Artificial Grass Installation

American Gardens Landscaping installs artificial grass across the Sacramento area — complete lawn replacement for tired natural lawns, pet-friendly turf for dog runs and family yards, and clean, low-water green space that stays green through summer heat and water restrictions. The difference is in the base: we excavate, grade, and build a compacted road-base and decomposed-granite foundation before a single roll of turf goes down, so your lawn drains well, feels solid underfoot, and holds its finish for years.

Artificial Grass Installation in Sacramento, CA

Sacramento summers are brutal on natural lawns — and water bills keep climbing. Our artificial grass installations give Sacramento-area homeowners a lawn that stays green all year: no watering, no mowing, no muddy patches. Every installation performed completely by us comes with a 12-month workmanship warranty. See our warranty details.

Why Sacramento homeowners switch to artificial grass:

  • Beat the drought and the heat — no watering means much lower water bills, even through Sacramento’s hottest months.
  • No mowing, edging, or fertilizing — your weekends are yours again.
  • Green all year — no brown patches and no winter dormancy.
  • Kid- and pet-friendly — soft, durable turf that is easy to rinse clean.
  • A cleaner home — no muddy paws and no grass clippings tracked inside.

Pet-Friendly Turf, Done Right

Dogs are hard on natural lawns — and on cheap turf. For pet areas we use durable, free-draining turf with infill chosen for pet areas, and we grade the base so rinse water moves through instead of sitting on top. The result is a run or lawn that can be hosed down in minutes — no mud, no worn yellow patches, and no re-sodding every spring.

How We Install Artificial Grass — Step by Step

  1. Removal and excavation — the existing lawn, weeds, and debris are removed, and the area is excavated 3–4 inches where needed for a proper base.
  2. Two compacted road-base layers — road base is spread and machine-compacted in two layers, so the surface stays firm and even instead of settling into dips over time.
  3. Decomposed granite finish layer — a smooth decomposed granite layer is leveled and compacted for a smooth, even finish grade.
  4. Edging — bender board or hardscape edging is installed to hold clean lines and separate the turf from planting beds.
  5. Heavy-duty weed barrier — commercial-grade weed barrier is laid over the compacted base to block weeds while allowing drainage.
  6. Professional turf installation — professional-grade turf is rolled out, cut to fit, and seams are glued and pressed for tight, discreet joins.
  7. Silica/Envirofill infill — premium infill is brushed in to keep the blades standing upright and natural-looking.
  8. Power-brushed finish — the finished lawn is power-brushed, cleaned, and walked through with you.

The Benefits of Artificial Grass

  • Much lower water bills — eliminate lawn watering entirely.
  • Almost no maintenance — occasional rinsing and brushing is all it takes.
  • Always green — a freshly mowed look every day of the year.
  • Safe for kids and pets — non-toxic materials, with no pesticides or fertilizers needed.
  • Excellent drainage — water flows through the turf backing and the permeable base instead of pooling.
  • Built to last — quality turf over a proper base typically lasts 15–20 years.

  1. Free estimate — we visit your property, measure the area, discuss turf options, and give you a clear written quote.

  3. Professional installation — our crew completes most residential lawns in just a few days.
  4. Final walkthrough — we brush, clean, and walk the finished lawn with you and show you the finished result.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How much does artificial grass installation cost?

A: Cost depends on the size of the area, site access, how much excavation is needed, and the turf style you choose. We provide free written estimates so you know the exact price before we start.

A: Yes — it is durable, soft, non-toxic, and easy to rinse clean. We can also design dedicated dog-run areas.
