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.

What's included

What's included

  • Grading and layout — measured around patios, pools, and existing landscape features

  • Turf and seaming — fitted around obstacles with minimal visible joins
  • Edging — clean transitions at hardscape and planting beds
  • Optional — decorative border stone along walkways
  • Customer prep — mark any underground irrigation lines before excavation starts

FAQs

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.
