Picture this: Saturday mornings are yours again. No more dragging the mower out of storage or watching your water bill climb every month. Your lawn stays that perfect shade of green whether it’s July or January, drought or downpour.
You’re not just getting artificial turf—you’re getting your weekends back. The kids and dogs can play as hard as they want without creating muddy disasters. Your neighbors start asking questions because your lawn looks incredible while theirs struggle through California’s dry spells.
The best part? You’re actually saving money. What used to go toward sprinkler repairs, fertilizer, and landscaping services now stays in your pocket. And you’re doing your part for California’s water conservation efforts without sacrificing the curb appeal that makes your Felton home stand out.
We’ve been transforming Bay Area landscapes since 1975. That’s nearly 50 years of understanding exactly what works in Felton’s unique climate and what homeowners here actually need.
Here’s what sets us apart: we don’t just install turf and disappear. Every project gets 3D design visualization so you see exactly what you’re getting before we break ground. We guarantee our start and completion dates—something rare in this industry. And you get daily updates with direct oversight from experienced project managers.
We’re family-operated, which means we treat your property like our own. When we say we’ll be there Tuesday morning, we’re there Tuesday morning. When we promise your project will be done in eight days, it’s done in eight days. Our Felton clients consistently tell us the same thing: they wish they’d made the switch sooner.
We start with an in-person consultation right at your Felton property. No generic estimates—we measure, assess your soil conditions, and understand exactly how you use your space. Kids? Pets? Entertaining? We factor it all in.
Next comes the 3D design phase. Using cutting-edge CAD technology, we show you exactly what your new lawn will look like. You’ll see drainage patterns, seaming locations, and how it integrates with your existing landscaping. No surprises, no “I thought it would look different.”
Installation begins with proper ground preparation—this is where experience matters most. We handle base materials, drainage systems, and precise grading. The turf installation itself is methodical: proper seaming, secure edges, and infill distribution that ensures your lawn looks and feels natural.
The final walkthrough happens with you present. We explain care instructions (spoiler: there aren’t many), answer your questions, and make sure you’re completely satisfied. Most of our Felton installations are complete within a week, and you can use your new lawn immediately.
Ready to get started?
Your artificial turf installation in Felton includes everything needed for a lasting, beautiful result. We provide premium-grade synthetic grass specifically designed for Bay Area conditions—UV-resistant fibers that maintain their color through intense California sun and varying weather patterns.
Ground preparation is comprehensive: soil grading, proper drainage systems, and high-quality base materials that prevent settling and ensure excellent water flow. This is especially important in Felton, where occasional heavy rainfall requires drainage solutions that many contractors skip.
Installation includes precision seaming (you won’t see where pieces connect), secure perimeter fastening, and appropriate infill materials. We handle cleanup completely—your property looks better than when we arrived. You also get detailed care instructions and our warranty coverage.
For Felton families, we often include specialized pet-friendly features and child-safe materials. The synthetic grass we use is non-toxic, lead-free, and engineered to handle heavy use while maintaining its appearance. It’s designed to complement Felton’s natural beauty while solving the practical challenges of maintaining natural grass in California’s climate.
Artificial turf installation in Felton typically ranges from $8 to $15 per square foot, depending on the specific turf quality, site conditions, and project complexity. A standard 1,000 square foot backyard usually runs between $8,000 and $15,000 installed.
Several factors affect the final cost: ground preparation requirements (some Felton properties need additional drainage work), turf grade selection, and site accessibility. Properties with slopes, multiple levels, or challenging access points require more labor and specialized techniques.
The investment pays for itself within 3-5 years through eliminated water bills, maintenance costs, and landscaping services. Many Felton homeowners also qualify for California’s turf replacement rebates, which can provide $2-3 per square foot back from local water districts. We provide detailed estimates that break down all costs upfront—no surprises or hidden fees.
Yes, the artificial turf we install in Felton is completely safe for children and pets. All our synthetic grass products are non-toxic, lead-free, and made from materials that meet or exceed safety standards for residential use.
For families with pets, we use specialized pet-friendly turf with enhanced drainage and antimicrobial properties. The backing allows liquids to drain quickly, and the fibers resist odor retention. Unlike natural grass, there’s no need for fertilizers, pesticides, or herbicides that could harm pets or children.
The surface stays cooler than many people expect. While it can get warm in direct sunlight (like any surface), we use lighter-colored infill materials and can recommend shade solutions for play areas. The turf provides excellent cushioning for active kids and handles heavy pet traffic without wearing thin or creating muddy patches that track into your Felton home.
Quality artificial turf installed properly in Felton typically lasts 15-20 years, with some premium products offering warranties up to 25 years. The Bay Area’s Mediterranean climate is actually ideal for synthetic grass longevity.
The key factors for durability are proper installation and quality materials. We use UV-stabilized fibers that resist fading from California’s intense sun exposure. The backing systems we install include multiple layers for superior stability and drainage—critical for handling Felton’s occasional heavy winter rains.
Regular maintenance is minimal but important: periodic rinsing, occasional brushing to maintain fiber direction, and keeping the surface free of debris. Most Felton homeowners find that simple maintenance takes less than an hour per month. With proper care, your artificial turf will look nearly new for decades, making it one of the most cost-effective landscaping investments you can make.
Yes, artificial turf can be successfully installed on slopes throughout Felton, but it requires specialized techniques and experienced installation. Many Felton properties have challenging terrain, and proper slope installation is crucial for long-term performance.
Steep slopes require additional ground preparation, specialized fastening systems, and sometimes terracing or retaining elements. We use mechanical fasteners, adhesives, and strategic seaming to ensure the turf stays secure even during heavy rainfall. Drainage becomes even more critical on slopes—water needs to flow properly without causing erosion underneath the turf.
The installation process takes longer on sloped areas, but the results are excellent. Artificial turf on slopes eliminates the biggest challenges of natural grass: erosion, difficult mowing, and uneven watering. Many of our Felton clients choose synthetic grass specifically because their slopes were impossible to maintain with traditional landscaping. We’ll assess your specific site conditions and provide detailed recommendations for the best approach.
Absolutely. Artificial turf installation in Felton can save over 65 gallons of water per square foot annually—a significant contribution to California’s conservation efforts. A typical 1,000 square foot lawn uses approximately 30,000 gallons of water per year, which artificial turf eliminates entirely.
This water savings is especially important in Felton, where residents face California’s ongoing drought conditions and water restrictions. The state has banned decorative grass watering for many commercial properties, and residential conservation is strongly encouraged. Switching to artificial turf ensures compliance with current and future water regulations.
Beyond conservation, the financial impact is substantial. With Bay Area water rates continuing to rise, homeowners typically save $800-1,500 annually on water bills alone. Combined with eliminated maintenance costs, the water savings make artificial turf a smart long-term investment. Many Felton residents also qualify for local water district rebates that help offset installation costs, making the switch even more attractive financially.
Artificial turf maintenance in Felton is minimal compared to natural grass—no mowing, watering, fertilizing, or pesticide applications. Most homeowners spend less than an hour per month on basic upkeep, compared to several hours weekly with traditional lawns.
Regular maintenance includes occasional rinsing to remove dust and debris, periodic brushing with a stiff-bristled broom to maintain fiber direction, and removing any organic matter like leaves or pet waste. For pet owners, we recommend using enzyme-based cleaners monthly to maintain freshness, though the turf’s drainage system handles most cleaning naturally.
Seasonal maintenance is equally simple: a thorough rinse in spring, checking for any loose edges after Felton’s winter rains, and occasional power washing if needed. The synthetic grass we install is designed to handle Bay Area weather conditions with minimal intervention. Most of our Felton clients tell us the biggest adjustment is having their weekends free—they’re not sure what to do with all the extra time they used to spend on lawn care.
