Synthetic Turf

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.

Low Maintenance—not Maintenance-Free

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.
