For this project, we removed the old sod and excavated 3 to 4 inches of topsoil. We capped the sprinklers and then spread a base of crushed aggregate, which was packed down. The artificial turf was laid out and trimmed. Then seamed and staked into place, we spread infill and power broomed the turf so the blades would stand up straight. We used Tigerturf (Tiger Cool) Everglade Fescue. Created by Tencate, a worldwide innovator of space-age yarns for NASA and Boeing, TigerCool® yarns are engineered with heat reflective color pigments and advanced U.V. inhibitors that reduce surface temperatures. A series of solar panel tests indicate that artificial grass featuring TigerCool® technology successfully reduces turf temperatures by 30% and up to 17 degrees! That’s a difference that you can feel. The homeowner also selected a border of river rocks with a slight wave that gives a lush cool grassy Island effect.

When people first call us to think about hiring us to design a new landscape, we ask 'who else will be interfacing with the yard'? Very often a dog is in the mix! We want you and your pet to enjoy the outdoor space safely, so we'll take that into consideration when selecting plants and other elements. Dogs can be very curious about irrigation pipes & nozzle sprayers, outdoor lighting wires, and even mulch!
