Artificial Turf Installation
Low-maintenance artificial turf that gives you a beautiful green lawn year-round without the hassle of mowing, watering, or fertilizing.

Why Artificial Turf Makes Sense
Artificial turf has come a long way in the last decade. Modern turf looks and feels remarkably like real grass. It drains well, stays green all year, and requires almost no maintenance. For many homeowners and businesses, it is the perfect solution to lawn problems that never seem to go away.
Think about how much time and money you spend on your lawn. Mowing every week, watering during dry spells, fertilizing several times a year, fighting weeds, reseeding bare spots, and dealing with brown patches. With artificial turf, all of that goes away. You get a consistently beautiful lawn that looks great in every season without the endless maintenance cycle.
Artificial turf also saves water. In West Linn, water bills can add up quickly during summer when lawns need regular watering. Turf eliminates that expense entirely. You are also eliminating the need for fertilizers, pesticides, and other chemicals that natural lawns require. For families with kids and pets, that means a safer play surface without harmful chemicals.
We install artificial turf for all kinds of situations. Front yards, backyards, side yards, dog runs, putting greens, play areas, and commercial properties. Anywhere you want a green lawn without the work, turf is worth considering. Our professional landscaping team will help you decide if artificial turf is the right choice for your property and install it correctly so it lasts for years.
Our Artificial Turf Installation Process
Installing artificial turf correctly requires skill and the right equipment. Poorly installed turf looks bad, drains poorly, and does not last. We follow proven installation methods that result in a lawn that looks natural and performs well for many years. Here is how we do it.
Step-by-Step Installation
- Remove existing grass, weeds, and debris from the area
- Grade and level the base to ensure proper drainage
- Install a weed barrier to prevent future weed growth
- Add and compact a base layer of crushed rock
- Roll out and cut turf to fit your space precisely
- Secure turf edges and seams for a seamless look
- Add infill material to support turf fibers and aid drainage
- Brush and groom turf for a natural appearance
The base preparation is critical. A properly graded and compacted base ensures good drainage and prevents the turf from developing low spots or uneven areas over time. We take the time to do this right because it determines how well your turf performs long-term.
We use quality turf products that are designed for residential and commercial use. We will help you choose the right turf type for your needs. Some clients want turf that looks like a perfectly manicured lawn. Others prefer a more natural look. We offer several options and will show you samples so you can see and feel the difference. We can also coordinate turf installation with other projects like paver patios or landscape design.
What to Expect with Artificial Turf
Artificial turf is not completely maintenance-free, but it is close. You will need to occasionally rinse it down to remove dust and debris. If you have pets, you may need to hose down areas more frequently. Leaves and debris should be blown or raked off just like you would with a natural lawn. But compared to mowing, watering, and fertilizing, the maintenance is minimal.
Good quality turf can last 15 to 20 years with proper care. It holds up well to foot traffic, pet activity, and weather. The color stays consistent year-round. You never have to worry about brown spots, weeds, or mud. For families with active kids or dogs, this is a game changer. Your yard stays clean and usable no matter how much activity it sees.
The upfront cost of artificial turf is higher than natural grass, but you save money over time. No more water bills for lawn irrigation. No more fertilizer, weed control, or lawn care services. No mower to buy, maintain, or replace. When you add up the costs over 10 or 15 years, turf often costs less than maintaining a natural lawn. Plus, you get back all the time you would have spent on lawn care.
We have installed turf for dozens of clients across West Linn and surrounding areas. Some choose turf for their entire yard. Others use it for specific problem areas like shady spots where grass will not grow or high-traffic areas that turn to mud. Whatever your situation, we can design a turf solution that works. We will also be honest about whether turf is the best option for your property or if another solution like natural sod installation makes more sense.
