Turf Replacement
Commercial artificial turf & lawn replacement in LA & Orange County
Lawns around office parks, apartment buildings and HOA common areas are one of the largest outdoor water users in Southern California. Turf replacement swaps grass for artificial turf, climate-appropriate plants with efficient irrigation, or a mix of both, giving the property a landscape that looks cared for with far less water and upkeep. We also serve homeowners.
- Significantly less outdoor water use across the property
- Lower landscape maintenance than a traditional lawn
Options
Turf replacement options we offer
Lawn removal
Removing existing grass from frontages, medians and common areas and preparing the ground for artificial turf or a new, climate-appropriate landscape.
Artificial turf installation
Low-maintenance synthetic grass for common areas, courtyards and frontages, laid over a compacted, well-drained base with clean seams and edges.
Climate-appropriate planting
Native and drought-tolerant plants, mulch and permeable surfaces suited to Southern California conditions and commercial frontages.
Efficient irrigation
Drip irrigation and smart controllers that deliver water directly to plant roots and run on a set schedule across zones.

Process
How your turf replacement project works
Consultation
We discuss the property, your goals and budget, and explain how turf replacement works.
Site review & plan
We measure the areas, review site conditions and access, and outline a plan for artificial turf, planting and irrigation.
Program check
Some programs require pre-approval before any grass is removed, and many do not cover artificial turf. We review this with you first.
Installation
We remove the old lawn, install the artificial turf or new landscape and irrigation, and walk your property manager or maintenance team through care.

FAQ
Turf replacement questions
Do I need approval before removing a lawn?
Some turf replacement programs require you to apply and be approved before removing any grass. We review this with you during the consultation so the property does not lose eligibility.
Will the property still look green?
Yes. Artificial turf stays green all year without watering or mowing, and water-wise planting uses drought-tolerant plants, textures and colors that keep frontages and common areas looking cared for.
Do you install artificial turf?
Yes. We install artificial turf for business properties, apartment buildings and HOA common areas, and we can combine it with drought-tolerant planting on the same site. Many water-agency turf replacement rebates do not count artificial turf, so if a rebate matters to you we explain which options qualify before any work begins.
Which programs may support turf replacement?
Programs such as SoCal WaterSmart, MEA and CRP may support turf replacement in participating areas. Rules commonly cover the area replaced, plant choices and irrigation, and many require approval before work begins. Whether a program accepts your property type varies, so we check eligibility before work starts.
What replaces the lawn?
Artificial turf, climate-appropriate plants with mulch or decomposed granite and drip irrigation, or a combination. Some programs also ask for features that let rainwater soak into the ground. We plan the design around your property and any program rules that apply.
How long does a turf replacement project take?
It depends on the size of the site and any program approval steps. Once approvals are in place, removal and installation often take from a few days to a couple of weeks, and work can be phased to keep entrances and common areas usable. We give you a timeline after the consultation.
