Imagine stepping outside to a consistently beautiful lawn that stays green through every season. No more weekend mornings spent mowing. No more brown patches from drought restrictions. No more muddy paw prints tracked through your house.
Your new artificial turf installation handles Berkeley’s unpredictable weather while you handle more important things. You’ll save thousands on water bills and lawn maintenance while your neighbors wonder how you keep such a perfect yard year-round.
This isn’t just about cutting chores—it’s about reclaiming your time and creating an outdoor space that actually works for your lifestyle.
Since 1975, we’ve transformed over 5,000 Bay Area properties into stunning outdoor spaces. We’ve worked with everyone from Silicon Valley executives to Berkeley families who just want a lawn that works.
Berkeley’s unique climate and soil conditions don’t surprise us—we’ve been installing artificial turf here for decades. We understand EBMUD’s water restrictions, the clay soil challenges, and exactly what it takes to create a synthetic lawn that looks natural in your specific neighborhood.
Every installation comes with our custom 3D design process, vetted contractor network, and complete project management so you don’t have to coordinate anything.
We start with an in-person consultation at your Berkeley property to understand your vision and assess your space. Using our 3D design technology, we’ll show you exactly how your new artificial turf will look before we break ground.
Next comes the foundation work—proper excavation, grading, and base preparation that ensures your synthetic lawn drains perfectly and stays level for decades. We handle all the technical details while keeping your property clean throughout the process.
Installation typically takes just 8 days from start to finish. We install the turf with precision seaming, add the right infill for your specific needs, and complete a thorough quality check. You’ll get daily updates and a final walkthrough to ensure everything exceeds your expectations.

Berkeley’s Mediterranean climate and occasional heavy winter rains require specific artificial turf specifications. We use high-quality materials designed to handle temperature fluctuations while maintaining realistic appearance and proper drainage.
Your installation includes antimicrobial infill to prevent odors and bacteria buildup—especially important for pet owners. The synthetic grass we install saves an average of 65 gallons of water per square foot annually, helping you stay well within EBMUD’s conservation requirements.
Every Berkeley artificial turf project includes smart drainage systems that prevent pooling during winter storms and cooling technology that keeps surface temperatures comfortable during summer heat waves. This isn’t one-size-fits-all turf—it’s engineered specifically for Berkeley conditions.
Artificial turf installation in Berkeley typically ranges from $9 to $20 per square foot, depending on your project size and specifications. A typical 500 square foot backyard runs about $7,350, while larger 1,000 square foot installations average $12,360.
The final cost depends on factors like site preparation needs, turf quality, drainage requirements, and whether you need pet-specific features. Berkeley’s clay soil sometimes requires additional base work, but we’ll assess your specific property during the free consultation.
Most homeowners find the investment pays for itself within 3-5 years through water savings and eliminated maintenance costs—especially valuable given Berkeley’s ongoing water restrictions and rising utility rates.
Absolutely. Berkeley residents face mandatory water restrictions limiting lawn watering to just two non-consecutive days per week, only during specific hours, with complete watering bans after rainfall. These restrictions have left many natural lawns brown and patchy.
Artificial turf eliminates the need for any irrigation, automatically putting you in full compliance with current and future water restrictions. You’ll never have to worry about EBMUD penalties or watching your lawn die during drought periods.
The water savings are substantial—synthetic grass saves an average of 65 gallons per square foot annually. For a typical Berkeley lawn, that translates to 20,000-30,000 gallons saved per year, significantly reducing both your water bill and environmental impact.
High-quality artificial turf installed properly in Berkeley typically lasts 15-20 years with minimal maintenance. Berkeley’s Mediterranean climate is actually ideal for synthetic grass—no extreme temperature swings that can damage lesser-quality installations.
The key is proper installation with adequate drainage for winter rains and UV-resistant materials for summer sun. We use turf specifically engineered for California conditions, with advanced backing systems that prevent shrinkage and color-locking technology that prevents fading.
Regular maintenance is simple: occasional rinsing, brushing to maintain texture, and annual infill refreshing if you have pets. No mowing, fertilizing, overseeding, or pest control required—just a beautiful lawn that looks perfect year after year.
Yes, modern artificial turf is completely safe for children and pets when properly installed. We use lead-free, non-toxic materials that meet all California safety standards. The synthetic grass is actually cleaner than natural lawns since there’s no mud, allergens, or pest control chemicals.
For pet owners, we install antimicrobial infill that prevents bacteria buildup and odors. The turf drains efficiently, so liquid waste rinses away easily with a garden hose. Solid waste is removed just like with natural grass, but without the brown spots or dead patches.
Children love artificial turf because it provides a consistently clean, soft surface for play. No more grass stains on clothes, no muddy footprints in the house, and no worrying about sprinkler systems or fertilizer exposure during playtime.
Artificial turf maintenance in Berkeley is minimal compared to natural grass. You’ll never mow, water, fertilize, or treat for pests again. Basic upkeep involves occasional rinsing during dusty periods and brushing high-traffic areas to maintain the grass blade texture.
For pet areas, rinse solid waste areas with water and use an enzyme cleaner monthly to prevent any odor buildup. The antimicrobial infill we install helps control bacteria naturally. If you have trees overhead, you’ll need to remove leaves and debris just like any outdoor surface.
Annual professional maintenance includes infill redistribution and deep cleaning if needed, but many Berkeley homeowners handle basic care themselves. Total maintenance time: about 2 hours per year versus 50+ hours annually for natural grass lawn care.
Well-installed artificial turf typically increases Berkeley property values, especially given the area’s water restrictions and high maintenance costs of natural lawns. Buyers appreciate move-in ready landscaping that eliminates ongoing lawn care expenses and water usage concerns.
Berkeley’s competitive real estate market values low-maintenance, drought-resistant landscaping. Professional artificial turf installation demonstrates environmental consciousness while providing year-round curb appeal that doesn’t depend on seasonal weather or water availability.
The key is quality installation that looks natural and complements your home’s architecture. Poorly installed artificial turf can hurt property values, which is why choosing an experienced Berkeley contractor with proper design skills and quality materials is essential for protecting your investment.
