A full turf yard isn't always the right call. Sometimes a mix of turf zones with gravel and drought-tolerant plants does more for the water bill and the look of the property. Casa Grande Artificial Turf designs combo yards that mix turf where you actually walk and gather with xeriscape zones where you don't.

The hard part isn't the turf or the gravel individually. It's the transition between them. We detail the edging between turf and rock zones so decomposed granite doesn't migrate into your lawn and ruin the surface over time.

What's included

What's Included with Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design

  • Typically included — zone layout design, turf installation in defined areas, decorative rock and edging at transitions, plant bed prep.
  • Optional — drought-tolerant plant sourcing and placement, permeable paver accents between zones.
  • Customer prep — let us know which areas of the yard you actually use so we can zone turf there and xeriscape elsewhere.

How it works

How Our Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design Process Works

  1. Landscape concept design photo
    Step 1

    Landscape concept design

    A combined plan balances turf areas with drought-tolerant plantings and hardscape.

  2. Zone mapping photo
    Step 2

    Zone mapping

    Different landscape zones are mapped out for turf, rock, and plant placement.

  3. Soil and rock prep photo
    Step 3

    Soil and rock prep

    Soil is prepared differently for turf zones versus xeriscape planting beds.

  4. Turf section installation photo
    Step 4

    Turf section installation

    Turf is installed in designated zones according to the overall design plan.

  5. Plant bed integration photo
    Step 5

    Plant bed integration

Materials

Materials and Methods for Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design

  • Mixed-zone turf fibers photo

    Mixed-zone turf fibers

    Turf suited for partial-shade and open-sun zones within a combined desert yard 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 complement turf sections visually without adding to the water bill.

  • Permeable paver accents photo

    Permeable paver accents

    Pavers allow water flow while adding visual contrast against turf zones.

  • Mulch ground cover photo

    Mulch ground cover

    Mulch reduces evaporation in planted areas sitting next to turf under direct sun.

  • Edge transition strips photo

    Edge transition strips

    Strips create clean separation so rock doesn't migrate into the turf fibers over time.

FAQs

Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design FAQs

Is turf cheaper than a full xeriscape yard long term?

A combo approach usually balances cost and usability best: turf where you need a soft usable surface, xeriscape where appearance alone matters.

How much does a xeriscape and turf combo design cost?

Cost depends on the ratio of turf to hardscape and planting work. We quote based on your specific zone layout after a walkthrough.

Will rock migrate into my turf over time?

It can if the transition isn't detailed properly. We use edge strips specifically to prevent that at every turf-to-rock boundary.

Do I need a permit for a xeriscape and turf redesign?

Standard yard redesigns typically don't require a permit. Major grading or drainage changes would be the exception.

Can I convert part of my existing turf yard to add xeriscape zones?

We can retrofit zones into an existing turf lawn, cutting back turf area and adding rock and plant beds where it makes sense.

How much water does a combo yard actually save?

Savings vary by how much of the yard shifts from live plants or grass to turf and rock, but most homeowners see a meaningful drop in irrigation use.
