Sound familiar?

What we hear from Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch and Venice homeowners.

"The lawn looks great for a month, then it's brown again."

Sandy coastal soil, salt air, summer fungus and winter dry spells. Keeping St. Augustine healthy in Sarasota means constant watering, treatments and replacement sod.

"Our dog tracks sand and mud through the whole house."

Bare spots by the lanai, yellow patches, and paws that come in wet and sandy every time the sprinklers or the rain hit.

"We're gone half the year and come back to a mess."

Seasonal homeowners return to overgrown, patchy or storm-battered yards, and sometimes a letter from the HOA.

There's a better way. One install, and your yard looks finished every day of the year.

What We Do

Turf Applications

Every Service. Every Solution.

While We're Out There: Your Whole Backyard

Sarasota clients usually start with the lawn and finish the whole backyard: a putting green by the lanai, a travertine pool deck, a paver courtyard. One team, one schedule, one finished space.

Artificial Turf Lawns

A lawn that stays green through the dry season and the rainy season, with no mowing or watering, built to stay level and drain fast.

Design & install β†’

Built for the Sarasota Coast

Coastal soil, salt air and summer storms are hard on any yard. Here is how we build one that lasts.

01

Clear & shape

We remove grass, roots and loose sand and shape the grade so water flows away from the home and pool.

02

Stable base

A compacted aggregate base locks everything in place on Sarasota's sandy soil.

03

Fast drainage

Permeable backing and base prep that move heavy summer rain through quickly.

04

Storm-secure finish

Secured edges, hidden seams and a final walkthrough, so the yard is ready for storm season and for the months you are away.

Sarasota FAQs

Common questions from Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch and Venice homeowners.

Do you really work in Sarasota if you are based in Naples?

Yes. We install turf, pet turf and putting greens throughout Sarasota, Lakewood Ranch and Venice regularly. Our showroom is in Naples, and for Sarasota projects we come to you with samples, measure on site and schedule crews for your job.

How much does artificial turf cost in Sarasota?

Cost depends on the size of the area, removal of existing grass, base and drainage needs, and the turf you choose. We measure on site at no charge and send an itemized written proposal. Financing is available.

Can you build a backyard putting green in Lakewood Ranch?

Yes, backyard putting greens are one of our specialties. We shape real contours, add fringe and cups, and can tie the green into turf, pavers or a pool deck so it looks like part of the design.

Does turf work on sandy coastal lots near the beaches?

Yes, as long as the base is built correctly. On sandy lots we remove loose material, install and compact an aggregate base, and secure the edges so the turf stays flat and in place.

We are seasonal residents. Can you work while we are away?

Yes. Many of our Sarasota clients are seasonal. We can handle the project while you are out of town, coordinate with your HOA and property manager, and send photo updates as the job progresses.

Is pet turf safe for dogs?

Yes. Our pet turf uses a permeable backing so liquids drain through, antimicrobial infill to help control odor, and durable blades made for active dogs. It rinses clean with a hose.

Do you handle HOA approvals in Sarasota and Lakewood Ranch?

Yes. Most communities require architectural review. We prepare the drawings, product specs and samples your HOA needs and let you know up front if a permit is required.

How long does a Sarasota project take?

Most turf installs take one to three days on site. Larger projects that combine turf, a putting green and pavers usually take one to two weeks. We give you a schedule before we start.
