Premium Artificial Turf Installation
Serving Santa Cruz & Surrounding Areas
Why Choose Artificial Turf
Save Water, Time, and Money
Artificial turf delivers a lush, green lawn without the constant mowing, watering, fertilizing, and reseeding. It conserves water, cuts utility bills, and eliminates pesticides and runoff, all while staying vibrant and usable year-round. High-quality turf systems resist heavy foot traffic, play, and pets, maintaining curb appeal with minimal effort.
Handy Dandy Dons Handyman Construction designs turf solutions for long-term performance. Our team focuses on durable materials, clean edging, safe infills, and dependable drainage, backed by clear timelines, transparent pricing, and strong warranties. You get a beautiful surface that looks natural and works hard in every season.
From Site Evaluation to Final Grooming
We start with a consultation to understand goals, measure areas, and assess grade, soil, and drainage. You’ll see turf samples, infill options, and edge treatments while we plan seam locations and pile orientation for the most natural look. We also identify any irrigation modifications and create a detailed schedule so you know exactly what to expect.
During installation we remove existing sod, correct grades, and build a compacted base for stability and drainage. We install a weed barrier, set perimeter edging, custom-fit and seam the turf with professional adhesives, then add infill and power-broom fibers to stand upright. A final grooming, walkthrough, and care briefing ensure everything is clean, secure, and built to last.
Turf Built For Real-World Performance
Select from polyethylene, polypropylene, or nylon fibers in pile heights tailored to use—plush landscape turf, pet-friendly options, or tight, fast putting greens. We specify face weights for durability, UV stabilization to resist fading, and advanced backing systems—perforated or fully permeable—for rapid drainage and odor control.
Infill options include rounded silica sand for stability, anti-microbial or coated infills for odor reduction, and specialty blends for heat management. For play areas or sports, we can incorporate shock pads and padding to help meet impact attenuation targets, while low-friction fibers support safer play and easier maintenance.
Routine care is straightforward: blow or brush away debris, rinse as needed, groom fibers to prevent matting, and address spots promptly. For pets, enzyme cleaners help neutralize odors and maintain hygiene. With periodic inspections and infill top-ups, a quality system typically delivers 12–20 years of dependable performance.
