Manor is growing fast, and so are the yards. Young families in new subdivisions across east Travis County are trading muddy builder dirt and struggling St. Augustine lawns for artificial turf that works in the Texas heat and holds up to dogs, kids and the occasional flash flood.

Austin Turf Installation has been serving Manor (78653) and the surrounding Austin area since 2013. We know the Blackland clay that sits under most Manor yards, the full summer sun that bakes a backyard, and the HOA rules that govern what you can do in front. We install residential turf, pet turf for dog runs, putting greens, pool surrounds and patios. We repair seams, clean turf and treat pet odor. When a yard needs to come out and start over, we handle the removal and the conversion. We write down what we are putting in your yard, face weight and pile height and infill type, so you know exactly what you have.

Artificial Grass Installation in Manor (78653)

Manor sits on Blackland prairie, flat and clay-heavy, with caliche not far below the surface. That means drainage matters. A yard that pools water after a hard rain will pool water under turf if the base is not done right. We grade and prep the subgrade, lay a permeable base, compact it properly and account for how water moves across your lot. If there is an old lawn that has died or turned to dust, or an old artificial turf that is lifting at the seams or holding odor, we remove it first and start fresh.

The sun in Manor is relentless from May through September. We choose turf products and infills rated for the heat, orient the pile to shed light, and we tell you honestly what to expect on a 100-degree day. If your yard is shaded by a live oak or cedar elm, we work with that. If it is wide open, we size the turf and infill to handle the exposure.

HOA rules in many Manor subdivisions govern front-yard turf color, pile height, edging and how much of the yard you can cover. We help prepare submittals for your HOA, though we cannot promise approval. Back yards are usually yours to design. We have installed pet turf in dozens of Manor yards, putting greens for homeowners who want to practice at home, and turf around pools and patios. Our team has the experience to handle tight side-yard access when rolls and base material have to be carried through, and we leave your property clean when we are done.

How a Job Works in Manor

We start with a free on-site assessment. We measure the area, look at the sun and shade, check drainage and soil, and talk about what you want the turf to do. If you have an HOA, we discuss the submittal process. We give you a written quote that names the turf product, face weight, pile height, infill type and base depth. No surprises.

On installation day, we prepare the base. If there is old turf or a dead lawn, we remove it. We grade the subgrade to shed water, lay a compacted base of the right depth and material, and then roll and seam the new turf. We use a plate compactor and hand tools to get tight seams and a smooth finish. We position the pile to shed light and heat. We infill with the product we specified, brush it in and rinse. The work takes a day or two, depending on size and access.

We do a final walkthrough with you, show you how to care for the turf, and leave the yard clean. If you have a dog run or a pet area, we show you how to rinse and maintain it so odor does not build up.

Residential artificial grass in Manor typically runs from 8 to 10 dollars per square foot, depending on the turf product, infill and base depth. A 400 square foot backyard might cost 3,200 to 4,000 dollars installed. A 1,000 square foot yard is usually 8,000 to 10,000 dollars. Pet turf and dog runs run higher, from 10 to 12 dollars per square foot, because the base and infill have to handle urine and drainage. Putting greens start at 15 dollars per square foot. Pool surrounds and patios are 9 to 11 dollars per square foot. Removal of old turf or lawn is 2 to 3 dollars per square foot. The main cost factors are the size of the area, the turf product and face weight you choose, the infill type and pounds per square foot, the depth and compaction of the base, and what has to be removed first. Tight access or complex grading can add to the price. We measure on site and give you a written estimate. Call us at (737) 273-9578 for a free quote.

My backyard in Manor is pure clay and it stays wet after a heavy rain. Will artificial turf solve the drainage problem?

Not by itself. If water is pooling on your lot, we have to fix the grading and base first or the turf will sit on wet ground and fail. We slope the subgrade away from the house, lay a permeable base of the right depth and material, and compact it so water drains through. Then we install the turf. If the lot has a serious drainage issue, we tell you upfront and may recommend consulting a grading professional before we start. We do not install turf on a wet foundation.

How hot does artificial grass get in a Manor summer, and can you do anything about it?

On a 100-degree day with full sun, the surface of standard turf can reach 150 degrees or more. That is real. We manage heat in several ways. We choose turf products rated for heat and lighter in color. We use cooling infills like crumb rubber blended with sand, or newer infills designed to stay cooler. We orient the pile to shed light. We rinse the turf on hot days to cool it down. If your yard has shade from a live oak or cedar elm, that helps a lot. We are honest about what to expect. If the heat is a deal-breaker for your use, we tell you.

What does artificial grass cost per square foot in Manor, and what does a typical backyard run?

Residential turf starts at 8 dollars per square foot for standard products and base prep. A 400 square foot backyard is roughly 3,200 to 4,000 dollars. A 1,000 square foot yard runs 8,000 to 10,000 dollars. Pet turf for dog runs is 10 to 12 dollars per square foot because the base and infill have to handle drainage and odor. The price depends on the turf product, face weight and infill you choose, the depth of the base, removal of old turf or lawn, and access to the yard. Call (737) 273-9578 for a free on-site estimate.

My HOA has rules about front-yard turf color and pile height. How does that work?

Most Manor HOAs have architectural guidelines for front yards. They specify color, pile height, edging and sometimes how much of the yard can be covered. We help you prepare a submittal with photos and product specs so the HOA can review it. We cannot promise approval, but we know what the guidelines typically require. Back yards are usually not restricted. Check your HOA documents or contact your board. If you need help with the submittal, we are here to help.

What goes under artificial grass, and how deep does the base need to be?

We prepare the subgrade by grading and compacting it so water drains away from your house and structures. We lay a permeable base of crushed limestone or recycled asphalt, usually 2 to 4 inches deep, and compact it with a plate compactor. The base lets water drain through instead of pooling. Then we roll the turf and seam it. The base depth depends on the soil, drainage and the use of the yard. Pet areas and high-traffic zones need thicker, better-compacted base. We specify the base depth in your written estimate.

Are you fully insured for this work?

Yes. We carry general liability and workers' compensation insurance. You can ask for a certificate of insurance before we start. We also provide a written spec for every job that names the turf product, face weight, pile height, infill type and base depth, so you know exactly what is going in your yard.

What is the best time of year to install artificial grass in Manor?

We install turf year-round, but fall and spring are easier on the crew and the material. Summer heat makes the base material and turf harder to work with, and the intense sun can be tough. Fall, from September through November, is ideal. Spring, March through May, is also good. If your yard needs to be ready for an event, a sale or a move-in, we can work around your timeline. Call (737) 273-9578 to schedule.
