Free quotes · Full lawn replacement
Lubbock Artificial Turf replaces natural lawns with landscape-grade synthetic grass, front yards, back yards, side strips, and full properties. The finished product is a lawn that reads green from the curb in February and August alike, needs no sprinkler run, and gets a free on-site measure and a written price by the square foot before anything is scheduled.
A lawn install is the most forgiving turf job to look at and the least forgiving to build. The blades hide nothing at the edges: every cut against a sidewalk, a planting bed, or a driveway shows exactly how careful the crew was. And under the blades, the compacted base decides whether the yard is still flat after a few West Texas freeze-thaw winters. That is where the work actually goes.
Front lawns here face brutal exposure. Lubbock logs 92 days a year of 90°F-plus highs. We spec UV-stabilized fibers around a 1.5 to 1.75 inch pile with a natural thatch layer, so the lawn keeps its color on the south and west sides of the house instead of washing out.
Perimeter cuts are trimmed tight to walks, beds, and driveway lines and fastened to bender board or a nailer board with galvanized spikes. The edge is where a lawn install shows its quality, ours are meant to be looked at up close.
Seam lines get planned at layout so you are never looking straight down one from the patio door or the street. Grain runs one direction across the whole lawn, seams close on tape and adhesive, and the repair-free look holds.
Heads inside the turf area are capped and lines are marked, and zones that still feed trees or beds keep working. You stop watering the lawn, not the landscaping you kept.
Every lawn conversion is one of four builds. Same base discipline underneath, different edges, seams, and stakes on top.
Full back yard replacement is the most requested artificial turf project in the trade: families who want usable grass without the mud, and homeowners done fighting a lawn through watering limits on 18.33 inches of annual rain. Seams get run away from the patio door, so you are never looking down a line.
A front yard conversion is judged from the street and the sidewalk. Curb appeal that holds year-round, with clean cuts against the walk and the planting beds doing the talking.
The narrow run between houses is where natural grass dies first, shade, foot traffic, and no airflow. It is also a small enough area that many homeowners start there before committing the whole property.
New builds that never got sod skip straight to turf, which also skips the sod-establishment watering entirely. Bare dirt to finished lawn in one build, no seeding season to wait out.
A residential lawn follows the same five steps as every job we do, with two lawn-specific wrinkles: sprinkler handling and edge planning.
We measure the areas you want done, look at drainage and gate access, and show pile-height samples. You get a price by the square foot in writing.
Old sod, roots, and three to four inches of soil come out. Heads inside the footprint get capped; live lines get marked so nothing is punctured later.
Crushed base goes in wetted and compacted in lifts, graded to fall away from the foundation. This step is the whole ballgame for a flat lawn.
Rolls relax in the sun, get cut to the perimeter, seam on tape and adhesive, and fasten to the nailer board at close spacing.
Silica infill is power-broomed in to stand the blades up, the yard gets blown clean, and we walk the edges with you before we leave.
The cost table on our homepage carries the full picture; the short version for lawns is that residential replacement runs about $8 to $14 per installed square foot in the national cost guides, which puts a typical 500-square-foot yard around $4,000 to $9,000. Bigger areas price lower per foot because the crew, equipment, and base delivery cost about the same either way.
What moves a lawn quote most: how much healthy sod has to come out, whether the yard drains today, and the turf spec you pick. None of that can be priced from a web page, the measure and the written number are free.

(806) 630-0409Modern landscape turf uses blended green tones, a brown thatch layer, and blade shapes that scatter light instead of shining. Viewed from the street, the giveaway is usually that it looks too healthy in February, not that it looks plastic. Pile height and color are chosen from samples at the measure.
Heads inside the turf area are capped and the lines are marked. Zones that water trees, beds, or remaining grass keep running. Nothing is ripped out unless you want it gone.
No, and walk away from anyone who offers to. Grass and soil decompose and settle unevenly, and the lawn ripples within a couple of seasons. Proper installs excavate down to a stable sub-grade and build a compacted base.
Yes. The turf itself is unaffected by frost, and a base compacted in lifts resists the freeze-thaw heaving that cracks poorly built hardscape. The record low here is −17°F; the failure mode to worry about is a sloppy base, not the cold.
Yes, and usually faster than a natural lawn. Water passes through drainage holes in the backing into the crushed base below, which is graded to carry it away from the foundation. On a properly built install, standing water is gone minutes after a storm ends; when a turf yard puddles, the base was skipped or badly graded, not the turf.
