Water

Highland Park’s watering rules, and why turf changes the math

The town’s water comes from the Dallas County Park Cities Municipal Utilities District, which holds senior water rights in Grapevine Lake. Highland Park limits lawn watering to twice a week by address: even-numbered addresses on Sundays and Thursdays, odd-numbered addresses on Saturdays and Wednesdays. From April 1 through October 31, lawn irrigation is not permitted between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The town says it is currently under Drought Emergency Response Stage 1. Hand watering and soaker hoses are permitted during those hours.

Checked October 2026. Rules change with drought stages; the Highland Park Water Conservation page is the authority.

Zero water

With strict local ordinances and tiered water rates, artificial turf offers a zero-water solution. A typical 1,800-square-foot lawn can save approximately 99,000 gallons of water annually, potentially reducing water bills by 70%.

Built for the Texas sun

We exclusively install heavyweight (73–111 oz total weight) UV-stabilized turf designed to withstand the harsh Texas sun without fading or melting. Does turf get too hot in Texas?

Town code

Highland Park’s artificial turf ordinance

Highland Park has an ordinance written specifically for artificial turf: Section 3.01.002 of its Code of Ordinances. In short, turf goes in back yards that cannot be seen from the street, a building permit comes first, and the code sets what the turf is made of and how it is installed.

Where

Back yards out of public view

The code makes it unlawful to install artificial turf in a front yard, or in any yard where any portion of it is visible from the town’s streets, sidewalks, parkways or alleys. It is also not allowed in any easement or parkway.

Code § 3.01.002(b) and (d)

Permit

A building permit comes first

Every installation needs a building permit. The application includes a plan drawn to scale showing structures, fences and the turf area with its dimensions, plus the turf’s specifications and installation instructions.

Code § 3.01.002(e)

Materials

What the turf is made of

Blades and backing must be lead-free polyethylene, vegetable-based, or a combination of the two; nylon and plastic are prohibited. Colors must mimic natural turf, and on homes the blades must be between 1½ and 2½ inches long.

Code § 3.01.002(f)

Installation

How it is laid and kept

Seams must be sewn, edges not visible and anchoring permanent, and the turf may never create runoff onto adjacent private property. Afterwards it must be kept clean and free of weeds, holes, tears, stains, fading, seam separations and uplifted surfaces.

Code § 3.01.002(f) and (g)

Checked October 2026. Each card links to the page or code section it comes from; those are the authority if anything changes.

What we install in Highland Park

Every install starts the same way: excavation 3-4 inches deep, Class II road base with decomposed granite, drainage, a commercial-grade weed barrier, then the turf cut to fit and finished with infill and power-brushing. The full six-step process is on our services page, and what sits under the turf is explained layer by layer in our base guide.

From April 1 through October 31, lawn irrigation is not permitted between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. The town says it is currently under Drought Emergency Response Stage 1.

No. Section 3.01.002 of Highland Park’s Code of Ordinances makes it unlawful to install artificial turf in a front yard, or anywhere any portion of it can be seen from the town’s streets, sidewalks, parkways or alleys, and every installation needs a building permit first. The same section requires polyethylene or vegetable-based turf (no nylon) with blades of 1½ to 2½ inches on homes. The full text is in the town’s code.

For a Highland Park back yard, Estate 84 (approximately 2 in pile) and The Reserve (1.75 in) both fall inside the town’s 1½ to 2½ inch range for homes; Signature 50 (1.38 in) and our putting surfaces (0.51 to 0.63 in) are shorter than it allows. The town also requires polyethylene or vegetable-based blades and backing, and our lawn lines list a polyethylene and polypropylene yarn on a PP and polyurethane backing, so check the line with the town’s building inspection before choosing. Each spec sheet goes with the permit application. Every line is listed with its specification on our turf range page.
