/edge inspection.
