Chick-fil-A in Georgia asked our team to convert a small fenced patio into a clean, low-maintenance guest area. The mix of concrete and natural grass created mud, drainage problems, and uneven wear. Artificial Turf Tampa designed and installed a commercial synthetic grass system that looks polished every day and stands up to heavy foot traffic.
Site Assessment and Design
The patio sits between metal fencing and concrete walks with several posts and tight corners. We templated the area for precise cuts, selected a dense commercial turf with a natural pile height, and planned a layout that minimized seams while preserving clear access to seating and service doors.
Installation Highlights
Surface preparation. We removed soft material, repaired edge spalls, and built a stable base where turf met concrete to prevent ripples and premature wear.
Drainage. Subtle grading now moves water to existing drains so the surface stays usable after rain and routine washdowns.
Seams and perimeters. Panels were joined with commercial seaming tape and adhesive, then brushed for a uniform grain. Edges were mechanically secured at fence lines and transitions for durability.
Infill and grooming. A silica-based antimicrobial infill adds ballast, supports the blades, and helps manage heat. Final grooming produced a neat, manicured finish.
Benefits for Operations
Consistent brand presentation. The patio keeps a uniform green that complements Chick-fil-A™s exterior and signage.
Cleaner walkways. No mud or clippings means fewer slip hazards and less cleanup inside and out.
Faster turnover. Spills and crumbs rinse away quickly so staff can reset the space between rushes.
Built for traffic. The dense face weight and secure seams resist wear in small footprints where guests gather.
All-weather reliability. Georgia heat and pop-up showers do not compromise appearance or access.
Family friendly. The pile is soft underfoot so the area is comfortable for parents and kids.
Results
The finished installation reads as a crisp green rectangle framed by the fence and concrete. Guests see a tidy patio that feels intentional. Staff report simpler daily upkeep and faster post-storm recovery. Management gains predictable maintenance costs and a surface that supports brand standards.
Simple Care Plan
Brush traffic lanes weekly, rinse as needed, top off infill annually in high-use corners, and schedule a seasonal deep clean for best appearance.
