Artificial turf and playground installations, built to last in Alabama.
Quality Turf Install is a Houston-based turf and playground installer expanding into Alabama. From our Alabaster base we serve schools, daycares, churches, HOAs, parks and homeowners within 100 miles.
Commercial first. Homeowners always welcome.
Most of our Alabama work is for organizations that need safe, durable play and sports surfaces. We bring the same care to backyards.
Everything from the base up
Every surface starts with a properly graded, compacted base. That is what keeps turf flat, seams tight and water moving off the site.
Commercial
Schools, daycares, churches, HOAs, parks, gyms and businesses
Playground turf
Cushioned playground turf over ASTM/IPEMA certified 2-inch padding, for schools, daycares, churches and parks.
Poured-in-place rubber (PIP)
A 4-inch compacted base, a 2-inch rubber base layer and a color layer. Seamless, ADA-friendly and built for heavy use.
Playground mulch
Cedar, colored or rubber mulch with 12-inch borders and ADA access built in.
Sports fields
Synthetic turf for football, soccer, baseball and softball fields, practice areas and multi-use fields.
Pickleball courts
Compacted rock base, a concrete slab and acrylic color coats. New courts and resurfacing.
Tennis courts
A 6-inch reinforced slab with cushioned or standard acrylic surfacing, plus resurfacing of existing courts.
Residential
Backyards, front yards, pets and play
Artificial lawns
Full front and back yards on a fully compacted, permeable 1/2-inch grade aggregate base. No mowing, no mud, no bare spots.
Pet-friendly turf
100% permeable white backing with Envirofill infill, so rain and pet waste drain straight through.
Backyard sports
Batting cages, pitching areas and small soccer fields on durable sports turf.
Honest work. Premium materials. Warranties that last.
Artificial turf is only as good as the installation under it. Many installers cut corners with a cheap base, thin infill and short labor warranties, and the problems show up a year or two later as low spots, poor drainage and seams that pull apart. We do every job right the first time and put it in writing.
You can't beat our quality of install. That's our guarantee, at a competitive price.
10-year edge and seam warranty
We guarantee no gapping at the edges or seams for 10 years. Many installers stop at 1 to 3 years of labor coverage. We stand behind our work far longer.
5-year installation warranty
Our labor on the rest of the installation is covered for 5 years. If something we built isn't right, we come back and make it right.
No cheap materials, ever
From turf to base to infill, we use quality materials only. Every install sits on a 1/2-inch grade aggregate base, fully compacted and permeable, never bank sand, recycled concrete or fillers that hold water.
2 lbs of infill per square foot
Guaranteed on every turf install. The right amount of infill keeps the blades standing, protects the backing and helps your turf last.
15-year manufacturer warranty
Every turf product we install carries a 15-year manufacturer warranty against fading and wear, on top of our own labor warranties.
Honest, upfront, family
No shortcuts and no surprises. You get a written, itemized quote, the owner is hands-on from start to finish, and our clients become family.
Quality pricing for a quality install
Your price depends on the type of turf you want, how big your layout is, how much excavation is needed and whether it's a brand-new build. We'll talk all of that through during a site walkthrough for your project, then give you a written, itemized quote. A typical yard takes about a week, and small jobs take 1 to 2 days.
What goes into every install
- Demo and full excavation. We remove the old grass and soil before any base goes in.
- 1/2-inch grade aggregate base, fully compacted and permeable. Water moves through fast, and we guarantee it.
- 2 lbs of infill per square foot, guaranteed. Silica sand on regular lawns, Envirofill on pet turf. It stands the blades up, keeps the turf cooler and helps it drain.
- Tucked and nailed edges. A lot of installers staple turf to bender board, and over time it pulls away. Tucking and nailing every edge is why we can back our edges and seams for 10 years.
- High-end turf and a quality weed barrier. We never use cheap turf, a cheap weed barrier, bank sand, recycled concrete or fillers.
What affects your price
- Infill. Regular residential turf uses silica sand, which costs less. Pet turf uses Envirofill.
- The turf you choose. We'll show you options and explain the difference in look, feel and durability.
- Pets. Pet turf costs more because it uses a 100% permeable, all-draining white backing and Envirofill infill, which has built-in antimicrobial protection to help prevent mold, fungus, bacteria and odors from dog urine and waste.
- Putting greens. Greens cost more because they take more labor and time to shape, seam and finish so they roll true.
If you're looking for the cheapest price, we're not the company for you.
Some installers win jobs with low prices by skipping insurance, cutting corners and using cheap materials, and it shows a year or two later. We are insured, we don't take shortcuts and we use quality materials from the base to the turf to the infill. That's what separates Quality Turf Install from other companies.
The same standards we build to in Houston, now in Alabama
Same company, same owner-led crew, same materials and the same warranties. What changes in Alabama is the ground. Red clay, rock and heavy storms call for careful grading and a fully compacted base.
Grade aggregate base, fully compacted and permeable. Never bank sand, recycled concrete or fillers.
Infill per square foot. Silica sand, or Envirofill on pet turf.
Edges tucked and nailed so they stay tight, backed by our 10-year edge and seam warranty.
Base shaped for drainage, which matters on Alabama clay and in 50-plus inches of rain a year.
Alabama weather is hard on outdoor surfaces
Central Alabama gets more rain than most of the country, summer highs in the 90s and heavy clay soils. Here is how we plan for it.
Average yearly rain across our service area. We grade every base so storm water drains through and away.
Average July highs. Turf gets hot in full sun, so we talk through shade, infill and turf options for play areas.
Red clay, Black Belt clay and buried rock all show up here. We check the ground at your free on-site quote.
