Artificial Grass Lawn Installation
A green yard all summer, with no mowing, watering or fertilizing. We clear the old lawn, build a base that drains, and lay turf cut to your yard.
Why bay-area yards switch to turf
Around Galveston Bay a grass lawn has a hard life: heat for months, standing water after storms, and soil that runs from sticky clay to loose sand. Brown patches and mud are what most people are trying to get rid of.
An artificial lawn takes the mowing, watering and fertilizing off your list. It does not fix bad drainage by itself, though. That part is the base underneath, and it is most of the job.
What goes into a turf lawn
Clear the old lawn
Grass, roots and weeds come out, down to firm ground, so nothing grows back up through the turf.
Grade for runoff
Flat lots get a gentle slope so rain runs off instead of sitting under the turf.
Compacted base
A compacted base layer that drains and keeps the surface flat for years of foot traffic.
Seams and edges
Turf cut to beds, walks and fences, with seams joined so the grain runs one way.
Choosing turf for a lawn
Lawn turf is mostly about looks and feel: blade height, color, and how soft it is underfoot. If the lawn also gets dogs or heavy play, a denser turf holds up better. It's worth seeing and feeling samples before you choose.
- Pile height
- About 1.5 to 2.5 in Taller looks fuller; shorter stands up better to traffic.
- Drainage
- Roughly 44 to over 1,000 in/hr The range across the lawn turf we work with. The base matters as much.
- Infill
- Brushed in after laying Holds the blades upright and weighs the turf down.
