You’re tired of brown patches, water restrictions, and weekend maintenance. El Granada homeowners face some of the strictest watering schedules in California—two days per week maximum, with specific days based on your address.
That ends with professional artificial turf installation. Your new synthetic lawn stays green through every drought, never needs watering, and eliminates mowing, fertilizing, and constant upkeep forever.
Within months, you’ll notice the difference in your water bill. Most El Granada homeowners save over $1,200 annually on water costs alone, while enjoying a lawn that looks perfect every single day.
We’ve served Bay Area homeowners since 1975—that’s nearly five decades of understanding exactly what works in our unique coastal climate. We know El Granada’s soil conditions, drainage challenges, and how to install artificial turf that performs flawlessly year after year.
Unlike contractors who rush through installations, we take time to do it right the first time. Every project gets guaranteed start and completion dates, daily updates, and direct oversight from our experienced project managers.
Our 3D design technology lets you see exactly how your new lawn will look before installation begins. No surprises, no shortcuts, just professional results that enhance your property value and eliminate maintenance headaches for good.
Your artificial turf installation starts with an in-person consultation at your El Granada property. Our team evaluates your space, discusses your needs, and creates a detailed 3D design showing exactly how your new lawn will look.
Next comes site preparation—the foundation that determines how long your turf lasts. We excavate existing grass, grade for proper drainage, and install a professional base system that prevents settling and ensures perfect water flow.
Installation day means precision work. Each section of artificial turf gets carefully positioned, seamed, and secured. Infill application keeps blades upright and provides cushioning. Finally, we groom everything to perfection and walk you through simple maintenance steps.
Most El Granada installations complete within 1-2 days. You can use your new lawn immediately—no waiting for grass to grow or establish.

Absolutely. We’ve installed artificial turf throughout the Bay Area’s coastal communities for nearly 50 years. We understand El Granada’s unique challenges—seasonal fog, occasional heavy rains, and sandy soil conditions that affect drainage.
Professional installation includes advanced drainage systems that handle coastal weather patterns. The base preparation ensures proper water flow, preventing pooling or runoff issues. UV-resistant fibers withstand intense sun exposure while maintaining color and texture.
El Granada’s coastal location actually benefits artificial turf performance. The moderate temperatures reduce heat retention compared to inland areas, while the synthetic surface eliminates muddy patches during rainy periods. Your lawn stays clean and usable regardless of weather conditions.
Yes, modern artificial turf is completely safe for children and pets. We use premium synthetic materials that meet or exceed safety standards, with no harmful chemicals or toxic substances.
For families with pets, we offer specialized antimicrobial infill that prevents bacteria buildup and controls odors naturally. The drainage system quickly removes pet waste liquids, while solid waste cleans up easily without staining or damaging the turf.
Children benefit from a consistently clean, soft surface free from pesticides, fertilizers, and allergens common in natural grass. The cushioned backing provides safer play conditions than hard-packed dirt or uneven natural lawns. Many El Granada families find artificial turf creates a cleaner, healthier outdoor environment for their kids.
Artificial turf maintenance is minimal compared to natural grass. Regular tasks include occasional rinsing to remove dust or debris, brushing to keep fibers upright, and removing leaves during fall months.
El Granada’s coastal environment means less dust accumulation than inland areas, reducing cleaning frequency. Most homeowners rinse their turf monthly and brush high-traffic areas every few months. Pet owners may need more frequent cleaning, but the process takes minutes instead of hours.
We provide detailed maintenance instructions and ongoing support after installation. We can recommend local services for annual deep cleaning if desired, though many homeowners handle basic maintenance themselves. The time savings compared to natural lawn care is dramatic—no more weekend mowing, watering, or fertilizing ever again.
Artificial turf installation typically doesn’t require building permits in El Granada for standard residential lawns. However, proper stormwater management is essential to comply with local regulations.
We handle all necessary compliance requirements during installation. We ensure proper drainage design that meets county standards and doesn’t create runoff issues. If your project involves significant grading or drainage modifications, we’ll determine if permits are needed and handle the application process.
San Mateo County has specific requirements for landscape modifications, especially regarding water flow and environmental protection. Our experience with local regulations ensures your installation meets all requirements while protecting your investment. We coordinate with local authorities when needed and provide documentation for HOA approvals if required.
