Artificial Turf Installation
Enjoy a low-maintenance, lush green lawn all year round with premium artificial turf from Sculptured Grounds.
In the desert landscape of Chandler, Arizona, maintaining a beautiful, vibrant lawn can feel like an uphill battle.
Between scorching summer temperatures, water restrictions, and the continuous cycle of lawn care, many homeowners find themselves frustrated with their natural grass.
That’s where Sculptured Grounds comes in—offering premium artificial turf installation that transforms your outdoor space into a lush, green oasis that stays perfect year-round with minimal effort.
Why Choose Artificial Turf?
Arizona’s unique climate presents numerous challenges for natural lawns. Artificial turf has become the smart solution for Chandler homeowners looking to enhance their property while reducing maintenance and environmental impact.
Save Water and Reduce Your Water Bill
In our desert climate, lawn irrigation can account for up to 70% of residential water use. By switching to artificial turf, the average Chandler homeowner saves approximately 55 gallons of water per square foot annually. For a typical 1,000 square foot lawn, that’s 55,000 gallons of water saved each year! With increasing water rates and conservation concerns, artificial turf provides immediate and long-term financial benefits while contributing to water conservation efforts.
Low Maintenance and Durable in Arizona’s Climate
Natural grass in Chandler requires constant attention—regular watering, mowing, edging, fertilizing, weed control, and more. Artificial turf eliminates these time-consuming and costly tasks. Our premium turf products are specifically designed to withstand Arizona’s extreme temperatures, maintaining their color and structural integrity even after years of intense sun exposure. Unlike natural grass that can develop brown spots, thin patches, and bare areas, artificial turf maintains its pristine appearance regardless of weather conditions.
Safe for Kids and Pets
Our artificial turf options include pet-friendly and child-safe varieties featuring antimicrobial protection, excellent drainage capabilities, and non-toxic materials. The consistent surface eliminates dangerous divots and holes that can cause trips and falls, while the absence of pesticides and fertilizers creates a healthier play environment. For families with pets, our specialized pet turf systems include enhanced drainage features and odor-controlling technologies that make cleanup simple and hygienic.
Always Green – No Mowing, Fertilizing, or Mud
Imagine never again dealing with muddy paw prints after rain, brown patches in summer, or the constant cycle of lawn care equipment. With artificial turf from Sculptured Grounds, your lawn maintains its picture-perfect appearance every day of the year with minimal effort. The consistent surface means no more mud after irrigation or rainfall, and the elimination of mowing not only saves time but reduces noise pollution and equipment costs.

About
Our Artificial Turf Installation Process
At Sculptured Grounds, we’ve refined our installation process to ensure exceptional results and a smooth experience for our Chandler area customers.
Step 1: Free On-Site Consultation and Measurements
Our process begins with a thorough on-site assessment where our turf experts evaluate your space, take precise measurements, discuss your needs, and recommend the ideal turf products for your specific application. During this initial consultation, we address any questions or concerns, provide sample materials to examine, and prepare a detailed, no-obligation quote that outlines all costs and timeline expectations.
Step 2: Site Preparation and Removal of Existing Lawn
Proper preparation creates the foundation for a long-lasting, beautiful artificial lawn. Our crews carefully remove existing grass and vegetation to a depth of 3-4 inches, ensuring all organic material is eliminated to prevent future issues. We then grade and compact the soil to create the ideal base for your new turf, addressing any drainage concerns and creating proper slopes where needed.
Step 3: Installation of Base Material for Drainage
A well-designed drainage system is critical in Arizona, where occasional heavy rains can cause flooding. We install a 2-3 inch layer of compacted decomposed granite or crushed rock that provides excellent drainage while creating a stable foundation. This step ensures water flows through your turf system effectively, preventing puddling and extending the lifespan of your installation.
Step 4: Turf Cutting, Shaping, and Seaming
Precision is key during this phase as we carefully cut and shape your selected turf to fit your landscape perfectly. Our experienced installers create nearly invisible seams using specialized techniques and materials that withstand Arizona’s extreme temperature changes. The turf is secured around the perimeter using galvanized nails or stakes, creating a taught, smooth surface free of wrinkles or bumps.
Step 5: Infill Application and Brushing
To complete the installation, we apply an appropriate infill material—such as silica sand or a combination of sand and rubber granules—that supports the turf fibers, adds weight, and enhances drainage performance. The amount and type of infill varies based on the specific turf product and its intended use. Finally, we power brush the entire surface to distribute the infill evenly and help the turf fibers stand upright, creating the lush, natural appearance our customers love.
Step 6: Final Walkthrough and Customer Approval
Before considering any project complete, we conduct a thorough inspection with you present to ensure every detail meets our high standards and your expectations. Our team provides care instructions and answers any questions you might have about maintaining your new artificial turf. Only after receiving your approval do we consider the installation finished—it’s part of our commitment to 100% customer satisfaction.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
How long does artificial turf last in Arizona?
With proper installation and minimal maintenance, our premium artificial turf products typically last 15-20 years in Arizona’s climate. Many of our installations maintain their appearance and functionality well beyond this timeframe, making artificial turf a long-term investment in your property.
Is artificial grass safe for pets and children?
Absolutely! Our turf products are non-toxic and free from harmful chemicals. The antimicrobial properties in our pet-friendly options help prevent bacteria growth, while the consistent surface eliminates hazards like holes, mud, and exposure to lawn treatment chemicals that can affect natural grass areas.
Does turf get hot in the summer?
While artificial turf can become warmer than natural grass on the hottest summer days, our premium products incorporate cooling technologies that significantly reduce heat retention. Simple measures like occasional rinsing during extreme heat periods can quickly lower surface temperatures. Many customers install misters or shade structures in conjunction with their turf to create comfortable outdoor environments even during peak summer months.
What kind of maintenance is required?
Artificial turf requires minimal maintenance compared to natural grass. Regular activities include occasional rinsing to remove dust, using a leaf blower to remove debris, and brushing high-traffic areas to keep fibers upright. For pet areas, simply remove solid waste and rinse as needed. This simple maintenance routine typically requires less than 30 minutes per month—a fraction of the time required for natural lawn care.
Will turf help reduce my water bill?
Definitely. Most Chandler homeowners see significant reductions in their water bills after installing artificial turf. The typical 1,000 square foot lawn requires approximately 55,000 gallons of water annually. Eliminating this usage can save hundreds of dollars each year on water bills, with even greater savings during drought conditions when water rates often increase.
