Artificial Turf Installation in the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley
If you’re done fighting bare patches, muddy paws, and a mower that never seems to keep up, artificial turf might be the fix.
Improve Your Property With Artificial Turf
We install synthetic lawns across Coquitlam, Port Coquitlam, Pitt Meadows, Maple Ridge, Langley, Abbotsford, Mission, and the rest of the Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley, and we build every yard to handle our region’s wet winters and dry summers without pooling, fading, or matting down.
A synthetic lawn gives you the look of a healthy, green yard every day of the year, without the watering, mowing, fertilizing, or weeding a natural lawn demands. That matters most on properties where grass has never really taken, whether that’s a shaded side yard, a slope that erodes every time it rains, or a high-traffic area kids and dogs have worn down to dirt. We work with the latest turf products so whatever your yard is used for, from relaxing to entertaining to putting, it holds up to steady use and still looks like real grass up close.
We can also custom-design the finished look, including blade colour, texture, and pile height, so the lawn fits the rest of your property instead of looking like a patch of green carpet dropped on top of it.
How Much Does Artificial Turf Cost in BC?
Installed artificial turf in the Lower Mainland typically runs in the $12 to $20 per square foot range, with most residential lawns landing around the middle of that range once you account for turf quality, labour, and site conditions. A few things move the number up or down:
- Turf quality: material costs alone generally fall between $3 and $6 per square foot, and denser, more realistic-looking products cost more than economy turf.
- Labour and site prep: installation labour is usually based on square footage, and it climbs on yards that need extra excavation, old sod removal, or grading before the base goes in.
- Infill and edging: infill selection, edging, and finishing details typically add another small amount per square foot.
As a quick note, any pricing above is provided as a rough estimate. We give every project a fixed-price quote before work starts, so you know the total cost upfront rather than getting a surprise invoice partway through.

Built for BC’s Rain: Drainage and Base Preparation
The Fraser Valley gets enough rainfall that drainage isn’t optional; it’s the part of the installation that determines whether your new lawn still looks good in five years. We excavate the area and build a compacted base of angular crushed rock, typically four to six inches deep, separated from the native soil below with geotextile fabric so silt and clay don’t work their way up into the base over time. That base gives water somewhere to go instead of sitting on the surface or turning the yard soft underfoot.
The turf itself is also engineered to move water. A properly installed synthetic lawn drains at a rate well beyond anything the Fraser Valley sees in a typical storm, so standing water and soggy patches simply aren’t an issue once the install is complete. We assess drainage on every site before we quote it, including where water currently collects on your property, so the base we build actually solves the problem rather than just covering it up.
Artificial Turf Is Ideal For
Landscaping
For everyday front and back yards, artificial turf takes the guesswork out of keeping a lawn green through a hot, dry Fraser Valley summer or a soggy Lower Mainland winter. We design the layout, grade the site, and install turf that follows the natural lines of your property so it reads as a lawn, not an add-on.
Playgrounds
Kids play hard, and a natural lawn under a swing set or trampoline turns into a dirt patch within a season. Turf built for play areas holds up to constant traffic and stays consistent underfoot, so you’re not patching bald spots every spring.
Pets
Dogs are hard on grass, and artificial turf built for pets is designed around that. We install permeable backing that lets urine drain straight through to the base instead of pooling on the surface, paired with infill chosen for odour control, options like zeolite, which neutralizes ammonia on contact, or antimicrobial-coated sand, which resists the bacteria that cause odour in the first place. Combining the two gives the best results in yards with more than one dog. A quick hose-down keeps the surface fresh, and there’s no muddy dog to deal with after a rainy walk in the yard.
Putting Greens
A backyard putting green lives or dies on pile height and speed. We build greens with the low, dense pile that gives a true, consistent roll, and we tune the infill so the green plays at the speed you want, whether that’s a relaxed pace for casual practice or something closer to what you’d find on a real course. Every green we build is sized and shaped to fit your yard, not a stock kit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is artificial turf safe for pets?
Yes. Turf built for pets uses a permeable backing so urine drains through to the base instead of sitting on the surface, and we pair it with odour-controlling infill so the yard stays fresh between cleanings. It also holds up to digging and running far better than natural grass.
How much does artificial turf cost per square foot in BC?
Most Lower Mainland installations fall between $12 and $20 per square foot installed, depending on turf quality, site prep, and infill. We give you a fixed-price quote after seeing the site so there are no surprises.
Will artificial turf drain properly during Fraser Valley winters?
Yes, when it’s installed with the right base. We build a compacted crushed rock base with geotextile fabric underneath the turf itself, which together handle far more water than our typical rainfall produces.
How long does artificial turf last?
Most residential installations last 15 to 20 years with normal use, and turf products typically carry an 8 to 15 year manufacturer warranty. Regular rinsing and brushing helps you get the longer end of that range.
Does artificial turf need any maintenance?
It needs far less than natural grass. An occasional rinse, a brush to keep the blades standing upright, and clearing off leaves or debris is generally all it takes to keep it looking sharp.
Can artificial turf be installed on a slope or uneven yard?
Yes. We grade and level the base during installation so the finished turf sits flush and even, even on yards that currently have drainage problems or an awkward slope.
Is artificial turf a good fit for a shaded yard where grass won't grow?
Yes, in fact, that’s one of the most common reasons people call us. Since artificial turf doesn’t need sunlight to stay green, it’s often the simplest fix for a shaded side yard or a spot under mature trees where natural grass has never taken hold.
