What Turf Installation Looks Like in Riverside
Long-settled neighborhoods share two problems: soil compacted hard by decades of foot traffic and mowing, and mature tree canopy that shades out St. Augustine until it thins to bare dirt.
Because we excavate and rebuild the base rather than laying turf over old sod, the finished surface usually drains better than the grass it replaced -- and turf does not compete with tree roots for water.
