I, too, had a very poor yard most of the year. No sunlight in the winter, poor drainage, mud and moss infested. I had been thinking about an artificial turf solution for a few years. After a LOT of research, I knew Field Turf was the best product available but assumed it would be too expensive. I was very surprised that Alpha Turf’s Field Turf installation bid was significantly LOWER than a competing(non-local) installer’s bid for an inferior product. Kyle and his crew were very professional and quick. The install process involves removing yards and yards of existing dirt — I was a little concerned about having a trail of mud from my backyard to the street. Alpha Turf finished the job and left my property cleaner than they found it. Now my yard looks perfect all the time. No watering, fertilizing, seeding, weeding, or mowing. No mud, no moss, no fuss. Just use a leaf blower every know and then. Great for pets and family. This is definitely one case of man improving on Mother Nature. Best home improvement expense ever!
