What we do
Artificial turf installation, built for Austin yards.
Artificial turf installation swaps a struggling natural lawn for UV-stable synthetic grass, engineered from the base up. Central Austin lots often hit limestone six inches down, and the east side sits on Blackland clay that bakes hard in August, so the base build matters more here than the blades. We cut to the depth the lot needs, compact decomposed granite that locks in place through the heat, and set turf that stays green when watering restrictions tighten. No mowing, no irrigation, no brown August lawn.
What separates a good install from a bad one happens under the turf. Our Austin crews tune the base to the soil on your lot, whether that’s caliche on the west side or Blackland clay on the east, then screed it to a 1% slope so storms drain through instead of pooling on top.

Quotes are free, written, and hold once issued.
The two things that move an Austin quote most are what we hit when we dig and how we get material to the yard. Lots that sit on shallow limestone need rock excavation, and tight central-Austin access means more hand-carry time than a wide suburban gate.
Why Artificial Grass Pros
Three reasons Austin homeowners pick us.
By the numbers
Why artificial turf makes sense in Austin.
Three numbers we keep coming back to when we talk to Austin homeowners about replacing natural lawn.
“Outdoor water use accounts for more than 30 percent of total household water use, on average.”
“Municipal, industrial conservation and rainwater harvesting strategies would produce an estimated 1,026,000 acre-feet of water supply by 2070.”
“Converting a 500-square-foot turf area, which requires about 1,240 gallons monthly, could save up to 930 gallons per month.”

Reviews
What Austin customers say about Artificial Grass Pros.
Colin was amazing! Came over, measured, and got back to me the same day with a quote. He was very responsive anytime I had questions and made sure the install went in without a hitch. I have already referred 3 other people. I would use Artificial Grass Pros again no questions asked!
What a great company to work with. Scheduled quickly, and delivered on time. When an issue came up Colin Sanders made it right. The new turf is so pleasant to look at and wonderful to walk on.
We worked with Colin in our backyard project and he really delivered! He clearly put a lot of thought into the design that would best suit our needs and we are extremely happy with the result.
Artificial Grass Pros did a great job installing pet turf in our dog kennel. Debbie Amsen did a thorough consultation, and gave me estimates on a couple different options the very same day.
From the time Debbie started measuring, I knew we were in good hands! The job was done on time, per the estimate and the results are nothing less than spectacular!
Questions
Austin turf questions, answered.
Straight answers to what Austin homeowners ask us on estimate visits.
How much does artificial turf cost in Austin?
Most Austin lawn installs run $8 to $11 per square foot installed, with putting greens and pet systems priced higher for the extra base and infill work. What we hit when we dig is the biggest variable, since many central Austin lots sit on shallow limestone. A free measure turns that range into one exact written number.
What turf do you actually recommend for Austin yards?
For backyards that bake all summer: 1.75" natural-tone blend with heat-reducing infill — holds a realistic multi-tone green through triple-digit stretches and stays walkable barefoot later into the evening than standard infill. For pet runs and dog yards: 1.5" antimicrobial turf with zeolite infill — drains fast over our decomposed-granite base and controls odor through the hottest weeks, when smell problems show up first. For backyard putting greens: Dedicated putting surface with fringe cut-in — rolls true on the contoured base our crews shape, and the Hill Country sun does not fade or slow it.
How hot does turf get in an Austin summer, and what do you do about it?
Austin's average July high is 97 degrees. Turf surfaces do run hotter than natural grass in direct sun, so for play areas and pool decks we spec heat-reducing infill and lighter multi-tone fibers, and a quick rinse cools the surface in minutes. Shaded installs stay comfortable all day.
Do you have to excavate limestone to install turf in Austin?
Often, yes. Central Austin lots can hit rock six inches down, so we bring a skid steer with a rock bucket, cut to the depth the lot allows, and build the base from decomposed granite because it locks in place through August heat. That base work is why an Austin install quote varies more than the turf itself.
Will turf survive Austin watering restrictions and drought stages?
That is exactly when it looks best. Under Austin Water's standing Conservation Stage rules, automatic irrigation is limited to one assigned day a week and hose-end sprinklers to two. Synthetic turf needs none of that schedule, so it stays green through every drought stage while natural lawns brown out.
Do Austin HOAs allow artificial turf?
The city has no permit requirement for swapping a lawn to turf, and most Austin-area HOAs require architectural review first — Texas law protects drought-resistant natural landscaping but does not cover synthetic grass, so the board sign-off is the step that matters. We supply the product spec sheet and photos most boards ask for, and our natural-tone blends are the ones that pass review most easily.
Is artificial turf good for dogs in the Austin heat?
Yes, with the right build. We use antimicrobial fibers with zeolite infill so odors do not set in during triple-digit stretches, and the fully perforated backing drains a rinse-down in minutes. Most Austin pet runs are usable again immediately after a hose-off.
