Our Core Service

Transform Your Yard Without the Upkeep

Artificial turf installation is the backbone of what we do at SoCal Artificial Turfs. We have completed over 500 residential projects across the Inland Empire, and each one starts with the same process -- we show up, we listen to what you want, and we build it the right way.

Most homeowners in San Jacinto, Hemet, Menifee, and the surrounding areas come to us because they are tired of fighting with natural grass. The Inland Empire heat is brutal on lawns. You water constantly, the water bill climbs, and by August the grass is still brown and patchy. Artificial turf solves that problem permanently.

Our installation process is thorough because shortcuts show up within a year. We start by removing your existing lawn down to bare soil. From there, we grade the area to ensure proper drainage away from your home and any structures. We lay a compacted base of crushed miscellaneous rock, typically 3 to 4 inches deep, and run a plate compactor over it until it is flat and solid. Then we install a commercial-grade weed barrier before rolling out the turf.

The turf itself is cut and fitted to your yard's exact dimensions. We seam multiple pieces together using industry-standard adhesive and seaming tape so the joins are invisible. Every edge gets secured with galvanized nails spaced 4 to 6 inches apart. Finally, we spread silica sand infill to weigh the turf down, keep the blades standing upright, and give it that natural feel underfoot.

We use turf products that are UV-stabilized for the SoCal climate. That means the color will not fade after a few summers. The backing has drainage holes punched every few inches so water flows through instead of pooling on top. Whether you want a lush front yard that looks green year-round or a full backyard makeover with turf, pavers, and planters, we handle all of it with our own crew.

Pricing for artificial turf installation in the Inland Empire runs between $8 and $14 per square foot installed. That includes everything -- demo, base prep, materials, labor, and cleanup. The final cost depends on yard size, access difficulty, the turf product you choose, and how much grading or drainage work is needed. We give free on-site estimates and the price we quote is the price you pay.

Why Artificial Turf

Benefits That Pay for Themselves

Save on Water Bills

Inland Empire homeowners spend $150 to $300 per month watering natural grass in summer. Artificial turf eliminates that cost entirely. Most people see their investment pay for itself within 3 to 5 years through water savings alone.

Zero Weekly Maintenance

No mowing, no edging, no fertilizing, no aerating. You get your weekends back. The most you will ever need to do is hose it down and brush it once a month.

Green 365 Days a Year

While your neighbors' lawns turn brown every summer, yours stays perfectly green. It looks just as good in January as it does in July, with no seasonal dead spots or bare patches.

Built to Last 15-20 Years

The turf products we install are UV-stabilized and rated for heavy foot traffic. With proper installation and basic care, your turf will look great for 15 to 20 years before it needs replacing.

Common Questions

Artificial Turf Installation FAQ

Most residential artificial turf installations in the Inland Empire run between $8 and $14 per square foot installed. That includes removal of existing grass or dirt, full base preparation, compaction, weed barrier, premium turf material, infill, and seaming. Smaller yards under 500 square feet may be slightly higher per square foot because the labor and equipment setup costs are spread across less area. Larger projects over 1,000 square feet often land on the lower end of that range.

A typical residential backyard takes 2 to 4 days from demo to completion. Smaller front yards can be done in a single day. Larger or more complex projects that involve grading, drainage work, or custom cuts around pools and planters can stretch to 5 days. We give you a clear timeline before we start and stick to it.

Very little compared to natural grass. There is no mowing, fertilizing, or watering. We recommend a quick rinse with a hose once a week to keep things fresh, and a stiff brush every month or two to keep the blades standing upright. If you have pets, hosing down the area a few times a week handles odor and debris. That is about it.

The turf products we install come with manufacturer warranties ranging from 8 to 15 years depending on the product line. These warranties cover fading, degradation, and material defects. Our labor is backed by our own workmanship guarantee. If anything we installed fails, comes apart, or shifts within the first two years, we come back and fix it at no charge.
