Playgrounds and sports surfaces for Calera organizations

- Poured-in-place rubber and playground mulch

Artificial grass for Calera homes
Many Calera homes sit on larger lots, so we often turf a defined zone, such as a play area, pet run, putting green or pool surround, instead of the whole yard. Whatever the size of your Calera yard, every install starts with demo, full excavation and a fully compacted, permeable 1/2-inch grade aggregate base.
- Artificial lawns for front and back yards
- Putting greens and backyard sports
- Pet turf with 100% permeable backing
Planning for Calera weather and soil
Local conditions shape how we build. Here is what we plan for in Calera.
Average yearly rain near Calera. Heavy summer storms are common, so we grade every base to move water through and away.
Turf heats up in full sun. For playgrounds and pet areas we go over shade, infill and turf options with you.
Red clay subgrade, buried rock during excavation and sloped lots are common here. We grade for positive drainage before the base goes in.

Questions from Calera customers
Do you install artificial turf in Calera?
Yes. Calera is about 10 road miles from our Alabaster base, and we offer free on-site quotes for commercial and residential projects throughout Shelby County.
How do you handle red clay and rock in Calera?
Red clay subgrade, buried rock during excavation and sloped lots are common here. We grade for positive drainage before the base goes in. Every base is 1/2-inch grade aggregate, fully compacted and permeable, never bank sand or fillers.
Does artificial turf get too hot in Calera summers?
It can. July highs average around 91°F in the Birmingham area, and turf in full sun gets much hotter than grass. For play areas we talk through shade, infill and turf options, and we are honest about what each one does.
Can you work with Shelby County Schools or other schools in Calera?
Yes. We install playground turf, PIP rubber, mulch and athletic surfaces for public and private schools, and we can schedule around school breaks.
What warranties do you offer?
A 15-year manufacturer warranty on the turf, a 10-year edge and seam warranty and a 5-year installation labor warranty.
