Artificial grass · Pet areas · Putting greens

Some parts of a yard were never going to grow grass

Deep shade under a mature tree. The strip beside the house that gets four hours of light. The run where the dog has worn a permanent path. A slope that erodes faster than it establishes. A pool surround that is either wet or dusty.

People fight those areas for years — resodding, reseeding, adding fertiliser, adding water — and lose, because the problem was never fertility or water. Synthetic turf ends the argument. It is green in February, green in the fourth week of a burn ban, green in shade where nothing else will grow, and it does not care what your city’s watering days are.

We design and install synthetic lawns, pet areas and backyard putting greens across the Metroplex.

Why people do it

What you actually get

Green every single day of the year

Through August heat, through a drought stage, through a hard freeze, and through the six weeks in late winter when every real lawn in the neighbourhood is brown.

Watering restrictions stop mattering

Two days a week, one day a week, a total outdoor ban — none of it changes how the yard looks. On a property where the water bill is a real number, that is the argument that closes it.

No mowing, feeding or weed control

No Saturday mornings, no fertiliser rounds, no pre-emergent timing to miss, no mower to service. The maintenance is a rinse and an occasional brush-up.

It works in shade

The one thing no real grass can do. Under a mature oak, on the north side of a two-storey, in a courtyard that gets an hour of sun — synthetic does not need light.

Usable straight after rain

Built on a compacted, draining base, it sheds water fast. No mud tracked through the house, no ruts from walking on saturated turf.

A consistent surface for play

No bare patches, no holes, no uneven ground. For kids, for dogs, and for a putting surface, consistency is the whole point.

For dogs

The dog problem, solved rather than managed

Dog owners in North Texas know the cycle: the worn path along the fence, the dead yellow circles, the mud that becomes indoor mud, and the reseeding every autumn that lasts until the dog notices.

Nothing to wear out. The path along the fence stays green because there is no grass there to kill.
No urine spots. Synthetic does not yellow. Waste rinses through the backing instead of sitting on the surface.
Pet-specific systems. Built with a free-draining base and infill chosen for odour control, so liquid moves down and out rather than lingering.
No mud, no digging. Anchored and seamed properly, it does not lift, and there is nothing for a dog to dig into.
Cleaning is a hose. Rinse the area down; that is most of the routine.

It is one of the most common reasons people call us about synthetic turf, and one of the easiest to be happy with afterwards.

The fun one

A putting green in your own back yard

It is far more achievable than most people assume, and it is the project homeowners enjoy most once it is in.

Real cups and real contour

Multiple cup positions so the same green plays differently, and contours shaped into the base so putts actually break. A flat rectangle of green turf is a rug; a shaped green is practice.

Speed you choose

Putting surfaces use a short, dense pile with sand infill. How much infill goes in, and how tightly it is brushed, sets the roll speed — we set it to how you want it to play.

A fringe and a chipping approach

A collar of longer turf around the green, and an approach area if there is room, so you can practise chip-and-run shots and not just putts.

Fits a normal back yard

Most residential greens we look at are modest — tucked into a corner, wrapped around existing beds. You do not need an acre to get something worth using.

Doubles as the family lawn

Greens are usually combined with a synthetic lawn area, so the same install serves golf, kids and dogs without three different surfaces.

Nothing to maintain to keep it fast

No mowing at a hundredth of an inch, no top dressing, no rolling. It plays the same in July and in January.

How it is built

Almost every failed synthetic lawn failed underneath

The turf is the part you see and the least likely thing to go wrong. Bases sink, drain badly and grow weeds — and that is an install problem, not a product problem.

1Excavate

Existing turf and soil are stripped to depth. Skipping this is why cheap installs settle into dips within a year.

2Build and compact the base

Crushed aggregate laid in lifts and compacted properly, shaped to drain. On a putting green, this is also where the contours are formed.

3Drainage

The base drains through, and where the site needs it we tie into a drain line. In blackland clay that step is not optional — water has to have somewhere to go.

4Weed barrier

A barrier layer between base and turf so nothing comes up through the seams later.

5Lay, seam and anchor

Turf rolled in a consistent grain direction, seams glued and nailed so they disappear, edges anchored down so nothing lifts at a corner.

6Infill and brush

Infill brushed in to hold the blades upright, protect the backing from UV, weight the turf down and — on a green — set the roll speed.

Straight talk

Where real grass still wins

We install both, so we have no reason to oversell either. Synthetic is the right answer for a lot of areas and the wrong answer for some:

It gets hot in full sun. Synthetic surfaces heat up more than living grass on a July afternoon. In shade or under trees this hardly matters; in the middle of an unshaded south-facing yard it is worth knowing before you commit.
The cost is up front. You are buying years of mowing, water and inputs in one payment. It pays back over time, but it is not the cheap option on day one.
It is not zero maintenance. Rinsing, brushing high-traffic paths and topping up infill over the years are all real, if minor.
Living turf cools and absorbs. A real lawn cools the air around it and takes in rainfall. On a large open area, that is a genuine argument for grass.

Which is why most of the properties we do end up a mix: real turf where it thrives and gets used, synthetic where it never had a chance.

FAQs

Synthetic turf questions

How long does synthetic turf last?

Quality turf on a properly built base is a long-term installation measured in many years rather than seasons, and most manufacturers back their turf with a warranty. The base is what determines whether you get the full life out of it, which is why we spend most of the install below the surface.

Is it safe for pets?

Yes, and pet areas are one of the most common installs we do. The details that matter are a free-draining base and an infill chosen for odour control, plus a hose-down routine. Waste rinses through rather than sitting on top.

Does it drain in a heavy North Texas storm?

It drains through the backing into the base and away. How well depends entirely on how the base was built and whether the site drains at all — on clay, we often tie it into drainage rather than assume the ground will take it.

Will my HOA allow it?

Usually somewhere, sometimes not everywhere. Back yards are rarely an issue; front yards vary a lot by association. Check your guidelines and tell us what they say, and we will design to them.

How big does a putting green need to be?

Smaller than people expect. Most back yard greens are a modest area tucked into a corner with two or three cup positions and a fringe. If you have room for a patio, you have room for something worth practising on.

Can you do part of the yard?

That is the usual job. Synthetic in the shaded strip or the dog run, real turf where it grows well, and beds around both. Doing the whole yard is the exception, not the rule.

Do I still need my sprinkler system?

Yes, if you have any live plants left — and the zones will need adjusting so you are not spraying an artificial lawn. That is straightforward for us since we hold the irrigation licence in house.
