Most Burbank backyards fail in the same three places — the shaded strip along the fence, the worn path to the patio, and the dead patch where the dog turns. Synthetic turf fixes all three permanently, but only when the base underneath is built for daily use.
Free on-site measurement across Burbank — written, itemized pricing, no obligation.
A natural lawn in Burbank spends half the year recovering. Summer scorches it, winter overwatering compacts it, and the areas that get the most use — under the play set, along the walkway, beside the barbecue — never fully come back. You end up planning around the lawn instead of using it.
Synthetic turf removes that cycle. The surface stays level and green whether the yard sits empty for a month or hosts twenty people, and maintenance drops to a rinse and a brush-up a few times a year. What decides whether it still looks that way in year eight is not the turf you picked — it is how much attention went into the ground below it.
One fixed price, one crew, and no line items that appear on installation day.
Old lawn, roots and soil removed to depth, loaded out and disposed of. Sprinkler heads capped and lines shut off at the valve.
Class II aggregate base installed in lifts, wheel-rolled and plate-compacted, shaped to drain away from the house.
Rolls laid to a single grain direction, seams glued and blended by hand, perimeter nailed and edged against every hard surface.
Infill spread to the weight your turf and traffic call for, power-broomed so the blades stand, then a full site clean-up.
Ripples, sinking corners, visible seams and standing water all trace back to the same four decisions. Here is how we handle each one.
Turf laid over shallow excavation always shows the old ground later. We remove enough material that the finished turf sits flush with your hardscape.
Base that is dumped and raked settles unevenly within a season. Ours is compacted in lifts so the surface stays flat under furniture and foot traffic.
Seams are planned away from sightlines and doorways, cut to the same grain and glued rather than stapled, so they disappear instead of splitting open.
Too little infill and the blades lie flat; too much and the surface feels hard underfoot. We weight it for your specific turf and how the yard gets used.
What Burbank homeowners ask us before booking a backyard estimate.
Backyard pricing moves with square footage, how much demolition is needed, how equipment gets into the yard, the turf grade you choose and how deep the base has to go. A yard reached only through a narrow side gate costs more to build than one with driveway access, even at the same size. We measure on site and give you one written, itemized price with no obligation.
Yes, and most of our backyard work involves exactly that. Turf is cut to the edge of concrete, pavers, coping and planter walls, then secured so the border stays tight. Clean transitions are usually what separates a professional installation from a visibly homemade one.
It will, provided the base is right. Concentrated weight is exactly what exposes poor compaction, which is why we compact in lifts instead of filling once. Heavy items may flatten the blades where they sit, and brushing that area after moving them brings the pile back up.
Rinse it occasionally, clear leaves with a blower or a plastic rake, and power-broom the high-traffic paths once or twice a year to keep the blades upright. No mowing, no watering schedule, no fertiliser, and no bare patches to reseed.
Antimicrobial infill, fast drainage and heavy-duty backing for dogs that run and dig.
Slip-resistant, chlorine-safe turf that keeps decking clean and clippings out of the pool.
Curb appeal that never browns out, with clean edges and tight borders year round.
Tell us a little about the yard and we will schedule an on-site measurement, usually within a couple of business days. You get a written, itemized price with no obligation and no sales pressure.
