Lakewood is a tidy, planned post-war city of 1950s ranches on uniform lots, with block-wall backyards, front yards governed by HOA rules, and aging lawns that have baked in the Los Angeles sun for seventy years. Many of those front lawns are now dust or dead fescue, and many homeowners are ready to replace them with realistic, low-water artificial turf that looks good and stays green year-round without the thirst.

Los Angeles Turf Installation has been serving Lakewood (90712) and the surrounding Los Angeles area since 2013. We install residential turf, pet turf for dogs and play areas, putting greens, pool surrounds, and commercial properties. We also repair seams, clean turf, treat pet odors, and remove old lawns and turf. When a Lakewood homeowner calls us, we come out to the property, measure the yard, look at the soil and drainage, check the HOA rules if the work is in the front, and give you an honest estimate in writing with the turf product, face weight, pile height, infill type and depth, and base specifications.

Artificial Grass Installation in Lakewood (90712)

Lakewood yards sit on caliche and clay that does not drain well in heavy rain or when a pool deck or patio is washed. We always inspect the drainage before we build a base, and if water pools or runs toward the house, we fix that first or we walk away. Full sun exposure is the rule here, and artificial turf in direct afternoon sun gets hot. We choose products and infill types rated for heat, and we can add cooling infill if the area is a play zone or a dog run where safety matters. Many Lakewood homeowners have HOA architectural rules that govern front-yard turf, including color, pile height, edge trim, and how much of the lot can be covered. We help you prepare an HOA submittal with photos and specs, but we never promise approval. That decision is the HOA's.

Our team knows Lakewood's soil, sun, and lot layout. We have the equipment to haul turf rolls and base material into tight side yards and over block walls, and we have the experience to work around pools, patios, and the plumbing and electrical lines that run under most yards.

Our services in Lakewood

How a Job Works in Lakewood

We start with a free on-site assessment. You call us at (213) 329-5320 or request an estimate online, and we come to your Lakewood address, walk the yard, measure it, look at the existing lawn or turf, check the drainage and soil, and talk about what you want. We ask about dogs, kids, sun exposure, and any HOA front-yard rules. We take photos and notes, and we give you a written estimate with the turf product, face weight, pile height, infill type and pounds per square foot, base depth, and the total price.

Once you approve, we schedule the work. If the old lawn or turf has to come out, we remove it and haul it away. We grade the area, compact the base material, and lay the turf in rolls, seaming it so the pattern is seamless. We install the infill, brush it in, and make sure the turf is level and tight. We call California 811 before any excavation so that utility lines are marked, and we keep clear of irrigation, low-voltage lighting, and pet-fence wires that are private lines.

When we are done, we clean up all scraps and debris, rake the infill level, and walk you through the finished yard. We leave your property clean and ready to use.

Artificial grass installation in Lakewood starts at $8 per square foot for basic residential turf, and ranges up to $18 per square foot for premium products or vertical walls. Pet turf and dog runs run from $10 per square foot, putting greens from $15 per square foot, and pool surrounds from $9 per square foot. A typical 400 square foot backyard might run $3,200 to $5,600 depending on the turf grade, infill, and whether the old lawn has to be removed. A 1,000 square foot yard could be $8,000 to $15,000 or more. Removal of an old lawn or failed turf runs from $2 per square foot. The main cost factors are the size of the area, the turf product and face weight you choose, the infill type, the base depth and compaction, whether we remove old turf or sod, and access for our equipment and rolls. We measure on site and give you a firm, written price before we start. Call us at (213) 329-5320 for a free estimate, or request one online. We serve Lakewood and all of Los Angeles and the surrounding areas.

✅ Written Turf Specs: Face Weight, Pile Height & Infill, fully insured for work in Lakewood and nearby areas.

My front yard is on the HOA's approved list, but I am not sure what color or pile height they will accept. How do we submit for approval?

We can help. We photograph the turf sample, measure the pile height and face weight, and prepare a submittal package with the product specs and a photo of how it looks in your yard. We send it to your HOA architectural committee for review. HOAs in Lakewood often want a specific shade of green, a pile height under 1.5 inches, and a certain percentage of the front yard to remain hardscape or landscape. We never promise approval, but we make the process clear and straightforward. Call us at (213) 329-5320 to discuss your HOA rules before we start.

We have two dogs and a small backyard. Will artificial turf hold up, and will it smell?

Yes, artificial turf is durable for dogs. We install pet turf with a tighter weave and a base that drains urine away from the surface. The turf itself does not absorb odor the way soil does. We recommend a rinse with the hose once a week to keep things fresh, and if odor builds up, we offer pet odor treatment starting at $250 that neutralizes ammonia and bacteria in the infill. Pet turf starts at $10 per square foot. For a typical dog run or play area, budget $1,500 to $3,000. Call (213) 329-5320 for a free estimate.

How much does it cost to remove my old dead lawn and replace it with artificial turf?

Removal runs from $2 per square foot. A 400 square foot yard would be around $800 to remove the old turf or sod, haul it away, and grade the area. The new turf installation would then run from $3,200 to $5,600 depending on the product you choose. A 1,000 square foot yard might be $2,000 to remove the old lawn, plus $8,000 to $15,000 for new turf. The total depends on the size, the turf grade, the infill, and the base depth. We measure on site and give you a written estimate for the whole job. Call (213) 329-5320.

Does artificial turf in Lakewood require a permit from the city?

Turf installation itself usually does not require a permit. However, if the work involves grading that changes drainage, work in a right-of-way, or a commercial project, you may need approval from the city. For questions about your specific property, check with the Los Angeles County building department or contact the City of Lakewood through the official county website at https://lacounty.gov. We always recommend calling ahead if you are unsure. We can also advise on what might trigger a permit requirement once we see your yard.

My backyard has a drainage problem. Will artificial turf fix it, or do we need to address the soil first?

Artificial turf does not fix a drainage problem. If water pools in your yard or runs toward the house, we have to fix the drainage first. That might mean regrading the base, installing a perimeter drain, or directing water away from structures. We inspect every yard for drainage before we quote a job, and we will not install turf on a property with a water problem. If we find one, we will tell you what needs to be done and give you the option to hire a grading contractor or to walk away. Good drainage under the base is essential for the turf to last.

Are you fully insured for work on my Lakewood property?

Yes, we are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. When you hire us, you get a company that protects your property and our team. We can provide a certificate of insurance on request. We also provide a written spec for every job that names the turf product, face weight, pile height, infill type and pounds per square foot, and base depth. That spec, our local address, references, and photos of finished work are how you vet any turf installer, including us.

When is the best time to install artificial turf in Lakewood?

Fall and early winter are ideal. Lakewood summers are hot and dry, with afternoon temps in the 90s and full sun exposure on most yards. Installing in cooler months makes the work easier and lets the turf settle before the heat of spring and summer. Spring and early summer are also workable, but we often see homeowners rush to get turf installed before a home sale or a family event, and we can usually accommodate that. Winter rain is light in Lakewood, so drainage is not usually a barrier. Call us at (213) 329-5320 to schedule, and we will work around your timeline.
