Paver & Turf Installation

Why Combine Pavers With Artificial Grass

Pavers and artificial grass work beautifully together to create outdoor spaces that are both functional and attractive. Pavers give you solid walking surfaces, seating areas, and defined pathways. Artificial grass provides soft green space without the maintenance headaches of natural lawns. Together, they create a complete landscape that looks professional and stays beautiful year round with minimal effort.

This combination is especially popular in Florida where traditional grass struggles and requires constant watering. Instead of fighting to keep natural grass alive around your patio or walkways, you install artificial turf that always looks perfect. The pavers add visual interest and create functional spaces for furniture, grills, and outdoor living. You get the look of a professionally landscaped yard without any of the weekly maintenance.

CornerPeak Poinciana Artificial Grass handles both the hardscaping and the turf installation. Working with one company for the complete project ensures that the pavers and grass are coordinated properly. Elevations match. Drainage flows correctly. The finished design looks intentional and professional rather than like two separate projects that do not quite fit together.

Popular Design Ideas

The possibilities for combining pavers and turf are endless. Here are some of the most popular designs we install in Poinciana:

• •Paver patios surrounded by turf: Install a paver patio for outdoor furniture and surround it with artificial grass instead of mulch or gravel
• •Stepping stone pathways through grass: Create paver walkways that wind through your artificial lawn to connect different areas of your yard
• •Paver borders and edging: Frame your turf areas with paver borders that define spaces and prevent edge wear
• •Checkerboard patterns: Alternate pavers and grass squares for a modern geometric look
• •Pool decks with grass accents: Combine paver pool decks with turf areas where kids can play safely
• •Driveways with turf strips: Install narrow strips of artificial grass between concrete or paver driveway sections

Installation Process

Coordinated Planning

The key to successful paver and turf projects is planning everything together from the start. We design the entire layout showing where pavers will go and where turf will be installed. This lets us plan proper grading so water drains away from your house and does not pool anywhere. It also ensures that paver edges and turf edges meet cleanly without awkward gaps or transitions.

Base preparation happens at the same time for both materials. Pavers need a compacted base just like artificial turf does. We excavate the entire area to the appropriate depth, then build up layers of base materials. The paver areas get extra base depth because pavers are thicker than turf. Everything is graded and leveled together so the finished surfaces are at the correct heights relative to each other.

Installation Sequence

We typically install the pavers first. This gives us solid reference points and defined edges to work against when installing the turf. Pavers are set in sand and the joints are filled. Once the hardscaping is complete and looking perfect, we move on to the turf installation.

The artificial grass gets cut precisely to fit against the paver edges. We use edge restraints where needed to secure the turf and prevent it from separating from the pavers over time. The result is clean lines where grass meets pavers without gaps or overlaps. This attention to detail is what makes professional installations look so much better than DIY projects. The techniques are similar to what we use in putting green installations where precision matters for both appearance and performance.

Benefits of This Design Approach

Low Maintenance Everything

Both pavers and artificial grass are low maintenance materials. You never mow the grass. You never pull weeds from paver joints if we install them properly with polymeric sand. An occasional sweep or rinse keeps everything looking clean. This is perfect for busy families, retirees, or anyone who wants to enjoy their yard instead of constantly working on it.

Florida Weather Resistant

Pavers and turf both handle Florida's weather extremes better than traditional landscaping. Heavy rain drains quickly through permeable pavers and artificial grass rather than creating muddy messes. Hot summer sun does not kill artificial turf like it browns out natural grass. Neither material needs watering, which is important given Florida's water restrictions and the cost of irrigation. Your yard looks great in all seasons without the constant battle against weather conditions.

Increased Home Value

Well-designed outdoor spaces add value to your property. Buyers appreciate low-maintenance landscapes that look professionally done. A beautiful paver patio with artificial grass creates usable outdoor living space that increases the functional square footage of your home. This is one reason why many of our residential artificial grass customers choose to add pavers as part of a complete yard renovation.

Customization Options

Every yard is different and every homeowner has different preferences. Pavers come in countless colors, sizes, shapes, and textures. Artificial grass comes in different shades of green, different pile heights, and different levels of realism. We help you choose combinations that match your home's style and your personal taste. The design flexibility lets us create something unique for your specific property rather than a cookie-cutter solution.
