Turf Installation in Encino Built Around Your Outdoor Space

Option 1 Builders does artificial grass installation in Encino and across the San Fernando Valley. Licensed, bonded, and insured installers have finished more than 1,000 yards since 2002, and every lawn we put down is backed by a 15-year warranty. We also install paver patios and complete front and back yards - quoted as separate lines so you can see exactly what you are paying for.

Homeowners call us when a natural grass lawn is failing in Valley heat. We remove that lawn - the one you have to mow and water - then do turf installation with synthetic turf or synthetic grass. The turf surface stays green without reseeding. Pet turf uses a permeable base and infill chosen for dogs. Putting green installation and custom putting greens are quoted on their own. Turf products come from suppliers we already buy from, including Turf Distributors. A front yard or a full landscape gets the same process from start to finish.

We quote demolition, base, material, edging and drainage as separate lines. So when a cheaper estimate lands on your kitchen table, you can see exactly which one of those it left out.

How we price

Jobs here run from a single turf lawn to a full front-and-back rebuild with pavers, drainage and planting. Natural grass struggles in Valley heat. Artificial grass and synthetic turf can be installed as residential turf for homeowners rather than commercial sites, so the yard gets planned around how your family actually uses it - where the dog runs, where the sun lands at four o'clock, where you want to put a table. Serving Encino, we match the right turf to how you use the outdoor space.

Artificial Grass Installation Services in Encino

Each service below is quoted on its own, with its own material list and base prep. You can hire one of them or combine them into a single plan.

Materials

Quality materials, trusted sources

Turf Products Encino Homeowners Compare in Person

A turf lawn or paver patio only lasts as long as what sits under it. We buy turf products and irrigation parts from established suppliers, so the water that hits the yard has a path off the lot, and you can still get parts years from now.

Why Us

Why Option 1 Builders

What Encino Homeowners Get in Every Installation

One project manager

The person who walks your property is the person who answers your calls during the build. No handoffs to a scheduler you have never met.

Written scope before demo

Materials, base depth, drainage, and price in writing before anything is torn out, so the number at the end matches the number at the start.

In-house crews

Our own installers do the turf, the pavers, and the concrete. Nothing is handed to a rotating cast of subcontractors. Pet turf installation and installing artificial grass use the same crew.

Base prep you cannot see

Compaction, edge restraints, and drainage decide whether pavers stay level and the turf surface stays flat in year five. That is where the labor goes. A front yard replacement is also curb appeal - the lawn neighbors see from the street.

24+ years in the Valley

Working here since 2002 means we know local soil, slopes, permits, and how Valley heat treats materials over a long summer.

15-year turf warranty

Every artificial grass installation we put down is backed by a 15-year warranty. Best of Houzz, BBB accredited, and a 5.0 from 31 Google reviews.

Eli did great work! Extremely professional and impressive quality. Option 1 did a job for me a couple months ago and since then I referred them to a couple friends who are also very pleased with their new yards. I have work with several other landscapers in the past but Option 1 blows the competition away.

Eli the owner always comes through with great work and pricing. I have done work with him as well as referred my friends and colleagues to him who are very pleased with the landscaping work he has done for them.
My wife and I are usually very careful when choosing contractors, so we got 8 different estimates. The price range was extremely wide and honestly pretty confusing — anywhere from $10k to $55k.

When Moses came to meet with us, he took the time to explain every detail, go over the design, and answer all of our questions. His professionalism and knowledge immediately stood out. The quality of work was top-notch, and the price was very fair and reasonable.

As a nice surprise, he also gifted us 10 solar lights, which my wife absolutely loved!

The only downside was that they were very busy, so we had to wait about 3 months for their first availability — but in the end, it was completely worth the wait. Highly recommend!

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

FAQ: Questions Encino Homeowners Actually Ask

We are based at 16400 Ventura Blvd in Encino and work throughout the San Fernando Valley - Sherman Oaks, Tarzana, Van Nuys, North Hollywood, Reseda, Woodland Hills, Studio City - plus nearby Los Angeles areas including Beverly Hills, Santa Monica, Calabasas, and Pasadena. Call us with your address and we will confirm.

Price depends on square footage, how much demolition and grading the yard needs, the turf pile you choose, and drainage. That is why estimates you collect can range so widely. We measure on site and give you a written number tied to a specific material and base spec instead of a per-foot guess over the phone.

A front yard turf replacement is often a few days. A larger back yard or a lawn paired with pavers usually runs about one to two weeks. A full front-and-back transformation with irrigation, drainage, and hardscape can take several weeks. Your written proposal includes the expected timeline.

Yes. Pet installations use a permeable base and drainage layer so urine passes through instead of pooling, plus infill chosen for pet use. Tell us at the walkthrough that you have dogs so the base is built for it from the start.

Yes. We install paver patios, walkways, driveways, pool decks, and retaining walls, along with poured concrete. Pavers are set on a compacted base with bedding sand and edge restraints, which is what keeps them from shifting or sinking later.

Yes. We remove and dispose of the existing turf, inspect the base underneath, correct any drainage or compaction problems we find, then install the new turf. Reusing a failed base is the most common reason a second turf job goes wrong.

DG is a crushed granite fine used for pathways, patios, and low-water areas. It compacts into a firm natural-looking surface, drains well, and pairs with pavers, stepping stones, and drought-tolerant planting. It is a common choice for Valley yards replacing lawn.

Yes. We install and modify sprinkler and drip systems and build drainage that moves water away from the house and off the property. On sloped Valley lots this is usually the part that protects everything else you are paying for.

Yes. Vinyl fencing is one of our services and is a low-maintenance option for privacy and property lines. It can be quoted on its own or included in a full yard project.

Yes. Visit the Encino showroom at 16400 Ventura Blvd, Suite 319 to compare turf pile and color, paver styles, and finish materials at full size. Photos on a phone screen rarely match how a material reads across a whole yard.

Every artificial grass installation we complete is backed by a 15-year warranty. We walk the coverage with you at the estimate so you know what is included before you sign, and we put it in the written scope.

Yes. Option 1 Builders is licensed, bonded, and insured under California license # 1122918. You can verify that number with the CSLB, and we will hand you a copy of the license and insurance certificate at the walkthrough, before any work begins.

Call 818-297-2475, email info.option1builders@gmail.com, or submit the form on this page. We will schedule a walkthrough, measure the space, and follow up with a written scope and price.

Option 1 Builders answers all three in writing before demolition starts - our own installers do the work, and the lawn is backed by a 15-year warranty. Book a free consultation, call 818-297-2475, or request a free estimate and we will walk your property this week.
