What we install
Option 1 Builders installs artificial grass in Encino and across the San Fernando Valley. We remove the old lawn, compact a draining base, then seam, nail, and infill so the lawn stays flat. Every artificial grass installation we complete is backed by a 15-year warranty.
The number on a turf bid is not the pile height. It is the base. If the estimate does not name demolition, compaction, drainage, and edge restraint as separate lines, you are comparing a lawn to a rug.
Turf products come from suppliers we already buy from, including Turf Distributors. You can compare turf pile and color at the Encino showroom at 16400 Ventura Blvd, Suite 319. We do not sell bags of soil or rolls of turf over a counter.
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. We also install paver patios and complete front and back yards.
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.
A front yard or a full landscape gets the same process from start to finish. Artificial turf installation and synthetic turf installation use a compacted base so water drains. That is curb appeal on Encino properties - the lawn neighbors see from the street.
Premium synthetic turf and premium artificial turf installation still fail if the base is wrong. We do not quote a per square foot number before we walk the property. A free consultation is the walkthrough. Installation services in Encino are residential, not commercial.
Artificial grass in Encino and turf installation Encino jobs use the same installer: one project manager, in-house crews, written scope. Grass installation in Encino for a front yard is often a few days. Installation in Encino for a lawn paired with pavers usually runs one to two weeks.

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 a homeowner rather than commercial turf, so the yard gets planned around how your family actually uses the outdoor space: 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.
Each turf installation Encino job is quoted on its own, with its own material list and base prep. Encino residents can hire turf installation or combine it with pavers into a single plan for the outdoor space.

Premium synthetic turf and premium artificial turf installation still fail if the base is wrong. We do not quote a per square foot number before we walk the property. A free consultation is the walkthrough.
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. Materials, base depth, drainage, and price go in writing before anything is torn out, so the number at the end matches the number at the start.
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. 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.
Working here since 2002 means we know local soil, slopes, permits, and how Valley heat treats materials over a long summer. Every artificial turf installation we put down is backed by a 15-year warranty. Best of Houzz, BBB accredited, and a 5.0 from 31 Google reviews.

Pick turf pile and color, paver style and pattern, and finish materials, in person at our Encino showroom if you want to see them at full size.

Get straight answers on the cost of artificial grass, installation cost, and timeline before you commit. Your project manager walks the property with you, explains turf systems that actually fit your yard, and tells you what is realistic at your number.

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. The same is true for installation cost in Encino: we do not quote a per-foot number before we walk the property.
If you are comparing the cost of artificial grass and other bids, ask every contractor the same three questions: how deep is the base, how does water leave the yard, and who is on site each day.
