The process begins with the thorough removal of existing sod, weeds, and debris to create a
clean slate for your new lawn. In our unique Las Vegas climate, we typically excavate 3 to 4
inches of soil to account for the specialized base materials required for proper drainage and
stability. Once the area is cleared, we apply a professional-grade weed barrier to prevent
unwanted growth from surfacing through your turf. This stage also includes professional grading
to ensure water flows away from your home’s foundation, preventing pooling during our seasonal
monsoon rains.
2. Base Installation and Compaction
After excavation, we install a high-quality sub-base consisting of crushed rock or decomposed
granite, which is essential for a stable and permeable foundation. This material is spread
evenly across the area and dampened to help it settle before being compacted using a heavy-duty
vibratory plate compactor. A properly compacted base ensures that your artificial grass remains
perfectly level and ripple-free for years to come, even under the intense desert sun. We take
extra care during this step to create a smooth, solid surface that prevents the turf from
shifting or sinking over time.
3. Turf Placement and Seaming
Once the base is perfectly prepped, we carefully roll out your chosen artificial grass, allowing
it to acclimate to the heat so the backing can expand and settle naturally. Our team then
meticulously trims the edges to fit the exact contours of your yard, including custom curves
around desert landscaping, pavers, or pool decks. If your project requires multiple rolls, we
use professional seaming tape and high-strength adhesive to join the pieces together, ensuring
the seams are virtually invisible and the grain is perfectly aligned. The turf is then securely
anchored to the perimeter using non-corrosive landscape staples.
4. Infill and Final Grooming
he final step involves spreading a specialized infill—such as antimicrobial sand or cooling
infill—across the entire surface to weigh the turf down and keep the blades standing upright.
This infill is brushed deep into the fibers using a power broom, which gives the lawn a lush,
natural appearance and protects the turf backing from UV rays. Finally, we perform a
comprehensive cleanup of the site and a final rinse to remove any dust or debris. This finishing
touch ensures your new low-maintenance oasis is ready for immediate use, providing a beautiful,
evergreen space that withstands the Nevada heat.
SNWA Rebate Experts: We help you navigate the Southern Nevada Water Authority’s "Water Smart
Landscapes" rebate program, potentially saving you thousands on your conversion.
Cool-Turf Technology: We exclusively use turf with advanced UV protection and heat-reflective
technology, keeping your yard up to 15–20% cooler than standard artificial grass during July and
August.
Pet Odor Management In our triple-digit summers, pet waste can create odors quickly. We
recommend picking up solid waste immediately and treating "favorite spots" with a mixture of water
and white vinegar or a specialized turf enzyme cleaner once a week.
Summer Temperature Control On days when temperatures exceed 110°F, artificial grass can get
hot to the touch. A brief 2-minute "mist" with your hose will significantly drop the surface
temperature via evaporative cooling, making it comfortable for kids and paws.

FAQ
How hot does the turf get in the Las Vegas summer?
Since summer temperatures regularly exceed 110°F, customers worry about burning their feet.
You should explain "Cool Blue" or heat-reflective technology and suggest simple solutions like a
quick rinse with a hose to drop the surface temperature instantly.
Is there a rebate for replacing my grass with turf?
In Las Vegas, this is a top-tier question. Referencing the SNWA Water Smart Landscapes rebate
is essential. Customers want to know if you handle the application process or provide the necessary
documentation for them to get paid per square foot of grass removed.
How long will the artificial turf last in the intense UV rays?
Modern turf is UV-stabilized. Customers want reassurance that their green lawn won't turn blue or
brittle after two years in the Mojave sun. Most high-quality turf is rated to
last 15–20 years.
Is it safe for my dogs/pets?
Address concerns about "turf burn" on paws, drainage for urine, and how to manage odors. This is a
great place to mention antimicrobial infills like Envirofill that help neutralize smells.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Many people think turf is "zero maintenance." Being honest—mentioning that they need to leaf-blow
debris, rinse pet waste, and occasionally brush the blades to prevent matting—builds professional
credibility.
Does the turf drain well during our monsoon storms?
Even though it doesn't rain often, when it pours in Vegas, it floods. Explain your base layer
(crushed rock/fine gravel) and how the perforated backing allows water to flow through to the
ground.
How do you handle existing irrigation systems?
Customers often wonder if they should cap their sprinklers or if they can repurpose them for nearby
trees and shrubs. Explain that you properly cap and modify the lines so there are no underground
leaks.
Will the turf fade over time?
Focus on the UV protection manufactured into the blades. Explain that while everything fades
slightly over decades, the turf is designed to maintain its color despite the 300+ days of sunshine
in Nevada.
What is the "infill" and why do I need it?
Most homeowners don't know what infill is. Explain that it’s the sand or coated acrylic that
weighted the turf down, keeps the blades standing upright, and protects the backing from the sun.
How much does a typical installation cost?
While you don't have to give a hard number, giving a range (e.g., $8–$12 per square foot)
helps qualify leads so you aren't spending time on quotes for people who aren't ready for the
investment.
