Artificial Turf in Preston Hollow, Dallas

Water

Dallas’s watering rules, and why turf changes the math

Preston Hollow is inside the City of Dallas, so Dallas’s rules apply. Dallas limits lawn and landscape watering to twice a week, on days set by the last digit of the street address: addresses ending in an even number (or with no number) on Sundays and Thursdays, odd numbers on Saturdays and Wednesdays. Yards may not be watered between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. on any day of the year, and the City Code requires every automatic irrigation system to have a working rain and freeze sensor. Violations can bring fines of $250 to $2,000 per incident, and first offenses are issued a warning. Dallas Water Utilities’ FAQ says hand watering and soaker hoses are permitted at any time.

Checked October 2026. Rules change with drought stages; the City of Dallas Water Conservation Ordinance (Dallas Water Utilities) 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?

History and code

Preston Hollow, and Dallas’s turf rule

Preston Hollow began as its own town, incorporated in 1939 around Preston Road and Northwest Highway, and in 1945 it voted to join the City of Dallas while the Park Cities stayed separate (Dallas Municipal Archives). That is why Dallas’s rules apply here, and Highland Park’s turf ordinance does not.

Development code

Turf can’t stand in for required trees

Dallas’s landscape article says artificial plant materials, including synthetic turf, may not be used to satisfy its requirements. On a single-family lot those requirements are trees: on lots of 7,500 square feet or more, at least three large or medium nursery-stock trees, two of them in the front yard. Turf goes around them, not instead of them.

Code § 51A-10.103 § 51A-10.121

Free check

A free irrigation evaluation

Dallas Water Utilities customers can get a free irrigation system evaluation from a licensed landscape irrigation specialist, covering programming errors, leaks, broken or misaligned equipment, pressure and coverage. Worth booking for the beds and trees that stay on the sprinklers.

No. Preston Hollow voted to join the City of Dallas in 1945, while Highland Park and University Park stayed separate, so Highland Park’s turf ordinance does not apply. In the Dallas City Code as published in October 2026, the provision that names synthetic turf says it cannot count toward required landscaping, which on a single-family lot means the required trees. Some Dallas planned-development and conservation districts have their own ordinances, and deed restrictions are separate again; our Texas HOA guide covers those.

For a backyard putting green there are two surfaces: Tour Master, a texturized polyethylene at a 0.63 in pile, and Tour Master Pro, 100% nylon at 0.51 in with a non-directional diamond blade for a smooth, consistent roll. Our Poly or Nylon guide explains which suits your yard. Every line is listed with its specification on our turf range page.
