The base is the whole job
We excavate 3–4 inches, lay class II base, and compact it in lifts — not one thick pass. A base compacted in one pass keeps settling for a year and that is where the dips and wrinkles come from.

Installing across North Fontana and Southridge every week
Fontana tract yards are usually compact, fully fenced, and shared with kids and dogs. We rebuild them so they stay green and usable year round: full demo, compacted base, tight seams, and one written price handed to you at the estimate.

Why Homeowners Call Us
Most of our Fontana calls come from families who are tired of mud in winter and a burnt lawn by June.
Watering a Fontana tract lawn through the summer is thousands of gallons a month for grass that still thins out along the fence line. Turf takes that off the bill permanently.
No mower, no edger, no green waste bin, no gardener showing up at 7am. Saturday morning is yours again.
No bare patches where the sprinkler never reached, no reseeding every fall, no excuses when company comes over.
Permeable base and antimicrobial infill means urine flushes straight through instead of sitting in the soil. No mud, no smell, no paw prints down the hallway.
No mud, no foxtails, no fertilizer or weed killer in the dirt they are rolling around in. Padded underlay under play structures if you want it.
Good turf on a properly compacted base outlasts three or four rounds of resodding — and it never needs to be replaced because the sprinkler timer failed.
Call now and get a written estimate — not a ballpark over the phone.
We measure your yard, check the drainage, and leave you a real number the same visit.
Google Reviews
Fontana projects, with the neighborhood and the job listed on every review.
“Two kids and a dog destroyed our lawn. They demoed Monday, finished Tuesday, and the yard has taken everything since. Seams are invisible.”
“They found the low corner the builder left and regraded it before base went in. First storm after, no puddles anywhere.”
“Shock pad under the play structure and turf over the top. Kids fall and get up. Crew was polite and cleaned everything off the patio.”
“No more muddy paws in the winter. The edges are nailed down tight and my dog has not been able to lift a corner.”

Why Turf Mind
Newer yards look simple, but a shallow builder-grade grade and a thin base are exactly what makes a turf install ripple two years later.



From Sierra Lakes to Southridge we are working the same tract layouts week after week. We know where the builders left the low spot and how much base a compacted Fontana pad really needs.
The person who measures your yard works for us, and so does every installer who shows up. Nobody is handing your job off to a day crew they have never met.
3–4 inches of class II base, compacted in lifts, graded to slope. The base is what fails on cheap installs — not the turf.
15-year turf warranty plus our own workmanship guarantee, handed to you on paper before you pay anything.
Several turf grades and flexible project scopes, so we can shape the job around the yard you actually want. One written price up front, no surprises.
Same-week estimates most weeks. We give you a start date, we keep it, and we haul off every scrap before we leave.

How We Build It
Almost every failed turf yard we get called out to rebuild failed for the same four reasons. Here is how we handle each one.

We excavate 3–4 inches, lay class II base, and compact it in lifts — not one thick pass. A base compacted in one pass keeps settling for a year and that is where the dips and wrinkles come from.

We grade to slope away from the house and check the low spots with water before anything green goes down. Permeable backing only matters if the base under it actually moves water.

Every roll runs the same direction so the color matches in sunlight. Seams get tape and adhesive, then get nailed off. A visible seam is the fastest way to tell a rushed install.

Infill goes in at the right rate and gets broomed in so blades stand up and stay up. Perimeters get bender board or nailed edging every few inches so dogs and hoses cannot lift an edge.

Perfect For
Wet pool decking, a dead side yard nobody walks in, a dog run that turns to mud every winter — these are the areas homeowners tell us they are happiest they finally fixed.

Our Process
Most Fontana yards are finished in 1 to 3 days. You get the start date, the crew names, and the price in writing before demo begins.
We measure, check your grade and drainage, show you turf samples you can feel, and hand you a written price. Usually 30 minutes.
Old sod, weeds, and 3–4 inches of soil come out. Sprinkler lines get capped. Everything leaves in our truck the same day.
Class II base goes in and gets compacted in lifts, graded to slope so water moves off the yard instead of pooling against the house.
Turf laid with the grain matched, seams taped and glued, edges nailed every few inches, then infill broomed in so the blades stand up.
We blow down the hardscape, load out every scrap, then walk the yard with you before the job is closed out.
Start with step one — it is free and it takes 30 minutes.
