Serving Goodyear and nearby communities.

Cutting the water bill doesn't have to mean an all-rock yard. A combined xeriscape and turf design gives you a usable lawn area plus low-water planting beds, which fits the push toward low-water landscaping across Goodyear and the wider Maricopa County desert climate. Goodyear Artificial Turf Pros plans these projects as one cohesive layout, not turf and rock installed separately by two different crews.

We map out turf zones and planting zones together up front so the transitions look intentional instead of patched together.

How it works

How Our Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design Process Works

  1. Landscape concept design photo
    Step 1

    Landscape concept design

    We build a combined plan balancing turf, drought-tolerant plants, and hardscape.

  2. Zone mapping photo
    Step 2

    Zone mapping

    Different zones get mapped out for turf, rock, and plant placement before any work starts.

  3. Soil and rock prep photo
    Step 3

    Soil and rock prep

    Soil gets prepared differently for turf zones than for planting beds.

  4. Turf section installation photo
    Step 4

    Turf section installation

    Turf goes in across the zones designated in the plan.

  5. Plant bed integration photo
    Step 5

    Plant bed integration

    Drought-tolerant plants and rock features are added to complement the turf areas.

  • Mixed-zone turf fibers photo

    Mixed-zone turf fibers

    Turf suited for both shaded and full-sun zones within a combined layout.

  • Decorative rock borders photo

    Decorative rock borders

    Rock materials define clean boundaries between turf and planting areas.

  • Drought-tolerant plant stock photo

    Drought-tolerant plant stock

    Low-water plants selected to pair visually with turf sections.

  • Permeable paver accents photo

    Permeable paver accents

    Pavers let water through while adding visual contrast against turf zones.

  • Mulch ground cover photo

    Mulch ground cover

    Mulch cuts evaporation in planted areas next to turf, useful through long Goodyear summers.

  • Edge transition strips photo

    Edge transition strips

    Strips keep a clean separation between turf and xeriscape materials so edges don't blur over time.

FAQs

Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design FAQs

Will a turf and xeriscape combo lower my water bill in Goodyear?

Generally more than turf alone since the planting beds also use low-water species instead of traditional landscaping that needs regular irrigation.

Can turf be installed next to rock and plant beds without looking patched together?

That's really the point of planning it as one design. When zones are mapped out together from the start, the transitions look intentional instead of like two separate projects.

Do I need irrigation for the plant beds if I still have turf?

Drought-tolerant plants typically need far less water than turf did, so a simple drip system is often enough. We can tie that in during install if needed.

How much more does a combo design cost than turf alone?

It depends on how much of the yard goes to planting beds versus turf. We'll give you a scoped estimate based on the zone breakdown you want.

Is DIY xeriscape and turf combo design realistic?

Getting drainage and grade right where turf meets rock and plant beds takes some layout experience. Poor transitions there often lead to erosion or pooling water along the borders.

Do I need a permit for a combined turf and xeriscape project?

Usually not for the turf or plant beds themselves. If you're altering irrigation lines significantly, check with the city first.
