Artificial Turf Installation

Green year-round, drains fast, no mowing.

Turf lives or dies on base and drainage. We excavate, install a compacted permeable base, secure the seams and perimeter, and infill correctly, so it drains after a downpour, stays flat, and doesn't hold odor around pets.

Typical timeline

2 days–1 week

Typical investment

Typically $11–$20 per square foot installed

How we approach it

Green grass in South Florida without the maintenance battle

Keeping a lawn lush in our climate means battling heat, patchy shade, pests, and the constant need for water and fertilizer. Artificial turf removes the battle while providing a durable space that drains instantly after our afternoon rains.

The secret to a long-lasting turf installation is entirely in the base. We excavate to proper depth, install a permeable compacted base that prevents settling, and secure the edges so the lawn stays flat and secure through our storm season.

Whether for a low-maintenance pet area, a backyard putting green, or a full yard renovation, we build to ensure your turf drains efficiently, resists odor, and keeps its look for years.

Example project

Pet-safe backyard transformed into a usable, mud-free space

Davie, FL4 days

The challenge
A backyard with two dogs was perpetually mud-filled after rain, making it impossible to let them back inside without washing paws every time.
What we did
We excavated the existing sod, built a fully permeable compacted base to ensure quick drainage, and installed high-grade pet-friendly turf with antimicrobial infill.
The result
The yard now drains within minutes of rain and stays mud-free, giving the owners their home back and the dogs a cleaner place to play.

Illustrative example based on typical jobs of this type.

Client feedback

Referred, again and again

“They gutted and rebuilt two bathrooms and our kitchen while we lived in the house. Every day the site was clean, every question got answered the same day, and the final number matched the estimate.”
Daniel R. · Fort Lauderdale, FL · Kitchen + 2 bathroom remodel
“We had water damage behind a wall that two other contractors misdiagnosed. 12X found it in an hour, handled the drying, rebuilt the drywall, and dealt with the insurance paperwork.”
Melissa T. · Hollywood, FL · Water-damage restoration
“Pavers, a pergola, an outdoor kitchen, and turf, done in five weeks and permitted properly. Our backyard is the reason we stopped talking about moving.”
Andre & Sofia P. · Coral Springs, FL · Full backyard renovation
“We turn over rental units on tight deadlines. They have never once missed a make-ready date, and their punch lists are cleaner than anyone we've used.”
