The Ultimate Guide to Artificial Lawns & Synthetic Turf in North Carolina
Dec
Artificial lawns and synthetic turf have completely transformed modern landscaping. Homeowners and businesses across North Carolina are choosing turf not only for its clean, vibrant look but for its convenience, durability, and long-term savings. At 50 Shades of Green, we specialize in premium synthetic turf installation and full design-and-build outdoor transformations. With 25 years of experience and an in-house design team, we help you create beautiful outdoor spaces that stay green year-round.
If you’re wondering whether artificial grass is right for your property, this guide breaks down everything you need to know.
What Exactly Is Synthetic Turf?
Synthetic turf is engineered to look and feel like lush, healthy natural grass—but without the constant upkeep. It’s made using:
-
Realistic grass fibers: Polyethylene or nylon blades that mimic natural grass texture
-
Durable backing: Holds fibers securely in place
-
Infill: Sand or other materials brushed between the blades to help them stand tall and drain properly
Today’s artificial lawns are softer, safer, and more realistic than ever before. At 50 Shades of Green, we offer premium-grade turf designed specifically for Carolina homes, commercial properties, and high-traffic outdoor areas.
Top Benefits of Artificial Lawns for NC Homeowners
1. No Watering, No Mowing, No Maintenance Headaches
Say goodbye to weekend yard work. Synthetic turf stays beautifully green without irrigation, mowing, fertilizing, or reseeding. A simple rinse or brush is all your lawn needs.
2. Big Savings on Water & Yard Care
North Carolina summers can be hot and dry—meaning high water bills. Turf cuts water usage dramatically and reduces the need for pesticides, fertilizer, and lawn services.
3. A Green Lawn Every Day of the Year
From Raleigh’s hot summers to Wilmington’s coastal humidity, natural grass struggles to stay lush. Artificial grass stays bright and full through every season and weather condition.
4. Safe & Durable for Kids and Pets
Pet owners especially love turf. Our pet-friendly installations drain quickly, stay clean, and come with antimicrobial options to help reduce odors. Kids can run, play, and explore without mud, allergens, or uneven patches.
5. Cleaner, Low-Allergen Outdoor Spaces
No pollen production, no muddy footprints, and no harsh chemicals. Synthetic turf is great for families with allergies or anyone who wants a cleaner outdoor environment.

Our Professional Synthetic Turf Installation Process
At 50 Shades of Green, every turf project begins with our design-and-build process, giving you a clear vision through 3D renderings and expert guidance. Our installation includes:
1. Site Preparation
We remove existing grass, level the ground, and install a compacted stone base to ensure long-term drainage and stability.
2. Exact Turf Layout & Cutting
Your turf is measured and cut to fit your space precisely—even around curves, garden beds, edges, and hardscapes.
3. Securing the Turf
Our team uses commercial-grade adhesives, nails, and seam tape to ensure a flawless, seamless look that lasts for years.
4. Infill Application
Infill adds weight, lifts the blades, and enhances cushioning. We select the perfect infill for your needs—pets, landscaping, or athletics.
5. Final Grooming & Cleanup
We brush and lift the turf fibers to create that natural, freshly-cut appearance that homeowners love.
