Your Saturday mornings are yours again. No sprinklers running at 5 AM. No brown patches ruining your curb appeal during Hillsborough’s dry months.
Instead, you wake up to a perfect lawn every single day. Your water bill drops by hundreds monthly. Your kids and pets play on a surface that’s always clean, always safe, always ready.
Your neighbors notice. Your property value reflects it. And you finally have the outdoor space that matches your Hillsborough lifestyle—beautiful, functional, and completely maintenance-free.
We’ve been transforming Hillsborough properties since 1975. We understand what matters to homeowners here—quality that lasts, service that delivers, and results that enhance your investment.
We’re not the cheapest option, and that’s intentional. Hillsborough homeowners expect excellence, and shortcuts don’t deliver it. Our artificial turf installations come with guaranteed start dates, daily project updates, and the kind of attention to detail that’s made us the Bay Area’s trusted choice for five decades.
Every installation includes 3D design visualization, professional-grade materials, and our signature white-glove service from consultation to completion.
We start with an in-person site consultation right at your Hillsborough property. Our team assesses your space, discusses your vision, and creates a 3D design so you see exactly what you’re getting before we break ground.
Next comes precision excavation and base preparation. We remove existing grass, grade for proper drainage (crucial in Hillsborough’s clay soil), and install our multi-layer foundation system. This includes decomposed granite, drain rock, and commercial-grade weed barrier.
Then we install your artificial turf with meticulous attention to seams and edges. Every square inch gets properly secured, infilled, and brushed to achieve that perfect natural appearance. Most Hillsborough installations complete in 2-3 days with guaranteed timeline adherence.

Your artificial turf installation in Hillsborough includes complete site preparation, premium synthetic grass materials, professional-grade infill, and our advanced drainage system designed for Bay Area soil conditions.
We handle all permits, provide detailed 3D design renderings, and include a comprehensive warranty on both materials and installation. Every project gets daily progress updates and direct project manager oversight—standard practice for our Hillsborough clients who expect clear communication.
Hillsborough’s unique microclimate and soil composition require specific installation techniques. We account for seasonal ground movement, optimal drainage patterns, and the aesthetic standards expected in your neighborhood. We also coordinate with HOA requirements and city regulations specific to San Mateo County.
Artificial turf installation in Hillsborough typically ranges from $12-18 per square foot for premium materials and professional installation. For an average 1,000 square foot lawn, expect investment between $12,000-18,000.
However, consider the financial picture beyond upfront cost. Hillsborough homeowners currently spend $200-500 monthly on landscape maintenance plus $100-300 monthly on water for irrigation. Artificial turf eliminates both expenses, creating savings of $3,600-9,600 annually.
Additionally, many Hillsborough residents qualify for water district rebates up to $4 per square foot, potentially reducing your net investment by thousands. We help navigate rebate applications and ensure your installation meets all qualifying requirements.
Quality artificial turf installations in Hillsborough last 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. Our premium materials are specifically engineered for California’s UV exposure, temperature fluctuations, and occasional heavy winter rains.
Hillsborough’s Mediterranean climate is actually ideal for synthetic turf longevity. You avoid the freeze-thaw cycles that damage installations in other regions, and the moderate temperatures prevent excessive expansion and contraction that can cause seam separation.
The key is proper installation with adequate drainage and quality infill materials. Our installations include UV-resistant fibers, antimicrobial infill, and drainage systems designed for Bay Area soil conditions. Most of our Hillsborough clients see their artificial turf looking virtually new after a decade of use.
Absolutely. Modern artificial turf is specifically designed to handle pet use better than natural grass. The synthetic fibers don’t harbor fleas, ticks, or other pests common in Hillsborough’s natural grass lawns.
Our pet-friendly installations include specialized drainage systems that quickly channel liquids away, preventing odor buildup. The antimicrobial infill we use actively breaks down organic matter and eliminates bacteria that cause smells. Unlike natural grass that gets muddy and torn up by pets, artificial turf maintains its appearance and cleanliness.
Many Hillsborough pet owners find artificial turf actually improves their pets’ health by eliminating exposure to fertilizers, pesticides, and allergens present in natural grass. The surface is consistently clean and safe for both pets and children to enjoy year-round.
Most artificial turf installations in Hillsborough don’t require permits since they’re considered landscaping improvements rather than structural changes. However, if your project involves significant grading, drainage modifications, or installation near property lines, permits may be necessary.
Hillsborough has specific regulations about water runoff and drainage, especially given the hillside terrain in many neighborhoods. We’re familiar with San Mateo County requirements and handle all permit applications when needed as part of our service.
We also coordinate with HOA requirements common in Hillsborough’s planned communities. Some associations have aesthetic guidelines or approval processes for landscape changes. We provide detailed project plans and material specifications to streamline any required approvals and ensure your installation meets all local standards.
Artificial turf actually handles Hillsborough’s winter rains better than natural grass. Our installations include advanced drainage systems that channel water away at rates exceeding 30 inches per hour—far faster than natural grass can absorb.
This is particularly important in Hillsborough where clay soil and hillside locations can create drainage challenges. Natural grass often becomes waterlogged, muddy, and unusable during heavy rain periods. Artificial turf remains firm and accessible within hours of even the heaviest downpours.
The synthetic fibers and backing materials we use are completely non-absorbent and designed to shed water quickly. Combined with proper base preparation and grading, your artificial lawn will be ready for use while your neighbors are still waiting for their natural grass to dry out after winter storms.
Quality artificial turf installation typically adds value to Hillsborough properties by enhancing curb appeal and reducing ongoing maintenance requirements that appeal to buyers. The key is professional installation with premium materials that complement your home’s aesthetic.
In Hillsborough’s luxury market, buyers appreciate low-maintenance features that preserve their time for other priorities. A beautiful artificial lawn that requires zero irrigation, no weekly service, and maintains perfect appearance year-round is often seen as a premium amenity.
The water savings alone can be a significant selling point, especially as California’s water restrictions continue. Buyers recognize the long-term cost savings of eliminated maintenance bills and reduced utility expenses. When installed properly with attention to design and quality, artificial turf becomes a valuable home feature rather than just a lawn replacement.
