Stay green 365 days.
Stop mowing forever.
Switch to artificial turf.
CLT Pros installs premium artificial grass for Charlotte-area homeowners — backyards, pet areas, putting greens, play spaces, and low-maintenance lawns. Sourced from Purchase Green, installed by the same owner-operated crew that handles every other project.
“We love our new turf — no more muddy paws, no brown patches, and it looks incredible year-round.”
Why Charlotte Homeowners Choose Turf
Stop fighting Charlotte’s grass. Let it go permanently.
Tall fescue and Bermuda — the two grasses that dominate Charlotte yards — both go dormant and brown in winter. Bermuda goes dormant in fall and doesn’t green up until late spring. Fescue struggles in summer heat and dies in patches every August. Charlotte homeowners spend thousands a year seeding, fertilizing, watering, and mowing a lawn that still looks bad half the year.
Premium artificial turf ends that cycle. CLT Pros installs turf that stays green 365 days a year, drains properly in Charlotte’s heavy rain, handles pet traffic without odor, and never needs mowing, seeding, or fertilizing — ever.
Green year-round
No dormancy, no brown patches. Perfect appearance in every season Charlotte throws at it.
No watering, ever
Eliminate your lawn irrigation entirely. The average Charlotte home saves thousands of gallons annually.
No chemicals
No pesticides, herbicides, or fertilizers. Safer for kids, pets, and the local watershed.
Zero maintenance
No mowing, no edging, no seeding. Occasional rinse is all a properly installed system needs.

The Real Comparison
Artificial turf vs natural grass in Charlotte
Charlotte’s climate is particularly hard on natural grass. Here’s an honest side-by-side of what most homeowners actually experience.

Pricing Transparency
What artificial turf installation costs in Charlotte
Charlotte homeowners frequently search for pricing before picking up the phone. Here’s what you can expect to invest — and why turf pays for itself over time.
Artificial turf installation in Charlotte typically ranges from $8–$20 per square foot, including materials and labor. A typical residential backyard project runs 500–1,500 sq ft, putting most projects between $5,000–$18,000. Larger projects benefit from economies of scale — the per-foot cost drops as square footage increases.
Charlotte’s clay soil often requires additional site prep — grading, base installation, and drainage work — which adds cost but is essential for a system that drains properly and stays level over time. CLT Pros includes full site prep assessment in every free estimate.
The payback calculation is compelling: most Charlotte homeowners spend $1,500–$4,000+ per year on lawn maintenance, water, and lawn care services. A quality turf installation pays for itself in 5–8 years — then saves money for another 15–20 years after that.

Installation Process
How CLT Pros installs artificial turf
A well-installed turf system starts underground — proper base, drainage, and grading before a single blade goes down. Here’s exactly what happens.
Free on-site assessment
We measure your space, assess drainage conditions, check the grade, and discuss your use case — backyard lawn, pet area, putting green, or combination. You get a written quote before anything starts.
Site prep & base installation
Existing grass and vegetation is removed. The area is graded for proper drainage away from structures. A compacted crushed stone base is installed — the foundation that determines how long your turf performs.
Turf installation & infill
Premium Purchase Green turf is cut, fitted, and secured. Seams are joined invisibly. Infill material is applied and brushed into the blades to help them stand upright and give the surface a natural feel.
Final walkthrough & care guide
We walk through the finished installation with you, verify drainage flow, and leave you with a care guide covering the minimal maintenance your new turf needs to perform for 15–25 years.

Common Questions
Artificial turf FAQs for Charlotte homeowners
What homeowners ask before committing to artificial turf — answered directly.
Artificial turf installation in Charlotte typically costs $8–$20 per square foot including materials and labor. A 500 sq ft project runs roughly $5,000–$10,000; a 1,000 sq ft project typically runs $10,000–$18,000. Charlotte’s clay-heavy soil often requires additional site prep and drainage work that can add $500–$2,000 to the base installation. CLT Pros provides free, written, itemized estimates before any commitment. Call (704) 778-6755 to schedule yours.
Quality artificial turf lasts 15–25 years when properly installed. The key factors are UV resistance (Charlotte’s summer sun is intense), drainage performance (our clay soil and heavy rain require proper base and grading), and infill maintenance. Purchase Green products are UV-stabilized and engineered for the Southeast’s climate. CLT Pros installs with a compacted stone base and proper grading to ensure drainage performance throughout the turf’s lifetime.
Yes — Purchase Green’s products are non-toxic and lead-free, tested for pet safety in the United States. For pet areas, CLT Pros recommends pet-specific turf with antimicrobial infill options that control odor and allow fast drainage. Urine and waste drain through the permeable turf backing, and the surface can be rinsed clean with a garden hose. Compared to natural grass, pet turf eliminates muddy paws, dead patches from urine, and chemical treatments near your animals.
Artificial turf can get warmer than natural grass in direct sun — a real consideration in Charlotte’s summers. However, this is manageable: a quick spray with a garden hose cools turf within minutes, and Purchase Green offers products with heat-reduction technology. Shaded areas see minimal temperature difference. The heat consideration is most relevant for pet areas and play surfaces where children or pets are barefoot — CLT Pros discusses this during every estimate and recommends the appropriate product for your specific application and sun exposure.
Premium artificial turf today looks dramatically more realistic than products from even 5 years ago. Purchase Green products feature multi-tonal blade color, natural curl and texture, and thatch layers that mimic the look of real grass at ground level. The difference from natural grass is difficult to detect on a well-installed system. CLT Pros can show you product samples during your free estimate so you can feel and compare options before committing to any product.
Artificial turf requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass. Typical ongoing care: rinse with a garden hose to remove debris and pollen (as needed), brush the fibers upright once or twice a year with a turf brush, remove leaves with a rake or blower (not a vacuum — it removes infill), and spot-clean pet areas. Infill may need replenishment every few years. There is no mowing, watering, fertilizing, or reseeding — ever. CLT Pros provides a written care guide with every installation.
