Why Choose Artificial Turf

A Greener Yard With Less Routine Upkeep

From compact backyards in Olympia and Lacey to larger properties in Tumwater, Yelm, and surrounding Washington communities, artificial turf offers a clean, consistent lawn surface without mowing schedules or muddy winter patches. Here’s why South Sound homeowners are making the switch.

01

No Mowing or Fertilizing

Synthetic turf doesn’t grow, so weekly mowing, edging, and fertilizer applications drop out of your yard routine.

02

Less Lawn Watering

Turf doesn’t need irrigation to stay green, which can help cut outdoor water use during our dry Western Washington summers.

03

Green Through Every Season

Enjoy a consistent green look through the gray, rainy months when natural lawns often turn muddy, thin, or patchy.

04

Made for How You Live

Create usable outdoor space for pets, play areas, patios, side yards, and backyard putting greens, designed around your property.

PUTTING GREEN INSTALLATION

Custom Backyard Putting Greens, Designed Around Your Game

Practice your short game without leaving home. We design and install custom synthetic putting greens for homeowners in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, and surrounding Washington communities, from compact practice areas to multi-hole backyard layouts.

Every green begins with a site visit. We look at your yard's slope, soil, drainage, and available space, then plan a shape, size, and hole layout that fits the property and the way you want to play.

01

Custom Layout & Contours

Shape, size, breaks, and undulation planned to suit your space and the type of practice you want.

02

Cups, Flags & Fringe

Hole placement, flag sticks, and surrounding fringe turf options to finish the green cleanly.

03

Prepared Base & Drainage

Excavation, compacted aggregate base, and grading planned with western Washington rainfall in mind.

04

Putting-Grade Turf

Synthetic putting surfaces selected for consistent roll, with chipping and landscape transitions available.

OUR INSTALLATION PROCESS

Built Step by Step for Western Washington Conditions

From the first site visit in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, or Yelm to the final walkthrough, every artificial turf and putting green project follows a careful, consistent process. Proper preparation beneath the surface matters, especially with the wet seasons common across the South Sound.

01

Consultation & Site Assessment

We visit your property, discuss how you plan to use the space, take measurements, and review slope, soil, and drainage before recommending turf options and a layout.

02

Excavation & Grading

Existing grass, roots, and debris are removed, and the area is excavated and graded so water is directed away from the surface and nearby structures.

03

Base Installation & Compaction

A crushed aggregate base is spread in layers and compacted to create a firm, permeable foundation suited to the region's frequent rainfall.

04

Turf Placement & Seaming

Turf is rolled out with the grain running in a consistent direction, then trimmed, seamed, and secured along the edges for a clean, natural-looking finish.

05

Infill & Putting Green Detailing

Infill is applied and brushed in to support the fibers. On putting greens, we shape contours, set cups, and fine-tune the surface for consistent ball roll.

06

Final Cleanup & Walkthrough

We clean up the work area, groom the finished surface, and walk the project with you to review the results and answer any questions.

01

Residential Turf Lawns

Front yards and backyards turned into clean, even green spaces, with careful base preparation, grading, and edge finishing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Answers Before You Plan Your Turf Project

Homeowners across Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, and surrounding Washington communities often ask how synthetic grass performs in our wet climate and what care it needs. Here are straightforward answers to the questions we hear most.

Still have questions?

Every yard is different. Request a free estimate and we'll walk your property, review drainage and access, and answer questions specific to your project.

How does artificial turf handle rain in the South Sound?

Synthetic turf with permeable backing, installed over a properly prepared and compacted aggregate base, lets water pass through rather than sit on the surface. During our site visit we look at your soil, slope, and existing drainage patterns so the base can be planned around your property's conditions.

What upkeep does synthetic grass need?

Turf doesn't need mowing or fertilizing, but it isn't completely care-free. Occasional tasks such as clearing leaves and debris, rinsing the surface, and brushing high-traffic areas help keep it looking its best. Care needs vary with the product, how the area is used, and nearby trees, and we'll go over recommendations for the materials you choose.

Is artificial turf a good option for dogs?

Many homeowners choose turf for dog runs and play areas. Pet areas work best with a drainage-focused base and regular rinsing. We can talk through turf and infill options suited to pets when we prepare your estimate.

Can you build a putting green in my backyard?

Yes. We design residential putting greens around your available space and how you like to practice. Green size, contours, cup placement, and fringe areas are planned with you before installation begins.

Which areas do you serve?

We install artificial turf and putting greens in Olympia, Lacey, Tumwater, Yelm, and surrounding Washington communities. If you're not sure whether your property is in our service area, just reach out and ask.

How is the cost of an installation determined?

Pricing depends on the size of the area, site preparation and base requirements, access to the yard, and the turf product you select. Request a free estimate and we'll review your project in person before providing a quote.
