Mission sits in the heart of citrus country, west of McAllen, where Sharyland's gated golf communities and resort neighborhoods back up against flat, clay-heavy land that floods after summer storms and bakes hard in the 100-degree heat. If your yard has turned to dust, your dog area smells like mud, or you need a putting green or pool surround that actually works in this climate, McAllen Turf Installation has been doing this work in Mission and the surrounding valley since 2013.
Homeowners in Mission call us because we know the soil, the drainage problems, and the HOA front-yard rules that govern so many of the homes around Sharyland and in the newer subdivisions. We name the turf product, the face weight, the infill, and the base depth in writing, and we fix drainage problems before we lay a single roll.
Artificial Grass Installation in Mission (78572)
Mission's yards face real challenges. The black clay soil under most homes drains slowly and ponds after the late-summer thunderstorms that roll up from the Gulf. Direct sun exposure in the summer pushes surface temperatures into the high 140s, and the constant southeast breeze dries out natural grass fast. Many Mission homeowners are caught between a lawn that dies or turns to dust and a yard that has to look good year-round, especially if you have a pool, a putting green at the back of your property, or a dog area that needs to handle the heat and humidity without turning into a mud pit.
Add HOA rules to the mix. Front yards in many Mission neighborhoods are governed by architectural guidelines on turf color, pile height, and edging. We help homeowners prepare submittals for HOA approval and work within those rules, but we never promise approval. In your backyard, you have more freedom, and that is where we do most of our work in Mission: residential yards, pet turf and dog runs, pool surrounds, putting greens, and patios. Our team has served Mission, Sharyland, McAllen, and the surrounding valley for over a decade, and we know how to build a base that handles the clay, the heat, and the rain.

How a Job Works in Mission
First, we come out to your property in Mission (78572) and look at what you have now, how the water drains, where the sun hits, and what you want to do with the space. We measure, ask questions about foot traffic and pets, and talk through the turf product and base depth that will actually work for you. That visit is free, and we give you a clear estimate before we commit to anything.
Once you are ready, we get to work. If there is an old lawn or old turf in the way, we remove it and haul it out. We then grade the yard and address any drainage problems, because laying turf on top of a wet or poorly draining base is how you end up with lifting seams and a yard that smells. We call for a Texas 811 utility locate before we excavate, and we build a compacted base of recycled asphalt or crushed stone, typically 2 to 3 inches deep depending on the site. We then roll out the turf, cut it to fit tight against walls and fences, and seam it so the seams are tight and invisible. Cleanup is thorough, and we walk you through what you are looking at before we leave.
Pricing for artificial grass in Mission depends on the area, the turf product you choose, the infill type, the base depth, and whether we are removing an old lawn or turf first. Residential turf starts at $8 per square foot, pet turf at $10 per square foot, putting greens at $15 per square foot, and pool surround turf at $9 per square foot. A typical 400 square foot backyard might run $3,200 to $4,000 installed with a good mid-range turf and a proper base. A 1,000 square foot yard could be $8,000 to $12,000 depending on product and site conditions. Removal of old turf or lawn runs from $2 per square foot. The cost factors that matter most are the size of the area, the turf face weight and pile height you pick, the infill (silica sand, crumb rubber, or a hybrid), the depth and compaction of the base, and any grading or drainage work the site needs. We give you a free estimate at (956) 468-3506 so you know exactly what you are paying for before we start.
