Top 7 Questions Homeowners Ask About Artificial Grass Installation (Answered)

Thinking about artificial grass? Get answers to the top 7 homeowner questions on cost, maintenance, safety, and warranties.

Thinking about making the switch to artificial grass? You’re not alone. More homeowners in Greenville, Spartanburg, and Anderson are considering turf as a way to simplify lawn care while keeping their yards beautiful year-round. But before committing, many people have questions about how artificial grass works, what it costs, and whether it’s right for their families.

At Sepko Synthetic Solutions, we hear these questions every day—and we’re here with the answers.

1. How much does artificial grass cost?

The cost of artificial grass depends on the size of your yard, the type of turf you choose, and the complexity of installation. While the upfront price is higher than sod, many homeowners find that long-term savings on water, chemicals, and maintenance make turf the smarter investment.

2. How long does installation take?

Most residential projects are completed in just a few days. Smaller yards may only take a day or two, while larger or more complex installations (like putting greens or pet systems) can take a week. Sepko provides clear timelines during the consultation so you know exactly what to expect.

3. How does artificial grass handle drainage?

Good drainage is essential, especially in South Carolina’s rainy climate. Sepko installs turf with advanced backing systems that allow water to pass through quickly into a prepared base layer. This keeps surfaces dry, prevents pooling, and ensures your lawn stays usable even after heavy rain.

4. What maintenance is required?

Artificial grass is low maintenance compared to natural lawns. You’ll never mow, fertilize, or water it. Basic upkeep includes rinsing occasionally to remove dust, brushing to keep blades upright, and clearing away leaves or debris. For pet owners, we recommend regular rinses to maintain freshness.

5. Is it safe for kids and pets?

Yes. Sepko’s turf products are made from non-toxic, lead-free materials. They’re safe for kids to play on and for pets to enjoy. For dog owners, we also offer pet-friendly turf systems with extra odor control and drainage to keep yards clean and sanitary.

6. How long will artificial grass last?

With proper installation and light maintenance, artificial turf typically lasts 10–15 years. Many homeowners enjoy their turf even longer, especially in areas with lighter use. Sepko also provides warranties on both materials and installation for added peace of mind.

7. What warranties are included?

We stand behind our work. Sepko offers product warranties directly from the turf manufacturer as well as warranties on our installation. If any issue arises, you’ll have local experts ready to address it quickly.
