Turf fails from underneath. Artificial turf laid over soft or poorly drained base goes wavy in a season; sod dropped on compacted clay dies in strips. We prep properly for both: excavation and compacted base with drainage for artificial turf, real soil work and full irrigation coverage for sod — so the lawn you get in week one is the lawn you still have in year five.

Scope

What’s included

  • Removal of the old lawn or surface
  • Compacted base and drainage prep for artificial turf
  • Quality turf installed with tight seams and proper infill
  • Pet-rated turf and deodorizing infill options
  • Soil prep, fine grading, and full-coverage irrigation for sod
  • First-mow and watering guidance for new sod

Process

How it works

  1. Choose the right turf

    Artificial or natural, and which product — based on sun, pets, kids, and how much maintenance you want.

  2. Demo and base

    Old surface out; compacted base for artificial, amended and graded soil for sod.

  3. Install

    Seamed, fastened, and infilled — or rolled, watered, and scheduled.

  4. Walkthrough

    Care instructions that match what was installed, not a generic handout.
