Before & After Artificial Grass Transformations Toronto & GTA

See how artificial grass can completely transform real yards across Toronto and the GTA. These before and after photos show the difference a professionally installed synthetic lawn can make — from patchy, muddy, or shaded spaces to clean, green, low‑maintenance outdoor areas.

You’ll find examples of backyards, shaded side yards, pool surrounds, putting greens, and pet‑friendly spaces that now stay usable in all seasons. No mud, no mowing, better drainage, and a consistently green surface.

Every project in this gallery is a real Design Turf installation — real homes, real families, real results.

Whether you’re upgrading a small city yard or a large suburban property, these transformations show what’s possible with premium artificial grass and expert installation.

Before & After Gallery: Frequently Asked Questions

How long does an artificial grass installation take?

Most residential installations take 1–2 days, depending on the size of the area, access, and the amount of base preparation required.

Larger or more complex spaces may take slightly longer, but our team works efficiently to minimize disruption.

Do you remove the existing lawn before installing artificial grass?

Yes. We remove the old grass, soil, and debris, then build a proper crushed rock base to ensure drainage, stability, and long‑term performance.

Proper base preparation is the #1 factor in long‑term durability and drainage performance.

This preparation is what makes the finished surface smooth, durable, and long‑lasting.

Is artificial grass safe for pets and children?

Absolutely. Our turf products are non‑toxic, lead‑free, and designed for safe use by pets and children.

They’re also easy to clean, resist odors, and stay mud‑free year‑round.

How does artificial grass hold up in Canadian winters?

High‑quality turf is engineered for freeze–thaw cycles and performs extremely well in Toronto’s climate.

Artificial grass stays green year‑round — even through snow, ice, and heavy rain.

It drains quickly, resists frost damage, and maintains its appearance in all seasons.

Can artificial grass be installed on uneven or sloped areas?

Yes. We grade, level, and shape the base material to ensure proper drainage and a natural‑looking finish.

Sloped yards, uneven ground, and tricky layouts are no problem for our installation team.
