Artificial Grass in Citrus Heights, CA

Artificial grass in Citrus Heights usually replaces a lawn that has been watered for decades. Citrus Heights, about five miles south of Roseville in Sacramento County, is a dense, established suburb: 87,583 people on about 14 square miles, with nearly 36,000 housing units. Many yards have mature trees, patched sprinkler systems and lawns that look tired by August. A synthetic lawn ends the watering and mowing and evens out the bare spots under the trees.

Weather by the numbers

Citrus Heights averages about 73 days a year above 90 degrees and about 18 nights below freezing. Annual precipitation is about 24.6 inches, with more than 80% falling from November through March, and morning fog is common in December and January, about 96 foggy days a year. That means hot summers on top of the turf and a lot of winter water underneath it. We grade every base to carry water to an outlet.

Older sprinklers, mature trees

Older irrigation systems often have mixed heads and shared zones. When we convert a lawn, we cap every head under the new turf and switch any line that also waters trees or beds to drip. Big shade trees keep getting water, and we work by hand near large roots.

A newer city with older homes

Citrus Heights incorporated as a city on January 1, 1997, but most of its housing is much older than that. In 2020, 57.6% of occupied homes were owner-occupied and 42.4% rented. Landlords use artificial grass to keep rentals presentable; owners use it to stop fighting the summer.

Water provider check

Citrus Heights is served by more than one water district, and each sets its own rules and any rebates. Check your bill and ask your district about current programs before you remove the lawn, since many require approval first.

Small front yards, big savings

Many Citrus Heights homes have compact front yards where sprinklers overspray onto driveways and sidewalks. Converting that area to artificial grass stops the waste and the brown edges along the concrete. A small front yard is usually a one-day job, and we can mix turf with a gravel or paver border to reduce cost.
