Where to Buy Artificial Turf Tools and Accessories in Phoenix
Wondering where to buy artificial turf tools and accessories in Phoenix? Turf suppliers carry the widest range of turf-specific products, like seam glue, odor-control infill, and turf nails. Big-box stores stock hand tools and some general supplies, and online retailers are handy for small accessories. Landscape supply yards sell the crushed rock and decomposed granite you need for the base. Heavy tools like plate compactors are easiest to rent from an equipment rental shop.
Phoenix conditions also change what you should buy. Hard caliche, aggressive Bermudagrass, monsoon storms, and 110°F afternoons all affect which nails, infill, and weed barrier hold up here. Below, you’ll find what to buy, where to get it, and the local tips that save you a second trip.
Where to Buy Turf Supplies in Phoenix: Your Options
| Where to Buy | Best For | Limitations |
| Turf supplier or showroom | Turf, seam glue, seam fabric, turf nails, odor-control infill | Fewer general hardware items |
| Big-box home improvement store | Hand tools, basic weed fabric, general adhesives | Limited turf-specific products and turf styles |
| Landscape supply yard | Crushed rock, decomposed granite, bulk base material | No turf or turf accessories |
| Equipment rental shop | Sod cutter, plate compactor, power broom, knee kicker | Rental only |
| Online retailers | Small accessories shipped to your door | Shipping costs on heavy items like infill and base rock |
Most DIY projects in the Valley need a stop at two or three of these. Buying turf and turf accessories from the same supplier makes it easier to match the right infill, nails, and glue to your turf.

Artificial Turf Accessories and What They Do
Whether you shop with us or somewhere else, these are the accessories most Phoenix turf projects need.
Infill for Phoenix Heat and Pets
Infill keeps turf blades standing and adds weight so the turf stays flat. There are three common types:
- Silica sand is the most economical option and works well in yards without pets.
- Zeolite infill absorbs ammonia from pet urine, which makes it a strong choice for dog yards.
- Coated sand infill adds an antimicrobial layer that helps limit bacteria and odor.
Heat speeds up the breakdown of pet urine into ammonia, so odor builds faster in Phoenix yards. For dog owners, zeolite or coated sand infill is usually the better choice. An enzyme-based turf deodorizer also helps, because it breaks down the odor-causing compounds in urine instead of just masking the smell.
Festival Turf carries all three infill types: #16 Silica Sand ($10 per 50 lb bag), ZeoDorizer ($18 per 40 lb bag), and CamoFill. Festival Turf also carries PE-51, an enzyme deodorizer ($18 per 32 oz bottle). Prices are current as of October 2026.
Turf Nails for Caliche Soil
Many Phoenix yards sit on caliche, a hard, cement-like layer of soil. Nails can bend or stop short when they hit it. Choosing the best base for artificial turf helps, since compacted crushed rock or decomposed granite gives nails a firm hold. If caliche sits within a few inches of the surface, though, you may still need to pre-drill.
Choose galvanized nails at least 5 inches long. Galvanized steel resists rust from monsoon moisture, and the extra length grips well in a compacted base. If you still hit caliche, a rotary hammer drill with a masonry bit lets you pre-drill pilot holes. Space nails about every 6 to 8 inches along the edges and seams.
Festival Turf stocks 5.5″ EG turf nails, which are electro-galvanized.
Seam Glue and Seam Fabric
Seams are where most DIY installs show their flaws. Turf seam adhesives come in two main types. One-part adhesives are easier to use but cure more slowly. Two-part adhesives are mixed on site and cure faster into a stronger, more rigid bond.
Heat shortens the working time on any adhesive, and two-part glues set even faster in the Phoenix sun. Plan seam work for early morning, mix only what you can use in a few minutes, and check the label for cure time. Always use seam fabric under the joint so the glue has something to bond to.
Festival Turf carries a two-part seam glue and matching seam fabric.
Weed Barrier for Bermudagrass
Bermudagrass is the grass many Phoenix turf projects replace, and it’s also the one most likely to come back. It spreads through both underground and above-ground runners and will find any gap it can. Kill and remove existing Bermuda before you start, ideally in the warm months when it’s actively growing, since it often takes more than one treatment. Then lay a permeable weed barrier over the compacted base, overlapping the seams so there are no gaps.
Choose a heavy-duty, permeable fabric so water can still drain through. A good barrier greatly reduces regrowth, but it won’t stop Bermuda completely, especially at the edges. Festival Turf carries a weed barrier in a 6′ x 300′ roll (1,800 square feet) for full backyards and a 3′ x 50′ roll (150 square feet) for small spaces.
Tools You Need for a DIY Turf Install
You can install turf yourself or hire a licensed contractor of your choice. If you’re going the DIY route, pick up a utility knife with extra blades, a tape measure, a chalk line, a rake, and a stiff broom at any hardware store. The heavier tools and base material come from elsewhere:
| Tool or Material | Buy or Rent | Where to Get It |
| Sod cutter | Rent | Equipment rental shop |
| Plate compactor | Rent | Equipment rental shop |
| Power broom | Rent | Equipment rental shop |
| Knee kicker (for stretching turf) | Rent | Equipment or flooring rental shop |
| Rotary hammer drill (for caliche) | Rent or buy | Equipment rental shop or hardware store |
| Crushed rock or decomposed granite base | Buy | Local landscape supply yard |
Our DIY videos walk through each stage of the install so you know when you’ll need each tool.
Phoenix Tips Before You Buy
Before you buy artificial turf tools and accessories in Phoenix, a little planning around the local weather and logistics can save you time, money, and an extra trip:
- Plan around monsoon season. It runs from June 15 to September 30. Sudden downpours can wash out a fresh base, and strong winds can lift unsecured turf edges. Watch the forecast and nail or glue the edges the same day you lay the turf.
- Add a stiff broom to your list. Haboobs leave dust and debris on turf, so you’ll be brushing it more often than in most places. A stiff-bristle broom or power broom keeps the blades upright and the drainage clear.
- Buy a little extra. Order about 10% more turf than your measured area for cuts and waste. Grab extra nails and a full pack of utility blades too. A trip back across the Valley mid-project costs more than the extra supplies.
- Plan how you’ll haul it. Turf rolls are often 15 feet wide, so a rolled piece is 15 feet long, too long for a standard pickup bed. Cut pieces can weigh a few hundred pounds, and full rolls weigh much more. Bring a trailer or a long-bed truck, or ask your supplier about delivery.

FAQs
Where can I buy artificial turf accessories in Phoenix?
You can buy them from turf suppliers, big-box home improvement stores, and online retailers. Turf suppliers carry the widest range of turf-specific products, like seam glue, turf nails, and odor-control infill. For the rest of your install, landscape supply yards sell base material, and equipment rental shops rent heavy tools like plate compactors. Festival Turf’s showroom at 10100 W. Montebello Ave #150 in Glendale stocks turf and accessories in one place.
What is the best infill for artificial turf in Phoenix?
For yards without pets, silica sand is the most economical choice. For dog yards, zeolite infill or coated sand infill helps control odor, which gets worse in Phoenix heat.
Do I need a weed barrier under turf in Phoenix?
Yes, especially if your yard has Bermudagrass. Remove the existing Bermuda first, then lay a permeable weed barrier over the compacted base before the turf goes down.
Can I install artificial turf during Phoenix summer?
You can, but plan your work for early morning. Turf gets very hot to handle, and adhesives set faster. During monsoon season, secure the edges the same day you lay the turf.
