Realistic Look and Feel
We use only premium artificial grass with multiple blade colors, realistic thatch, and proper blade density. Our turf looks and feels like natural grass, without the maintenance. Visitors often can’t tell it’s artificial until you tell them.
Proper Drainage System
Our installation includes a carefully engineered base that allows water to drain properly, even during heavy Sacramento rainstorms. This prevents pooling and ensures your yard remains usable year-round.

Our artificial grass is non-toxic and safe for children and pets. The antimicrobial infill prevents odors from pet waste, and the turf is designed to withstand heavy play without developing bare spots or ruts.

FAQs About Artificial Grass Installation
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, our artificial grass typically lasts 15-20 years in the Sacramento climate. The UV-resistant fibers stand up to our intense summer sun without fading or breaking down.
Minimal maintenance is required. Occasionally rinse with water to remove dust, use a leaf blower to remove debris, and brush the turf once or twice a year to keep the blades upright. That’s it, no mowing, watering, fertilizing, or weed control needed.
The turf features a dual-flow backing system that allows water and pet urine to drain through the grass and its backing. Different backing options include fully permeable or hole-punched designs for optimal drainage.
Very little maintenance is needed – simply sweep off leaves or use a leaf blower occasionally. No mowing, watering, or chemical treatments are required.
With professional installation and proper care, quality artificial grass can last 15-20 years. The longevity depends on installation quality, usage patterns, and proper maintenance.
