A full backyard conversion is a different job than a small accent strip. Grading has to move water the right direction across the whole footprint, and the layout has to work around patios, planters, and existing irrigation without leaving awkward seams in the middle of the yard. Scottsdale Artificial Turf Pros handles full backyard installs from bare dirt or dying sod, with base compaction sized for the whole lot rather than a patchwork approach.
Scottsdale backyards often sit on compacted, caliche-heavy soil left over from newer-build grading. We account for that in the base depth before turf ever goes down.

Materials
Materials and Methods for Residential Backyard Turf Installation
Family backyards see daily foot traffic, bare feet in summer, and a lot of direct sun. Material choice has to balance comfort with durability.
Soft residential turf
Comfortable, soft-textured turf fibers are suited for family and recreational use through hot summers.
Curved edge trim kits
Custom trim materials help shape turf around garden beds and curves common in backyard landscaping.
Standard base aggregate
A compacted aggregate base supports everyday residential foot traffic and resists settling.
Cool-touch infill
Infill designed to reduce surface heat for barefoot comfort during the long summer season.
Decorative edging strips
Edging strips create clean transitions between turf and hardscape areas like patios and pool decks.
Low-maintenance backing
Backing material reduces the need for frequent upkeep across a full-size backyard lawn.
