Artificial Grass Designed For Arizona

"Cool Blade" Tech

Tucson summers get hot. And cheap turf gets even hotter.

Apex Turf uses the latest “cool blade” technology to keep your lawn up to 15% cooler than other artificial grass.

We can also use a cooling infill to give you turf that’s cooler, comfier, and better for paws and bare feet.

Long Lasting

Apex Turf uses top-grade artificial turf with polyethylene fibers. This is the most durable product on the market.

Depending on how often you plan to walk on it, we can recommend different pile heights and densities.

Our artificial turf comes with a 10-15 year depending on the turf you choose.

Looks Realistic

Getting realistic turf is one of the top priorities for homeowners in Tucson.

The turf we use blends 4 or more different colors, and includes a mix of unique blade shapes.

We have different color options, face weights, and pile heights to suit different uses.

Why Pick Apex Turf in Tucson?

Our No Seam Guarantee

The difference between an amateur artificial grass installation and an installation done by Apex Turf is large.

One of the biggest concerns for homeowners in Tucson is being left with visible seams where pieces of turf meet.

At Apex Turf, we plan every cut carefully, use extra nails and glue on join areas, and use the “S” seam techniqur for higher pile turf, so everything blends together naturally.

If you ever notice a seam starting to show (even years from now), we’ll fix it free under our no seam guarantee.

Tucson Artificial Grass Questions

Whether you pick budget turf or premium turf, the labor to install it is the same.

Most basic artificial grass costs about $1 per square foot, while the highest-end turf can be $5 per square foot. A big range!

We usually recommend turf in the $2–$3 per square foot range for the best balance of look and durability.

Keep in mind, that’s just for the grass itself - it doesn’t include removal, base prep, infill, or labor.

In Tucson, most homeowners pay somewhere between $5 and $15 per square foot for the complete install.

The total cost depends on your yard size, site conditions, and the turf you choose.

Yes artificial grass can get hot here in the summer in Tucson, although not as hot as you might think.

The lower the quality of the grass, the hotter it will get.

For a high-quality grass you should expect it to be warmer than real grass but cooler than your patio, rocks and curbing.

We also have specialty infills to help keep your turf up to 50 degrees cooler in the Tucson summers.

If you are strictly looking at your ROI, artificial turf may or may not be a wise financial investment.

This depends on several factors.

The City of Chandler did a study in 2018 looking at the ROI of artificial grass (Tucson has very similar costs).

If you pay for maintenance, water, winter over-seeding and occasional sprinkler repairs, your artificial grass will pay for itself in about 5 to 6 years.

This break even point is assuming you pay $9 per square foot for your artificial grass installation.

Our artificial grass is manufactured in Dalton, Georgia, USA.

Tucson Water does offer rebates for removing live grass, but not for installing artificial turf by itself.

You can include artificial grass as part of your new landscape design, but you’ll only get the rebate for taking out existing turf.

Homeowners can get $5 per square foot, up to $1,000, for removing non-functional grass and replacing it with drought-friendly landscaping.

Always get pre-approval before starting — and ask us if you’d like help figuring out if your project qualifies!

Under Arizona law (HB 2131), if your HOA allows natural grass, it can’t ban artificial turf in your yard.

But the HOA can set reasonable rules: like turf color, pile height, coverage area, and installation standards. As long as those rules don’t effectively block turf installation.

Still, most HOAs require homeowners to submit a formal request through their Architectural Review Committee (ARC). Often this means providing turf samples, installation plans, and maintenance details.

We can help with any of those requirements, and are have worked with many of the HOA boards in Tucson.

No, you typically don’t need a building or zoning permit for artificial grass in Tucson. It’s considered landscape work, not construction.

There are rare exceptions, like if you're covering more than 3,000 sq ft of new pavement or making major grading changes. But installing turf itself is generally permit-free.

Most artificial grass is made from high-quality polyethylene or polypropylene.

Some lower quality artificial turfs are made from nylon.

Polyethylene is graded from C2 to C8. C8 being the most durable and longest lasting resin for your artificial grass.

The turf blades are stitched into a strong backing, then topped with an infill like silica sand or pet-friendly minerals to help keep the blades standing tall and draining well.

Artificial grass is low-maintenance, but not zero-maintenance.

You’ll want to rinse it off now and then to wash away dust and debris, especially if you have pets.

Use a stiff broom or leaf blower to brush up the blades and keep them looking fresh.

For pet areas, an occasional enzyme cleaner or a spray of Simple Green helps control odors and keeps things sanitary.

Apex Turf doesn't offer turf maintenance currently, but we have some excellent companies we can recommend if your turf is looking older and would like a professional refresh (power broom, clean/deodorize, infill replenishment).
