Product selection in Katy's master-planned communities is constrained by ARB covenant language that varies by section. Cinco Ranch's older sections under the original Newland covenants, the newer Trendmaker-developed phases, Riverstone's Friendswood Development guidelines, and each HOA section's specific pile height and colorimetry requirements all affect which products can be submitted for approval. Starting product selection without knowing those constraints may produce a selection that can't be approved by the applicable ARB.

No. The cost factors for Katy master-planned community installations — base aggregate depth required for the site's drainage conditions, ARB documentation scope, edge system specification, and grade correction requirements — are site-specific and can't be accurately estimated from homeowner-provided dimensions. A phone quote that doesn't account for those variables will be wrong in ways that create friction at contract time or, worse, at the point where the actual installation scope diverges from what was quoted.

The site visit typically takes 45-60 minutes for a standard front-yard and rear-yard residential consultation. The written estimate is typically provided within 48-72 hours of the site visit, after the covenant review is confirmed and the site conditions are documented. For homeowners in a planning phase rather than an active decision phase, we're happy to conduct the consultation without any obligation — the information about the ARB process and site conditions is useful regardless of when or whether the project proceeds.

We walk through the submission window, the documentation required for the specific community section, and the expected response timeline based on whether the ARB is managed by a professional management company or a resident volunteer board. Most Katy master-planned community ARBs have 30-day review windows; management-company boards tend to adhere more consistently than resident boards. We build the submission timeline into the project schedule from the first consultation so there are no timeline surprises when the project starts.

Yes. The consultation is specifically designed to give undecided homeowners the information they need to make the decision with accurate expectations — covenant requirements, site-specific installation considerations, realistic project cost, and the honest qualifications about what artificial turf does and doesn't deliver in Katy's climate. Many homeowners leave the consultation with a clearer decision framework regardless of whether they proceed immediately.

Submit the contact form with your address and the name of your master-planned community or HOA. We'll confirm the applicable community section and covenant document before scheduling the site visit, so the consultation begins with ARB-accurate context rather than generic product information.
