Backyard lots out here aren't all the same size. A lot of New River properties sit on rural acreage, which usually means rockier ground and more base prep than a standard tract-home yard needs.
New River Artificial Turf handles backyards of any size, from a tight suburban lot to an open rural parcel with patios, pools, and planters to work around.

DIY vs hiring a pro for Residential Backyard Turf Installation
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Small flower-bed border patches | Grading around slopes, drains, and patios, this is where backyard obstacles make DIY risky on acreage lots |

Residential Backyard Turf Installation FAQs
How does turf cost compare to rock or xeriscape for a backyard?
Turf costs more upfront but needs far less long-term upkeep than rock, and it doesn't track dust into the house the way gravel yards do.
How long does a backyard conversion take?
Most standard backyards finish in 3 to 5 days. Larger acreage lots with heavier rock removal run longer.
Does rocky acreage soil need special prep?
Rockier native soil usually needs deeper excavation and a heavier base layer than a typical subdivision yard.
Can turf go around an existing pool or patio?
Turf is cut and fitted around hardscape edges as part of the standard install process.
Is DIY realistic for a large backyard?
Small sections are doable. Full yards with slopes, drains, or rocky soil usually need professional grading equipment.
