Your favorite room
is outside.

Make space for bare feet, muddy-paw-free mornings, and one more game before dinner.

Patchy, Dead Grass

Austin's heat is relentless. Natural grass demands constant water, treatment, and attention, and still looks rough half the year.

Pets Destroy Everything

Dogs dig. Dogs run the same path until it is bare dirt. Muddy paws come inside. Natural grass and active pets do not coexist well.

Water Bills & Restrictions

Irrigating a lawn in Texas is expensive. Water restrictions make it harder every year. A lush yard should not require a luxury budget.

Yard You Don't Use

An outdoor space that is too muddy, too rough, or too much work to maintain ends up being ignored. It should be your favorite room.

Cooling & odor control
for your yard.

Explore cooling turf, cooling infill, and pet odor-control infill for your yard. These are optional selections, not included with every installation.

TigerCool® cooling turf

Developed by TenCate, TigerCool Heat Reflective (HR) technology combines heat-reflective pigments and UV inhibitors in the turf yarn itself. The pigments reflect more infrared energy to help reduce heat buildup.

SGW reports up to 15% cooler with TigerCool.

About the TigerCool test results

Synthetic Grass Warehouse reports a 10.5°F average reduction and up to 14°F in lab testing versus turf without TigerCool. These figures apply to TigerCool turf, not to the infill options below. Actual results vary with the product and conditions.

Cooling infill

Infill is the material placed between the turf blades. Ask about cooling infill options to help manage surface heat. We’ll explain the available products and their care requirements.

Pet odor-control infill

For yards shared with pets, ask about infill designed to help manage odors from pet waste. We’ll help you choose a suitable option to complement regular cleanup and rinsing.

Turf can still get hot in direct sun. We’ll confirm product compatibility, availability, and pricing during your free on-site quote.

A great lawn starts
below the surface.

The turf is what you see. The preparation is what makes it work.

01

Walk it. Measure it. Plan it.

We walk the space, measure, talk through what you want, and give you a price with no obligation to book.

02

Get the groundwork right.

Grading, drainage, and a properly prepared base. The details underneath deserve as much attention as the finished lawn.

03

Fit it. Finish it. Enjoy it.

We walk the finished yard with you before we call it done. Most residential projects are finished in one to three days.

Comprehensive artificial turf and hardscape solutions

View all services

Everyday living.

A softer landing for the whole family.

Residential Turf

A lawn that looks the same in August as it does in April, without the mower, the sprinkler bill or the weekend. We design the layout around how your family actually uses the yard, not around a standard roll width.

Pet Turf

Dogs wear a bare track into natural grass and bring the mud back inside. Our pet systems use antimicrobial backing that inhibits odor-causing bacteria and a perforated backing that moves liquid through at over 30 inches per hour. Non-toxic and lead-free.

Pool Turf

No mud tracked into the water, no mower near the coping, no bare patches from chlorine splash. Fast-draining turf laid right up to the deck.

A little more play.

Space to practice, play, and gather.

Putting Greens

A real short game at home, contoured and cut for true roll rather than a green carpet with a hole in it. We shape the breaks with you on site.

Sports Turf

Backyard practice areas and multi-sport spaces built for repeated impact rather than looks alone, with shock absorption in the base.

Commercial Turf

Offices, HOAs and multi-family properties where the landscaping budget never shrinks. Turf removes the mowing and irrigation cost permanently.

The whole picture.

All the details that make a yard work.

Retaining Walls

A slope you cannot use is wasted yard, and in the Hill Country that is most of the lot. We build steel and block walls that hold the grade back and hand you flat, usable ground, with the grading and drainage handled underneath. This is a standalone job. You do not need to buy turf to get a wall.

Pavers

Turf handles the green. Pavers handle everywhere you actually walk and sit. Patios, pathways and driveways on a base built to the same standard as our turf prep, designed together so the yard reads as one space.

Turf Maintenance

Turf is low-maintenance, not no-maintenance. We groom, deodorize and top up infill on any brand, including turf we did not install.

Great experience! Our 2 year old fell off a retaining wall we have, onto an area with crushed stone. After a bloody mess, late at night...I inquired online with HelloTurf and had a call within minutes. We discussed options for the small space and settled with the design in the photos. Hazard eliminated, and turned an awkward space into a fun family zone! Prep and Install was fully done in a single day. Great work!

Exceptional Work on Our Dog Run! I cannot say enough good things about Hello Turf. We recently hired them to install turf for a dog run, and they did an absolutely amazing job from start to finish. The team was professional, efficient, and paid incredible attention to detail, ensuring the base was perfectly prepped and leveled for proper drainage. The quality of the turf is fantastic. It looks flawless, holds up beautifully, and is so easy to keep clean. Our pups are absolutely loving their new space! If you are looking for a reliable company that delivers top-tier work, look no further. Highly recommend!

Frequently
Asked Questions

What you need to know before you call

Let's talk it through
Does artificial turf get hot in the Texas sun?

Yes. Artificial turf can become hot in direct sun, even with cooling technology. hello TURF offers cooling turf options on select products. Ask about TigerCool® Heat Reflective technology, which uses heat-reflective pigments in the yarn to help reduce heat buildup. It is not included with every installation. We will discuss product availability, shade and how you use your yard during your free consultation.

Is TigerCool cooling technology included with every installation?

No. Cooling technology is an option on select turf products, not a standard feature of every installation. Let us know you are interested in cooling turf, and we will confirm available products, suitability for your project and pricing during your free on-site quote.

What does artificial turf cost in Austin?

Most professionally installed artificial turf runs $8 to $15 or more per square foot. Where a project lands in that range depends on the turf you choose, the size of the area, and how much preparation the ground needs first. A flat, clean yard costs far less to prepare than a sloped Hill Country lot that needs grading and drainage. We measure and price it on site for free, and you get the number before any work is scheduled.

Do you charge to come out and give an estimate?

No. The site visit and the quote are both free, and there is no trip fee. We walk the space, measure, talk through what you want, and give you a price with no obligation to book.

How quickly will someone actually get back to me?

Within a few minutes during business hours, and the same day if you reach us later. We are open Monday to Thursday 8am to 6pm, Friday until 5pm and Saturday until 3pm. If you call outside those hours, your message is first in line the next morning.

Will my dogs destroy it, and will the yard start to smell?

Our pet systems are built for exactly this. The backing is antimicrobial to inhibit odor-causing bacteria, and it is perforated to move liquid through at over 30 inches per hour, so nothing sits on the surface. Rinsing it down is usually all the upkeep it needs.

How long does the install actually take?

Most residential projects are finished in one to three days. Larger yards, heavy grading or a retaining wall will add time, and we give you a realistic schedule at the quote rather than after we start.

Who does the installation work?

Experienced turf crews handle every install, vetted and held to the same quality standards from first visit to final walkthrough. That consistency is the main reason we can promise a schedule and keep it.

What happens if something is wrong after you leave?

Every installation carries a 15-year manufacturer warranty on the turf, and we back the workmanship with our own satisfaction guarantee. We walk the finished yard with you before we call it done, and if something is not right afterwards, you call us and we come back.
