Artificial turf for Cedar Hills yards: lawn replacement, putting greens, play and pet areas and turf around courts, built on a base that drains on bench lots.
“They leveled our yard and placed a pickleball court, patio, fire pit, and artificial grass. It looks great.”
“I will definitely use you again for any future landscaping needs.”
Artificial Turf in Cedar Hills
Artificial turf is a fair answer for parts of a Cedar Hills yard. A shady strip where grass will not grow, a dog run, a play area that gets beat up or a putting green next to the court all make sense. With secondary water now billed by use, turf also takes those spots off the meter. It is not the right call for every square foot, and we will tell you where it is not.
The base decides how turf performs. On a sloped bench lot, the base has to be compacted, shaped to drain and held in place so it does not creep downhill. Pet areas need liquid to move through the turf and out of the base fast. Turf also gets hot in full summer sun, so where you put it matters as much as how it goes in.
Check the rules first. The Utah Water Savers landscape incentive, which Cedar Hills is eligible for, does not pay for artificial turf, so if you want that incentive, plan for live plants and drip instead. Your HOA, if you have one, may have its own turf rules. We confirm current rules with the city and your HOA before we price the job.
Cedar Hills calls itself Utah's mile-high city, a family town on the bench at the mouth of American Fork Canyon where even a short retaining wall needs a permit, the secondary water is metered, and hillside lots in The Cedars and Canyon Heights follow their own grading rules.

The Cedar Hills challenges
Turf laid over loose dirt on a slope creeps, wrinkles and develops soft spots. Rain and snowmelt wash the fines out from under it. On bench lots the base needs real compaction, a solid edge and sometimes a short wall at the low side.
If urine cannot drain through the base, it stays, and by July you can smell it. A pet area needs a base that drains, a turf backing that lets liquid through and a way to rinse it. Skip those and the dog run becomes the worst corner of the yard.
Turf on a south or west-facing slope in midsummer can get too hot for bare feet. Shade from a tree or a pergola, a lighter infill and a quick rinse before play all help. We look at where the sun sits before we pick the spot.
Some people pull their lawn for turf expecting a water rebate. The Utah Water Savers incentive does not cover artificial turf. If the incentive matters to you, we can plan a mix: turf where it earns its keep and live, drip-watered plants elsewhere.
The J&H approach
We remove the old sod and soft soil, lay down a compacted rock base and shape it to drain. On slopes we add edge restraint and step the base where needed so the turf stays put through freeze and thaw.
A dog run, a putting green and a play lawn each need different turf. We show you samples and explain pile height, backing and infill, so you are choosing for how the area really gets used.
Seams get glued and hidden, edges get tucked and secured, and infill goes in evenly. Around courts and patios, the turf meets the hard edge cleanly, so nothing curls up or catches a toe when the kids run across it.
