Paver & Turf Installation

The Best of Both Worlds

Artificial grass looks great on its own, but combining it with decorative pavers creates stunning outdoor spaces that stand out from typical lawns. This design approach gives you defined pathways, visual interest, and functional zones while keeping maintenance to a minimum. Whether you're designing a new landscape or upgrading an existing one, paver and turf combinations offer nearly unlimited creative possibilities.

We design and install integrated paver and turf landscapes throughout Bloomington that blend beauty with practicality. These installations work beautifully for front yards, backyards, side yards, patios, pool decks, and commercial properties. The combination creates texture and dimension that you simply can't achieve with grass alone.

Design Possibilities That Wow

The real magic of paver and turf installations is the design flexibility. Here are some popular ways Bloomington homeowners and businesses use this combination:

• Stepping Stone Pathways - Individual pavers set into turf create natural walkways through your yard
• Geometric Patterns - Square or rectangular paver sections alternating with turf panels for a modern look
• Border Accents - Paver edging around turf areas that defines spaces and adds curb appeal
• Patio Extensions - Blend your paver patio into turf areas for seamless indoor-outdoor flow
• Driveway Strips - Turf between paver tire tracks for eco-friendly permeable driveways
• Pool Surrounds - Combine slip-resistant pavers with comfortable turf lounging areas

We work with various paver materials including natural stone, concrete pavers, porcelain tiles, and permeable pavers. Each material offers different textures, colors, and price points. During your consultation, we'll show you samples and help you choose options that match your home's architecture and your personal style.

Installation That Lasts

Combining pavers and turf requires careful planning and precise installation. The two materials need different base preparations, but they must integrate seamlessly at the transitions. This is where professional expertise makes a huge difference between a project that looks great for years and one that starts failing within months.

Our installation process includes proper excavation, compacted base layers specific to each material, edge restraints to prevent shifting, and precise grading for drainage. The goal is a unified surface where pavers and turf work together rather than fighting each other. We pay special attention to transitions so you don't feel bumps or edges when walking between materials.

Many clients combine paver and turf installations with other residential landscaping upgrades, creating complete outdoor transformations. We can incorporate outdoor lighting, irrigation for plant beds, retaining walls, and other hardscape features as part of a comprehensive design.

Low Maintenance, High Impact

One of the biggest advantages of combining pavers with artificial turf is the minimal ongoing maintenance. Traditional landscaping with natural grass, mulch beds, and stone pathways requires constant attention. Grass needs mowing, mulch needs replacing, weeds grow between stones. With paver and turf installations, your maintenance drops to almost nothing.

The turf needs occasional brushing and rinsing. Pavers might need periodic sweeping. That's basically it. No mowing, no edging, no mulch replacement, no weed control. You get back hours every month that you'd otherwise spend on yard work, while your landscape continues looking pristine year-round.

This low-maintenance benefit makes paver and turf combinations especially popular for commercial properties, rental homes, and busy families who want beautiful outdoor spaces without the ongoing time commitment. The consistent appearance also helps with property values and curb appeal.
