Artificial Turf Installation

Why Choose Artificial Turf

Artificial turf has come a long way from the plastic-looking surfaces of decades past. Modern synthetic grass looks and feels remarkably natural, with varied blade heights, colors, and textures that closely mimic real grass. More importantly, it solves many of the challenges that come with traditional lawns, especially in areas like Daly City, CA where water conservation and year-round appearance matter.

The biggest advantage of artificial turf is the time and money you save on maintenance. You eliminate lawn mowing, fertilizing, aerating, and most watering. You also avoid brown patches during dry periods, muddy areas during rain, and the constant battle with weeds and pests. Your lawn looks consistently green and manicured without the ongoing effort and expense of traditional grass care.

At ProvenAid Daly City Landscapers, we install high-quality artificial turf that performs well and looks natural. We work with premium products designed for residential and commercial use, and we handle every step of the installation process to ensure long-lasting results. Whether you want to replace your entire lawn or create a low-maintenance area for pets or play, we have the expertise to deliver a turf installation you will love.

Our Installation Process

Professional Site Preparation

Proper installation starts with thorough site preparation. We remove existing grass, weeds, and debris, then excavate to the appropriate depth to accommodate base materials and turf. We grade the area to ensure proper drainage, which is critical for preventing water pooling and extending the life of your turf. Poor drainage is one of the most common reasons artificial turf installations fail, so we take this step seriously.

Next, we install a weed barrier fabric to prevent growth from below, then add and compact a crushed stone base. This base provides stability, promotes drainage, and creates a smooth, level surface for the turf. We take the time to get the base perfect because it determines how well your turf will perform and how long it will last. Rushing this step leads to problems like uneven surfaces, poor drainage, and premature wear.

Installation Steps

• Remove existing grass and excavate to proper depth
• Grade for optimal drainage and smooth surface
• Install weed barrier fabric to prevent growth
• Add and compact crushed stone base material
• Roll out and cut turf to fit the space precisely
• Secure turf edges with nails or staples
• Seam sections together for invisible joints
• Add infill material to support blades and add weight
• Brush and groom for natural appearance

After installation, we clean the work area and walk you through basic care instructions. While artificial turf requires minimal maintenance, occasional rinsing and brushing keep it looking its best. We also provide information on warranty coverage and what to do if you have any concerns about your new lawn.

Benefits and Applications

Water Savings and Environmental Benefits

In drought-prone areas, artificial turf significantly reduces water consumption. A typical residential lawn uses thousands of gallons of water per year, while artificial turf requires only occasional rinsing to remove dust and debris. This conservation benefit becomes even more important during water restrictions or when utility costs rise. You also eliminate the need for fertilizers, pesticides, and herbicides, which reduces chemical runoff and environmental impact.

Artificial turf works well in situations where natural grass struggles. Shaded areas under trees, slopes prone to erosion, high-traffic zones around playgrounds or pool areas, and dog runs all benefit from durable synthetic grass. It also makes sense for small yards where storing lawn equipment is impractical, or for homeowners who travel frequently and cannot maintain a traditional lawn. Combined with hardscaping features and strategic plantings, artificial turf creates beautiful, functional outdoor spaces.

Durability and Longevity

Quality artificial turf installations last 15 to 20 years or more with proper care. The initial investment is higher than traditional sod, but the long-term savings on water, maintenance, and lawn care services make it cost-effective over time. Modern turf products are also UV-stabilized to resist fading and engineered to withstand heavy foot traffic without matting or wearing thin. This durability makes artificial turf particularly attractive for commercial properties and residential areas with active families or pets.
