Low-Maintenance Artificial Turf Installation
We install clean, durable synthetic grass that looks great year-round and cuts watering, mowing, and upkeep.
Service Details
At Custom J Landscaping, we install artificial turf for homeowners and property owners who want a clean, green lawn without the constant work of mowing, watering, fertilizing, and patching dead spots. If you are tired of struggling with thin grass, muddy areas, pet damage, or high water use, artificial turf can be a smart long-term solution. We provide artificial turf installation in Lehi, Utah and surrounding areas, with custom plans for yards, play spaces, side yards, dog runs, and other outdoor areas.
Artificial turf has come a long way. Today’s products are designed to look more natural, feel better underfoot, and hold up well in everyday use. A properly installed synthetic lawn can give you a neat, finished look year-round while cutting down on maintenance and helping reduce water use. Our job is to make sure it is installed the right way from the ground up, because the base preparation and drainage matter just as much as the turf itself.
What our artificial turf installation service includes
We handle the full installation process so you do not have to coordinate multiple contractors. Every project starts with a site review and a conversation about how you plan to use the space. A front yard lawn has different needs than a backyard putting area or a pet-friendly dog run. We look at grading, drainage, traffic levels, sun exposure, edges, access, and the overall design of your landscape so we can recommend the right turf system for your property.
Our artificial turf installation service may include:
- Site measurement and project planning
- Removal of existing grass, weeds, rock, or old ground cover
- Excavation and rough grading
- Base material installation and compaction
- Weed barrier where appropriate
- Drainage preparation
- Turf layout, cutting, and fitting around edges and obstacles
- Seaming and securing the turf
- Infill application if needed for the selected product
- Power broom finishing and final cleanup
- Integration with pavers, curbing, mulch beds, gravel, and other landscape features
Our installation process
We believe a quality result starts below the surface. One of the biggest differences between a turf lawn that looks great for years and one that develops problems early is the prep work. We do not rush that step.
1. Planning and layout
We begin by reviewing the area, discussing your goals, and helping you choose a turf style that fits the look and use of the space. We can help you think through blade height, color blend, softness, durability, and whether the turf is best suited for pets, kids, light foot traffic, or heavy use.
2. Removal and excavation
We remove existing lawn or surface material and excavate to create room for a stable base. The exact depth depends on the project and site conditions, but the goal is always the same: build a solid foundation that supports the turf and promotes proper drainage.
3. Base preparation
We install a compacted base using the proper aggregate material for the application. This layer helps prevent shifting, wrinkling, low spots, and drainage issues. A well-built base is one of the most important parts of a professional artificial grass installation.
4. Grading and drainage
We fine-tune the grade so water can move through and away from the area as intended. This is especially important in pet areas, side yards, and places where runoff can collect. We pay close attention to slope and transitions near patios, walkways, fences, and planting beds.
5. Turf installation
We roll out the turf, position the grain for the best appearance, and make precise cuts around borders, trees, irrigation components, and other features. We seam sections carefully and secure the edges to create a clean, finished look.
6. Infill and finishing
When the product calls for infill, we apply it evenly to help support the blades, improve durability, and enhance performance. We then brush the turf to lift the fibers and give the lawn a more natural appearance. Finally, we clean up the site and walk the project with you.
Where artificial turf works well
Artificial turf is a flexible landscaping option. We install it in a wide range of residential and light commercial settings, depending on your needs and budget.
- Front lawns with curb appeal in mind
- Backyards that need a durable play surface
- Side yards that are hard to maintain with natural grass
- Dog runs and pet relief areas
- Children’s play areas
- Poolside spaces where mud and grass clippings are a problem
- Low-water landscapes and xeriscape designs
- Small shaded areas where grass struggles to grow
- Courtyards and clean accent spaces
Benefits of artificial turf
Many of our customers choose synthetic turf because they want a better-looking yard with less upkeep. In Utah, where water conservation is important and natural lawns can be tough to maintain through heat, drought, and changing seasons, artificial turf can make a lot of sense.
- Lower maintenance: No mowing, edging, fertilizing, or reseeding
- Water savings: Great for reducing outdoor water use
- Year-round appearance: Stays green through hot summers and dry periods
- Cleaner outdoor spaces: Less mud, fewer bare spots, and less tracked-in dirt
- Durability: Holds up well in active areas with kids and pets
- Improved curb appeal: Gives the property a neat, finished look
- Useful in problem areas: Works where natural grass is hard to grow or maintain
Artificial turf for pet owners
Pet turf installation is one of the most common requests we get. If your dog has worn out the lawn, created dirt paths, or turned parts of the yard into a muddy mess, artificial turf can help create a more durable and easier-to-clean surface. For pet areas, we pay close attention to drainage, base prep, and product selection. The goal is a surface that looks good, drains well, and stands up to daily use. We can also help design a dog run or dedicated pet zone that fits the rest of your landscape.
Artificial turf for kids and family spaces
For many families, artificial grass is a practical way to create a soft, usable surface for outdoor play. It helps cut down on muddy shoes, worn-out lawn patches, and uneven areas caused by heavy traffic. If you want a backyard that looks tidy and stays usable through more of the year, turf can be a great option. We can install turf as a standalone lawn or as part of a larger landscape design with patios, garden beds, rock features, and walkways.
Custom design and landscape integration
Because we are a full-service landscaping company, we look at more than just the turf itself. We can help you create a complete outdoor space that feels balanced and functional. Artificial turf often works best when it is combined with clean borders, planter beds, decorative rock, mulch, stepping stones, paver pathways, retaining elements, or curbing. We tailor the installation to your property layout and the way you use your yard.
Some customers want a simple lawn replacement. Others want a full yard makeover with low-maintenance landscaping. We are ready to take on tailored projects big and small, and we will help you build a plan that makes sense for your space.
Why professional installation matters
Artificial turf is only as good as the installation underneath it. Poor prep can lead to drainage problems, uneven spots, shifting edges, visible seams, and a shorter lifespan. When we install synthetic grass, we focus on craftsmanship, proper grading, and a strong base so the finished lawn not only looks good on day one, but continues to perform well over time.
Working with an experienced landscaping contractor also helps you avoid guesswork. We know how to deal with slope, transitions, drainage concerns, and the details that make a lawn look clean and natural instead of obviously artificial. Our team takes pride in doing the job right and making the process as smooth as possible for you.
Is artificial turf right for your property?
Artificial turf is a strong option for many properties, but the best choice depends on how you want to use the area, your maintenance goals, and your overall landscaping plan. If you want a low-maintenance lawn, need a durable surface for pets or children, or are looking for ways to reduce water use while keeping your yard attractive, we would be happy to walk you through your options.
At Custom J Landscaping, we bring hands-on experience, careful installation, and personalized service to every project. We serve Lehi, Utah with landscaping solutions designed around the customer, not a one-size-fits-all package.

Our Artificial Turf Installation Process
At Custom J Landscaping, we make artificial turf installation simple, clean, and built to last. Our process is designed to give you a natural-looking lawn with proper drainage, a smooth finish, and clear communication from start to final walkthrough.
On-Site Consultation & Design
We visit your property in Lehi to measure the area, check grading, sun exposure, drainage, and how the space will be used by kids or pets. Then we recommend the right turf product, edge details, and a clear estimate so you know exactly what to expect before we begin.
Base Prep & Turf Installation
Once approved, we schedule your project and remove existing grass or debris, then install a compacted road base for stability and drainage. We lay the turf with tight seams, secure edging, and quality infill, typically completing most residential installs within a few days depending on size and site access.
Final Grooming & Walkthrough
After installation, we power broom the fibers, check seam lines, verify the perimeter is secure, and make sure the surface drains and looks natural. We finish with a full walkthrough, answer your questions, and share simple care tips so your new low-maintenance lawn stays clean, safe, and attractive.

"In June 2025, Custom J Landscaping installed new grass in my backyard, which had a hard, heavy clay soil with some rocks. On a scale of 1 to 5 Stars I give custom J Landscaping 6 Stars. Theirs was the lowest of three bids, they were the most professional, they did the highest quality work, and they did it when they said they would do it. All three of the contractors had done work nearby, so it was easy to compare the results when it was finished. Custom J workers were professional, easy to communicate with, and were very hard workers. In fact, they had to use pickaxes to break up the heavy clay soil to remove 3 inches so it could be replaced with good topsoil. I am extremely happy with the results."
