Turf systems matched to the way you use your space

Good artificial grass is more than a green surface. Pile height, face weight, drainage, base construction and infill all need to suit the site.

Installation quality

The finished lawn is only as reliable as the base beneath it.

Artificial turf failures usually begin below the blades. Poor grading, shallow excavation, weak compaction and careless seams can lead to standing water, ripples or visible joins. NorthLawn scopes the complete system around the site, not just the surface.

  1. 01
    Measure and assess

    Confirm use, access, drainage, edges and accurate site dimensions.

  2. 02
    Excavate and grade

    Remove unsuitable material and establish a stable drainage path.

  3. 03
    Build the base

    Place and compact the specified aggregate in controlled lifts.

  4. 04
    Fit and seam

    Orient the turf, minimize joins and trim cleanly to hard edges.

  5. 05
    Secure and finish

    Fasten edges, apply the selected infill and power-brush the pile.

Choose with confidence

Not every turf belongs in every yard.

NorthLawn helps match the product and base system to traffic, pets, children, drainage, sun exposure and the look you want. Samples should be compared outdoors because blade colour and sheen can change dramatically in natural light.

Use case

Questions worth asking

Before you choose artificial grass

A durable result comes from clear expectations about appearance, maintenance, drainage and how the surface will be used.

Can I purchase turf without installation?

Yes. NorthLawn supports material-only projects as well as complete installations. Share your dimensions, site type and intended use so the product quantity and application can be reviewed before ordering.

Does artificial turf require maintenance?

It eliminates mowing and routine watering, but it is not maintenance-free. Leaves and debris should be removed, high-traffic fibres may need brushing, and pet areas need regular rinsing and cleaning.

Will the surface drain after heavy rain?

Drainage depends on the turf backing, base aggregate, subgrade and site slope working together. A site assessment should identify low areas, runoff constraints and suitable base construction before installation.

Is artificial turf suitable for pets?

Pet-specific systems can provide rapid drainage and easier cleanup. Product selection, base preparation and a consistent cleaning routine are all important for odour control.

Do you install artificial turf in small yards and side yards?

Yes. NorthLawn reviews compact yards, narrow side yards, pet areas and other hard-to-use residential spaces. Project suitability and pricing depend on access, the existing surface, drainage, disposal and the complete installation scope.

Where does NorthLawn install artificial turf?

NorthLawn is based in Dundas and reviews residential artificial turf supply and installation projects across Dundas and Hamilton, Ontario.

How accurate are the free calculators?

They provide planning estimates from the dimensions entered. Compaction, settlement, waste, access, supplier units and site conditions can change the amount you should order, so confirm final quantities with your supplier or installer.
