We’ve been transforming Bay Area properties since 1975. We’re not the fly-by-night contractors you’ll find online—we’re the family-operated company your neighbors have trusted for over 50 years.
We know Portola Valley’s unique landscape challenges. The wildland-urban interface. The fire safety requirements. The HOA standards. We’ve handled them all, and we build every installation to last decades, not just years.
Our 3D design process shows you exactly what you’re getting before we break ground. And unlike most contractors, we guarantee our start and completion dates—something almost unheard of in landscape construction.
We start with an in-person consultation at your property. No generic estimates—we assess your specific soil, drainage, and usage needs. Then we create a 3D design so you see exactly how your new lawn will look.
Next comes the precision installation. We remove existing grass, prepare a proper base with drainage, and install your turf with seamless edges. Every detail is handled by our experienced crew, not subcontractors.
Finally, we walk through the completed project with you. We explain maintenance (there’s almost none), provide care instructions, and make sure you’re completely satisfied before we consider the job done.

Most residential artificial turf installations in Portola Valley take 3-5 days from start to finish. Smaller areas like front yards might be completed in 2-3 days, while larger backyards or complex designs can take up to a week.
The timeline depends on your property’s size, existing conditions, and any special requirements like drainage work or hardscape integration. We provide guaranteed start and completion dates upfront—something rare in landscape construction.
Weather rarely affects our timeline since we work in all conditions except heavy rain. We also coordinate around your schedule and any HOA requirements specific to Portola Valley neighborhoods.
Yes, modern artificial turf is completely safe for children and pets. Our turf materials are non-toxic, lead-free, and meet all EPA safety standards. The surface is actually cleaner than natural grass since there’s no mud, pesticides, or fertilizers.
For pet owners, artificial turf is especially beneficial. It drains quickly, resists odors, and won’t get torn up by digging. Pet waste cleanup is easier, and you don’t have brown spots from urine like you get with natural grass.
The surface stays cooler than concrete or asphalt, though it can get warm in direct summer sun. We recommend hosing it down on extremely hot days, just like you would a deck or patio.
Artificial turf can actually improve fire safety compared to natural grass, especially during California’s dry seasons. Unlike natural grass that becomes fire fuel when it dies or goes dormant, synthetic turf doesn’t contribute to fire spread.
Many Portola Valley neighborhoods in the wildland-urban interface have fuel reduction requirements. Artificial turf eliminates the need for seasonal mowing and creates defensible space without ongoing maintenance.
However, you should check with your specific HOA and local fire department about their current guidelines. Some areas have specific requirements about defensible space materials, and we can help ensure your installation meets all local fire safety codes.
Proper drainage is crucial for artificial turf longevity, especially with Portola Valley’s clay soils and seasonal rainfall patterns. We always assess your property’s drainage during our initial consultation and design the installation accordingly.
Our installation process includes removing existing soil to proper depth, installing a drainage base layer, and ensuring water flows away from your home. The turf itself drains at 30+ inches per hour—faster than most natural grass.
For properties with challenging drainage or slope issues, we can integrate French drains or other solutions. The goal is ensuring your artificial turf performs perfectly through Portola Valley’s wet winters and dry summers without pooling or runoff problems.
Artificial turf maintenance in Portola Valley is minimal compared to natural grass. You’ll never mow, water, fertilize, or reseed again. The main tasks are occasional rinsing to remove dust and periodic brushing to keep fibers upright.
During Portola Valley’s dry season, a monthly rinse keeps the turf looking fresh. If you have pets, you’ll want to rinse more frequently and use an enzyme cleaner occasionally. Leaf removal in fall is the same as any landscape surface.
The turf is designed to handle Portola Valley’s climate extremes—from winter rains to summer heat—without fading or deteriorating. Most homeowners spend less than an hour per month on turf maintenance versus 3-4 hours weekly for natural grass.
