Why More PTAs Are Choosing Turf for Schools

You know the frustration—cancelled recess, muddy shoes, and teachers scrambling for indoor activities. When school grounds don’t work, everything else gets harder.

That’s why more PTAs are leading the charge on artificial turf installation for schools.

Here’s how turf helps your campus:

No more mud. Our turf stays clean, even after heavy rain.
Year-round play. No “field closed” signs. Kids play safely every day.
Safe for everyone. Our school playground turf is ADA-compliant, hypoallergenic, and injury-conscious.
Less work for staff. No mowing, no mud cleanup, no last-minute recess changes.
A visible legacy. Your PTA’s name will be tied to a project the whole community celebrates.

Whether it’s the main field, a recess area, or a pre-K play zone, school turf installation is one upgrade your community will thank you for every single day.

What Texas PTA Leaders Are Saying

“Wonderful work! They came to my school to install turf on parts of the playground, and it came out amazing! It only took them a day and a half to install the turf. Everyone was very professional, and they did not leave any mess. I will definitely recommend Lone Star Turf to anyone needing turf installed.”

Frequently Asked Questions About Turf Installation in Schools

Project Justifications & Outcomes

Why should we install turf instead of natural grass? −

Natural grass struggles with mud, bare patches, and high maintenance—especially in Texas weather. Turf gives kids a safe, green space all year, with less work and worry for staff and parents.

What are the main benefits for our students and the broader school community? +

Year-round play, fewer injuries, no rainouts or muddy messes, and a beautiful, welcoming space for gatherings. It’s easier on kids, easier on budgets—and a real point of pride for the community.

Is the turf safe for kids, including those with allergies or sensitivities? +

Absolutely. We only use turf that meets the highest safety and health standards—including for allergens and heat. We’ll walk you through the certifications, and you can always talk to parents from schools we’ve already helped.

What happens to the old field or playground during renovation? +

We remove old surfaces carefully, recycle what we can, and install your new turf with minimal disruption. We keep the campus safe, neat, and as accessible as possible throughout the project.

How long will the turf last, and what is the warranty? +

Our turf fields and playgrounds are built to last 10–15 years or more, with warranties to match. We stand by our work—if you need us, we’re just a call away.

Process & Timeline

What is the process from start to finish, and how long does installation take? −

From estimate to grand opening, it’s usually a few months, but installation can be done in as little as 2–4 weeks, often during summer or breaks. We handle assessment, proposals, school board presentations, and keep you updated every step.

What disruptions should we expect during the installation (school use, noise, safety)? +

We work hand-in-hand with school staff to minimize disruptions—most projects happen when students are off-campus. Our crew is professional, tidy, and always safety-first.

How soon can the field/playground be used after installation? +

Usually, right away! Once we’ve wrapped up and done our quality check, it’s ready for fun—rain or shine.

Funding & Budget

How much does a turf installation typically cost? −

Cost depends on field/playground size and options. We provide clear, tailored quotes up front, so there are no surprises. Ask us for a free site assessment and estimate.

Can the school/PTA fundraise in stages or secure grants for this project? +

Absolutely. Many PTAs phase their projects or combine grants, sponsorships, and fundraisers. We provide guides, sample grant applications, and fundraising tips to make it easier.

Are there hidden costs (maintenance, infill, repairs, etc.)? +

No hidden fees. Our quotes include all expected costs. Ongoing upkeep is minimal compared to natural grass—no watering, mowing, or chemicals.

Is the vendor experienced in supporting PTA-led fundraising and providing documentation for grant applications? +

Yes—we’ve walked alongside dozens of Texas PTAs, providing everything from fundraising flyers to board-ready proposals and compliance docs.

Vendor Credibility

Has this vendor worked with other local schools? Can we see references or case studies? −

We’re proud to be trusted by schools across Texas. We’ll gladly share references and arrange visits to recent projects—just ask.

Are you an approved vendor for our district? +

We work with many Texas districts and are happy to help with any paperwork needed for “approved vendor” status if your district requires it.

Can parents or the PTA visit a nearby completed project? +

Of course! We encourage it—seeing the difference in person makes it real.

Maintenance & Durability

What maintenance is required, and how does it compare to natural grass? −

Turf is low-maintenance: occasional cleaning and quick checks, but no mowing, painting, watering, or mud management. Less time spent, more fun had.

Does turf get too hot for kids in Texas sun? How is this issue managed? +

Texas summers are tough, no doubt. Our turf is designed to stay cooler, and we’ll recommend best practices (shading, watering if needed on extreme days). Most schools find it’s manageable and worth the trade-off for year-round usability.

How are repairs handled, and who do we contact for support? +

We’re your neighbors, not just your contractors. Call us anytime—warranty issues, touch-ups, or just questions. We believe in real service, not just “install and vanish.”

Environmental & Health Concerns

Is the turf environmentally friendly and does it reduce water/chemical use? −

Turf dramatically cuts water and eliminates the need for fertilizers and pesticides. We offer options with recyclable and eco-friendly materials—just ask, and we’ll walk you through them.

Are there concerns about microplastics, runoff, or recycling at end-of-life? +

We address these concerns with the latest safety data and can recommend turf and infill options that minimize microplastic risk. When the time comes, we guide you through safe removal and recycling.
