Salen’s installs artificial turf and custom putting greens for homeowners in Elk Grove, Sacramento, Roseville, Folsom, Davis, and nearby areas who want a clean, low-maintenance yard that still looks finished and usable year-round.
Whether you need a front-yard upgrade, a backyard pet area, or a practice green built to fit your space, we handle the grading, base preparation, turf installation, and finishing work needed for a durable result.
Artificial Turf Installation Services
We install artificial turf for practical landscape use, not just appearance. Each project is shaped around how the space will actually be used and how the surface needs to drain and hold up over time.

- Artificial turf for front yards, backyards, side yards, and low-maintenance lawn replacements.
- Pet-friendly turf areas and play spaces that are easier to keep clean than worn natural grass.
- Custom putting greens with optional fringe, contours, and practice-focused layouts.
- Site grading, base installation, edging, and infill work to support a stable finished surface.
- Turf installation planned around existing hardscape, planting beds, trees, and drainage conditions.
Custom Backyard Putting Greens
A putting green should fit the property and the way you want to use it. We build custom greens for practice, family use, and backyard entertaining, with shapes and transitions that make sense for the available space.
If you want a simple practice surface or a more detailed green with movement and fringe, we can build the layout around your yard rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all installation.
Our Installation Process
- Free On-Site Consultation: We visit the property, review the area, and talk through how you want the turf or putting green to function.
- Custom Design & Estimate: We outline the scope, layout, and materials so you know what is being installed and what the project includes.
- Professional Installation: Our crew prepares the site, installs the base and turf system, and finishes the project for a clean, usable result.
Why Base Prep and Drainage Matter
Artificial turf performs best when the base underneath it is prepared correctly. Grading, compaction, and drainage planning all affect how the finished surface looks, feels, and holds up.
That matters even more on properties with runoff, uneven areas, heavy use, or pets. When drainage is part of the challenge, Salens can also coordinate related drainage system work so the finished surface performs better over time.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is artificial turf good for pets?
Yes. Artificial turf is a popular option for pet areas because it cuts down on mud, worn spots, and lawn damage. Good drainage and base prep are important for long-term performance.
How much maintenance does artificial turf require?
Artificial turf requires far less maintenance than natural grass. There is no mowing, watering, or fertilizing, though occasional cleaning and grooming still help keep it looking its best.

Yes. We install custom putting greens based on the yard size, intended use, and layout you want, including options for contours, fringe, and surrounding landscape integration.
