Turf Installation
A Lawn That Feels Like Summer in the Brainerd Lakes
Turf Installation That Brings Life Back to Your Backyard
Weekends at the lake shouldn’t mean avoiding your own backyard because it’s too muddy, uneven, or worn out. A healthy, level, and low-maintenance lawn gives you the freedom to actually use your space — for family soccer games, barefoot evenings after dinner, or simply stretching out with a book on a sunny afternoon.
At Yardcreations, we install turf as part of complete outdoor living spaces so everything connects: patios, walkways, fire features, plantings, and the open green space that ties it all together.
A Lawn That Works As Hard As It Plays
We think a backyard lawn should feel like the best part of your summer weekend, not a project waiting to be done. That’s why our turf installation focuses on:
Grading and drainage so water flows where it should, even after a summer storm
Healthy soil prep so your turf takes root fast and stays green longer
The right grass types for sun, shade, or lakeside living — no one-size-fits-all solutions
Seamless connections between patios, walkways, plantings, and open lawn areas
Optional irrigation integration so your lawn stays healthy without extra work
What Homeowners Want to Know About Turf Installation
We know homeowners care about more than just green grass. You want a lawn that looks good, works the way it should, and lasts for years without turning into another weekend project. Here’s what we focus on:
The right turf for your yard – We choose grass varieties suited for Brainerd Lakes’ weather, soil, sun, shade, and the way you actually use your backyard.

Built for Life in the Brainerd Lakes
Minnesota weather is tough on outdoor spaces — heavy snow, summer sun, sandy soils along the shoreline. We choose turf types and installation methods designed to handle it all so your lawn keeps looking great season after season.
Every complete outdoor living project begins with a 3D design so you can see the entire plan — patios, fire features, retaining walls, walkways, and turf — before we start. You’ll know the budget and timeline up front and get updates every step of the way as your backyard comes to life.

The Space Between Everything Else
Patios hold the furniture. Walkways lead to the view. Fire features bring everyone together. The lawn connects it all — the space where life actually happens.
With a Yardcreations turf installation, your backyard becomes one complete space, designed for mornings that start slow, evenings that last longer, and weekends that finally feel like weekends.
