South Arlington's brick-and-stone two-story homes, built through the 1980s and 2000s, sit on the rolling Blackland Prairie between Dallas and Fort Worth, with mature post oaks, crape myrtles, and the kind of black clay soil that turns to dust in summer heat and mud after spring thunderstorms. Your backyard is likely fenced in board-on-board cedar, with a pool, a patio, or space where kids and dogs need a yard that actually works.
That's where Arlington Turf Installation comes in. Since 2013, we've installed artificial grass and synthetic turf across South Arlington and the surrounding area, solving the problems that real St. Augustine and bermuda lawns can't handle: the heat, the clay, the drainage, the dog damage, and the time. We know 76017 because we work here, and we write down what we install so you know exactly what you're getting.
Artificial Grass Installation in South Arlington (76017)
South Arlington's yards face real challenges. The black clay soil drains poorly, especially in the tight side yards between homes where water pools after rain. Summer temperatures push 100 degrees, and turf surface in full sun can get hot enough to matter. If you have a pool surround or a patio, the concrete and stone around it radiate heat and make that area even tougher on a lawn. Front yards are often governed by HOA architectural rules that control turf color, pile height, edging, and how much of the yard you can convert, so we help you prepare a submittal if needed. Backyards, though, are yours to design: pet turf for a dog run that drains and doesn't smell, play turf for kids under the oaks, or a putting green if you want one. Access matters too. We bring turf rolls and a plate compactor down the side yard or through a gate, and we make sure the work fits your lot and your neighbors' fences.
Our team has been installing turf in Arlington since 2013. We've built residential yards, dog runs, pool surrounds, patios, and commercial properties across the area. We name the turf product, face weight, pile height, infill type and pounds per square foot, and base depth in writing, so there's no guessing about what's under your yard.

How a Job Works in South Arlington
We start with a free on-site assessment. You describe what you want the yard to do (play, pets, entertaining, looks), and we walk the site, check drainage, measure the area, and talk through HOA rules if your front yard is involved. We'll ask about sun exposure, foot traffic, and whether there's an old lawn or old turf that needs to come out first. Then we give you a written estimate with the turf spec, the price range, and a timeline.
Once you're ready, we schedule the work. If there's an old lawn or dead turf, we remove it and haul it away. We grade the area for drainage, especially important in South Arlington where clay doesn't shed water naturally. We lay a compacted base, set the turf rolls, seam them, and infill with the material we specified. If you're in an HOA, we'll have submitted the design beforehand and worked within their rules. For a side yard with tight access, we stage materials carefully so the work doesn't block your driveway or spill into a neighbor's space.
We finish clean. We sweep the turf, remove scraps, and walk you through the yard so you know what you have. If there's a pet odor treatment or drainage question, we cover that too.
Pricing for artificial grass in South Arlington depends on the area, the turf product and face weight you choose, the infill type, the base depth, and what's already there. Residential turf starts at $8 per square foot; pet turf and dog runs start at $10 per square foot; pool surrounds and patios start at $9 per square foot. A typical 400 square foot backyard project (like a dog run or a patio surround) runs roughly $3,200 to $4,800 depending on the product and base. A 1,000 square foot yard conversion might range from $8,000 to $12,000 or more if you need significant drainage work or old turf removal. Putting greens run $15 per square foot and up. If you're removing an old lawn or dead turf, add $2 per square foot for removal and haul-away. The real cost drivers are the turf quality (face weight and pile height), the infill (sand, crumb, or a hybrid), the base depth and compaction, and site conditions like drainage problems that have to be fixed first.
