How The Build Actually Goes

Six stages, no mystery. We map the timeline to your project and your city's permit requirements before work begins.

  1. Stage 01

    Free On-Site Measure & Quote

    We walk the yard, measure, check grade and drainage, and hand you a written per-square-foot number. No cost, no pressure.

  2. Stage 02

    Demo & Excavation

    Old grass, roots and 3–4 inches of soil come out. Sprinklers get capped or rerouted, edges get squared, hardscape is protected.

  3. Stage 03

    Base & Drainage

    Class II base or decomposed granite goes in, gets watered and plate-compacted to grade with positive drainage away from the house.

  4. Stage 04

    Turf, Seams & Infill

    Turf is laid grain-consistent, seams are glued invisibly, perimeter is nailed or bender-boarded, then infill is brushed in and power-groomed.

  5. Stage 05

    Walkthrough & Cleanup

    Full debris haul-off, blow-down, and a walkthrough with you before we call it done. Warranty paperwork and rebate documentation in hand.

Rebates & incentives

Money You Can Claim On This Job

These are live Los Angeles rebates that apply to this work — checked against the agency that actually pays them, August 5, 2026. We pull and close the permits that release them, and hand you the paperwork at no charge.

LADWP Water

Turf replacement

$5.00 per sq ft

Capped at $25,000 or 5,000 sq ft, with a 250 sq ft minimum. Needs three plants per 100 sq ft, a stormwater retention feature and drip irrigation. Synthetic turf does not qualify, and you must be approved before a single blade of grass comes out — no exceptions.

Funding is limited and first come, first served. Not tax advice.

Two big dogs, one dead brown lawn, zero patience left. They ripped it out Monday and by Wednesday we had a yard we actually use. It drains after a storm, it doesn't smell, and I haven't touched a mower since.

What It Usually Runs

Real ranges from recent LA jobs so you know where you stand before we ever walk the property. Your exact number comes from a site visit.

City permit fees are not included in project prices or cost estimates. They are separate costs based on what the city charges for your project. WOW processes all permits for every project so clients don't have to worry, and we provide the city fee receipts for their control.

Installed cost

$8–$18 / sq ft

Depends on turf grade, yard size and base prep. A 500 sq ft lawn averages $4,000–$9,000 complete.

LADWP rebate

$5 / sq ft

Qualifying residential customers can offset a big chunk — up to 5,000 sq ft per meter.

Timeline

1–3 days

Most residential installs: demo, base, turf, infill and cleanup in a single push.

FAQ

Questions People Actually Ask

Typically $8–$18 per square foot installed, depending on turf grade, base prep and infill. A 500 sq ft backyard runs $4,000–$9,000 complete — before any rebate. LADWP's $5/sq ft turf replacement rebate can knock up to $2,500 off that same 500 sq ft job.

Yes — LADWP's turf replacement program offers $5/sq ft for qualifying residential customers replacing natural grass, up to 5,000 sq ft per meter. We document the install with before/after photos and measurements so you can claim it.

Most residential yards are done in 1–3 days: demo and excavation day one, base and compaction day one to two, turf, seaming and infill on the final day. Larger yards, putting greens and slope work add time.

Yes. We install only lead-free, non-toxic, PFAS-free turf that's certified pet- and child-safe, with silica, antimicrobial-coated or organic infill that stays cool and clean. Play areas get a shock pad rated to fall height.

Direct all-day sun will make any turf warmer than shaded grass. We spec cool-technology yarns with heat-reflective pigments, recommend lighter infill, and a quick hose-down drops the surface temperature within seconds. Shade sails and trees make a big difference too.

Pet installs get a flow-through perforated backing over a permeable base, so liquid drains straight through instead of pooling. We pair it with antimicrobial infill (zeolite or coated sand), and a weekly rinse plus an enzyme spray keeps it odor-free.

No, if the base is right. We build a compacted base with positive slope away from the house and 30–90 gallons per square yard per hour of drainage capacity — more than LA rain ever throws at it. Poor drainage is the number one failure of cheap installs.

Rinse it occasionally, brush high-traffic lanes against the grain once a month, and blow off leaves. That's it — no mowing, watering, fertilizing, seeding or gardener bill.

15–20 years. UV-stabilized fibers hold their color for the life of the product, backed by a 15-year manufacturer warranty on the turf and our own workmanship warranty on the install.

Not through the turf itself. We install a weed barrier under the base, so the only thing you'll ever see is the occasional airborne seed sprouting in the infill — pulled out with two fingers.

Yes. Over hard surfaces we use a lightweight pad plus a perforated-backing turf and glue-down perimeter, which is ideal for balconies, rooftop decks, pool surrounds and patios where you can't excavate.

Turf wins where you need usable open lawn: kids, dogs, entertaining. Drought-scape wins on cost per square foot and habitat value for beds and slopes. Most of our best LA yards use both — turf for the usable footprint, xeriscape for the perimeter.

Rarely for residential turf, but some cities and HOAs have rules on percentage of permeable surface. We check compliance as part of your consultation.

Yes. Putting green installation can be planned alongside your lawn or as its own project, with the layout, turf selection and base preparation tailored to the available space.
