If you're a homeowner or business owner in Central Florida looking to elevate your outdoor living experience, artificial turf is a smart, modern alternative to natural grass. While some may hesitate to make the switch, synthetic turf provides consistent beauty, unmatched durability, and an effortless maintenance routine—making it especially well-suited for Florida’s heat, humidity, and unpredictable weather. It delivers the lush, green look you want without the constant upkeep natural lawns demand.
Beyond aesthetics, artificial turf offers numerous long-term advantages. It’s environmentally friendly, conserving thousands of gallons of water a year while eliminating the need for fertilizers or pesticides. It also stands up to heavy use, resists fading, and remains vibrant in every season. By choosing artificial turf, you invest in a cost-effective, hassle-free outdoor space that enhances your property value and creates a clean, attractive landscape you’ll enjoy for years to come.
Reduces water use and eliminates irrigation, helping lower utility costs.
No mowing, watering, or fertilizing—just an occasional rinse or sweep.
UV-resistant turf withstands pets, heavy traffic, and harsh weather without fading.
Stays green year-round with no brown patches, mud, or pests.
Higher upfront cost, but long-term savings on water and lawn maintenance.
Synthetic grass isn't just for replacing your entire front lawn. It is a highly versatile, problem-solving material perfect for areas of your property where natural grass constantly struggles to grow or creates a muddy mess. At Citrus Landscape Solutions, we install specialized turf tailored to your specific lifestyle.
Say goodbye to muddy paws and yellow patches. Our specialized pet turf features a highly permeable backing that allows urine to drain instantly, preventing puddles and bacteria buildup. We utilize durable, short-blade synthetic grass paired with antimicrobial infill to neutralize odors, creating a safe, clean, and dig-proof environment for your furry friends.
Natural grass around a swimming pool means a constant battle with grass clippings in your skimmer and muddy footprints on your deck. Artificial turf provides a clean, slip-resistant surface that is completely immune to the damaging effects of chlorine and saltwater splashing. It keeps your pool deck immaculate and provides a soft, resort-style lounging area.
Transform your backyard into a golfer's paradise. We design and install custom, professional-grade putting greens that mimic the true roll and speed of country club greens. Complete with chipping fringes, custom undulations, and strategically placed cups, our synthetic golf greens provide endless entertainment for family and friends right outside your back door.
Natural sod requires hours of direct sunlight to thrive, leaving the areas under mature oak trees or along narrow side-yards looking patchy and barren. Likewise, children's play areas often get trampled into hard dirt. Artificial turf provides a permanently lush, green carpet in the darkest corners of your yard and holds up flawlessly under heavy playground foot traffic.
Simply unrolling synthetic grass over your existing dirt will lead to wrinkles, weed growth, and massive drainage failures during a Florida rainstorm. We build a highly engineered, multi-layer foundation to ensure your turf remains flawless and drains perfectly for decades.
We start by removing 3 to 4 inches of your existing topsoil, grass, and root systems. We then grade the raw dirt for proper water runoff and install a heavy-duty, commercial-grade weed barrier to prevent native Florida weeds from pushing up through the drainage holes.
We bring in crushed aggregate stone and distribute it evenly across the excavated area. Using a vibratory plate compactor, we pack this base layer down tightly. This creates a smooth, level, and highly porous foundation that supports heavy weight while allowing rainwater to pass right through.
We roll out the premium turf, carefully cutting it to hug the exact contours of your garden beds, patios, and walkways. Where two rolls meet, we use industrial-grade seaming tape and weather-resistant adhesives to lock the pieces together, making the seam virtually invisible to the naked eye.
To protect the backing from UV rays and keep the grass blades standing tall, we distribute a specialized infill (such as rounded silica sand or antimicrobial coated sand) across the surface. We use a motorized power brush to work this infill deep into the fibers, leaving your new lawn looking incredibly full and natural.
