Turf Installation: What to Expect From Start to Finish

Tired of your lawn turning to dust every summer? Or maybe you're done pouring money into watering, mowing, and patching dead spots. If you're ready for a cleaner, greener solution that actually holds up in Arizona, turf might be the upgrade you've been waiting for. 

At White Rhino Turf, we specialize in high-performance installs that hold up to Arizona's heat, your day-to-day life, and real backyard traffic. Here’s what happens when you choose us to transform your outdoor space.

Step 1: We Prep Your Yard the Right Way

We start by removing existing grass, weeds, or gravel and leveling the area to set a solid foundation. This isn't a surface-level scrape. We excavate down to the depth required for proper base materials, adjust drainage, and cap or reroute irrigation as needed.

This first step matters—it’s what prevents future sinking, wrinkles, or water issues.

Step 2: We Build a Strong, Stable Base

Once the area is cleared, we install a compacted rock base (usually 2–4 inches deep). This layer supports drainage, keeps your lawn smooth, and ensures your turf feels solid underfoot.

We don’t cut corners here. A clean, compacted base is the backbone of a long-lasting install—especially in Arizona’s extreme climate.

Step 3: We Choose the Right Turf for Your Life

Not every yard needs the same turf. We’ll help you choose the right TurfHub product from our premium collection:

• Bermuda Pro and Sierra Blend Pro: For high-traffic zones that need durability and a clean finish
• Natural Blend Pro: For homeowners who want maximum realism and softness
• Santa Barbara Blend: For elegant, high-end landscapes with rich texture
• All include CoolFlo technology to keep surfaces up to 15 degrees cooler under direct sun
  

Whether you have kids, pets, full sun, or shaded zones, we match the turf to your lifestyle—not just your square footage.

Step 4: We Install, Seam, and Shape With Precision

We roll out the turf, custom-cut it to fit your space, and bond seams so they’re practically invisible. Edges are carefully shaped around pavers, curbing, and planter beds for a clean, natural finish.

No staples showing. No lifted corners. Just a yard that looks finished and stays that way.

Step 5: Infill and Final Touches

We topdress the turf with your choice of infill:

• Envirofill for antimicrobial protection and long-term pet odor control
• HydroChill for cooling performance in full-sun areas
• Or a custom blend to meet your yard’s specific needs
  

We power brush the blades to stand them upright and clean the surface before we leave. You’re left with a fully installed, low-maintenance lawn that’s ready to use.

Step 6: Add-ons and Full Outdoor Builds

If you’re doing more than just turf, we can handle that too. White Rhino Turf also installs:

• Pavers and mow strips
• Landscape lighting
• Custom borders and hardscaping
  

We can help you create a backyard that’s both functional and beautifully finished—all in one go.

How Long Does Turf Installation Take?

Most projects are completed in one to three days, depending on the size and complexity. No concrete, no long waiting periods. Just a fast, clean transformation.
