About Our Artificial Turf Services in Laval
For over 20 years, Urban Landscaping Laval has specialized in professional artificial turf installation, providing homeowners in areas like Laval-sur-le-Lac and Fabreville with durable, beautiful, and water-wise lawn solutions. As a core component of our landscaper services, we've completed over 800 projects, honing our expertise in creating synthetic lawns that look and feel remarkably natural while eliminating the constant upkeep of traditional grass. Our approach is rooted in a deep understanding of the specific challenges and opportunities within our local environment, ensuring every installation is a long-term asset to your property. We focus on delivering a functional, aesthetically pleasing surface that gives you back your weekends and reduces your environmental footprint through significant water savings. Our technical expertise sets us apart. We exclusively use high-grade polyethylene turf with advanced monofilament and slit film fibers that offer superior resilience and a realistic appearance. Every product we install features a robust, multi-layer polypropylene backing for exceptional dimensional stability and efficient permeation drainage. A critical element is the UV resistance treatment integrated into the fibers, which prevents fading and degradation from harsh sun exposure, ensuring your lawn maintains its vibrant green color for years. We also specify turf with an anti-glare finish to reduce unnatural sheen, a common issue with lower-quality products. This commitment to superior materials is the foundation of a lawn that performs as well as it looks, providing lasting value and enjoyment. Working in Laval, we've tailored our artificial turf installation process to master the demands of Quebec's climate. The dramatic freeze-thaw cycles require a specialized base preparation that goes beyond industry standards. Our granular foundation is engineered with specific aggregate layers, compacted to a minimum 95% proctor density, to prevent heaving and buckling as the ground shifts. This robust base is crucial for maintaining a perfectly smooth surface and ensuring consistent drainage year-round, even during heavy spring thaws or summer downpours.
Our Turf Installation Process
Site & Base Preparation
We begin with precise excavation to the required depth, typically 4-6 inches. We then install and compact a multi-layer granular foundation. This critical step ensures superior stability and permeation drainage, preventing future buckling.
Turf Layout & Seaming
Our team carefully rolls out the polyethylene turf, ensuring all grain directions align for a uniform look. Sections are meticulously cut and joined with professional-grade seaming tape and adhesive for connections that are strong and invisible.
Secure Edges & Infill
We secure the perimeter with non-corrosive spikes to prevent lifting. Next, we evenly apply the chosen infill materials, like rounded silica sand, which provides ballast, supports the fibers, and aids in turf stabilization and cooling.
Final Grooming & Review
The installation is finished with a power broom to work the infill into the base and make the blades stand upright. We conduct a final walkthrough with you to ensure every detail meets our high standards and your complete satisfaction.

How Much Does Turf Installation Cost in Laval?
The average artificial turf installation cost in Laval typically ranges from **$12 to $25 per square foot**. This price is an all-inclusive figure that covers materials, base preparation, and professional labor. For a standard 500-square-foot backyard artificial turf installation, homeowners can generally expect an investment between $6,000 and $12,500. This range provides a realistic budget estimate, but a precise quote depends on the specifics of your property and material choices. We provide a detailed, transparent estimate after an on-site consultation to ensure there are no surprises. Several key factors influence the final cost of a project. The primary variable is the quality of the synthetic grass itself; products with higher face weights, longer pile heights, and advanced cooling technology are at the upper end of the price spectrum. The amount of site preparation required is another significant factor. A yard that needs extensive grading and excavation will cost more than a relatively flat, clear area. Accessibility to the installation site for our equipment and materials can also affect labor costs. Finally, your choice of infill materials, from standard silica sand to specialized cooling or antimicrobial options, will also impact the total price. Our pricing is comprehensive and transparent.

Artificial turf installation FAQ in Laval
What is the typical cost for professional turf installation in Laval?
In our experience, the all-inclusive cost for a professional artificial turf installation in Laval is between $12 and $25 per square foot. This range accounts for everything: site excavation, a properly engineered granular foundation, the turf product itself, infill materials, and all labor. The final price depends on the specific turf selected (pile height, density), the amount of base preparation needed for your property's specific grade, and the total area. We always provide a detailed, itemized quote after a site visit to ensure complete transparency for your project.
How long will new synthetic grass last in Quebec's climate?
A professionally installed, high-quality synthetic lawn should last between 15 and 25 years in Laval. The key to this longevity is the quality of the materials and the installation method. We use turf made from durable polyethylene with built-in UV resistance to prevent fading from the sun. The polypropylene backing is designed to withstand decades of temperature fluctuations without cracking. Most importantly, our robust base preparation protects the artificial turf installation from the damaging effects of freeze-thaw cycles, ensuring a stable and long-lasting surface.
Is artificial turf safe for my children and pets to use?
Absolutely. The modern artificial turf products we install are specifically designed to be safe for the whole family. The monofilament and slit film fibers are made from non-toxic, lead-free polyethylene, similar to materials used in food containers. We use rounded silica sand or other non-toxic infill materials that do not contain harmful chemicals. Furthermore, a synthetic lawn eliminates the need for pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, creating a healthier play area. Proper permeation drainage also means no muddy paws or feet after it rains.
What is turf infill and is it actually necessary?
Yes, infill is a critical component of a proper artificial turf installation. Infill is a granular material, most commonly rounded silica sand, that is spread between the grass fibers. It serves several crucial purposes: it provides ballast to weigh the turf down and prevent it from shifting or buckling, it helps the synthetic blades stand upright for a more natural look, it protects the polypropylene backing from UV exposure, and it provides cushioning underfoot. Without proper infill, the turf would feel flat, wear out prematurely, and be prone to damage.
How do I care for and maintain my new artificial lawn?
Maintenance is minimal compared to a natural lawn. We recommend a simple routine to keep it looking its best. Use a leaf blower or a stiff-bristled broom to remove leaves and debris regularly. For pet waste, remove solids and rinse the area with a hose. For minor spills, a simple solution of water and mild soap is effective. Annually, you may want to use a power broom to fluff up the fibers in high-traffic areas. This simple care routine for your artificial turf installation ensures it remains beautiful for its entire lifespan, with no mowing or watering required.
Can you install artificial turf over my old concrete patio?
Yes, installing turf over concrete is a great way to revitalize an old patio or balcony, and it's a service we frequently provide. The process is different from a standard lawn installation. First, we ensure the concrete is clean and in good condition, and we check that it has a slight slope for drainage. We then typically install a specialized shock-absorbing drainage pad before laying the turf. This pad provides cushioning and creates channels for water to escape. This type of artificial turf installation is often faster and less expensive than a full excavation. It's a great option alongside our concrete masonry services.
