Tycho Solutions designs and builds artificial turf installation in Sun Lakes, AZ. Graded, based and drained properly, built to last in the sun.
Sun Lakes homes built from the 1970s through the 1990s carry original grass lawns and cracked concrete slabs that were never designed for the sun and heat load this valley gets today. Block wall yards trap radiant heat, and older irrigation lines crack under compacted caliche soil, leaving dead spots and standing water that seeps toward the home’s foundation.
On lots this size, an aging lawn or a settled patio is not just cosmetic. Grass that struggles becomes a water bill and a maintenance schedule; a cracked slab becomes a trip hazard. Removing the old surface, correcting the grade for drainage, and building a compacted base underneath everything is what actually holds up here.
We remove aging lawns and cracked concrete, regrade for drainage, and build new turf, paver and hardscape systems suited to Sun Lakes heat and lot size.
From artificial turf and paver patios to pergolas and putting greens, Tycho Solutions builds new backyard features designed for Sun Lakes’ active adult lifestyle and low maintenance expectations.
As a backyard landscaping contractor in Sun Lakes, we handle the full yard rather than one feature at a time: turf, pavers, planting beds, drip irrigation and lighting laid out together so the grading, drainage and material transitions actually work as one system. That coordination matters more on an older Sun Lakes lot, where a single missed grade line sends water toward the block wall instead of away from it.
As an outdoor kitchen builder in Sun Lakes, we frame and plumb built in grills, side burners and prep counters into the same hardscape footprint as the patio, so gas, water and electrical rough in happen once instead of as a separate add on later. Countertops and cabinetry are chosen to handle direct desert sun without warping or fading over a full Arizona summer.
A hardscape contractor in Sun Lakes has to plan for more than a single patio surface: low voltage path lighting along a walkway, a gas line run out to a fire feature, and seat walls that double as extra entertaining space around it. We rough in electrical and gas conduit before any pavers or travertine go down, so nothing gets cut into a finished surface later.
A pergola builder in Sun Lakes has to account for a backyard that already has a patio, a kitchen or a fire feature competing for the same footprint. We design the structure around what is already built or planned, running electrical for fans and lighting through the posts so the shade structure works with an outdoor kitchen instead of crowding it.
Sun Lakes homeowners are often replacing a backyard that has outlasted its irrigation lines and its owner’s patience for upkeep. Tycho Solutions builds new turf, paver and hardscape systems designed around this city’s block wall lots, active adult lifestyle and low maintenance expectations, not a stopgap on a yard that is already failing.
Turf and hardscape installs carry a 15 year manufacturer warranty on materials and a 2 year workmanship warranty, built for Sun Lakes’ sun and heat load.
One crew handles demolition, grading, drainage and installation on your Sun Lakes lot from start to finish, without juggling separate landscaping and hardscape contractors.
UV stabilized turf, compacted aggregate bases and travertine or concrete pavers are built to hold up under direct Sun Lakes sun without fading or shifting.
Tycho Solutions is licensed, bonded and insured under Arizona ROC #364735 for every backyard project built in Sun Lakes.
Sun Lakes was built as one of the original active adult golf communities in the East Valley, with most lots dating to the 1970s through the 1990s on smaller footprints than newer development further south. Block walls surround nearly every yard, trapping heat through the evening and leaving less room to work with than a newer half acre lot.
The part of an older Sun Lakes yard that fails first is rarely what a homeowner notices. Turf that looks tired is usually sitting on a base that was never compacted to spec, so it settles and holds water instead of draining it. A patio slab that has cracked and heaved is telling you the soil underneath moved, not that the concrete was bad. Correcting the grade and the base before the surface goes in is what keeps the failure from repeating.
Sun Lakes runs multiple homeowner associations, each with its own design review on fence height, visible equipment and how a yard reads from a shared golf course view. We build to whatever a given association requires on wall height, screening and finish before work starts, so the finished yard clears review the first time.

Every backyard remodel in Sun Lakes is priced around the specific mix of turf, pavers and structures a yard needs, since lot size, existing hardscape and drainage work all change the scope. We walk the yard, price the actual project, and never quote a number before that walkthrough happens.
Tycho Solutions installs and replaces complete systems rather than working on one damaged section at a time. If part of an artificial turf installation in Sun Lakes starts to fail, or several pavers in a patio have shifted, the honest long term answer is usually a full section replacement, since new material installed next to years old material rarely matches in color or wear.
Yes. A flat Sun Lakes lot needs the grade built into the base itself rather than relying on the yard to slope water away on its own. On a paver patio installation in Sun Lakes we set a slight fall across the surface and tie it into a drain or the yard’s low point, and turf gets a compacted base with a similar built in slope so water moves off instead of pooling against the house.
Both. As a hardscape contractor in Sun Lakes we work with individual homeowners as well as builders, developers and HOA boards on common area turf, pathways and hardscape for clubhouses, entries and shared golf course facing spaces. Commercial and HOA projects follow the same licensed, bonded and insured process as any residential backyard, just at a larger scale and often with a design review submission built in.
Yes. Tycho Solutions is licensed, bonded and insured under Arizona ROC #364735, and as a backyard landscaping contractor in Sun Lakes we pull the required permits for structures like pergolas and outdoor kitchens and submit for HOA design review where it applies, so the homeowner is not managing that process alone.
As a pergola builder in Sun Lakes we build wood and aluminum shade structures anchored into the existing patio or wall. We also handle putting green installation in Sun Lakes for golf course community homes that want a practice surface at home, and act as an outdoor kitchen builder in Sun Lakes for homeowners adding built in grills, counters and a covered dining space to an existing patio.
