Artificial turf for Highland yards: lawn swaps, putting greens, dog runs, play areas and turf around courts, laid on a drained base sized for the soil under it.
“My yard looks better than I imagined, and several neighbors have already asked who did it.”
“they will definitely be my go to landscaper for many years!”
Artificial Turf in Highland
It rarely makes sense to turf a whole Highland yard. Turf earns its keep in the hard spots: a putting green by the patio, a dog run, a play area under the swing set, a strip along the court that never stays green, or a slope corner that is a pain to water. Real lawn still has a place where kids run and the soil is good.
Water is the reason more people ask. Highland's pressurized irrigation is metered now, each lot gets a yearly allotment based on its size, and tiered billing is coming. Turf needs no regular watering, so swapping a hard-to-water patch can help. Highland is on the state lawn-replacement rebate list, but that program requires an inspection before any work starts, and we check whether turf qualifies before you tear anything out.
What makes turf last is what is under it. The bench soil can be fast-draining sand in one spot and silt that holds water in another. Turf over silt needs a deeper rock base and a way for water to leave, or pet areas start to smell and the surface goes soft. We build the base for the ground we find and confirm turf rules with the city and your HOA.
Highland is the big-lot town on the bench above Lehi and American Fork, where many lots are an acre or close to it, courts and horse areas share the yard, deer browse the gardens and every retaining wall goes through the city first.

The Highland challenges
On the silty parts of the bench, water from rain, melting snow or a rinse hose has nowhere to go. It sits under the turf, and the base softens and dips. We dig deeper there, compact a rock base and give the water a path out.
Urine has to pass through the turf, through the base and out. If the base does not drain, it builds up, and on a hot July afternoon you will know it. We use a free-draining base and infill made for pet areas.
Turf gets hot in full summer sun. On an open Highland lot with little shade, that matters for kids and dogs. We place turf near some shade when we can, talk through infill choices with you and keep a hose bib close by for a quick cool-down.
Turf on a slope can creep and wrinkle if the base and edges are not locked down. Steeper spots near Highland's mountain edge need a firmer base and stronger edge restraint. We also make sure water running off the slope does not wash out the base below.
The J&H approach
We remove the old lawn and dig to a depth set by the soil we find. Silty spots get more base and a drain path. Sprinkler heads in the turf area get capped or moved to water the beds around it.
We lay and compact crushed rock in lifts, shape any breaks for a putting green and check the grade so water runs off. Then the turf goes down, seams are joined and the edges are secured.
Pet areas get infill and a base made to drain. Play areas can get padding under the turf. Putting greens get a tighter turf and a smooth roll. We walk it with you before we leave.
