Choice One Landscape installs artificial turf in Modesto under CSLB #795016. Turf is a system rather than a product: the base and drainage under it, the infill in it, and the edges holding it decide how it looks and drains in year five. The written proposal names the specific turf, base section, infill and edge detail for the project.

Drainage and Base Under Modesto Turf
Water has to leave. Base type and depth, compaction, any separation layer, and the route runoff takes to an approved outlet should all be specified before installation, and they depend on the subgrade actually present.
Finished elevations need to work with the house, hardscape, adjacent paving and low points. Turf set too high at a doorway or too low against a patio creates problems that are expensive to correct later.
Pet areas are planned differently from a decorative lawn. Infill selection, base permeability, rinse access and maintenance expectations should be discussed before the product is chosen.
- Base type, depth and compaction stated in the written proposal
- Drainage route to an approved outlet identified before installation
- Infill selected for the intended use, including pet areas
- Seam placement and edge restraint planned with the layout
- Manufacturer documentation reviewed for warranty and maintenance
Heat, Sun and Reflection
Synthetic turf gets hot in direct Valley sun. Surface temperature depends on the product, infill, colour, exposure, and time of day, and it is worth feeling a sample in the property's real exposure before committing.
Reflected light from low-emissivity window glazing can damage synthetic turf. If the yard has a reflection issue, it should be identified before installation rather than diagnosed afterwards, because the manufacturer's warranty usually will not cover it.
Shade structures, planting, and layout can all change exposure. These belong in the design conversation, not as a fix after the turf is down.
Water Rules, Rebates and Documentation
California water-efficiency rules apply to landscape projects depending on project type, size and whether a permit or plan review is involved. Applicability is confirmed for the specific scope rather than assumed.
Rebate and incentive programs change, and eligibility, funding and documentation requirements are set by the administering agency. Confirm current terms with that agency before counting on a rebate.
Where documentation is required, product information and a dimensioned plan can be prepared for submittal. Approval timing and decisions remain with the reviewing authority.
