Finished artificial turf yard installed by Nikao Hardscapes beside an existing patio

Completed Nikao project · Colorado Front Range

From bare backyardto a clean year-round lawn.

The project

A finished lawn that works with the existing patio.

Nikao converted the unfinished backyard into a defined artificial turf lawn with crisp rock borders and a clean transition to the existing patio. The result is a usable, low-maintenance surface with consistent coverage from edge to edge.

Existing lawn and loose material removal
Grade and base preparation across the full yard
Artificial turf installation with shaped perimeter edges
Clean transitions to the patio, rock and utility areas

Before + after

The same backyard, finished for daily use.

Matching viewpoints show the real change clearly: an unfinished, uneven yard became one continuous turf surface with defined edges.

The Nikao standard

A natural-looking finish starts with a consistent plane.

Artificial turf needs more than clean seams. Removal, grade, base preparation, drainage and secure edges work together to create a surface that looks intentional and stays useful.
