Design + measure
We measure the area, note trees, drains and easements on your survey, and choose turf and infill with you on your Plantation property.
Broward County artificial turf installer
Artificial turf in Plantation.
Plantation has a detailed synthetic turf code that covers everything from base depth to setbacks and tree protection. We design to it, prepare the Engineering permit, and install the turf.

Built for Plantation
Turf planned around Plantation’s trees.
Plantation’s mature canopy is one of the reasons people live here, and it’s also the biggest constraint on turf. The City requires a dripline plan from an ISA Certified Arborist where the base would come near tree roots, and we plan the turf area around that from day one.
New construction is different. On the Plantation new build shown here, we designed the concrete, turf joints and a backyard pickleball court together, so drainage, setbacks and the turf base were planned before any concrete was poured.

Plantation turf rules
What Plantation and the state ask for.
We’re a State of Florida Certified General Contractor (CGC1527850). We check the rules for your lot, prepare any permit, and schedule inspections. Here’s what applies:
- Plantation’s code (Sec. 27-298) requires an Engineering permit for turf, unless it’s part of a pool or patio building permit. Very small jobs can be exempt: under 50 square feet, under $1,500, and placed as the code describes.
- The code calls for a porous crushed-rock base at least 4 inches deep, permeable and lead-free turf, and a five-foot setback from side and rear property lines.
- Turf isn’t allowed over drainage, lake, canal, landscape or utility easements, in the public right-of-way, or pinned behind a seawall.
- Where the base would come near trees, the City requires a dripline encroachment plan from an ISA Certified Arborist.
- The application includes a landscape plan with turf square footage, irrigation details, product specs, a scaled cross section, and a survey with an affidavit.
- Since May 19, 2026, Florida Rule 62-308.100 sets minimum standards for synthetic turf on single-family lots of 1 acre or less. Under section 125.572, Florida Statutes, a city can’t ban turf on those lots that meets the standards, but it can still regulate drainage and environmental impacts.
- The state standards keep turf out of swales, ditches and stormwater ponds, out of tree drip lines unless a certified arborist approves, and away from lakes and canals, and they don’t allow in-ground irrigation of turf areas.

Turf rules changed in 2026 and cities are still updating their codes, so we confirm the current requirements with the city before every job. This is general information, not legal advice.
Artificial turf options in Plantation
Pick the look. We build the base that drains.
Turf fails from the bottom up. Every install gets a porous rock base, proper slope, anchored edges and seams you can’t see.

How a Plantation turf job gets built
Four steps from layout to finished lawn.
The base in step three decides whether the turf drains after a summer storm, so we don’t rush it.
Permit + approvals
We prepare the Plantation turf or landscaping permit and any HOA submittal, and schedule the install once approved.
Remove + base
We remove sod and roots, cap sprinkler heads in turf areas, set edging, and compact a washed, porous rock base without sealing the soil below.
Lay, seam + infill
We roll out and seam the turf, anchor every edge, brush in the infill, and walk the finished area with you.

Plantation turf questions
What Plantation homeowners ask first.
Clear answers before you get quotes.
Do I need a permit for artificial turf in Plantation?+
Usually, yes. The City requires an Engineering permit, or includes turf in a pool or patio building permit. Only very small installations under 50 square feet and $1,500 that meet the placement rules are exempt.
My yard has big oaks. Can I still have turf?+
Yes, with planning. Plantation requires an arborist’s dripline plan where the base comes near roots, and the state standards keep turf out of drip lines unless an arborist approves. We often use mulch beds or ground cover under the canopy and turf in the open areas.
How deep is the base under Plantation turf?+
Plantation’s code requires at least 4 inches of porous crushed rock, more than many nearby cities. We build to that depth and show it on the permit cross section.
Can I put turf inlays in my Plantation driveway?+
Plantation’s code allows small turf inlays in a driveway pattern, but not in the public right-of-way or the driveway apron. We stop the pattern at the property line.
