The Hammocks is a tight-knit West Kendall community of 1980s and 1990s townhomes and family homes built around lakes, where most backyards are modest, fenced, and shared between kids, dogs, and the relentless Miami sun. Miami Turf Installation has been serving The Hammocks and the surrounding Miami area since 2013, installing artificial grass that holds up to daily use and drains fast when the summer thunderstorms roll in.

Homeowners in The Hammocks (33196) call us because small yards need turf that works hard. A real lawn thins out in the shade cast by royal palms and banyans, chinch bugs chew through St. Augustine in the heat, and a muddy dog run or a worn play area can take over a yard in weeks. We install turf that drains, stays green, and handles the traffic without the chemicals or the constant mowing.

Artificial Grass Installation in The Hammocks (33196)

The Hammocks sits on sand and porous limerock, which is good for drainage if the base is built right. Most yards here are small and fenced with stucco block or aluminum picket, and they see heavy use. Dogs run the perimeter, kids play in the middle, and in summer the rain comes hard and fast. We size the base depth and infill to handle that water without pooling, and we choose turf products with a face weight and pile height that stand up to traffic without matting down or looking thin after a season.

Many homes in The Hammocks have HOA rules that govern front-yard turf. We help with submittals and know what the architectural committees here typically approve, but we also tell you straight if your choice might face pushback. For backyards and dog runs, you have the freedom to choose the product, color, and pile that works best for your family and your pets.

We have been installing turf in The Hammocks and across Miami since 2013. We know the soil, the heat, the drainage patterns, and the yards. We write out the turf spec (face weight, pile height, infill type and pounds per square foot, base depth and compaction) before we start, so you know exactly what you are getting.

How a Job Works in The Hammocks

Step 1: Call us at (786) 744-5371 or reach out online, and we come to your yard for a free on-site assessment. We look at the size, the sun and shade, the drainage, any existing turf or lawn that has to come out, and how we can get rolls and equipment into your backyard. In The Hammocks, many yards have tight side-yard access, so we plan the delivery and the work route early.

Step 2: We quote you a price based on square footage, the turf product you choose, the infill, the base depth, and any removal or prep work needed. If your yard has an old lawn that is dead or an old turf with seams that are lifting, we remove it first and grade the base properly. We request a Florida 811 utility locate before any digging, and we work around any irrigation lines, low-voltage lighting, or pet-fence wires that are already there. We compact the base to the depth the turf needs, lay the turf, and secure the seams and edges.

Step 3: We do a final walkthrough with you, clean up all scraps and debris, and leave your yard ready to use. We show you how to rinse the turf in the heat and how to keep it clean. If you have a dog, we cover pet odor treatment and drainage so you do not end up with a muddy or smelly spot.

Artificial grass installation in The Hammocks runs from $8 per square foot for basic residential turf on a simple, flat yard, up to $10 to $15 per square foot for pet turf, putting greens, or yards that need extra base depth or drainage work. A typical 400 square foot backyard (a common size for Hammocks townhomes) ranges from $3,200 to $6,000 depending on the product and what is already there. A 1,000 square foot yard runs $8,000 to $15,000. The biggest cost factors are the turf product itself (face weight and pile height), the infill type, how deep the base needs to be, whether we have to remove an old lawn or turf, and how tight the access is. If you need seam repair, turf cleaning, pet odor treatment, or removal only, we price those separately. Call us at (786) 744-5371 for a free on-site estimate, and we will give you a realistic range and a written spec before you commit to anything.

My backyard in The Hammocks is small and gets full sun in the afternoon. Will artificial grass get too hot for my kids and dog to use?

Yes, artificial turf in full Miami sun can get hot, especially in the afternoon. The surface can reach 150 degrees Fahrenheit or higher. The honest fixes are: choose a lighter-colored turf or a heat-rated product, add shade with a pergola or sail, rinse the turf with a hose before use on the hottest days, and use a cooling infill designed to absorb and release heat more slowly. We can help you pick a turf product that holds up better in direct sun and explain which infills work best for heat management. Call (786) 744-5371 to talk through your yard's sun exposure.

Do I need HOA approval before I install artificial grass in my front yard in The Hammocks?

Most homes in The Hammocks have HOA architectural rules that govern front-yard turf. The HOA typically sets limits on color, pile height, edge treatment, and how much of the yard you can cover. We can help you prepare a submittal with photos and specs, but we cannot promise approval. The HOA committee makes the final call. For backyards and side yards, HOA rules usually do not apply. Check your HOA documents or contact your architectural review board, and call us at (786) 744-5371 so we can align our proposal with what your HOA is likely to accept.

What is the cost range for a 500 square foot dog run or pet turf area in The Hammocks?

Pet turf in The Hammocks starts at $10 per square foot, so a 500 square foot dog run would run roughly $5,000 to $6,500 depending on the turf product, the infill, drainage needs, and any removal of an old lawn or turf. Pet turf needs a base that drains fast and an infill that resists odor and holds up to digging and constant traffic. We often recommend a thicker base and a higher-quality turf face weight for dog areas. The price also depends on how tight the access is and whether we have to remove an old surface first. Call (786) 744-5371 for a free estimate tailored to your yard.

What goes under artificial grass, and how does it drain in The Hammocks?

The base is the foundation. We excavate the yard to remove old turf or lawn, grade it level or slope it slightly for drainage, and then lay down a compacted base layer, usually recycled asphalt or crushed limestone, 4 to 6 inches deep depending on the soil and the turf product. The Hammocks sits on sand and porous limerock, which drains well, but we still build a proper base so the turf does not settle, puddle, or develop soft spots. On top of the base, we lay landscape fabric to separate the turf from the base, then roll out the turf, secure the seams and edges, and add infill (usually silica sand, rubber, or a blend) to weight the turf and fill the gaps in the pile. The infill also helps with drainage and odor control, especially in a dog run. We request a Florida 811 utility locate before any digging to avoid hitting irrigation lines or other private utilities.

My lawn in The Hammocks died or turned to dust. Can artificial grass be installed over bare dirt, or does it need a base?

Artificial grass always needs a proper compacted base, never bare dirt. Bare dirt will settle, shift, and create soft spots and puddles under the turf within weeks. We remove the dead lawn or the dust, grade the yard, lay down a compacted base 4 to 6 inches deep, and then install the turf on top. Skipping the base is how you end up with seams that lift, turf that moves underfoot, and drainage problems. We build the base right so the turf stays flat and stable for years.

Are you fully insured to work at my property in The Hammocks?

Yes, we are fully insured with general liability and workers' compensation coverage. We carry the insurance your property and your peace of mind require. Before we start any job, we can provide a certificate of insurance naming both coverages.

What is the best time of year to install artificial grass in The Hammocks?

The best time is late fall through early spring, roughly October through April, when the heat and humidity are lower and the summer thunderstorms have passed. Work is easier, the turf cures better, and you avoid the peak heat and rain. That said, we install turf year-round in The Hammocks. Summer is hotter and wetter, but if you need the work done before a move-in, a sale, or an event, we can schedule it. Just know that summer rain is heavy and frequent, so we plan drainage and base compaction carefully. Call (786) 744-5371 to discuss the best timing for your job.
