In the past 10 years, artificial grass has skyrocketed in popularity. Property owners across the country are quickly switching out their natural grass landscapes for synthetic grass with the object of saving costs and enjoying a more aesthetically-pleasing outdoor experience.
However, this rise in demand has resulted in a surge of questionable artificial turf installers. Anybody can hop on social media, post some stock photos of synthetic grass and call themselves an artificial grass installer, but how can you weed out the fakes from legitimate synthetic grass installers? We here at Grizzly Turf would like to share some questions you can ask to make sure your artificial grass installer is the real deal.
CAN I GET A WRITTEN QUOTE?
Nowadays, a verbal quote and a dollar will get you a cup of coffee. Any artificial grass installation agreed to by a handshake and a smile is almost guaranteed to give you problems down the road, from incorrect pricing to inferior installation quality.
A reputable artificial grass installer should — and will — provide you with a written quote of the work that needs to be done for your synthetic grass installation. A solid written quote should include the necessary labor, materials used and the total cost to you, including all applicable taxes and fees.
DO YOU HAVE A PORTFOLIO?
In the age of social media, image is everything. A competent artificial grass installer will have an online portfolio of previous projects readily available for potential clients to view.
Examples of a valid portfolio include Instagram posts, a Facebook page, a company website gallery or all of the above! The portfolio should have photos of successful projects with varying shapes, sizes and artificial grass styles.
