Artificial Grass in Orangevale, CA

Artificial grass in Orangevale usually covers part of a bigger lot. Orangevale, in Sacramento County between Citrus Heights and Folsom, began as the Orange Vale Colony on land from the 1844 Rancho San Juan grant and was known for orange groves, olive orchards and oaks. Many homes still sit on larger parcels than typical tract lots, with mature trees and room for animals. Owners usually want a green, usable area near the house rather than a whole yard of grass.

Owner-occupied community

Orangevale had 35,569 residents and 13,990 housing units in 2020, and 74.0% of occupied homes were owner-occupied. Most owners we meet plan to stay, so they lean toward a durable, natural-looking turf with a solid base.

Old orchards underground

On former orchard and grove land, we sometimes find old irrigation pipe, stumps and roots during excavation. We remove them and compact a fresh base so the turf will not settle as buried wood breaks down.

Mature trees

Oaks and old fruit trees shade many Orangevale yards, which thins out natural grass. Artificial grass does not need sun. We keep machines out of root zones, dig by hand near large roots and leave a ring around each trunk.

Climate and drainage

Orangevale shares the region's hot, dry summers and wet winters. We grade the base to carry winter rain to an outlet and talk through shade for pet and play areas in July and August.

Pricing

National published ranges put installed artificial grass at about $6 to $22 per square foot. Turfing a focused area instead of the whole lot keeps the project affordable. Your written estimate lists each item.

Animals and acreage

Some Orangevale parcels keep horses, chickens or goats. Hooves and scratching damage turf, so we keep artificial grass in yard areas fenced off from animals and leave paddocks and coops on dirt or gravel.

Drainage on older lots

Older parcels often have uneven ground from decades of use. We regrade the turf area so water leaves it after winter storms, and add a drain line where the area is enclosed by fencing or hardscape.

What to expect

Most Orangevale projects take one to three days. We haul away sod, roots and old pipe and leave the site clean.
