Envision a lawn that maintains its vibrant green color throughout the year without mowing or fertilizing. This is the magic of synthetic turf—a low-maintenance solution that effortlessly keeps your outdoor space lush and green without the use of precious water.

Discover these three applications where artificial grass will improve your landscape and your life:

Synthetic putting greens
Synthetic lawn
Synthetic turf dog run.

Extend Your Play Time with Synthetic Turf, Play Spaces, and Outdoor Lighting
Enhance your golf skills by adding synthetic turf areas to your outdoor space. At Campbell & Ferrara, we go the extra mile to tailor your putting greens and chipping areas to your unique preferences, ensuring a personalized experience.

We also design and build custom sports and bocce ball courts that enhance your entire family’s entertainment. Basketball and bocce ball courts provide hours of outdoor fun, whether practicing your free throws or entertaining during an outdoor party. Horseshoes pits are another entertainment option to consider.

Adding outdoor lighting, including a design of various LED fixtures, to your putting greens, basketball, or bocce court allows you to practice your game well after the sun goes down.

Our team has the skills and experience to provide top-notch workmanship to create your new play areas.

A Word About Yard Drainage and Synthetic Turf
Before we put down your new synthetic turf, we’ll inspect your property for poor water drainage.

Our experts will determine your yard’s drainage capacity and fix any low-lying areas that fill with water when it rains.

Also, synthetic turf improves yard drainage with its backing that has drainage holes and directs water to the underground drainage solution.

Ensure that our landscape consultant assigned to you is made aware of any yard drainage issues you may have, since resolving this issue will be the first priority.

Blowing leaves and other debris off artificial turf will protect the backing, ensuring it will not clog.

Enjoy a Low-Maintenance Lawn with Synthetic Turf
Do you want to spend more time outside enjoying your lawn without working on it?

You can enjoy those extra hours when you switch your natural grass lawn to a synthetic one. Artificial grass looks like real turf except that you only need to use your leaf blower or hose to clean it off as needed.

Did you know that synthetic turf is also eco-friendly? Artificial turfgrass minimizes water usage and eliminates fertilizer and other chemicals going into the ground.

Synthetic turf also provides the following cost benefits:

It increases your home’s value.
Saves money on your water bill and is more eco-friendly.
It makes your home more attractive, especially if you have your home up for sale.

Install a Pet Paradise with a Custom-Designed Synthetic Dog Run

Does your best friend like to dig in the dirt and then drag his muddy paws through your living room and kitchen?

Installing synthetic turf in a custom-designed dog run allows your favorite canine to do what she loves best—running, sniffing, playing, and going potty. However, no mud or other debris will be brought inside your home.

You eliminate brown spots in your yard caused by dog urine, and your artificial lawn will have no unsightly holes.

Plus, you can clean dog waste and dirt off your dog run with a hose. Loose debris can be worked off with a leaf blower, and you won't have to search your yard for dog messes.

Additionally, your new underground drainage system should remove odors, mud, and moisture away from your artificial turf, keeping your dog run, looking, and smelling its best.

You’ll have more time and energy playing catch with your favorite four-legged friends instead of cleaning up after them!
