Turf Mission
We started TNT Turf because Houston families deserve better than losing weekends to mowing and watering. Our mission is simple, give you a lawn you can enjoy every day, all year long, without the work that usually comes with it.

Storefront Turf Installation in Houston, TX
Your frontage is the first thing a customer sees, and in Houston that is usually bare concrete, a mud strip by the door, or grass that browns out by August. We install commercial artificial turf over the slab you already have, so restaurant patios, retail entries and window displays stay green through the heat and drain fast after a storm.

Storefront Turf Installation in Houston, TX
Your storefront has to sell from the sidewalk before anyone walks in. In Houston that is a hard ask. A patio slab bakes from June through September, a leased strip-center bay often has no hose bibb and no irrigation zone at all, and the planting strip by the door turns to mud after a downpour. Commercial turf gives you a clean green surface on the frontage you already have, with no watering, no mowing crew, and no bare patches in front of the entrance.
Most storefront work goes straight over the existing concrete. We read the slab's fall and where water leaves the property, lay a permeable pad, then glue and edge the turf so it holds at doorways, corners, and traffic lanes. The threshold is detailed so the surface sits flush where people walk in, and we work with your property owner or landlord on any approval the frontage needs before a crew shows up. We can run the install on nights or closed days so your doors stay open. We cover retail corridors across greater Houston, from Washington Avenue and Montrose to Rice Village, Sugar Land Town Square, and Market Street in The Woodlands.
What Can I Expect From Storefront Turf in Houston?
Yes, and on a storefront that is usually the best way to build it. Turf goes down over sound concrete, so there is no demolition, no haul-off, and no dust in front of your door. A permeable pad goes under it, which carries water away and adds a little give underfoot, then the perimeter is glued and edged so nothing lifts at the doorway or the corners. We check the slab first. If it ponds water or has cracked and moved, that gets sorted before any turf goes on. Because it is a glue-down system sitting on your slab, it can also be taken back up at the end of a lease.
Drinks rinse off with plain water, which covers most of what lands on a restaurant patio. The fiber sheds liquid instead of soaking it up the way an outdoor rug does, so a spilled beer drains through rather than sitting in the pile. Sweep or blow the crumbs off at close, rinse the traffic lanes with a hose, and use a mild turf-safe cleaner on anything sticky. Grease is the one exception, because cooking oil does not rinse out. Keep a hard, cleanable surface or a grease mat under fryers, grills, and the smoker line. If you are putting turf anywhere near food service, confirm the surface with your health inspector before you build.
Straight down through the turf and off the slab the way your frontage already drains. Houston takes around 50 inches of rain a year and hurricane season runs June 1 through November 30, so the design case is a short, violent downpour, not a drizzle. The backing is punched with drainage holes and the pad under it is permeable, so water passes through instead of sheeting across the surface and pooling at your door. That is why we read the slab's existing fall and where water leaves the property before we quote. Ask us for the manufacturer's published drain rate on whichever product you pick.
We detail the entry so the turf does not build a lip at your threshold. Turf plus pad adds height, so at a doorway we recess the assembly, feather the pad down, or finish it with a beveled transition strip, and the surface sits flush where people walk in. We will not tell you a roll of turf is accessible, because that is a call about the finished installation and not about a product. What we will do is build the transition flat and firm, keep the surface stable and slip resistant when it is wet, and put the entry detail in front of your architect or code consultant before we install.

Installation DayA Simple Process
A Simple Process
From Start to Finish.
Our proven installation process ensures every project is completed efficiently with exceptional attention to detail.
We strip the existing lawn and excavate down to a clean, stable sub-grade. Old roots, thatch, and loose topsoil all come out, because anything organic left behind will settle later and telegraph through the finished turf.
Flexible poly board is staked around the entire perimeter to lock the base in place. It holds your shape through curves and radii, keeps the aggregate from migrating into beds, and gives the turf a clean edge to be fastened to.
The first base layer goes down and is graded for drainage. This is the load-bearing course that carries foot traffic and keeps the surface from rutting, and it is where the finished contours of the yard are established.
A second, finer layer is screeded over the first to true the surface. Two layers instead of one is what separates a lawn that stays flat for years from one that dips and waves after the first wet season.
The base is plate-compacted to spec, then the turf is rolled out, allowed to relax, and cut to the yard. Seams are aligned to a single blade direction and joined so they disappear, and the turf is nailed off along every edge.
Silica infill is spread and worked in with a power broom, lifting every blade upright as it goes. Infill is what gives the lawn its ballast, its underfoot feel, and its ability to stand back up after traffic.
We do a final groom, clear the site, and walk the finished yard with you edge to edge. What you are left with is a lawn that looks cut every day of the year, with no mowing, watering, or seasonal brown-out.

Commercial Turf Cost
How Much Does Commercial Turf Cost Per Square Foot?
Most commercial turf in Houston runs between $9 and $15 per square foot installed. Where a storefront lands in that range comes down to the grass you pick, what we find under it, and how much edge and threshold detail the frontage needs.
There is no flat rate, and we will not quote one over the phone. Set the number against what the frontage already costs you every year: a landscape maintenance contract, seasonal color rotations, and a water bill all repeat, and a turf frontage does not. We measure on site, give you the real figure before any work starts, and the estimate is free.

Built For Traffic
How Long Does Turf Last Under Constant Foot Traffic?
A commercial-grade turf holds up for many years of daily foot traffic when it is specified for the job. What decides that is pile height, face weight, and how the walking lanes are built, not the calendar. A storefront takes far more concentrated wear than a back lawn, so we put a shorter, denser grass in the doorways and traffic lanes and save the plush blends for the seating areas.
- A shorter, denser pile in doorways and lanes, where the wear actually happens
- UV-stable color that holds up under the Gulf sun instead of fading out
- Infill and a regular brushing that keep the fibers standing back up
- Backed by the manufacturer's warranty from names like Shaw Sports Turf and XGrass
Heat On The Patio
Does Artificial Turf Get Hot in the Houston Sun?
Yes. Turf sitting in direct sun runs hotter than the air around it, and a July afternoon in Houston is already in the mid-90s with a heat index above 100. On a patio where people sit, that is worth planning for, and it is easy to plan for. Shade is the biggest lever you have, the build itself can be specified cooler, and a quick pass with a hose drops the surface temperature in minutes.
Shade Over Seating
Awnings, shade sails, and patio umbrellas do more for comfort than any other single choice. Turf under shade stays close to the air temperature around it.
A Cooler Spec, Then a Rinse
Lighter fiber blends and sand-based or cooling infills hold less heat than a dark, dense build. A hose-down before dinner service, or a misting system, cools the surface fast.
Keep Flame and Glare Off It
Turf fiber melts, so it stays back from patio heaters, fire pits, and open flame. Reflected sun off low-E storefront glass can do the same, so we look at the facade before laying out the patio.

FAQFrequently asked,
Frequently asked,
clearly answered.
How long does an installation take?
Most residential projects are complete in 2–4 days. Larger commercial installs typically take 1–2 weeks.
What is included in your warranty?
Every install carries the manufacturer's product warranty against fading and wear, plus our own workmanship coverage on seams, edging, and base. Full terms come with your proposal.
Is artificial turf safe for pets and children?
Yes. We install lead-free, non-toxic turf over a permeable base that drains quickly, and we can add an antimicrobial infill for pet areas to keep odours down.
How much maintenance does artificial turf need?
A rinse now and then and an occasional cross-brush of the high-traffic paths. No mowing, no watering, no fertiliser, and no seasonal brown-out.
Will the turf get too hot in the Houston sun?
Turf runs warmer than a natural lawn in direct sun. We specify cooler yarn and lighter infill where a yard gets full afternoon exposure, and a quick rinse brings the surface temperature straight back down.
How much does an artificial turf installation cost?
Pricing depends on square footage, the turf you choose, and how much prep the site needs. We measure on site and give you a fixed written quote before any work starts.
