Why I Built Lone Star Turf

From construction sites to building trust

I worked in construction for twenty years, starting by sweeping up sawdust when I was barely a teenager. During those years, I had a front-row seat to the excitement of creating something from the ground up, and the struggles of dealing with contractors who didn’t do what they said they would. 

The lack of transparency bothered me. 

I was determined to find a better way to build trust and deliver on promises.

While I was growing up in Central Texas, I loved being outdoors. The time I spent creating memories with friends and family in parks, fields, and backyards made those outdoor spaces special. But I also saw how much effort it took to maintain. 

Lawns need a huge amount of water, and with drought conditions becoming more common, watering restrictions meant dead grass. I knew outdoor spaces could be beautiful and inviting without the endless frustration.

The vision behind Lone Star Turf

Those experiences shaped Lone Star Turf. I wanted to create a company that respected people’s time, money, and trust while solving real challenges like water waste and constant yard upkeep. 

Artificial turf was the perfect fit—durable, low-maintenance, and ideal for Texas conditions.

From day one, I committed to using premium materials, giving honest pricing upfront, and treating every yard like my own. 

The mission is simple: create outdoor spaces you can enjoy without stress, surprises, or wasted weekends.

Why artificial turf works for Texas

In our climate, traditional lawns can be expensive and labor-intensive to maintain. Turf eliminates mowing, fertilizing, and most watering. For many homeowners, it can cut water bills by up to 50 percent, depending on local watering schedules.

It also looks great year-round, even during drought restrictions. Whether you’re hosting a last-minute get-together or just enjoying a quiet afternoon, you can focus on the moment instead of yard work.

Building Lone Star Turf as a transparent alternative in a dishonest industry

From day one, our promise has been simple: no hidden costs, no surprise bills, and no cutting corners. We listen to your vision, explain every step, and deliver work we’re proud to put our name on.

No hidden costs. Ever.

Our bids are transparent. If you decide to add features or make changes, we’ll price them upfront before work begins.

Showing up and communicating

We keep our word. If an unexpected delay happens, like bad weather or a supply hiccup, we’ll tell you immediately and explain the plan to get back on track.

Treating every yard like it’s our own

Your yard is the biggest room in your house, and we treat it with the respect it deserves. We use premium materials and proven installation techniques so your turf will look great and perform for years.

Lone Star Turf isn’t just about laying artificial grass. It’s about creating trust and delivering an experience customers feel good about from start to finish. Our core values guide everything we do:

  • Integrity: We uphold high ethical standards, deliver on promises, and take responsibility for our work. 
  • Customer Satisfaction: We listen closely, build lasting relationships, and go the extra mile to make sure you love your space. 
  • Growth: We continuously improve our skills, embrace innovation, and look for better ways to serve our clients and community.

I also believe in building a strong team culture—hiring people who share our values, celebrating wins, and treating each other with respect.

Looking Ahead

I began Lone Star Turf in Austin and we now serve major Texas markets all over the state, including Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, and Houston. My vision is for Lone Star Turf to become the undisputed leader in the Southern U.S. artificial turf industry while raising the bar for quality and transparency.

Raising Industry Standards Across the South

As we grow into new markets, we’ll keep pushing for higher industry standards: Clear pricing, ethical practices, and open communication.
