Artificial Grass in North Highlands, CA

Artificial grass in North Highlands is usually practical: a front lawn that is hard to keep green, a backyard worn to dirt by dogs, or a rental that needs to look good between tenants. North Highlands, beside the former McClellan Air Force Base, first appeared in the 1960 census with 21,271 people and had 49,327 in 2020. More than half of its occupied homes are rentals.

Rentals and landlords

In 2020, 52.0% of occupied homes in North Highlands were renter-occupied. Landlords often choose artificial grass because it removes watering and mowing from the tenant's list and avoids dead-lawn disputes at move-out. Tenants need the owner's written approval before any landscape change.

Flat lots, slow drainage

North Highlands sits at about 95 feet on flat ground. Flat yards on slow soils can puddle in winter. We build a gentle slope into the base toward the street or a side-yard outlet.

McClellan

McClellan Air Force Base was named for closure in 1995 and is now McClellan Business Park, a civilian business center and airport. Many nearby neighborhoods were built while the base was active, and those older homes often have patched irrigation and compacted dirt. We remove old lines in the turf area and build a fresh base.

Keeping it affordable

Many North Highlands projects mix artificial grass with gravel borders or pavers to reduce the turf area. National published ranges put installed turf at about $6 to $22 per square foot; a small front yard is a modest project. Every quote is itemized.

Care

Blow off leaves and dust, rinse pet areas, and brush the turf a few times a year.

Tenant-friendly care

For rentals, we leave a one-page care sheet: blow off leaves, rinse pet areas, brush high-traffic spots a few times a year. Between tenants, a power brush and infill top-up refresh the lawn without replacing it.

Dog yards

Many homes here have dogs that wear backyards to dirt. Pet turf with a flow-through backing and odor-control infill, sloped to an outlet, stays clean with regular rinsing.

Older irrigation

Homes built while McClellan was active often have old, patched sprinkler lines. We cap heads under the turf and check that valves will not leak into the base.
