Kreative Gardens
This proposal covers the complete renovation of approximately 3,300 square feet of the lower hillside landscape at 7560 Royal View Ln, Oak Hills, CA 92344. The project area consists of two large sloped sections bounded primarily by the existing concrete stairs, upper walls, and lower retaining walls, together with an exposed side transition near the dirt driveway leading toward the metal building.
For proposal purposes, this project is specified with Verdant Field 105, a premium residential artificial grass with an approximately 2-inch pile height, 78 oz face weight, and approximately 105 oz total weight. It uses a polyurethane finish coating, four-tone coloration, and carries the applicable 16-year manufacturer warranty, subject to the manufacturer's written terms and exclusions.
Monica may choose any artificial-grass model currently offered by Kreative Gardens at the same quoted project price, subject to product availability at the time of ordering. The final product specifications, pile height, total weight, drainage characteristics, texture, and appearance will depend on the model selected. Verdant Field 105 is being used as the reference model because it represents the premium 2-inch, 100+ oz class requested for this proposal.
This is not a conventional flat-yard turf installation. The project area has a pronounced continuous slope, which increases the importance of accurate grading, base placement, compaction, anchoring, and perimeter control. On a hillside, the finished turf system must resist gravity-driven movement while the aggregate foundation must remain stable and uniformly compacted.
Kreative Gardens will reshape obvious irregularities within the approved project footprint while generally preserving the existing slope and established drainage direction. The work will be performed in controlled sections so the base can be placed, moisture-conditioned as needed, mechanically compacted, and checked before the turf is installed. The intent is to produce a smooth, consistent finished plane rather than simply covering the existing soil profile.
The approved turf areas will be excavated as required to establish the proper finished elevation and make room for the artificial-turf foundation. Work includes removal and hauling of excavated soil and normal landscape debris generated by the project.
A commercial-grade weed barrier will be installed over the prepared soil, followed by approximately 2.5 to 3 inches of recycled Class II road base, adjusted as reasonably necessary for existing elevations and field conditions. The Class II base will be graded and mechanically compacted to create a firm, uniform foundation for the turf. Particular attention will be given to the sloped areas, where base consistency and compaction are critical to long-term appearance and performance.
Because of the steep grade, Kreative Gardens will install a concealed ground-contact treated-lumber nailer / anchor board along the upper portion of the turf installation where required. This board is structural rather than decorative and will be buried below the finished turf edge.
Its purpose is to provide a substantial, continuous anchoring point at the high side of the slope. Artificial turf on a steep grade is subject to persistent downhill loading from gravity, foot traffic, thermal movement, and the weight of the turf and infill. Anchoring the turf securely at the upper elevation helps prevent gradual downhill creep, relaxation, edge movement, and the development of wrinkles or tension loss. The board will not be left as an exposed landscape border.
Where the project is already enclosed by the existing concrete stairs, upper walls, and lower retaining walls, those permanent hardscape elements will serve as the visible finished boundaries. Turf will be carefully fitted and secured at these transitions rather than unnecessarily introducing exposed lumber around the perimeter.
At the exposed side of the project adjacent to the dirt driveway leading toward the metal shop / garage, there is no substantial existing hard edge against which the turf can terminate. A conventional exposed 2×4 landscape border is not the preferred solution at this location because the combination of slope, open soil, potential erosion, and nearby vehicle/equipment traffic can allow a light landscape edge to shift, become undermined, or lose alignment over time.
Kreative Gardens will therefore construct approximately 22 linear feet of reinforced concrete turf header at this transition. The header is planned at approximately 6 inches wide × 8 inches deep, reinforced with continuous steel rebar and installed over a properly prepared foundation. Final width, depth, elevation, and tie-in details may be field-adjusted slightly to accommodate actual soil and grade conditions while maintaining the structural intent of the border.
The concrete header will create a durable, permanent termination for the turf, help separate the landscaped slope from the dirt driveway, provide a stable fastening edge, and reduce the likelihood of the turf perimeter being undermined by erosion or disturbed by adjacent traffic.
The project includes removal of the existing irrigation components located within the approved 3,300-square-foot turf area. Accessible sprinkler heads, risers, and irrigation piping that conflict with the new turf installation will be removed as required, and affected lines will be terminated or capped at practical locations within or at the edge of the project area.
This scope is intended to eliminate irrigation components that would remain unnecessarily buried beneath the new artificial turf. It does not include redesign or replacement of irrigation serving landscape areas outside the approved project footprint unless specifically added by written change order.
After the foundation is completed, the turf will be laid out to optimize appearance, roll direction, seam placement, and material use. Pieces will be professionally cut and fitted around the stairs, walls, retaining edges, and other permanent features. Seams will be prepared and joined using professional artificial-turf installation methods.
Because this is a hillside installation, fastening will be more extensive than on a typical flat lawn. The turf will be secured at the upper anchor line, hardscape transitions, perimeter, and throughout the installation as required by field conditions. Fastener placement will be adjusted to the slope, roll layout, seam locations, and areas of concentrated tension rather than treated as a generic flat-yard fastening pattern.
The new turf will receive the appropriate infill for the selected grass model and application. After infill distribution, the turf will be power brushed to help raise the fibers, distribute the infill, improve blade presentation, and produce an even finished appearance. The work area will then receive final detailing and cleanup.
As part of this project, Kreative Gardens will power brush the existing artificial turf located immediately adjacent to the new installation at no additional charge. This complimentary service is intended to lift and refresh the existing fibers so the older turf presents as well as reasonably possible next to the newly installed areas.
The existing turf appears to be a lighter-density product with less fiber mass than the premium turf specified for the new installation. Power brushing can improve its presentation, but it cannot increase pile density, restore missing fiber volume, or change the underlying product construction.
Once the new premium turf is installed, Monica may notice a visible difference in density, softness, blade recovery, and overall fullness between the new and existing areas. If she decides in the future that she would like a more consistent appearance throughout the property, Kreative Gardens can prepare a separate replacement proposal for the existing turf area using the same or a coordinating premium model.
The complimentary brushing does not include repair, re-seaming, replacement, additional infill, stain removal, or restoration of worn or permanently flattened fibers unless separately authorized.
This all-inclusive price covers everything required for a professional and lasting installation — from premium materials and delivery to expert labor, site preparation, and final cleanup. We handle the entire process so you don’t have to coordinate with multiple contractors or worry about hidden fees. What you see is what you pay.
Clients who choose to pay in full at the time of approval enjoy a reduced total. This offer reflects the savings we pass along by avoiding third-party financing and administrative fees — while still delivering the same high-quality results.
