Picture this: Saturday mornings are yours again. No more dragging the mower out of the garage or watching brown patches spread across your lawn despite constant watering. Your artificial turf stays green through California’s toughest droughts and hottest summers.
Your water bill drops by hundreds of dollars annually. The kids and pets can play on a surface that drains perfectly and never turns into a muddy mess. Neighbors stop to ask about your consistently beautiful lawn while theirs struggle with Highland’s challenging soil and water restrictions.
You’re not just getting artificial grass—you’re getting back your time, reducing your environmental impact, and creating an outdoor space that actually enhances your property value instead of draining your weekends and wallet.
We’ve been transforming Highland properties since 1975. We understand exactly what works in San Bernardino County’s unique climate and soil conditions—from the seasonal temperature swings to the ongoing water restrictions that make traditional lawns increasingly impractical.
As a family-operated business, we’ve built our reputation on relationships, not just installations. Every artificial turf project gets the same attention to detail that’s made us the Bay Area’s trusted landscape partner for over five decades.
Highland homeowners choose us because we guarantee start and completion dates, provide daily project updates, and use 3D technology to show you exactly what your finished lawn will look like before we break ground.
We start with an in-person consultation at your Highland property. No generic estimates—we assess your specific soil conditions, drainage needs, and how you actually use your outdoor space. Using our 3D design technology, you’ll see exactly what your finished artificial turf will look like.
Next comes site preparation. We excavate to the proper depth, install a professionally graded base system, and ensure perfect drainage—critical in Highland’s clay-heavy soils. This foundation work determines how your turf will perform for the next 15-20 years.
The installation itself is where our experience shows. We carefully seam the artificial grass, secure all edges, and apply the right infill system for your specific needs—whether that’s pet-friendly antimicrobial options or cooling technology for Highland’s hot summers. Every detail gets checked twice before we consider the job complete.

Your artificial turf installation includes everything needed for long-term success in Highland’s specific conditions. We provide premium synthetic grass designed for California’s UV exposure and temperature extremes, plus professional-grade base materials that handle our area’s seasonal ground movement.
Highland properties often deal with challenging drainage due to clay soils and hillside lots. That’s why every installation includes a properly engineered base system with drainage solutions tailored to your specific site conditions. We also include edge restraints, infill systems, and seaming that’s designed to last decades, not just years.
For Highland pet owners, we offer specialized turf systems with enhanced drainage and antimicrobial infill that eliminates odors naturally. These systems cost slightly more upfront but save thousands in maintenance and replacement costs over time. We also provide cooling technology options that keep your artificial grass comfortable even during Highland’s hottest summer days.
Artificial turf installation in Highlands typically ranges from $12-18 per square foot, including materials and professional installation. The total cost depends on your specific site conditions, the type of turf selected, and any additional features like pet-friendly systems or enhanced drainage.
For a typical Highland backyard of 500 square feet, expect to invest $6,000-9,000. While this seems substantial upfront, most homeowners save $1,200-6,000 annually on water bills, maintenance, and lawn care services. Over the 15-20 year lifespan of quality artificial turf, the investment typically pays for itself while adding property value.
We provide detailed, written estimates after evaluating your specific Highland property. Factors like slope, soil conditions, and access can affect pricing, which is why we never give generic quotes over the phone.
Modern artificial turf performs excellently in Highland’s climate when properly installed with the right materials. We use UV-stabilized synthetic grass that won’t fade or degrade under California’s intense summer sun, plus cooling infill systems that keep surface temperatures manageable.
Highland’s temperature swings—from winter lows to 100°+ summer days—actually favor artificial turf over natural grass. While traditional lawns go dormant or die in extreme heat, synthetic turf maintains its appearance year-round. The key is choosing quality materials and proper installation that accounts for thermal expansion.
We also install drainage systems designed for Highland’s clay soils and occasional heavy rains. This prevents water pooling and ensures your artificial turf drains properly during both dry periods and our area’s intense winter storms.
Yes, artificial turf installation is one of the most effective ways to comply with California’s AB 1572 and local Highland water restrictions. Unlike decorative natural grass that’s now prohibited in many commercial and HOA settings, synthetic turf requires no irrigation while maintaining the green appearance property owners want.
Highland homeowners save an average of 55 gallons of water per square foot annually by switching to artificial turf. For a typical 500 square foot lawn, that’s over 27,000 gallons saved each year—significant water conservation that helps you avoid restrictions and reduces utility costs.
California law also prevents HOAs from prohibiting artificial turf on private residential lots, giving Highland homeowners the right to install synthetic grass even in communities with strict landscaping rules. This makes artificial turf an ideal long-term solution for water-conscious Highland residents.
Quality artificial turf installations in Highland typically last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. The key factors are using UV-stabilized materials designed for California’s sun exposure and ensuring proper installation that handles Highland’s soil conditions and temperature variations.
Highland’s climate actually extends artificial turf lifespan compared to areas with freeze-thaw cycles. Our synthetic grass won’t be damaged by frost, and the consistent drainage we install prevents the ground movement that can cause premature wear in other regions.
The biggest factor in longevity is installation quality. Proper base preparation, professional seaming, and appropriate infill systems make the difference between turf that looks great for decades versus installations that fail within a few years. That’s why choosing experienced Highland contractors matters more than finding the lowest price.
Modern artificial turf is extremely safe for pets and children when properly installed with appropriate infill systems. We use lead-free synthetic grass materials and can install antimicrobial infill that prevents bacterial growth—especially important for Highland families with active outdoor lifestyles.
For Highland pet owners, we recommend specialized turf systems with enhanced drainage and odor-control infill. These systems handle pet waste more effectively than natural grass, eliminating muddy paws and the brown spots that dog urine creates on traditional lawns.
The synthetic grass we install is also softer and more consistent than Highland’s often-patchy natural grass. Children can play safely without worrying about hidden sprinkler heads, uneven surfaces, or exposure to fertilizers and pesticides. Many Highland families find their kids actually prefer playing on artificial turf because it’s always clean and comfortable.
Artificial turf maintenance in Highland is minimal compared to natural grass care. You’ll need to occasionally rinse the surface to remove dust and debris, brush high-traffic areas to keep fibers upright, and remove leaves during Highland’s fall season. Total maintenance time averages less than 2 hours per month.
Highland’s low rainfall means you won’t deal with the constant mowing, fertilizing, and watering that natural lawns require. No more weekend trips to the garden center or scheduling irrigation system repairs. The synthetic grass maintains its appearance with minimal intervention.
For Highland pet owners, maintenance involves rinsing waste areas and occasionally applying enzyme cleaners to prevent odors. Even with pets, artificial turf maintenance requires far less time and effort than keeping natural grass healthy in our challenging climate and water-restricted environment.
