Every dog owner knows the drill: muddy paws, tracked-in messes and a ‘quick wipe down’ that never quite does the trick. Artificial turf fixes the problem for good! No mud, no dead patches, no more muddy paws on your floors. Just a backyard that looks as good as it functions, rain or shine.

Commercial pet turf ✔️

The project isn’t finished yet — but our part is. 👏

Cornerstone was brought in to complete the turf scope on this commercial project, and our crew got in, got it done, and delivered exactly what we said we would.

The best part? The project superintendent — who has previous experience with turf — told us:
“Everything looks great. Your guys got in & did what you said you were going to do. That’s some of the best turf work I’ve ever seen — and honestly, some of the best subs I’ve had on a project.”
That’s the kind of feedback we work for.
Our scope is complete. Now we can’t wait to see this entire project come together.

Part 6: Owner Involvement

Throughout this series, I’ve talked about the details that go into a quality artificial turf installation—from the base and edging to seams and selecting the right turf for your application.

But there’s one detail I haven’t talked about yet.

The person standing behind the project.

When you choose Cornerstone Turf Company, you’re not handed off from salesperson to project manager to installer. I’m involved from the first conversation through the final walkthrough because I genuinely care about the experience our customers have just as much as the finished product we install.

That doesn’t mean I swing every shovel or make every cut. It means I’m personally invested in making sure your project is done right, your questions are answered, and your expectations are met.

You don’t have to take my word for it.

Take a few minutes to read our Google reviews. They tell the story far better than I ever could. Then, if you think Cornerstone might be the right fit for your project, give me a call. I’d love the opportunity to earn your business.

Thank you for following along with this series. My goal has never been to tell you who to hire. It’s simply been to give you the knowledge to make the best decision for your home, your family, and your investment.

Because at the end of the day, I believe an informed customer is a happier customer.

Part 5: Choosing the Right Turf

One of the biggest misconceptions about artificial turf is that it’s all the same.

The reality is that there are hundreds of turf products available, and each one is designed for a different purpose. The best turf for a backyard putting green isn’t necessarily the best choice for a dog yard, playground, pool surround, or commercial space.

Living in Kansas also brings unique challenges. Our turf has to withstand everything from freezing winter temperatures and spring rains to hot summer days and repeated freeze-thaw cycles. That’s why the backing and construction of the turf are just as important as how it looks on the surface.

For pet applications, drainage and permeability become especially important. A quality pet turf should allow water and urine to move through the backing efficiently so the system can perform as intended and odors can be managed.

Beyond performance, there are also dozens of aesthetic options to consider. Turf comes in a variety of blade shapes, pile heights, color blends, face weights, and even cooling technologies designed to reduce surface temperatures in direct sunlight.

At Cornerstone, we don’t believe there’s one “best” turf for every customer. We believe there’s a best turf for your application, budget, and goals. That’s why we take the time to understand how you’ll use the space before recommending a product.

The best-looking turf isn’t always the best-performing turf.
And the most expensive turf isn’t always the right choice either.

Choosing the right product is about matching the turf to the way you’ll actually use your space.

Part 4: Seams

The goal is to minimize them whenever possible and to construct them in a way that reduces their visibility and maximizes durability.

One of the ways we do that at Cornerstone is by custom-ordering turf for each project. Rather than using leftover materials from previous jobs, we order materials specifically for your installation to reduce the number of seams from the start.

We work hard to provide quality installations while also meeting a variety of budgets. That’s why you’ll sometimes see us offer & install both standard and premium options, whether that’s turf selection or seam construction. Our standard seam is a straight seam. When installed correctly, it creates a strong, durable connection and is a great option for many projects. For customers looking for the most natural appearance possible, we also offer S seams. Rather than creating a straight line across the turf, an S seam follows a curved, irregular pattern that helps disguise where two pieces of turf come together. S seams are cut by hand and require significantly more attention to detail, care, time, and craftsmanship to construct properly.

Just as important as the shape of the seam is how it is constructed. We’ve seen installations where seams were secured primarily with nails. At Cornerstone, we use professional seam tape and turf adhesive to create a strong, permanent bond between sections of turf, helping ensure the seam remains secure and performs as intended for years to come.

The important thing isn’t whether a contractor uses straight seams or S seams. The important thing is whether the seams are constructed and secured properly and whether the project was designed to minimize seams from the start.

When seams are done right, you hardly notice them at all.
When they’re done poorly, they’re one of the first things you see.

Part 3: Edging Matters

When people think about artificial turf, they usually focus on the turf itself. They compare colors, pile heights, warranties, and drainage rates. Very few people ever ask about the edging.

The reality is that edging plays an important role in the long-term performance of the installation. It helps secure the perimeter of the turf, maintain clean lines, and keep everything locked in place as the ground expands, contracts, and settles over time.

I’ve seen projects where no edging was installed at all, and I’ve seen others where wood products were used because they were inexpensive and readily available. The problem is that these details are hidden once the project is complete, making them easy places to cut corners.

At Cornerstone, we use composite edging because it won’t rot, deteriorate, or break down when it’s in constant contact with the ground. It’s a small detail that most homeowners will never notice, but it’s one that contributes to the longevity of the installation.

Like the base material we talked about in Part 2, edging isn’t something you’ll see every day. In fact, if it’s doing its job, you’ll probably never think about it at all.

But if it fails, you’ll notice.

The best artificial turf installations are built on multiple small details that most people never see. That’s why when you’re comparing proposals, it’s important to look beyond the turf itself and ask questions about how the project is actually being constructed.

Because the turf is the visible product.

The details underneath are the performance product.

Part 2: What’s Under Your Turf Matters

Last week I started a series on how to compare artificial turf contractors and what separates a professional installation from one that may develop problems over time.

One thing I tell prospective customers all the time: even if you don’t choose Cornerstone Turf, I want you to have a successful project. I’m happy to review competing proposals because an informed customer is a happier customer.

One of the easiest places for a contractor to reduce costs is in the base material. The customer never sees the base material, which makes it one of the easiest places to cut corners. We’ve even repaired jobs where a contractor installed turf with no base material at all!

The main area we see cost-cutting is the use of AB3 or 1/2” minus aggregate. These materials are readily available, cost-effective, and compact very well, providing a smooth finish with less work. They are excellent products for many applications, including roads, driveways, parking lots, and even putting greens. But those applications have different drainage requirements than a majority of artificial turf applications.

With landscape and pet turf, we’re trying to create a stable surface while also maintaining long-term drainage. Dense aggregates contain a mixture of stone fines, sand, and crushed rock that compact tightly. While that’s desirable for the projects listed above, over time these materials can continue to tighten and reduce the drainage performance they initially provided under draining artificial turf.

At Cornerstone, our standard specification calls for 3+ inches of compacted clean gravel. This clean, angular aggregate contains very few fines, allowing water to move freely through the base while still providing excellent stability.

The result is a system designed to:
✔ Drain efficiently
✔ Resist standing water
✔ Help reduce odors in pet applications
✔ Maintain performance for years to come

How do you know if you’re getting a quality turf installation?
It’s one of the questions I get asked most often. 

• What makes one turf company different from another?
• Why do some installations last for years while others develop problems?
• What should I be looking for before I choose a turf company?

The answer might surprise you.

Most of what determines how your turf performs has very little to do with the turf itself. The real difference is often found in the details you can’t see once the project is complete, and in the experience, craftsmanship, and installation techniques of the contractor performing the work.

Over the next several posts, I’m going to pull back the curtain on the installation process and walk you through exactly what goes into a quality artificial turf installation—from excavation and base preparation to seams, drainage, infill, and finishing details.

No sales pitch.

No calling out competitors.

Just practical information to help you make the best decision for your home, business, pets, or putting green.

If you’ve ever wondered what separates a great turf installation from an average one, this series is for you.

Follow along as we start from the ground up.
