Artificial Turf & Synthetic Grass Installation in Ontario

Artificial turf installation in Ontario typically ranges from $8 to $24+ per square foot installed, depending on turf grade, site preparation requirements, and project type. Residential backyard turf starts around $1–$23/sq ft; premium and pet-friendly options run $1–$28/sq ft; putting greens, playground turf with certified underpadding, and sports fields start at $14/sq ft and up. We provide free site visits and written quotes for every project — same-day response guaranteed.

Premium artificial turf installed professionally lasts 15–20 years in Ontario's climate. Our products are UV-stabilized (won't fade or yellow), and freeze-thaw resistant — the fibres remain flexible through Canadian winters. All installations come with a 15-year workmanship warranty on materials and labour; turf products carry manufacturer warranties of up to 15 years.

Yes. We use lead-free, non-toxic turf fibres throughout. For pet areas, we use antimicrobial zeolite infill that neutralizes odour and inhibits bacteria growth. For playground installations, we use ASTM F1292-certified shock-absorbing underpadding that meets Critical Fall Height standards. All products we supply comply with Canadian safety regulations.

Yes. Our artificial turf systems drain at over 30 litres per square metre per hour — far exceeding natural rain intensity in Ontario. The turf backing has perforated drainage holes, and below the turf we install a compacted aggregate base specifically graded for drainage. The result: no puddles, no waterlogging, and a surface that's usable within minutes of heavy rain.

Artificial turf performs exceptionally well in Canadian winters. The synthetic fibres do not freeze, crack, or degrade. Snow can be cleared with a plastic shovel or left to melt naturally — the surface is immediately usable once snow is gone. We specify cold-flexible fibres and drainage systems designed for Ontario freeze-thaw cycles and spring melt volumes.

A standard residential backyard turf installation typically takes 1–3 days. Larger projects — sports fields, commercial areas — take longer, sometimes 1–2 weeks. Timeline depends on excavation depth, drainage complexity, access conditions, and square footage. We provide a detailed schedule with your written quote.

Very little. Brush the fibres every 2–3 months with a stiff broom or turf brush to keep them upright. Rinse with a garden hose occasionally to remove dust and pollen. For pet areas, a weekly rinse is recommended. Remove leaves and organic debris as needed. In winter, remove heavy snow with a plastic shovel. That's it — no mowing, watering, fertilizing, or reseeding ever again.

Both are possible. We supply premium artificial turf by the roll for DIY installation on our artificial turf sale page. However, professional installation is strongly recommended — proper base preparation and drainage engineering are critical for longevity and performance. Poorly prepared base causes uneven surfaces, drainage problems, and premature turf failure. Our professional installation comes with a 15-year workmanship warranty.

Standard polyethylene turf can warm up in direct summer sun — a common question. We address this by selecting products with lighter-coloured thatch fibres that absorb less heat, and by recommending our customers rinse the turf briefly with water on hot days to cool the surface. For play areas and putting greens, we can specify products with heat-reduction technology. In shaded areas, heat retention is not an issue.

Modern artificial turf consists of synthetic fibres — typically polyethylene (for softness and realism), nylon (for putting greens and sports surfaces requiring hardness), or polypropylene (for decorative use). Fibres are tufted into a backing made of polyurethane or latex. Infill materials — silica sand, crumb rubber, or zeolite — are spread between fibres to provide stability, weight, and performance characteristics specific to each application.

Absolutely — this is one of artificial turf's biggest advantages over natural grass. Natural grass dies in shaded areas. Artificial grass performs identically in full sun and full shade. We install synthetic turf under tree canopies, covered patios, and north-facing areas where natural lawn would never survive.

Yes — custom home and commercial putting greens are one of our specialties. We use nylon-based turf with precise stimp characteristics, design multi-cup layouts, add fringe turf and optional bordering, and can incorporate slopes and undulations. See our putting green turf page for more details and project examples.

Yes. We serve the entire Greater Toronto Area and Ontario — including Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Burlington, Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, Hamilton, Barrie, Newmarket, and surrounding communities. Contact us to confirm service in your specific area.

Artificial turf eliminates lawn watering (saving 50,000–100,000+ litres per year per average lawn), removes the need for gas-powered mowing, and eliminates fertilizer and pesticide runoff. Over its 15–20 year lifespan, it's significantly more resource-efficient than a maintained natural lawn. At end of life, our turf products are recyclable — we can advise on local recycling options in Ontario.

Yes. Every installation by Perfect Yard Landscape comes with a 15-year workmanship warranty covering materials and labour. If any installation-related issue arises within 15 years, we return and rectify it at no cost. Turf products themselves carry manufacturer warranties of up to 15 years against UV fading, delamination, and fibre defects.
