Artificial Grass — outdoor living by TAB Property Enhancement
Outdoor Living · Northeast Ohio

Artificial Grass

Synthetic turf that stays green with no mowing or watering, built on a draining base that handles pets, kids, and the spots real grass won’t grow.

Overview

Built once, built right

TAB Property Enhancement installs synthetic turf across Northeast Ohio as part of 18 years of outdoor living work, backed by Best of Houzz recognition eight years running. Artificial grass solves the yard problems real grass can’t: deep shade, heavy pet traffic, slopes that won’t hold sod, and the time and water a lawn demands. No mower, no hose. Done right, it looks like turf and drains like a built surface.

The look comes from the turf; the performance comes from what’s underneath. We install modern synthetic turf systems with soft, multi-tone blades and a thatch layer, the kind that reads as real grass rather than the flat green carpet of older products. Below it goes a compacted, draining aggregate base, so water and pet waste rinse straight through instead of pooling. We seam, anchor, and infill the turf so it lies flat and stays put through freeze and heat.

Every install starts with a design conversation and, where it’s part of a larger project, a 3D rendering, so you see the area and edges before we start. Our crews handle the excavation, base, and turf install. One team, and a properly built base is the difference between turf that drains and lasts and turf that sinks and smells.

Turf fits naturally with the rest of an outdoor build. A putting green, a clean play area off a patio, a pet run, or a low-maintenance ground cover between pavers and beds. We tie it into the hardscape and grading so the edges are clean and the drainage works as one system. Planned with the patio or landscape, it’s a finished surface, not a green patch dropped in the middle of a yard.

What's included

The difference is in the build

  • Realistic turf

    Soft, multi-tone blades with a thatch layer that reads as real grass, not the flat green of older synthetic products.

  • Draining base

    A compacted aggregate base lets water and pet waste rinse straight through, so nothing pools, smells, or stays soggy.

  • Pet and kid ready

    Safe to play and lie on, easy to rinse, and tough enough for the heaviest dog traffic without wearing bare.

  • No maintenance

    No mowing, watering, fertilizing, or muddy patches. It stays green and even through Ohio heat and freeze.

How it works

From first walk-through to final board

  1. 1

    Design consultation

    We look at the area, the drainage, and how it'll be used (pets, play, putting, ground cover), and set the plan and budget.

  2. 2

    Design & layout

    For larger projects you see the turf area in the 3D rendering; for standalone installs we mark the area and edges with you before we start.

  3. 3

    Build

    Our crews excavate, build and compact the draining base, then seam, anchor, and infill the turf to lie flat and stay put.

  4. 4

    Final walk-through

    We review the finished surface and the simple care (a rinse now and then), and hand off the warranty paperwork.

Common questions

Questions homeowners ask

Will subcontractors be doing the work on my home?

Our core construction crews are in-house TAB staff: decks, structures, hardscape, all of it. We bring in licensed specialists for electrical, gas, and plumbing, the same Ohio trades we've worked with for years. Your project lead is on-site or reachable throughout, whoever is working that day.

What happens if I want to change something during the build?

Change orders are normal on custom work. When something comes up, we quote it in writing before any work proceeds, including any effect on the timeline. You approve every change before we make it, and nothing surprises you at billing.

Is artificial grass safe for pets and kids?

Yes. The turf systems we install are non-toxic and lead-free, and the draining base means pet urine rinses straight through instead of sitting on the surface, so there's no mud and no lingering smell when it's built right. For kids it's soft underfoot and stays even, with no holes, bare patches, or fertilizer and pesticide to worry about. For heavy dog use we can spec an antimicrobial infill, and a quick rinse keeps it fresh. It's one of the most common reasons our clients make the switch.

Does it get hot, and what happens to rain and snow?

Synthetic turf does warm up in direct summer sun more than a living lawn, though shade and a quick rinse cool it fast, and Northeast Ohio's climate makes that a minor issue most of the year. Drainage is a strength: the compacted base under the turf lets rain pass straight through, so you don't get the pooling a real lawn does, and snow melts and drains the same way. A properly built base is what makes all of that work, which is why we don't shortcut it.

What’s covered under your warranty?

Two layers. Our workmanship warranty covers the base and installation, and the manufacturer warranty covers the turf itself, registered on your behalf. Quality synthetic turf typically carries a multi-year manufacturer warranty against fading and wear, often in the 8-to-15-year range. You get the full paperwork at the final walk-through.

    We could not be any happier with our outdoor living space created by Tab Property Enhancements. They removed and replaced our existing patio with a gorgeous new unilock patio, fire pit, pavilion and small deck. They were excellent to work with, extremely friendly, very professional, and knowledgeable. Their skill level is top notch, down to every little detail, and we were well informed and updated on every step of the process. We would highly recommend them to anyone wanting to enhance their outdoor space. We absolutely love ours. Its like we added an extra room to our home.
