Our Install Process

Fifteen stages. Every one with a QA checkpoint and a photo.

This is our field manual, written for you instead of the crew. Nothing here is proprietary — it's just the work done in the right order, checked before we move on, and documented so you can see it. A good turf job is 80% base and sequence. If a contractor can't walk you through their process, that's your answer.

Every checkpoint is photographed. Before we cover a lift, close a seam, or call a stage done, we photograph it. You get a documented record — subgrade, geotextile, each base lift, compaction, seams, and the drainage flush test. If it isn't in the photo log, it isn't done.
Colorado-specific: verify locally first. HOA covenants, permit needs, irrigation-cap rules, and water-rebate programs vary by jurisdiction and community. We flag these during assessment, but you should confirm your own HOA and city rules before signing. We won't install something that puts you offside.
The full sequence

Assessment to handoff, in order.

Tap any stage to open its detail and QA checkpoint. Stages are ordered because the order matters — skip drainage grading before compaction and you've bought yourself a callback.

What "QA checkpoint" actually means

A checkpoint is a stop, not a slogan.

At each checkpoint the lead crew member verifies a specific, physical condition — a plate-compactor pass, a slope reading, a seam pulled tight, water running where it should — and photographs it. We don't proceed until it passes. If something fails, we fix it at that stage, when it's cheap, instead of burying it under turf where it becomes an expensive redo.

Every layer above corresponds to one or more stages below. The build is only as good as the checkpoint under it.
