Not every yard needs full turf coverage. On the bigger lots common around Eloy and especially Picacho, a combination of turf zones, decomposed granite, and drought-tolerant planting usually makes more sense than covering the whole property. Eloy Artificial Turf designs these layouts so turf goes where it gets used, play areas, patios, entry walks, and rock or planting covers the rest.
The split matters for cost and water use both. Turf everywhere on a quarter-acre desert lot gets expensive fast; a planned combo keeps the budget realistic while still killing the dead-lawn problem.

Step 1Landscape concept design
We balance turf sections against rock and planting based on how the yard gets used.

Step 3Soil and rock prep
Soil is prepped differently for turf zones versus planting beds.
Step 4Turf section installation
Turf goes in per the approved zone plan.
Step 5Plant bed integration
Drought-tolerant plants and rock features fill out the rest of the design.
Step 6Design finishing touches
Borders and transitions get refined for a cohesive look.
Materials
Materials and methods for Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design
Mixed-zone turf fibers
Turf suited to both open-sun patio areas and partially shaded sections of a combo layout.
Decorative rock borders
Rock defines clean boundaries between turf and planting zones without hard edging.
Drought-tolerant plant stock
Low-water plants fill the non-turf zones and hold up through Pinal County summers.
Permeable paver accents
Pavers let water through while tying turf and rock sections together visually.
Mulch ground cover
Mulch cuts evaporation in planted beds next to turf sections.
Edge transition strips
Clean separation between turf and granite or rock keeps the design from looking patchy over time.

Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design FAQs
Is turf cheaper than xeriscape rock in the long run?
Rock has a lower upfront cost but no ongoing savings beyond the initial install. Turf costs more at install but eliminates watering and regular upkeep in the areas it covers, so the long-term math depends on how much of the yard you'd otherwise keep green.
Can you mix turf and rock in the same yard design?
That's the point of this service. We zone the layout so turf covers play or patio areas and rock or planting fills the rest.
Does a combo design work on a large Picacho-size lot?
It's actually where this service makes the most sense. Full turf coverage on a large rural lot gets expensive; a combo layout keeps cost down while still solving the dead-grass problem in the areas you actually use.
How is cost calculated for a combo design?
Pricing covers the turf zones by square footage plus labor for rock borders and plant bed prep. Rock-only zones cost less than turf zones.
Will a combo design still get HOA approval?
If your community has guidelines, we match turf specs to those requirements the same way we would on a full-turf install.
