Synthetic Turf Installation | Since 2012

Drainage depends almost entirely on the base, not the turf itself. We install a compacted 4-inch crushed rock base engineered specifically for Puget Sound conditions, including the glacial till clay common throughout Pierce and Kitsap County. Most yards drain within minutes of rain stopping. We've never had to go back and fix a drainage problem because we build it right the first time.

Quality installations last 15 to 20 years in the Pacific Northwest. The variables that shorten that lifespan are almost always installation-related: inadequate base compaction, poor drainage design, cheap infill, or seams that weren't hand-cut and glued correctly. We've been installing in this region since 2012, use USA-manufactured products selected for real-world performance in wet high-use yards, and stand behind our work.

Yes. We exclusively use Envirofill antimicrobial infill because it's non-toxic, lead-free, and safe for children, dogs, and stormwater runoff. Many competitors still use silica sand or crumb rubber, which has documented concerns around heat absorption, off-gassing, and stormwater contamination. We don't use it. Every product we install meets ADA and ABA compliance standards and won't leach harmful materials into Puget Sound drainage systems.

Turf is one of the best surfaces for dogs. It drains urine efficiently so there's no odor buildup, no nitrogen burn, no worn paths, and no mud tracked into the house. For high-traffic dog runs or multiple large dogs, we use pet-specific turf with enhanced drainage backing paired with Envirofill's built-in antimicrobial properties. We've done hundreds of pet-focused installs across Pierce County and it holds up to even the most energetic breeds.

Most residential installs are completed in one to three days. We start with a free on-site estimate, then excavate existing grass and soil, build and compact your crushed rock base, and grade carefully to direct drainage away from structures. We install a weed barrier, hand-cut the turf to fit your yard's exact shape using S-curve seams, secure the edges, apply infill, and power broom the surface before walking through the finished yard with you. Our crew is entirely in-house — no subcontractors — so you get the same experienced team from the first day to the last.

Most residential installations run between $11 and $18 per square foot installed, depending on complexity, access, and product selected. We're not the cheapest option in the market and we're direct about that. The difference is curated USA-made turf from multiple manufacturers, higher-quality infill, and in-house crews with over 1,000 installations behind them. Our cost calculator gives you a realistic ballpark in under a minute, and estimates are always free.

Synthetic turf does absorb more heat than natural grass on sunny days. In Western Washington, with our mild summers and abundant shade, this is rarely a significant issue. The Envirofill infill we use also reflects heat more effectively than crumb rubber, which helps considerably. If your yard gets direct midday sun, we'll talk through it honestly during your estimate rather than let you be surprised after the fact.

The average Tacoma-area homeowner spends $400 to $600 per year on lawn irrigation, plus roughly 70 hours annually on mowing, edging, fertilizing, and reseeding. Over 15 years that's $6,000 to $9,000 in water costs alone, before counting time and equipment. Synthetic turf requires no irrigation, no mowing, and no fertilizer.

Visible seams are the most common sign of a mediocre installation. We hand-cut every seam using an S-curve pattern — a serpentine cut that tricks the eye rather than a straight line. Straight cuts create a visible ridge that catches light and never fully blends. Our curved cuts become essentially invisible once the turf is brushed and settled. It's one of the details that separates a yard that looks great for 15 years from one that looks tired in five. See it for yourself in our project gallery.

Our turf products carry a 15-year manufacturer warranty covering fiber integrity, UV resistance, and color retention. Beyond that, we stand behind our workmanship — if something fails because of how it was built, we come back and make it right. Because we use in-house crews exclusively, there's no finger-pointing between a subcontractor and an office. We've been in business since 2012 and we intend to be here for the full life of every yard we've installed. When you call, you're talking to us, not a call center.

It won't eliminate moles since they live underground, but it makes your yard essentially invulnerable to the surface damage they cause. Our compacted 4-inch crushed rock base is dense enough to deter burrowing up through the turf — moles can't push through compacted rock the way they push through soft lawn soil. Homeowners who dealt with fresh mole hills every morning tell us it's one of the most unexpected benefits of switching to turf.
