The Four Turf Systems We Install
Residential Synthetic Grass Installation
Most homeowners come to us because their front or backyard grass is dying. We pull out the dead lawn and replace it with a system built to last. We use premium high-density polyethylene synthetic turf fibers that feel soft underfoot and stay cool in the heat. We cut each turf roll to fit your yard using a double-cut loop-pile turf seam carpet cutter, which makes invisible seam lines. The finished system meets California Model Water Efficient Landscape Ordinance (MWELO) Section 492.4 outdoor water budget limits for new landscaping projects.
Pet-Friendly Artificial Turf Setup
Dogs wear down real grass in a matter of weeks. Muddy paw prints, bare patches, and odors follow quickly. Our pet turf stops all of that. We use antimicrobial monofilament polyethylene grass fibers that stand up to claws and active digging. We fill the turf with odor-trapping zeolite using a calibrated drop-style silica sand infill spreader to spread it evenly across the surface. The drainage slope of every pet turf job follows California Building Code Section 1804.4 drainage and foundation slope rules so pet runoff moves away from your house foundation.
Custom Backyard Putting Greens
Golfers in El Dorado Hills practice at home on our putting greens. We shape each green to your backyard size and include breaks, slopes, and fringe areas. The playing surface is a texturized nylon putting green turf carpet that gives the ball a consistent, true roll. We pin every edge and cup ring down with a pneumatic turf staple driving gun so nothing shifts during play. Sloped green installations follow El Dorado County Design Standards and Guidelines Section 3.4 hillside grading restrictions to prevent surface erosion.
Commercial and HOA Turf Conversions
Property managers and HOA boards are switching from grass to turf to cut water and labor costs. We install ASTM-certified Class A fire-rated synthetic turf backing in all commercial projects to meet state building safety standards. After the turf goes down, we stand the blades upright using a motorized walk-behind rotary power turf brush that works across large areas quickly. All commercial and common-area installations follow California Fire Code Section 806 decorative vegetation and synthetic materials limits for outdoor landscapes.
What Sets Progressive Landscapes Apart From Other Installers
- State-Licensed in California: Our California State License Board number is CSLB No. 970596. We carry liability insurance on every job to protect your home and your yard.
- Free Yard Visit Before Any Cost: We come to your property. We walk the space with you, check the soil, and measure the area. This visit is completely free with no obligation.
- Written Quotes With No Surprises: We list every cost in writing before we start. You see the material cost, labor, and disposal fees upfront. Nothing gets added at the end.
- Gopher-Proof Steel Mesh Base: The foothills have a lot of gopher activity. We lay heavy steel mesh under the rock base. This stops burrowing animals from pushing up through your new lawn.
- Heavy Compaction on Every Job: We dig out four inches of clay and replace it with packed crushed rock. This gives the turf a firm base that will not shift or sag over time.
