Hillcrest Project Highlight
A resident wanted a drought-resistant dog run off Fifth Avenue. We installed pet-safe turf with antimicrobial infill and surround-sound rock walls that buffer street noise. The space is now a favorite for evening gatherings and neighborhood barbecues.

Hillcrest’s Premier Turf & Hardscape Solutions FAQ
Is synthetic turf safe for pets?
Yes. Our pet-friendly turf uses non-toxic, antimicrobial infill granules that resist odor, inhibit bacterial growth, and dry quickly. It’s soft underfoot, easy to clean, and built to handle playful paws without tearing.
Can you install ADA-compliant pathways?
Absolutely. We use slip-resistant, smooth-finish pavers set level to ensure a stable, even surface that meets ADA slope and width requirements, making outdoor areas accessible to wheelchairs, walkers, and strollers.
How long does a typical backyard installation take?
Most residential turf and hardscape projects in Hillcrest take between three and five business days—from grading and base prep through turf laying and paver setting—weather permitting and depending on project complexity.
