Artificial grass lawns in Lexington
A full lawn that looks the same in February as it does in June. No mowing, no watering, no bare patches under the maple.

A natural lawn in Lexington is a year-round argument with the weather. Fescue browns out under August heat. The clay underneath holds water, so the low corner stays soggy into May. Mature trees shade half the yard, and grass never fills in properly beneath them.
An artificial grass lawn ends that. Installed properly, it stays even and green through drought, frost and everything between, with no mowing, no irrigation and no seasonal chemical programme.
We excavate three to four inches of existing sod and soil and haul it away. Living grass left underneath will decompose and settle, which is what causes the lumpy, wavy look you see on cut-price installations after two seasons.
Then we build the base: graded aggregate, compacted in lifts, sloped to move water where it should go. On Lexington's clay this is where the job is won or lost. Clay does not absorb water at any useful rate, so the base has to carry it away rather than assuming the ground below will take it.
The turf is then rolled, cut to the yard's actual shape, seamed, anchored at the perimeter, and infilled. A power broom stands the blades up and works the infill down between them. Most residential lawns are complete in one to two days.
Lawn turf is a different specification from pet turf or putting green turf. For a residential lawn we generally look at:
We bring samples to the estimate so you can see them in your own light rather than under showroom lighting.
Good turf installed well is not obvious from the sidewalk. Three things give away a bad installation: uniform single-tone colour, visible seams, and a perimeter that does not sit flush with the beds and hardscape. All three are avoidable, and all three are down to product choice and installation care rather than luck.
Most full-lawn projects in Lexington run $7 to $14 per square foot installed. A 500 square foot back yard typically lands between $4,000 and $7,000; an 800 square foot front yard between $5,600 and $10,400. Full pricing breakdown here.
Rinse occasionally to keep dust down. Rake or blow leaves off in autumn the same way you would a patio. Cross-brush high-traffic paths once or twice a year to keep the blades upright. That is genuinely the whole maintenance programme.
