Plan a clean transition between turf and runoff.
For San Marcos artificial turf, the edge and base deserve as much attention as the surface appearance. Identify where water approaches the proposed area and where it should discharge after installation. The City’s floodplain resources can help establish whether a larger drainage question needs review before a small recreation surface is designed.
Tell us whether the area is intended for pets, putting practice or general gathering. Each use changes the discussion about base preparation, cleanup and adjoining surfaces. Include tree locations and avoid assuming that excavation beneath established trees is harmless. Request clear details for seams, perimeter restraint and access to existing utilities rather than comparing carpet price alone.
