Where To Buy The Best Synthetic Turf
When asking yourself, where to buy the best synthetic turf? We hope your first thought is obviously,”from Havasu Turf Pros, or one of their local retail partners, of course”. But between small turf shops and big box store’s turf special’s, combined with a struggling economy that is squeezing the average household’s budget, it might seem like wasteful spending to buy the best synthetic turf available. After all, it’s just going to sit there and look pretty. Right?
Do Big Box Stores Offer The Best Turf Deals?
A common question we hear all the time is, do big box stores offer the best turf deals? And although their prices can be difficult to beat for smaller businesses, even their best turf product, is typically a much lower quality than anything you will find at an actual turf supply store.
The main reason big box stores sell lower quality turf products is because in general, they are more focused on selling quantity over quality. It’s a volume thing. On the other hand, smaller synthetic turf shops like here at HTP, are more focused on customer satisfaction over the long term.
The Difference Between Retail Turf and Wholesale Turf
When buying landscape turf, most of your local retail turf stores will have a larger selection of turf choose from compared to any big box store. Big box stores typically only carry a few options when it comes to turf. Most of what they sell are pre-cut rug sizes. Their limited but somewhat available 12 foot rolls, may cost you less but will never hold up as long as professional grade turf will.
Here at HTP, we do our best to only carry the best. However, from time to time we will stock a $.99 per sq ft, budget friendly turf option that works perfect for the do it yourself type on a tight budget and any smaller turf projects, rv runners, pet runs, etc. The weight and features of our budget friendly turf may be less than that of our premium quality turf, but rest assured, we only stick turf from manufacturers we trust.
Turf Starting At Only $.89 Per Square Foot
Synthetic turf starting at only $.89 per square foot, are very common these days. Unfortunately, they are not much better than the options you’ll find at a big box store. Most of these economy brands cost less in the short term but simply do not up to normal wear and tear.
Most economy turf is made with lighter weight latex backing that breaks down much faster than a premium turf backing will. The grass fibers used in most economy turf brands also do not hold up when used in high traffic areas. This leads to sooner than expected turf repairs and unavoidable replacements. Between pets and children playing on turf, economy turf products, although they may look beautiful when first installed, will eventually trample down. Once that happens, there isn’t much you can do but replace the turf. After spending a bunch of time and money on new landscaping turf, the last thing you want to do is deal with having to fix or replace it.
