Your mornings start differently now. No more dragging hoses across brown patches or calculating water bills. Your backyard stays consistently green through California’s droughts and heat waves.
You’re not spending Saturday mornings behind a mower anymore. The kids and pets play on a surface that’s always clean, never muddy, and completely safe from harsh chemicals. Your neighbors ask questions—good ones.
Your water bill drops by hundreds of dollars annually. The time you used to spend on lawn care? That’s yours again. And when friends visit, they can’t tell it’s not real grass until they touch it.
We’ve been transforming Bay Area properties since 1975. We understand Woodside’s unique climate challenges—from the coastal fog rolling over the hills to the intense summer heat that burns natural grass.
We’ve seen every soil condition, slope, and drainage challenge this area presents. Our family-operated approach means you work directly with experienced professionals who’ve built our reputation on personal relationships and complete client satisfaction.
While others cut corners, we use cutting-edge 3D technology to show you exactly what your space will look like before installation begins. We guarantee start and completion dates—something rare in our industry—and provide daily updates throughout your project.
We start with an in-person consultation at your property. No generic estimates—we listen to your specific needs, assess your space, and understand how you use your outdoor areas.
Next, our team creates detailed 3D renderings so you see exactly how your finished lawn will look. We handle permits, coordinate schedules, and manage every detail from ground preparation to final installation.
Installation typically takes 2-3 days for most residential projects. We excavate existing grass, grade and compact the base, install proper drainage, and lay your premium synthetic turf with precision seaming. You’ll receive daily progress updates and a final walkthrough to ensure everything meets our exacting standards.

Every installation includes premium synthetic grass engineered for Bay Area conditions. UV-stabilized fibers resist fading under intense California sun, while advanced drainage systems handle our occasional heavy rains without pooling or runoff issues.
For Woodside’s active families, we include antimicrobial infill that prevents bacteria buildup and controls odors—essential for pets and children. The backing system provides proper cushioning while maintaining durability under heavy foot traffic.
Your project comes with comprehensive warranties on both materials and installation. We also provide ongoing maintenance guidance, though you’ll find synthetic turf requires minimal upkeep compared to natural grass. Most homeowners report saving 55 hours annually on lawn maintenance while cutting water usage by up to 70%.
Artificial turf installation in Woodside typically ranges from $12-18 per square foot, depending on the quality of turf, site preparation requirements, and project complexity. A typical 500 square foot backyard project costs between $6,000-9,000.
The investment pays for itself within 5-7 years through water savings and eliminated maintenance costs. Most Woodside homeowners save $800-1,200 annually on water bills alone, plus hundreds more on fertilizers, pest control, and lawn care services.
We provide detailed, transparent estimates with no hidden fees. Your quote includes all materials, professional installation, site preparation, and warranties.
Modern synthetic turf is engineered to stay significantly cooler than older products. We use advanced fiber technology and cooling infill systems that reduce surface temperatures by 15-20 degrees compared to standard artificial grass.
For Woodside’s climate, we recommend lighter-colored turf options and proper installation techniques that promote airflow. Strategic placement of shade structures or existing trees further reduces heat absorption.
Most clients find the surface comfortable for barefoot use even during peak summer temperatures. The cooling benefits far outweigh the occasional warm days, especially compared to the constant watering and maintenance required for natural grass during hot weather.
Premium artificial turf installed properly lasts 15-20 years in Bay Area conditions, with some high-end products warranted for up to 25 years. The key factors are quality materials, professional installation, and minimal maintenance.
Bay Area’s Mediterranean climate is actually ideal for synthetic turf longevity. We don’t face the extreme freeze-thaw cycles that damage turf in other regions, and our moderate rainfall helps keep surfaces clean naturally.
We use UV-stabilized fibers that resist fading and degradation from California’s intense sun. Proper drainage installation prevents water damage, while quality infill systems maintain blade structure and appearance over decades.
Yes, modern artificial turf is completely safe for children and pets when properly installed with quality materials. We use non-toxic, lead-free synthetic grass that meets all safety standards for residential use.
Our installations include antimicrobial infill that prevents bacteria growth and controls odors from pet waste. The surface provides consistent traction without the mud, holes, or chemical treatments associated with natural grass.
For families with young children, synthetic turf eliminates exposure to fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides. The surface is also hypoallergenic, reducing issues for family members with grass allergies or sensitivities.
Artificial turf requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass. Monthly tasks include removing leaves and debris, occasional rinsing to remove dust, and light brushing to keep fibers upright.
For pet owners, we recommend regular rinsing of waste areas and quarterly application of enzyme cleaners to maintain freshness. No mowing, watering, fertilizing, or pest control treatments are needed.
Most homeowners spend less than 2 hours monthly on synthetic turf maintenance versus 4-6 hours weekly on natural grass care. This dramatic reduction in upkeep is one of the primary reasons Woodside residents choose artificial turf.
Absolutely. Woodside’s hillside properties present unique drainage and slope challenges that we’ve successfully addressed for decades. Proper installation techniques ensure synthetic turf stays secure on slopes while managing water runoff effectively.
We install specialized drainage systems that direct water away from structures while preventing erosion. For steep slopes, we use additional anchoring methods and select turf products specifically designed for challenging terrain.
Our experience with Bay Area topography means we anticipate and solve drainage issues before they become problems. Every installation includes proper grading and drainage planning to ensure long-term performance regardless of your property’s unique characteristics.
