Tigard's 1970s and 1980s neighborhoods sit under tall Douglas firs and western hemlocks, where moss and mud take over during the long wet season and thick shade kills grass under mature trees. If your backyard in 97223 stays soggy through winter or your lawn has thinned to bare patches under the canopy, artificial turf is a practical solution that works year-round without fertilizer or mowing.

Portland Artificial Grass Installation has served Tigard homeowners since 2013. We know the heavy clay soils here, the drainage challenges on sloped lots near the West Hills, and the HOA rules that govern front-yard turf in many Tigard neighborhoods. We install turf that handles dogs, kids, pools and patios, and we stand behind our work with a written specification that names the turf product, face weight, pile height, infill and base depth.

Artificial Grass Installation in Tigard (97223)

Tigard's yards face real challenges. The clay soils here hold water, and winter rains turn backyards into mud pits. Shade from mature firs and street trees makes it nearly impossible to grow a healthy lawn, and moss thrives where grass won't. Dogs and kids wear the grass thin in high-traffic areas, and the wet season keeps everything damp and smelly. A solid artificial turf installation solves all of this: no mud, no moss, no dead patches under the trees, and a yard that drains properly and stays clean even after rain.

We've installed turf in Tigard backyards, dog runs, pool surrounds and patios for over a decade. We understand the lot sizes here (many Tigard properties are 0.25 to 0.5 acres with side yards tight enough to require careful planning for material delivery), the HOA architectural rules that apply to front-yard turf color and pile height, and the drainage improvements that have to happen before the turf goes down. We work with the local soil and slope, not against it.

Our services in Tigard

How a Job Works in Tigard

We start with a free on-site assessment. You show us the area you want to cover, tell us about foot traffic, pets, sun exposure and any drainage problems you've noticed. We measure the space, look at the existing lawn or hardscape, and talk through turf options, infill choices and pricing. If your front yard is governed by HOA rules, we'll help you prepare a submittal with the turf product, color and pile height so you know what approval looks like before we start.

The installation itself begins with removal of the old lawn or turf (if needed), grading to fix drainage and slope, and laying a compacted base of recycled asphalt or crushed rock. We order turf rolls to fit your space, unroll and seam them carefully, and set the infill (typically crumb rubber, sand or a blend) so the turf sits firm and drains cleanly. On tight Tigard side yards, we plan material delivery and staging in advance so we're not blocking your neighbors' driveways or the street. If you have a pool surround or patio, we fit the turf edges neatly and make sure water sheds away from foundations.

We finish with a full cleanup, haul away all debris, and walk through the yard with you to make sure the seams are tight, the infill is even and the turf sits flush with your hardscape and existing landscape.

Artificial grass installation in Tigard typically runs from $8 per square foot for a basic residential backyard turf up to $10 per square foot for pet turf and dog runs, and higher for specialty applications like putting greens (from $15 per square foot) or artificial grass walls (from $18 per square foot). A typical 400 square foot backyard project (roughly a 20x20 space) costs between $3,200 and $4,000 installed, depending on the turf grade, infill and whether you need old sod or turf removed first. A larger 1,000 square foot yard runs $8,000 to $10,000 or more if drainage work is required. The main cost factors are the turf product and face weight you choose, the infill type and depth, the condition of the soil and whether we're removing an old lawn, old turf or hardscape, and site access for our equipment and material delivery. We'll give you an honest, detailed estimate on the phone or in person. Call us at (971) 290-6089 for a free measure and quote.

My backyard is shaded by big firs and stays damp all winter. Will artificial turf solve the mud and moss problem?

Yes. Artificial turf drains water through the infill and base layer so mud doesn't form, and it doesn't need sunlight to stay green and firm. Moss won't grow on the turf itself. The key is proper base preparation and drainage grading so water doesn't pool at the edges or against your foundation. On a Tigard lot with poor drainage, we may recommend a base depth of 4 to 6 inches of compacted recycled asphalt to ensure water moves away from the house. Call us at (971) 290-6089 and we'll assess the slope and soil on your property.

I have two dogs and a small backyard in Tigard. How hot does artificial turf get, and will it burn their paws?

In full sun on a hot summer day, the turf surface can reach 120 to 140 degrees Fahrenheit. Dogs can walk on it, but extended time on very hot turf isn't comfortable. The best fixes are shade (a pergola or tree canopy), a lighter-colored turf, a cooling infill like crumb rubber mixed with sand, and rinsing the turf with a hose on the hottest afternoons. Pet turf is typically a shorter, denser pile that drains urine faster and resists odor better than standard residential turf. We recommend pet turf in the $10 per square foot range for Tigard dog runs. Call (971) 290-6089 to discuss options for your dogs' comfort.

What's a realistic price for artificial turf in a 500 square foot Tigard backyard?

A 500 square foot backyard with standard residential turf, basic infill and no major drainage work typically costs $4,000 to $5,000 installed. If you need old sod removed, the cost rises by $1,000 to $1,500. If you choose pet turf for durability and odor resistance, add 20 to 25 percent. Putting green turf costs significantly more because of the tighter pile and sand infill. The best way to know is a free on-site estimate. Call (971) 290-6089.

I live in a Tigard neighborhood with HOA rules for front yards. Can I install artificial turf in front?

Many Tigard HOAs do allow front-yard artificial turf, but they often specify color (usually a natural green), maximum pile height, and how much of the front yard can be turf versus landscape or hardscape. We help you prepare a submittal with photos, product specs and samples so you know what your HOA will approve before we install. HOA approval is your responsibility, not ours, but we'll make the process clear. Check your HOA covenants and the City of Tigard website for any local rules that might apply, then call us at (971) 290-6089 to start the conversation.

What goes under artificial turf, and why does it matter?

The base is critical. We remove the old lawn or turf, grade the soil to fix drainage and slope, then lay 4 to 6 inches of compacted recycled asphalt or crushed rock. This base allows water to drain freely so the turf doesn't sit on wet soil, which causes mold, odor and premature wear. In Tigard's heavy clay soil, a solid base prevents water from pooling and keeps the turf firm year-round. We compact the base with a plate compactor and check the slope so water sheds away from your house and any neighboring properties. A shallow or poorly compacted base is a common mistake that leads to seam lifting and odor problems later.

Are you insured for the work you do at Tigard properties?

Yes, we are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We carry certificates of insurance naming both coverages, and we're happy to provide proof before we start work on your property.

What's the best time of year to install artificial turf in Tigard?

Spring through early fall (April to September) is ideal because the weather is dry and the ground is firm, making base prep and compaction easier. Summer is our busiest season because homeowners want the turf ready for pool season and entertaining. Fall is also good because the rain hasn't started yet and the work is done before the wet season. We can install turf in winter or early spring, but wet soil takes longer to prepare and compaction is trickier. If you're planning a larger project or a pool surround, book early in the season so we can fit you in.
