What homeowners say
- 5 out of 5
Sample review: they drew a plan we could picture, then built it in nine days. The drip timer was set before they left.
Dana M.Sample reviewGoogle, - 5 out of 5
Sample review: our front yard was rock and weeds. Now it is shade trees and a paver walk, and the kids actually play out there.
Luis R.Sample reviewNextdoor, - 5 out of 5
Sample review: the crew swept the driveway every single day. Small thing, but it told us how they work.
Amara T.Sample reviewYelp, - 4 out of 5
Sample review: the turf came in a week late because of the supplier. They called us the day they knew, and the install itself was clean.
Greg P.Sample reviewFacebook, - 5 out of 5

Questions homeowners ask
How much water does a desert yard need?
Less than grass, but it still needs water, especially the first two summers. We set the drip system and give you a watering schedule by season.
Is the design free?
The walkthrough and estimate are free. A full drawn plan has a design fee, and we take it off the build price if you hire us to build it.
How long does a yard take?
Most front yards take one to two weeks on site once materials arrive. Bigger builds with pavers and lighting take longer, and we give you the dates in writing.
Does artificial turf get hot?
Turf gets hotter than plants in full sun. We talk through shade, color and where turf works best before you choose it.
