Create attractive, usable commercial green space without the mowing and routine irrigation required by a traditional lawn.
LaBarge installs commercial synthetic lawns and putting greens for businesses, HOAs, apartment communities, hospitality properties and other managed sites.
The Most Expensive Landscape Area May Be the One Nobody Uses
A commercial lawn can consume water, require regular mowing and still remain empty.
A shaded courtyard can look unfinished.
An apartment common area can offer residents little reason to gather.
A hotel patio can lack an activity.
A worn pet area can become difficult to keep presentable.
Synthetic turf can turn selected portions of the property into green, defined and usable space without relying on a traditional lawn-maintenance cycle.
The objective is not to cover the entire site with artificial grass.
It is to install the right surface where appearance, activity and predictable upkeep matter most.
Why Commercial Properties Consider Synthetic Turf
No Mowing
Synthetic turf does not grow, eliminating routine lawn mowing in the converted area.
No Routine Irrigation for Grass Growth
Artificial turf does not need irrigation to remain alive or green. Water may still be used for cleaning, pet-area care or temporary surface cooling. Nearby living plants may continue to require irrigation.
Predictable Appearance
Synthetic turf maintains a consistent green appearance through seasons when natural grass may become dormant, thin or stressed. Its condition still depends on product quality, installation, traffic and maintenance.
Defined Amenity Space
Turf can make a courtyard, common area or recreation zone feel intentional rather than unfinished.
Reduced Lawn Inputs
The converted area does not require the routine fertilization and mowing associated with living turf. Weed attention, debris removal, cleaning and edge maintenance may still be needed.
Useful in Selected Difficult Areas
Synthetic turf may be considered where traditional grass repeatedly struggles because of concentrated traffic, limited mowing access or property-use patterns.

Putting Greens
A commercial putting green may create an amenity for residents, guests, employees or customers.

Low Maintenance—not Maintenance-Free
Commercial turf may require:
- Debris removal
- Brushing
- Edge and seam checks
- Weed attention
- Pet-area cleaning
- Spot cleaning
- Infill maintenance
- Repairs after damage or heavy use
Heat and Drainage
Artificial turf can become hot in direct sun. The design should account for users, pets, shade and peak operating times.
Drainage depends on the complete system—not only the turf backing.
