Artificial Turf
Low-maintenance, year-round green spaces that save water and eliminate mowing — professionally installed for Utah's climate.
Ready to Transform Your Basement?
Artificial turf installation replaces natural grass with premium synthetic turf that stays green year-round without watering, mowing, or fertilizing. In Utah's semi-arid climate, where outdoor water use accounts for up to 60% of residential consumption, artificial turf delivers immediate water savings while eliminating ongoing lawn maintenance.
BaseScape installs commercial-grade artificial turf systems — not the plastic-looking turf of a decade ago. Modern synthetic turf features realistic blade shapes, color variations, and thatch layers that are virtually indistinguishable from natural grass. We install pet-friendly, heat-resistant varieties with proper drainage and antimicrobial infill designed for Utah families.
Whether you want a maintenance-free front lawn, a pet area that stays mud-free, a backyard putting green, or a play surface for kids, we engineer every installation with proper sub-base, drainage, and infill systems built to last 15-20 years.
Our Process
Site Assessment & Design
We evaluate your existing landscape, soil conditions, drainage patterns, sun exposure, and intended use (pets, kids, entertaining). We measure precisely and discuss turf options suited to your needs.
Site Preparation
Existing sod and organic material are removed, the sub-grade is graded for proper drainage (minimum 1% slope), and a compacted aggregate base is installed. This is the foundation that determines how your turf performs for years.
Turf Installation
Premium turf is rolled out, trimmed to fit, and seamed together with outdoor-rated adhesive. Edges are secured with landscape spikes or bender board. Infill material (silica sand or antimicrobial options) is spread and brushed in.
Finishing & Walkthrough
Final brushing to stand fibers upright, perimeter cleanup, and a walkthrough to verify drainage, seam quality, and edge finishing. We show you how to maintain your turf for maximum lifespan.
Your Questions, Answered
Structural Safety
Our turf installations use a compacted aggregate base (3-4 inches) over geotextile fabric to prevent settling, sinkholes, and weed growth. Edges are secured with professional-grade restraints to prevent shifting.
Code Compliance
Many Utah cities and HOAs now encourage or incentivize artificial turf for water conservation. Some offer rebates of $1-$3 per square foot. We verify your HOA's landscape guidelines and help you apply for available rebates.
Drainage & Moisture
Premium artificial turf drains at 30+ inches per hour — faster than natural grass. Combined with a properly graded aggregate base, standing water is never an issue. Pet waste rinses clean with a hose.
Cost & Affordability
Artificial turf installation typically costs $8-$15 per square foot installed, depending on turf quality and site preparation. A 500 sq ft lawn runs $4,000-$7,500. Most homeowners recoup costs within 3-5 years through water savings and eliminated maintenance expenses.
Aesthetics
Modern artificial turf features multi-toned blades, realistic thatch layers, and varied pile heights that look and feel like natural grass. We offer options for lawns, putting greens, pet areas, and play surfaces — each optimized for its intended use.
Timeline
Most residential turf installations complete in 2-4 days depending on area size and site preparation requirements. Complex projects with grading or retaining work may take up to a week.
What Sets Us Apart
Built for Utah's Water Reality — Utah is the second-driest state in the nation, and outdoor watering accounts for up to 60% of residential water use. BaseScape's artificial turf installations aren't just about convenience — they're a practical response to Utah's water future. We use premium, UV-stabilized turf rated for 15-20 year lifespans with proper sub-base engineering that prevents the settling, drainage failures, and weed problems that plague DIY or discount installations.
