Artificial Grass in Loomis, CA

Artificial grass in Loomis is usually about keeping a tidy patch of green on a bigger, semi-rural lot. Loomis, between Rocklin, Penryn and Granite Bay, incorporated as a town in 1984 partly to avoid annexation by Rocklin and to keep its small-town character. Many homes sit on larger parcels with pasture, orchards or open ground, where a full irrigated lawn makes little sense but a green area near the house does.

Fruit-shed history

In the early 1900s, Loomis was the second-largest fruit-shipping station in Placer County, behind Newcastle, and the High Hand and Blue Goose packing sheds still stand between Taylor Road and the tracks. Many older properties started as orchard parcels. When we excavate, we sometimes find old irrigation pipe and roots. We pull them and compact a fresh base.

A focused turf area

On larger lots, most Loomis owners turf a defined area near the house, framed by a patio, fence or planting beds, and leave the rest natural. That keeps the cost reasonable and gives a clean place for kids and dogs. National ranges put installed artificial grass at about $6 to $22 per square foot.

Climate

Loomis shares the regional hot-summer Mediterranean climate: July highs averaging 94, January highs around 53, and about 20 inches of precipitation a year, with snow almost unheard of. In winter we make sure the turf area drains to an outlet; in summer we talk about shade for pets and play.

Owners who stay

Loomis had 6,836 residents in 2020 with a median age of 42.3, and 78.2% of occupied homes were owner-occupied. Most owners want a durable, natural-looking product that will last.

Wildlife and edges

Rural lots see more wildlife. We fasten turf edges closely so animals cannot lift them, and use a weed barrier under the base to keep blown-in seeds from rooting from below.

Fruit Shed Festival town

Loomis's largest annual event, the Fruit Shed Festival, celebrates the town's packing-shed history. Many older in-town homes near Taylor Road have small front yards that are a natural fit for a tidy synthetic lawn. Interstate 80 runs right through town, so access for our crews and materials is easy from Roseville.

Installation timing

We install year-round. In winter, we may wait a day after heavy rain so the ground is firm enough to compact.
