Artificial turf in Ridglea & Ridglea Hills.

About Ridglea.

Ridglea and Ridglea Hills are neighboring west Fort Worth communities built up in the post-war mid-century era. Streets wind with the topography instead of against it, which means every yard has its own grade to deal with. Some slope down to the street. Some terrace into side yards. Almost all of them drain through instead of around, and when a heavy rain hits, the hills decide where the water ends up.

This is where a lot of turf companies cut corners. A flat yard in a flat subdivision is a template install. A sloped Ridglea yard is an engineering problem. The base has to be cut in with the grade. Drainage channels have to follow the natural water path. Seams have to run with the slope, not across it. Get it right and you have a yard that does not pool, does not wash out, and does not turn into a mud run when spring storms come through.

Common installs here.

• Drainage-first residential turf for yards where grass has given up on the steep side.
• Pet turf on side yards and terraces so dogs stop tearing up grass that never fills back in.
• Backyard putting greens built into the grade, using the slope instead of fighting it.
• Terraced pet runs and play areas where a natural lawn would wash out in a single storm.

How we install on a slope.

We start with the water. Every Ridglea install begins with a grade walk to see where rain currently goes and where it needs to go. We then cut a compacted aggregate base that follows the slope with the right cross-fall so runoff tracks through the turf without washing infill or undermining the edges. When the install is finished, the yard drains like a well-designed garden, not a patched-up lawn.
