Artificial Turf Installation in Seven Hills, Hemet

SoCal Artificial Turfs installs artificial turf, putting greens, and pet turf in the Seven Hills area of Hemet. Most yards off Seven Hills Drive and Lyon Avenue run 600 to 1,200 square feet, install in two working days, and cost $9 to $14 per square foot with a 16-year manufacturer warranty.

Seven Hills lots are small, mostly flat, and nearly all of them were built around a front lawn that no longer makes sense against a Hemet water bill.

That is most of what we do up there. Front yard first, back yard the following season once people see what the water usage did.

What we run into on Seven Hills lots

Under the sod it is clay with a thin cap of old topsoil. Clay swells when it takes water and shrinks hard when it does not, and July out here runs 100 to 110 most afternoons.

So we do not shortcut the base. Four inches of Class II base, wet down before compaction because dry fines will not lock together, then compacted in two lifts with a plate compactor. Steve will pull the crew off a pad and re-run it if it still reads soft under a boot. That costs us half a day. It is the difference between a flat yard and a wavy one in year three.

Irrigation and valve boxes

The tract irrigation around Seven Hills Drive and Stetson Avenue was laid shallow, and half the valve boxes have been buried under lawn for thirty years. We hand dig the first pass anywhere near a box or a lateral. Cutting a line with a sod cutter turns a two day job into a three day job and a repair nobody budgeted for.

We cap and pressure test what we take out of service, and leave the drip for planters live so your trees and shrubs keep drinking.

Edges and front yard standards

Front yards get bender board and a decorative rock or decomposed granite border so the turf holds a hard line against the sidewalk instead of curling away from it. If your street or association has front yard standards, hand us the spec sheet on the walk-through and we build to it rather than fixing it after.

Putting greens near the golf course

Seven Hills Golf Club is right there, and a good share of our putting green work in Hemet comes from within a few blocks of it. Greens run $18 to $28 per square foot installed. Most residential greens land between 300 and 700 square feet with two to four cup positions.

Contours get shaped into the compacted rock base, not into the turf, so the roll stays true. Silica sand infill brushed in at roughly two pounds per square foot is what sets green speed. More sand, faster roll. Every cup gets a drainage sleeve down to the base rock, which is why our greens are not holding a puddle two days after a storm. More detail on our putting green installation page.

Pet turf in Hemet heat

Dog owners here ask about two things. Smell and surface temperature.

Pet turf gets zeolite infill instead of plain silica, and we punch extra drainage into the base along whatever run the dog has worn into the yard. Rinse it weekly in summer and the ammonia does not build. We wrote up how pet turf compares to pavement temperature in Hemet after checking surfaces on an actual job, and the pet-friendly turf build is different enough from a standard install that it is worth reading before you decide.

Getting a real number

We measure on site. Square footage off a satellite image is always wrong once you subtract planters, the AC pad, and the strip behind the side gate nobody remembers.

Seven Hills is a short run down Sanderson from our shop, so walk-throughs there usually happen the same week you call. Bill or Steve does the walk, not a salesman. See the rest of what we cover on our Hemet turf page.
