- Dogs tearing the same corner every week
- Want a clean look next to new patio

Practical questions before you book.
Answers for homeowners comparing artificial turf options in Chilliwack.
What makes artificial turf in Chilliwack different from a DIY roll?
The difference is underground: excavation depth, drainage, compaction, and edge restraint. Wesma builds the base so the turf stays flat and drains through Fraser Valley wet seasons, not just a carpet over soil.
Can you install turf on a sloped Chilliwack lot?
Often yes. Slopes need careful grading, possible retaining edges, and drainage planning. We assess grade on the site walk and flag any wall or excavation work before quoting.
How do I keep artificial turf looking clean year-round?
Rinse debris, brush the pile occasionally, and spot-treat pet areas. We review a simple care routine at handoff so maintenance stays light compared with a living lawn.
Will turf get too hot in summer sun?
Darker piles can warm up on peak summer days. We discuss lighter faces, optional cooling rinses, and shaded vs full-sun placements when selecting product for your yard.
Do you handle permits or HOA paperwork?
Most residential turf installs do not require a city permit, but strata or HOA rules can apply. Share any guidelines early and we will plan the finish to match approval requirements.
What is included in a Wesma turf estimate?
Site assessment, base prep scope, turf product options, edging approach, timeline, and a clear price. Call 604-845-2095. The initial estimate conversation is no-obligation.
Can turf replace a failed lawn under trees in Sardis or Vedder?
Shade-killed grass is a common reason Chilliwack homeowners switch. Turf does not need sunlight to stay green; we still design drainage around tree roots and drip lines carefully.
