Beautiful backyard with artificial turf
Always Green. Zero Work.

Artificial Turf.

No mowing. No watering. No fertilizing. No weeds. Just a perfect green lawn 365 days a year. Pet-friendly and kid-approved.

The Problem

You didn't buy a house to spend every weekend mowing the lawn.

Let's do the math. From April through October in Southeast Michigan, you're mowing every week -- that's roughly 28 mows per year. Add edging, fertilizing, weed control, watering, and aerating, and you're spending 100+ hours a year just maintaining grass. Or paying someone $2,000-4,000 annually to do it for you. Every single year. Forever.

And what do you get for all that effort? Brown patches in July. Bare spots under the oak tree. Muddy paths where the kids and dogs run. Crabgrass that laughs at your weed killer. A lawn that looks good for maybe 4 months of the year and questionable the rest.

Homeowners across Macomb Township, Sterling Heights, and Troy are making a different choice. They're installing artificial turf and getting their weekends back -- while their lawn looks like a golf course 12 months a year.

The Nelligan's Difference

Premium turf. Proper drainage. Invisible seams. Looks real.

We install premium synthetic turf that looks and feels remarkably natural. Multiple blade heights, varied green tones, and a realistic thatch layer make today's turf nearly indistinguishable from a well-maintained natural lawn.

The secret to great artificial turf is the base preparation. We excavate the existing soil, install a compacted aggregate base with proper grading for drainage, lay commercial-grade weed barrier, and precision-cut every seam so they're invisible. No bumps, no wrinkles, no puddles.

Our turf is pet-friendly with antimicrobial infill, UV-stabilized to resist fading, and backed by 15+ year warranties. It drains faster than natural grass, dries quickly, and cleans up with a simple hose-down.

FAQ

Artificial turf questions

Does artificial turf look fake?

Today's premium turf is remarkably realistic. Multiple blade heights, varied color tones, and a natural thatch layer make it nearly indistinguishable from well-maintained natural grass. Most people can't tell the difference until they touch it.

Is artificial turf safe for pets?

Absolutely. Our pet-friendly turf uses antimicrobial infill that prevents bacteria and odor. It drains faster than natural grass, dries quickly, and cleans up with a simple hose-down. No more muddy paws or dead grass spots from pet use.

How long does artificial turf last?

Premium artificial turf lasts 15-25 years with minimal maintenance. UV stabilization prevents fading, and the backing materials are designed to handle freeze-thaw cycles. When you factor in lawn care savings, it typically pays for itself in 5-7 years.

Does turf get hot in summer?

Artificial turf can get warmer than natural grass in direct sunlight, similar to a deck surface. We offer turf with cooling technology infill that reduces surface temperatures. Shaded areas and a quick spray with a hose cool it down instantly.

Does snow damage artificial turf?

No. Artificial turf handles Michigan winters without any issues. Snow melts naturally or can be shoveled without damaging the surface. The turf springs right back to its original shape every spring -- no reseeding, no bare patches, no spring cleanup.
