What people are solving for

A builder front lawn and a backyard left as dirt. The most expensive mistake here is installing one piece before the whole yard has a plan.

How it goes in

What is actually under the dirt gets checked first, because builder backfill settles for years and on some lots the subgrade prep is a bigger line item than the turf. Then the full layout: paved terrace, turf lawn, borders and drainage designed together rather than in phases.

Specification

City
Lehi, UT
Size
1,600 sq ft
Turf
ForeverBlade or CloudLawn depending on whether the lawn is walked barefoot.
Base
Excavation to depth, geotextile over clay subgrade, then a crushed and refined granite base — screened, no oversized rock — laid in lifts and plate-compacted to grade.
Hardscape
Paver terrace, borders, and edge restraint throughout.
Drainage
The crushed and refined granite base stays porous rather than sealing up the way fines-heavy road base does, so water keeps moving down through it instead of pooling.
Typical timeline
5–10 working days
Typical range
$29,000 – $45,000
