Maintain a Green Lawn Without Constant Watering

San Agustin Landscape installs artificial turf for lawns, side yards, and pet areas throughout Menifee and the surrounding area.

Your lawn in Menifee requires frequent watering, mowing, and maintenance to stay green during hot summers, and water restrictions make it harder to keep up. You may notice brown patches spreading across your yard, compacted soil that drains poorly, or areas that never recover from foot traffic. Natural grass struggles in high-heat environments, and the time and cost required to maintain it add up quickly.

San Agustin Landscape installs professional artificial turf for lawns, side yards, and pet areas. Proper base preparation ensures drainage and longevity, and the turf maintains a clean, green appearance year-round without watering, mowing, or fertilizing. Artificial turf is popular among Southern California homeowners seeking low maintenance solutions and is ideal for hot summers and water-restricted areas.

If your yard needs a reliable surface that stays usable and green regardless of weather or water availability, artificial turf provides a long-term solution in Menifee.

What Happens During Turf Installation

San Agustin Landscape removes existing grass and topsoil, grades the area for drainage, and installs a compacted base layer that prevents settling and allows water to flow through. In Menifee, where summer heat can reach over 100 degrees and soil composition varies, this base layer is critical for preventing pooling and maintaining surface stability. Turf is rolled out, seams are joined, and edges are secured with stakes or adhesive.

Once installation is complete, you will have a level, green surface that drains properly and stays soft underfoot. The turf will not turn brown during droughts, will not develop bare spots from pets or foot traffic, and will not require weekly mowing or watering.

Artificial turf lasts 10 to 15 years with minimal maintenance, which includes occasional rinsing and brushing to remove debris. San Agustin Landscape installs turf in front yards, backyards, side yards, and pet runs. The service does not include removal of hardscape features or landscaping plants, but it does cover all excavation, base prep, turf installation, and seam finishing.

Questions Homeowners Have About Turf

Most concerns center on how turf feels underfoot, how it handles heat, and whether it looks natural compared to grass.

How does artificial turf handle extreme heat?
Turf can get hot during peak sun exposure, but it cools quickly in shade or when rinsed with water. San Agustin Landscape can recommend turf products designed to reflect heat and stay cooler than standard options.
What does the base preparation involve?
The base consists of compacted crushed rock or decomposed granite that allows water to drain through while providing a stable surface. Proper compaction prevents sinking and keeps the turf level over time.
How do I clean artificial turf?
You rinse it with a hose to remove dust and debris, and you can use a broom or rake to lift flattened fibers. Pet waste should be removed and rinsed regularly to prevent odor.
Will artificial turf fade or wear out quickly?
Quality turf is UV-resistant and designed for outdoor use in high-sun environments. With proper installation and occasional maintenance, it lasts 10 to 15 years without significant fading or damage.
Can you install turf on slopes or uneven areas?
Yes. San Agustin Landscape grades the area during preparation to create a stable surface and installs turf with secure edges and seams to prevent shifting on slopes or irregular terrain.

If you are tired of watering a lawn that never stays green or spending weekends on yard maintenance, artificial turf offers a practical alternative that lasts and performs in Southern California conditions. Contact San Agustin Landscape to discuss installation options in Menifee.
