A full-yard install means the whole lawn comes out and gets replaced, base and all. That's different from a patch job or a repair visit. Eloy Artificial Turf handles the excavation, the compaction, and the finish work as one continuous project, not three separate trips.
Pinal County soil runs heavy on caliche in a lot of yards. That hardpan layer doesn't drain or compact like regular dirt, so the base work on a full install gets more attention than a quick turf swap would need.

How our Artificial Turf Installation process works
Step 1Initial consultation
The project area is reviewed and client preferences for turf type and style are discussed.
Step 2Ground clearing
Existing vegetation and topsoil are removed to prepare a clean installation surface.
Step 3Weed barrier placement
A fabric barrier is laid down to reduce future weed growth beneath the turf.
Step 4Base installation
Aggregate base material is added and compacted to the proper depth and slope.
Step 5Turf rolling and trimming
Turf rolls are positioned, trimmed to fit edges, and secured along perimeters.
Step 6Final inspection
The finished surface is checked for seam quality, infill distribution, and overall appearance.
Materials
Materials and methods for Artificial Turf Installation
Eloy's hardpan soil and summer sun both push material choice. Here's what goes into a standard install.

Weed barrier fabric
A woven fabric layer helps prevent weed growth pushing up through caliche cracks and compacted base rock.

Standard infill blend
Balanced infill keeps blades upright through Pinal County's long stretch of 100°F-plus days.

Perimeter nail stakes
Heavy-duty stakes hold turf edges firm against expansion and contraction from heat swings.

Multi-tone turf blades
Blended color fibers look less plastic and hold up under direct desert sun exposure.

Drainage base rock
Crushed rock promotes runoff during monsoon downpours instead of letting water pool.

UV-stabilized backing
Backing treated to resist the sun damage that turns cheap turf brittle within a couple summers.

DIY vs hiring a pro for Artificial Turf Installation
| DIY | Hire a pro |
|---|---|
| Small areas under 200 sq ft with loose, sandy soil | Full-yard jobs where caliche needs mechanical compaction equipment |
| Basic hand tools and patience can get you through a simple patch | Seaming that has to survive heat expansion without lifting |
| Risk: uneven compaction leads to low spots that pool water | Grading work that needs to move water away from the foundation, not toward it |

Artificial Turf Installation FAQs
How much does it cost to put artificial turf in my backyard?
Most backyard installs in Eloy run $2,800 to $12,000 depending on size and how much base prep the caliche soil needs. Larger lots with heat-rated infill upgrades run higher.
Can you put turf over existing dead grass or do you have to remove it?
Dead grass and its root system come out first. Installing over it traps organic material that breaks down, settles, and causes the turf surface to sink unevenly.
How long does a Artificial Turf Installation take?
A standard residential backyard runs 2 to 4 days from excavation through final infill, depending on size and base condition.
Does mold grow under artificial grass?
It can if drainage is poor and water sits trapped against the backing. A properly graded base with drainage rock largely prevents that.
Do I need a permit for a full turf installation?
Standard residential backyard installs usually don't need one under Pinal County rules. Always confirm with the county or your HOA first.
