Artificial Turf Installation
Artificial turf looks real when the base is flat, the seams are invisible and the edges are clean. Ours sits on a compacted, draining base with a paver or bender board border.

Built right, start to finish
Turf saves water, stays green through dry summers and holds up to kids and dogs. It also fits well with hardscape: we often install turf alongside a new patio, between stepping stone pads, or as strips between driveway pavers.
The difference between turf that looks great and turf that ripples and smells is the base. We remove the old lawn and roots, compact a crushed rock base, and lay the turf with seams glued and edges secured.

What's under your turf
This is the build-up we use for artificial turf. Depths change with soil, slope and use.
You'll never see these layers once the job is done. They're the reason the surface stays flat, drains properly and doesn't need to be redone in five years.
Typical build-up. Depths are adjusted to your soil and use.
How we build it

Sod, roots and 3 to 4 inches of soil are removed and hauled away.

Weed barrier fabric is laid where needed.

Artificial Turf questions
How long does artificial turf last?
Quality turf typically lasts 10 to 15 years or more, depending on sun exposure and use.
Is artificial turf good for dogs?
Yes, with a draining base and pet infill. Rinsing pet areas occasionally keeps them fresh.
Does turf get hot?
Turf in full sun can get warm in summer. Lighter infills and a quick rinse help, and shade from trees or a pergola makes a big difference.
