Enhancing Your Landscape With The Best Turf Installers
Choosing Nova Remodeling for your artificial turf installation means reclaiming your weekends from the lawnmower. In San Diego, keeping natural grass green is expensive and water-intensive. We provide a solution that stays lush year-round without a drop of water. Unlike quick-fix landscapers who lay turf directly on dirt, we treat your lawn like a construction project. We focus heavily on the sub-base drainage and weed barriers to ensure your investment doesn’t sink or smell over time. We deliver a safe, soft, and realistic lawn that is perfect for kids, pets, and backyard BBQs.
Why we are the preferred choice
Certified Turf Installer
We are precise. Our dedicated turf installer team is trained in the latest seaming and securing techniques to ensure your synthetic lawn looks seamless and natural, not like a plastic carpet.
Pet Friendly Systems
We prioritize hygiene. We install specialized pet turf with advanced drainage grids and antimicrobial infill that neutralizes odors, ensuring your yard stays fresh and clean even with active dogs.
Cooling Technology
We beat the heat. We offer turf products with "Cool-Blade" technology that reflects UV rays, keeping the surface temperature significantly lower than standard synthetic grass for your family's comfort.
Superior Drainage Base
We prevent puddles. We build a deep, permeable sub-base using crushed rock and fines that allows water to drain through quickly, preventing mud and standing water during rainy seasons.
Seamless Turf Installation Steps
1
Sod Removal Phase
We start fresh. We excavate your existing grass and soil to a depth of 3-4 inches, removing all organic material and capping sprinklers to prepare a stable foundation for the new turf.
2
Base Compaction Step
We build stability. We install a heavy layer of decomposed granite or road base, wetting and vibrating it with a plate compactor to create a rock-hard, perfectly graded surface.
3
Precision Turf Laying
Our skilled installers work. We roll out the synthetic grass, carefully cutting around trees and walkways, and mechanically seaming the pieces together so the joints are virtually invisible to the eye.
4
Infill And Power Brush
We finish strong. We spread specialized infill sand across the turf and use a power broom to work it into the fibers, standing the blades up vertically for a realistic look.
Frequently Asked Questions
How long does it take to install artificial turf?
A typical residential artificial turf installation in San Diego generally takes between two to four days to complete, depending on the square footage and access to the yard. The first day is usually dedicated to the heavy labor of demolishing the existing grass and hauling away the soil. The subsequent days are used for installing and compacting the base, followed by the precise cutting, seaming, and securing of the new synthetic grass.
Is artificial turf safe for my pets?
Yes, artificial turf is extremely safe and beneficial for pets. We use non-toxic, lead-free synthetic grass that is designed specifically for dogs and cats. Unlike natural grass, it does not harbor fleas, ticks, or other pests that can harm your animals. Furthermore, we install a specialized “pet system” that includes a highly permeable drainage backing and antimicrobial infill to prevent odors and bacteria buildup from pet waste.
Will the turf get too hot in the San Diego summer?
Synthetic grass can become warmer than natural grass in direct sunlight, but modern technology has significantly improved this issue. We offer advanced turf products featuring “Cool-Blade” technology, which uses specialized reflective pigments in the fibers to reduce heat absorption. On extremely hot days, a quick spray with a garden hose will instantly cool the surface down for hours, making it comfortable for walking barefoot.
How much water will I save by switching to turf?
Switching to artificial turf results in massive water savings. In a semi-arid climate like San Diego, a natural grass lawn requires thousands of gallons of water annually just to stay alive. By installing synthetic grass, you can reduce your outdoor water usage by up to 70%. This not only lowers your monthly utility bill significantly but also helps conserve our local water resources during drought conditions.
How do I clean and maintain my artificial lawn?
One of the biggest advantages of artificial turf is its low maintenance. For general cleaning, simply using a leaf blower or a plastic rake to remove leaves and debris is sufficient. If you have pets, solid waste should be removed as usual, and the area can be rinsed with a hose. For a deep clean or to fluff up the blades in high-traffic areas, a stiff push broom or a power brush works wonders.
Does artificial turf fade in the sun?
No, high-quality artificial turf is designed to withstand intense sunlight without losing its color. The products we install are manufactured with UV inhibitors built directly into the polyethylene fibers. This UV protection prevents the grass from fading, cracking, or turning brittle, even after years of exposure to the strong San Diego sun. Your lawn will remain a vibrant, healthy green for a decade or more.
