Seven practical questions Hurst homeowners can use to compare turf installers, drainage plans, base work, products and estimates.
Ask about the site before the turf
The first questions should focus on your property. What will be removed? How will the area be graded? Where does water move now? Are access, roots, irrigation or hardscape likely to affect the work?
An installer who studies those conditions can give a more useful recommendation than one who begins and ends with a sample.
Ask what is included below the surface
Find out what base material and preparation are included and how the area will be compacted. Ask whether drainage changes are included or would be added later.
These details influence stability and water movement, yet they disappear once turf is installed. They should be clear in writing.
Ask why the product fits
The recommended turf and infill should match the application. A dog area, family lawn, pool surround and commercial walkway do not have identical needs.
Ask about pile height, density, backing, drainage and cleaning. Clear reasons matter more than a claim that one product is best for everything.
