Artificial turf · Rancho Cordova & nearby

Artificial turf, done right.

Swap a thirsty, patchy lawn for turf that stays green without mowing or watering. DG Landscape Design removes the old lawn, builds a compacted base that drains, then installs and seams the turf with clean borders.

What's included

One crew, start to finish.

David designs it, prices it in writing, and his own crew builds it. No hand-offs to a separate sub.

01

Lawn removal

Old grass and roots taken out and hauled away, and sprinklers capped or converted to drip for planting beds.

02

Base & drainage

A compacted rock base graded so rain and pet messes drain through instead of pooling.

03

Turf for kids & pets

Turf and infill picked for how the yard gets used, from play areas to dog runs.

04

Borders & paths

Clean edges against pavers, step pads, flagstone or low-water planting beds.

Know before you build

Things to plan for.

Your HOA cannot ban it

California law bars HOAs from prohibiting artificial turf or low-water plants. They can still apply their design guidelines, so a drawn plan helps the approval go smoothly.Source: California Civil Code § 4735

Check rebates first

Sacramento County Water Agency's Cash for Grass program is on hold until further notice, and many water-provider rebates require living, low-water plants rather than turf. Check with your provider before any grass comes out.Source: Sacramento County Water Agency: Cash for Grass

It gets hot

Turf in full afternoon sun gets hot in a Sacramento summer. Shade, placement and the right infill help; David will tell you what fits your yard.

Rules and programs change. Confirm with your city, the County or your HOA before you start.

Questions

Artificial turf FAQ.

Can my HOA stop me from installing artificial turf?

Under California Civil Code § 4735, an HOA cannot prohibit artificial turf, but it can still apply its landscaping guidelines. DG Landscape Design can provide a plan for the HOA review.

Is there a rebate for replacing my lawn with turf?

Usually not for turf alone. Many programs require low-water plants, and Sacramento County Water Agency's Cash for Grass is on hold. Check with your water provider before you start.

Is artificial turf good for dogs?

Yes, with the right turf and infill and a base that drains. Tell David about your pets at the site visit so he can plan for them.

How long does artificial turf last?

It depends on the product, the sun and how hard the yard is used. David shows you turf options and their warranties so you can compare.
