The trees planted when Salmon Creek subdivisions were built are now twenty-five years tall, and a lot of back yards that grew grass fine in 2005 are moss today. Turf is frequently the honest answer once shade has passed the point where any grass will hold.
Because these yards are usually replacing an existing failing lawn rather than starting from raw ground, the install includes stripping the old turf and moss layer and dealing with whatever drainage problem helped kill it. Laying synthetic turf over ground that already ponds just gives you a puddle with green carpet on it.
Fir and cedar needle drop is the one ongoing maintenance item here — blowing the surface off a couple of times a year keeps debris from composting in the fibers and growing moss on top of the turf.
How we build it
- Excavation and geotextile separation over native clay
- Compacted free-draining crushed rock base
- Stretched and secured turf, not loose-laid
- Glued and stapled seams on seam tape
- Odor-controlling infill for pet installations
- Optional shock pad under play areas
Artificial turf earns its keep in exactly the situations where real grass struggles here: deep shade under firs, narrow side yards that never dry out, dog runs that turn to mud by November, and small back yards where mowing is more hassle than the lawn is worth.

Artificial Turf Installation in Salmon Creek: questions we get
Does artificial turf drain in Pacific Northwest rain?
Yes, when the base is built for it. The turf backing is perforated and the crushed rock base beneath it moves water vertically into the subgrade. The failures we see are installations laid over compacted clay with nowhere for water to go, which puddles and grows algae. Drainage is a base problem, not a turf problem.
How long does artificial turf last?
A quality turf on a properly built base generally gives 15 to 20 years of residential use. Most products carry a manufacturer warranty in the 8 to 15 year range against UV degradation and fiber loss.
Is it safe for dogs?
Yes. Solid waste is picked up as normal and urine drains through the backing into the base. We use an infill that resists odor rather than a sand infill that holds it, and periodic rinsing keeps a pet area fresh.
