A lush, green lawn is one of the most desirable features of any home - but in Los Angeles, maintaining a natural grass lawn is expensive, water-intensive, and demanding. The average Los Angeles lawn consumes approximately 56,000 gallons of water per year and requires weekly mowing, fertilizing, aerating, and pest control. Artificial turf eliminates all of that while delivering a perfect, year-round green lawn that looks and feels remarkably like the real thing.
Today's premium artificial turf products are a far cry from the stiff, plastic-looking synthetic grass of decades past. Modern turf features multi-toned blade technology that replicates the varied colors and textures of natural grass. Soft, resilient fibers feel comfortable underfoot, and advanced backing systems provide excellent drainage - even in heavy rain. At ACE Design & Build, we install only top-tier turf products with realistic appearance, proven durability, and comprehensive manufacturer warranties.
Artificial turf is an outstanding choice for families with children and pets. It stands up to heavy foot traffic, play, and pet use without developing bare spots, mud, or pest problems. Many of our turf products feature antimicrobial infill and efficient drainage systems that keep the surface clean and odor-free. For pet owners in particular, artificial turf eliminates the frustrating cycle of brown spots, digging damage, and muddy paws.
Beyond lawns, we install artificial turf for putting greens, play areas, rooftop decks, commercial spaces, and side yards that are difficult to maintain with natural grass. Every installation follows a meticulous process of excavation, base preparation, precise seaming, and professional infill application that ensures your turf looks flawless and drains perfectly for years to come.

Frequently Asked Questions About Artificial Turf
Artificial turf installation typically costs $10 to $20 per square foot, including materials, base preparation, and labor. A typical 500-square-foot front yard conversion costs between $5,000 and $10,000. Rebates from local water agencies can offset a portion of the cost.
Premium artificial turf products typically last 15 to 25 years with normal use. The lifespan depends on the quality of the product, the amount of foot traffic, and sun exposure. All of our turf products come with manufacturer warranties of 8 to 15 years.
Artificial turf can become warm on hot, sunny days - similar to a pool deck or patio surface. However, newer turf products with lighter-colored infill and advanced fiber technology stay significantly cooler than older products. We recommend these cooler options for high-sun areas and can discuss shading strategies during your consultation.
Yes. Artificial turf is an excellent choice for pet owners. It resists digging, eliminates mud, and does not develop brown spots from pet waste. We offer antimicrobial infill options that inhibit bacteria and control odor. Solid waste is easily picked up, and liquid waste drains through the backing into the base below.
Yes. Quality artificial turf products have perforated backing systems that allow water to drain through at rates exceeding 30 inches per hour. Combined with our compacted aggregate base, water drains quickly and efficiently - even during heavy Los Angeles rainstorms.
Many Los Angeles-area water agencies offer rebates for removing natural grass and replacing it with drought-tolerant alternatives, including artificial turf. Rebate amounts vary by agency and are subject to change. We can help you identify available rebate programs during your consultation.
