Our Process

How your backyard turf install works

A backyard synthetic grass installation in Austin follows four steps — from your free on-site measure to the finished, ready-to-enjoy yard. Here's exactly how Diamond Field Systems builds it.

  1. Measure & free quote

    We visit your backyard, measure the area, talk through turf and design options, and send an itemized per-square-foot quote — often within one business day.

  2. Demo & excavation

    We remove the old grass and excavate to the correct depth so your new backyard sits flush and level with patios, pools, and hardscape.

  3. Base & drainage

    We install, grade, and compact an engineered aggregate base built for Texas soil and downpours, so water drains fast with no pooling or mud.

  4. Turf, infill & finish

    We roll out premium turf, seam and secure it, add the right infill for pets or play, and power-brush the blades for a soft, natural finish.

Why Homeowners Switch

Why a synthetic grass backyard just works better

The difference is in how it's built. Most turf problems come from the base, not the blade — so our crews engineer the ground first: grading, compaction, drainage, and infill that keep your backyard level, dry, and inviting for years of use.

Base & drainage first

Proper base prep and drainage are what make backyard turf last. That's where we start on every job.

FAQ

Synthetic grass for backyard — FAQs

How much does synthetic grass for a backyard cost in Texas?

Most backyard synthetic grass installation in Texas runs $7–$15 per square foot installed, including premium turf, base material, and labor. Smaller backyards price toward the higher end because fixed setup costs spread over less area; larger yards come down. Diamond Field Systems gives a free, itemized per-square-foot quote after reviewing your space.

Is synthetic grass safe for kids and dogs in the backyard?

Yes. We install antimicrobial, non-toxic, fast-draining turf with cushioned, fall-rated options for play areas. It rinses clean, resists odor, and gives kids and pets a soft, mud-free backyard to enjoy every day.

Does synthetic grass for a backyard really eliminate mowing and watering?

Yes. A synthetic grass backyard needs no mowing, watering, or fertilizing. Upkeep is an occasional rinse and a quick brush in high-traffic spots — which is why homeowners install it to cut water bills and reclaim their weekends.

Does backyard turf get too hot in the Texas sun?

Turf can warm in direct sun, but the right product, infill, and a quick rinse on hot days keep it comfortable. We select heat-appropriate turf and build in drainage so surfaces shed water and cool quickly — great for poolside and patio areas.

How long does a synthetic grass backyard last?

Quality synthetic grass installed on a properly prepared base typically lasts well over 15 years with minimal upkeep. A correct base and drainage are the biggest factors in how long your backyard holds up.

Can you install turf around my pool, patio, or play set?

Absolutely. Poolside and patio turf, play-area turf, pet runs, and backyard putting greens are among our most popular installs and can all be combined into a single backyard project.

Does synthetic grass drain well in heavy Texas rain?

Yes — when it's built right. We install a drainage-engineered base so water passes through the turf and sub-base fast, avoiding pooling and mud in your backyard even after a downpour.
