Pavers and artificial turf together: a Brentwood backyard guide
Short answer
Pavers and artificial turf work well together in Brentwood yards: pavers give a solid, level surface for tables, paths and pool edges, and turf keeps the rest green without mowing or summer watering. Jorge has built paver-and-turf grids, turf strips between pavers and paver patios bordered by turf in several Brentwood backyards and side yards.

Common ways to combine them
Paver patio with a turf lawn: a solid area for furniture and a green area for kids or pets.
Paver-and-turf grid: square pavers with turf between them, often used in side yards and around pools.
Turf strips in a driveway or walkway: pavers carry the weight, turf softens the look.
How the work goes in
The pavers go first, on a dug-out and compacted base so they stay level. The turf is then cut and fitted around the pavers on its own prepared base, with attention to where water drains.
Real Brentwood examples
Bryan's backyard pairs a paver patio and turf lawn with a paver-and-turf grid side yard.
Two Brentwood pool projects use turf set between pavers around the pool.
Kat's and Stacy's front yards were converted to artificial turf, with new concrete at Stacy's.

Common questions
- Can artificial turf be installed between pavers?
- Yes. Turf can be cut to fit between pavers in a grid or in strips. Jorge has done this in Brentwood side yards and around pools.
- Should pavers or turf go in first?
- Pavers usually go in first on a compacted base, then the turf is fitted around them so the edges line up cleanly.
- Are pavers and turf good around a pool?
- They are a common pairing around Brentwood pools: pavers near the water and for walkways, turf for lounging areas. The layout should keep water draining away from the pool.
