Star is growing fast, and so are the yards. New family subdivisions on former farmland mean young backyards with silty soil, open sun exposure, and plenty of room for kids and dogs to play. Boise Turf Installation has been serving Star (ZIP 83669) and the surrounding Boise area since 2013, turning dusty yards and worn-out lawns into green spaces that work year-round.
Star homeowners call us when a new lawn needs to handle the Treasure Valley heat and freeze-thaw winters, when a dog area is turning to mud and smells, or when a backyard has to be ready fast for a family move-in or a summer gathering. We know the silty soil under Star yards, the drainage challenges on the benches, and the HOA front-yard rules that govern many of the newer subdivisions. Our team brings written specs, honest guidance, and local experience to every job.
Artificial Grass Installation in Star (83669)
Star's newer subdivisions sit on silty soil over caliche hardpan, which means good drainage is not automatic. Backyards get full summer sun and can reach 100 degrees dry heat, and many properties have HOA architectural rules that govern front-yard turf color, pile height, and how much of the yard can be covered. Dogs and kids are heavy users in these young yards, and many Star families want a low-maintenance play surface or pet area that does not turn to mud in spring or dust in summer.
Our team installs residential turf, pet turf and dog runs, putting greens, pool surrounds, patios, and repair work. We source quality turf products with written specs for face weight, pile height, and infill type, and we size the base depth to match the job and the soil. We handle HOA submittals for front-yard work, we coordinate with local utilities before we dig, and we remove old turf or lawn if that is what the yard needs. We have been serving Star and the Boise area for over a decade, and we know how to build a turf installation that lasts through the local weather.

How a Job Works in Star
We start with a free on-site assessment. You tell us what the yard needs, and we walk the property, measure the area, check the soil and drainage, and talk through the turf product, infill, and base depth that will work best. If your front yard is subject to HOA rules, we explain what the rules allow and help you prepare an HOA submittal if needed. We never promise approval, but we know what the local subdivisions typically require.
The installation itself begins with site prep. If there is old turf or lawn, we remove it. We grade the yard for proper drainage, order base material (crushed rock or recycled asphalt), and compact it to the depth the job requires. We request Idaho 811 utility locates before we excavate, because irrigation lines, low-voltage lighting, and pet-fence wires are private and do not show up on the locate. We then lay the turf rolls, cut and seam them carefully, and install infill (sand, crumb, or a blend) to the correct weight. Our team works clean and leaves your property ready to use.
Final walkthrough: we show you how the turf drains, we explain any maintenance tips, and we answer your questions. You get a written record of the product, face weight, pile height, infill type, and base depth so you know exactly what was installed.
Residential artificial grass in Star typically runs from $8 to $12 per square foot, depending on the turf product, infill type, and base depth. Pet turf and dog runs are usually $10 to $14 per square foot because they need a more durable product and sometimes extra drainage. Putting greens start at $15 per square foot. Pool surrounds and patios run $9 to $12 per square foot. Removal of old turf or lawn is $2 to $4 per square foot. For a typical 400 square foot backyard, budget $3,200 to $4,800 for residential turf installed. A 1,000 square foot yard runs $8,000 to $12,000. The final price depends on the area size, the turf product you choose, the infill, the base depth, what has to be removed first, and how easy our crew can access the site with rolls and a plate compactor. Call us at (208) 567-4498 for a free estimate. We measure on site, give you a written spec, and price the job honestly.
