What the job started with
Turf round the back of the house, starting from the ground up
This Valley Center house, in ZIP 92082, has a yard that runs from the back patio and its glass doors out to a planted slope. The job was to cover it with artificial turf, following the house round to the open side of the yard.
Turf only looks right if what is under it is firm and level, so most of the job happened before any turf arrived: the ground was graded, a gravel base was spread and run over with a plate compactor, and weed-barrier fabric was rolled out across the whole area.
The work
What the job involved, in order
Grade the ground
The area behind the house was graded so the finished lawn would sit level against the patio and the house wall.
Spread and compact the base
A gravel base went down over the graded ground and was compacted with a plate compactor, so the turf has a firm, even bed.
Weed barrier
Black weed-barrier fabric was rolled out over the whole base, seams overlapped, before any turf went down.
Set the bender-board edge
Bender board was set along the open side of the lawn, following its curve, to hold the edge of the turf against the planting bed.
Lay and finish the turf
The synthetic turf was rolled out, cut to the house, the patio and the curved edge, and brushed up. The homeowner signed the job off as complete in June 2026.
How it ended
A turf lawn on a compacted base, edged and done inside a week
The yard came out of the job with a continuous lawn of artificial turf from the patio to the planting bed, on a graded and compacted gravel base with weed barrier underneath, and a bender-board edge that keeps the curve crisp. The work started and was signed off inside one week in June 2026.
