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.

How Our Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design Process Works
Step 1Landscape concept design
A combined plan balances turf areas with drought-tolerant plantings and hardscape.
Step 2Zone mapping
Different landscape zones are mapped out for turf, rock, and plant placement.
Step 3Soil and rock prep
Soil is prepared differently for turf zones versus xeriscape planting beds.
Step 4Turf section installation
Turf is installed in designated zones according to the overall design plan.
Step 5Plant bed integration
Drought-tolerant plants and rock features are added to complement turf areas.
Step 6Design finishing touches
Borders and transitions are refined for a cohesive landscape appearance.
Materials
Materials and Methods for Xeriscape + Turf Combo Design

Mixed-zone turf fibers
Turf suited for partial-shade and open-sun zones within a combined desert yard layout.

Decorative rock borders
Rock materials define clean boundaries between turf and planting areas.

Drought-tolerant plant stock
Low-water plants complement turf sections visually without adding to the water bill.

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

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

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

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.
