Artificial Turf in North Richland Hills, TX
Kids run the same path every day. Dogs dig the same corner. And the strip under the cover never gets enough sun to fill in. Artificial turf gives North Richland Hills families even, green ground that stays clean and needs no mower.
Turf drawn into the same plan as your patio
Turf is usually not a standalone project for our clients. It shows up as part of a bigger plan that also includes a new patio, a cover or a kitchen. Because our design team, showroom and builders are one company, we lay out the turf at the same time as everything else. Edges meet patio borders cleanly, drainage runs where it should, and nobody has to coordinate between three contractors.
This matters more than people expect. Turf installed after the fact often butts against a slab at the wrong height or traps water against a wall. When we plan it from the start, the base, grade and edge details are drawn in the same 2D and 3D renderings as the structures.
Where turf helps most in NRH yards
The project shown above is typical of what we see in North Richland Hills. A deep gable cover with a stained ceiling and a stone grill island opens onto a fenced backyard. Covers like this throw a lot of shade, which is great for people and hard on grass. The ground right off the slab gets thin and muddy, and the dog tracks it straight inside.
Dog runs
A turf section with a permeable base and the right infill rinses clean and holds up to daily traffic.
Shady strips
Under trees, beside covers and along north-facing walls where grass never fills in.
Putting greens
A short-pile green with a few cups is an easy add-on. Practice your short game ten steps from the back door.
What goes under the turf matters
Good turf is mostly invisible work. We remove the existing sod and soil to the right depth, compact the subgrade and install a crushed rock base that drains. The base is graded so water moves off and away rather than sitting in low spots. Then the turf is rolled out, seamed, secured at the edges and brushed with infill. For yards with pets, we choose a base and infill that let urine rinse through and limit odor.
Edges deserve their own attention. Where turf meets a patio, walkway or wall, a firm border keeps it from shifting and gives a crisp line. If your yard needs a new slab or path first, our NRH patio and walkway crews can build it in the same project. A turf area also pairs well with a fire pit or seating wall, so look at our seating walls for North Richland Hills yards. Shade over the patio comes from our NRH patio cover service.

NRH artificial turf questions
Is artificial turf a good choice for dogs?
Yes, when the base and infill are chosen for pets. We set up drainage so a quick spray from the hose washes it through and it dries fast.
Does turf get hot in the sun?
It can get warm on a July afternoon in full sun. Shade from a cover or tree helps a lot, and a quick rinse cools it down. We talk through placement with you so the most-used areas are comfortable.
How long does artificial turf last?
Quality turf on a proper base typically lasts many years with occasional brushing and rinsing. Base preparation has more effect on lifespan than the turf itself.
