I had spoken to a contractor several years ago who was shopping artificial grass prices for a Pet Kennel Facility. I explained the durable construction of our pet artificial grass line and told him that the product can also be used for residential synthetic lawns.
I gave the contractor a price range of $2.16 – $3.13 per sq ft with an 8 year warranty. He thanked me for my time and told me that he had a much better price quote of around $2.00 per sq ft. I quickly reminded him that with artificial grass, you get what you pay for.
I recently got a call from the same contractor because his decision to buy the $2.00 cheap turf for the Pet Kennel had backfired. The Pet Kennel has a horrible smell of dog urine that is retained in the cheap woven backing. The cheap turf is coming out in patches and is being ruined by the dogs. His customer has now asked him to replace the whole project on his dime.
The contractor called the turf company he bought the cheap turf from and they told him they made a mistake and the turf they sold him does not come with any warranty. In the end, this project will cost the poor contractor over $5.00 per sq ft for choosing a cheaper turf product that came with costly consequences.
We are now replacing the cheap turf with our ever popular Pet Pro Plus-69SL artificial lawns which is used in pet kennels nationwide and has a heavy duty backing not a cheap woven backing.
This allows us to stand behind our warranty unlike other turf companies. To see the Pet Pro Plus series check out this link: http://www.artificialturfsupply.com/petpro_series.html
And if you need a quote for any of our turf product don’t hesitate to call us toll free at: (877) 525-TURF (8873)
In the end, the contractor thanked me for helping him get the right product for the job this time and told me I was correct, that when it comes to artificial grass, you sure do get what you pay for.
