Premium synthetic turf installation for residential lawns, pool surrounds, pet areas, sport courts, and putting greens. Low maintenance, year-round green, built for Long Island's climate. Serving Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the Hamptons.
Why Artificial Turf
Eliminate weekly lawn maintenance and summer watering restrictions. Artificial turf stays green through Long Island's droughts and stays dormant through winter without dying.
Natural grass under a swing set, along a pool edge, or in a dog run turns to mud within a season. Artificial turf handles constant foot traffic without bare spots or erosion.
Long Island winters are hard on natural grass. Artificial turf looks the same in March as it does in July — no brown patches, no spring recovery, no waiting for the lawn to come back.
Eliminate chemical treatments from your outdoor environment. Artificial turf requires no herbicides, pesticides, or fertilizers — better for your family, your pets, and Long Island's groundwater.
Our installations use a crushed stone base with drainage fabric designed for Long Island's clay soils and heavy rainfall. Water drains through the turf and into the base — no pooling, no runoff.
Premium turf with proper base installation lasts 15–20 years. The long-term cost of artificial turf is typically lower than the cumulative cost of natural lawn maintenance over the same period.
Applications
Replace high-maintenance natural grass with a premium synthetic lawn that stays green year-round — no mowing, no watering, no fertilizing. Our turf products are engineered to look and feel like real grass, with natural color variation and realistic blade texture.
Artificial turf around pools eliminates the muddy, patchy grass that plagues most Long Island pool areas. It drains quickly, stays cool underfoot, and never gets tracked into the pool. A popular alternative to full hardscape for families who want a softer, more natural feel.
Specially designed pet turf with antimicrobial infill and superior drainage handles everything your dogs can throw at it. No more dead spots, muddy paws, or brown patches. Easy to clean and built to withstand heavy pet traffic year after year.
Artificial turf for backyard sport courts, putting greens, bocce courts, and children's play areas. We use sport-specific turf products engineered for the right ball roll, traction, and impact absorption — not the same product used for lawns.
Artificial turf transforms rooftop terraces and elevated decks into green outdoor living spaces. Lightweight, drainage-compatible systems designed for structural installations — ideal for Hamptons beach houses and North Shore estates with rooftop entertaining areas.
Custom backyard putting greens built to professional specifications. We design the contours, install the proper base and drainage, and use tour-quality turf products that replicate the speed and feel of a real green. Hole cups, fringe, and chipping areas available.
Installation Process
We remove existing grass, excavate to the proper depth, and grade the area for drainage. Proper site prep is the foundation of a long-lasting turf installation.
A compacted crushed stone base with drainage fabric is installed to Long Island-specific depth requirements — accounting for clay soils and freeze-thaw cycles.
Premium turf is cut, seamed, and secured with nails and adhesive. Seams are virtually invisible when installed correctly — a detail that separates professional from DIY installations.
Infill material (silica sand, crumb rubber, or organic options) is brushed into the turf fibers to provide weight, stability, and the right blade angle. Edging and borders are finished to match your landscape design.
Where We Work
We install artificial turf throughout Nassau County, Suffolk County, and the Hamptons. From Gold Coast estates in Brookville and Old Westbury to beach properties in the Hamptons and family homes in Jericho, Syosset, and Hauppauge.
FAQ
Artificial turf installation on Long Island typically ranges from $12–$22 per square foot installed, depending on turf quality, site preparation required, and infill type. A 1,000 sq ft lawn replacement runs approximately $15,000–$22,000. We provide detailed estimates during your free consultation.
Premium artificial turf installed with proper base preparation typically lasts 15–20 years in Long Island's climate. The key is the base — proper drainage and compaction prevent the shifting and settling that shortens turf life. Cardi Design & Build uses a crushed stone base with drainage fabric on all installations.
Standard artificial turf can get warm in direct sun. We offer turf products with heat-reducing infill and lighter-colored fibers that stay significantly cooler — important for pool surrounds and play areas where bare feet are common. We'll recommend the right product for your specific application.
Yes. All turf products we install are lead-free, non-toxic, and certified safe for children and pets. Our pet turf products use antimicrobial infill that inhibits bacteria and odor. We also install proper drainage systems that handle pet waste effectively.
Yes, with proper planning. We design turf installations that work with existing trees, garden beds, and hardscape — using flexible edging systems and proper root barriers where needed. Our landscape architects integrate turf into the full outdoor design rather than treating it as an isolated installation.
