Artificial Grass Installation
A year-round green lawn with no mowing, watering or fertilizing, built on a graded, free-draining base and finished to fit the rest of the yard.
What Artificial Grass Installation Includes
Artificial grass is a synthetic lawn made of polyethylene or nylon fibers tufted into a perforated backing and laid over a compacted, free-draining aggregate base. Backyard Paradiso designs and installs artificial grass for backyards, pet areas, play spaces and putting greens, handling excavation, grading, base preparation, drainage, seaming, edging and infill as one scope of work. Installed this way, the surface stays green through every season with no mowing, watering or fertilizing; routine care is brushing, rinsing and clearing debris.
The turf itself is only part of the result. How the base is graded, how water leaves the surface, where the seams fall and how the edges meet pavers, planting beds and patios decide whether a lawn looks natural and drains properly years after it goes in.
Artificial grass sits within the turf, hardscape and landscape category alongside pavers and landscape lighting. Pile height, infill choices, drainage base and pet-area considerations are covered in depth in the artificial grass guide.
Why Homeowners Choose Artificial Grass
Artificial grass replaces the weekly work of a natural lawn with a surface that looks the same in August as it does in May.
Low Maintenance
No mowing, watering, fertilizing or reseeding. Routine care is brushing the fibers upright, rinsing the surface and clearing leaves and debris.
Pet and Family Areas
A clean, even surface for play and pets, with turf, infill and drainage selected for how the area is used. Pet areas are built to rinse through quickly.
Less Water and Lawn Chemicals
Lawn irrigation, fertilizers and herbicides drop out of the routine. The overall environmental picture still depends on climate, product life and end-of-life handling.
Built for Daily Use
Turf systems are made for foot traffic and weather. Long-term performance depends on the fiber, the backing, sun exposure and how well the base was prepared.
Planned Around the Property, Not Just the Lawn
Artificial grass works best planned with the rest of the yard. Turf can meet pavers at a clean edge, frame a patio or pool deck, and carry landscape lighting along its borders. Planned together, these become Complete Outdoor Living Systems: one design and one build rather than a series of separate projects.

Every project starts with a site assessment: the space, the existing drainage and how the area will be used. That shapes the turf choice, the base depth and where seams and edges fall. No single product is right for every yard.

Turf Styles Matched to How the Space Is Used
Turf products differ in blade shape, pile height, density, softness and color. The right style depends on whether the area is a showpiece lawn, a pet run, a play space or a putting green, and the site assessment narrows the choice to the products that fit.

What Makes a Turf System Perform
A turf lawn is a layered system, and each layer affects how it looks, drains and wears.
Fibers and Pile
Polyethylene fibers give a soft, natural-looking lawn; nylon is stiffer and holds up to concentrated wear. Pile height and density set how full the lawn looks and how it feels underfoot.
Backing and Drainage
Fibers are tufted into a primary backing and locked in place by a secondary coating. Polyurethane backings are generally associated with longer service life than latex, and perforations let water pass straight through.
Infill
Infill weighs the turf down, supports the fibers and shapes how the surface feels. Coated sands are common on residential lawns; zeolite is used in pet areas for odor control, and some organic infills run cooler in sun.
Base, Edges and Seams
A compacted aggregate base over a geotextile separation layer carries water away and keeps the surface flat. Secure edging and properly joined seams keep the lawn from shifting or showing lines. The artificial grass guide covers each layer in detail.
How an Artificial Grass Project Unfolds
1. Assess the Site
Measurements, existing drainage, soil, access, use and any association or local rules are reviewed before a product is chosen.
2. Prepare the Base
Existing lawn and soil are excavated, the area is graded for runoff, and a geotextile and compacted aggregate base are installed.
3. Install and Finish
Turf is rolled out, seamed, secured at the edges, trimmed to borders and brushed in with infill. Timing depends on the size and access of the site.
Frequently Asked Questions
Artificial grass is made of synthetic fibers, usually polyethylene, polypropylene or nylon, tufted into a primary backing and locked in place with a polyurethane or latex coating. Infill such as coated sand is brushed between the fibers to add weight and support.
Artificial grass can work well for children and pets when the turf, infill and drainage are chosen for that use. Pet areas typically use a well-draining base and odor-control infill, and product safety information should be reviewed for any area children use regularly.
Service life depends on the fiber, the backing, sun exposure, how heavily the area is used and how well the base was built. Polyurethane-backed products are generally associated with longer service life than latex-backed ones, and a well-built base keeps the surface flat and draining over time.
Yes, but far less than a natural lawn. Routine care is clearing leaves and debris, brushing the fibers upright in high-traffic areas, rinsing the surface and topping up infill where it thins.
Yes. Turf systems are built for regular foot traffic, and denser products and properly compacted bases hold up best in the most-used areas. Brushing worn paths periodically keeps the fibers standing.
Artificial grass eliminates lawn irrigation, mowing and routine fertilizer and herbicide use, which is its main environmental advantage. It is still a synthetic product, so its overall impact depends on climate, water use, product life and how it is handled at the end of its life.
Yes. Artificial grass can become noticeably hotter than the surrounding air in direct summer sun. Lighter infills, organic infills, nearby shade and a quick rinse with water before use all help manage surface temperature.
Installation starts with excavating the existing lawn and grading for drainage, followed by a geotextile layer and a compacted aggregate base. The turf is then rolled out, seamed, secured at the edges, trimmed and brushed in with infill.
Often, yes, but existing drainage should be evaluated first. Grading, base depth and drainage materials determine how water moves through and away from the turf, and an existing drainage problem is addressed as part of the installation rather than covered over.
Solid waste is picked up as it would be on a natural lawn, and the area is rinsed with water. Pet areas are built to drain quickly, and odor-control infill such as zeolite helps keep the surface fresh between rinses.
