Serving Green Valley and nearby communities.
A yard doesn't have to be all turf or all rock. Green Valley Artificial Turf Experts designs combined layouts that use turf where a lawn makes sense and xeriscape beds where low-water plantings do the job better, which fits how a lot of Green Valley lots are already laid out.
This approach works well for homeowners who want a green lawn area for appearance or pets without committing the whole yard to turf, or who want to cut water use further than turf alone allows. We zone the yard during design so turf, rock, and plant beds transition cleanly instead of looking stitched together.

How Our Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design Process Works
Step 1Landscape concept design
We balance turf areas with drought-tolerant plantings and hardscape in one combined plan.
Step 2Zone mapping
Turf, rock, and plant areas get mapped out clearly before any digging starts.
Step 3Soil and rock prep
Turf zones and planting beds are prepped differently since they need different base conditions.
Step 4Turf section installation
Turf goes in within its designated zones according to the approved layout.
Step 5Plant bed integration
Drought-tolerant plants and rock features are added to round out the design.
Step 6Design finishing touches
Borders and transitions between zones get refined for a clean, cohesive look.

FAQs
Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design FAQs
Does turf help lower water bills compared to a grass lawn?
And combining turf with xeriscape zones cuts water use further than turf alone, since the planted areas use low-water, drought-tolerant species.
How do you decide where turf goes versus rock or plants?
We look at how the space is used. Areas for pets, play, or seating usually get turf; decorative or low-traffic zones work well as xeriscape beds.
Can I add turf to an existing xeriscape yard?
This is one of the more common requests we get in Green Valley, usually from homeowners wanting a green patch without ripping out existing rock and plant beds entirely.
What plants work best next to artificial turf?
Drought-tolerant, low-litter species work best since they won't drop debris or roots into the turf infill over time.
Is a combo design more expensive than an all-turf yard?
It depends on the size of each zone. Smaller turf sections paired with xeriscape can sometimes cost less than a full-yard turf install, though plant and rock material add their own cost.
