Use synthetic turf where the activity calls for it.
A compact Spicewood putting area or pet space should be planned around its intended use rather than treated as a replacement for every living surface. LCRA’s watershed guidance is relevant where base excavation or new drainage falls within its jurisdiction. Confirm the property and scope before assuming a small amenity is exempt from review.
Show the transition to stone, planting and existing ground, and explain how the area will be cleaned and accessed. Discuss seams, containment of base material and the route of runoff. Retained trees need consideration before grading beneath their canopy. Select the size and surface after these details are resolved so the installation feels integrated with the rest of the landscape.
