Artificial Grass, Playground Rubber and Epoxy Floors in Pomona
Large households, many churches and long hot summers: practical surfaces for homes, congregations and schools.
Quick answer
Turbo Surfacing installs artificial grass, poured in place rubber, epoxy floors and polished concrete in Pomona for homeowners, churches, schools and landlords. We are licensed, bonded and insured, we respond within 24 hours, and we plan around hot inland summers, homes built in the late 1960s and a city with a high number of congregations.
Key takeaways
- About 147,940 residents and about 3.5 people per household.
- About 70 days a year at or above 90 degrees.
- About 58 mapped places of worship, more than parks or playgrounds.
- Median home built in 1967, so slabs need careful repair before coating.
- We respond to estimate requests within 24 hours.
Pomona is an inland city of about 148,000 people at the eastern edge of Los Angeles County, 30 miles from the coast. Summers are hot, the median home was built in 1967 and households are large.
Turbo Surfacing serves Pomona with more than 15 years of installation experience. This page looks at what public data shows about Pomona homes, climate and open space, and how those facts shape the surface we recommend for a yard, a play area or a floor.
OpenStreetMap records Lincoln Park and Saint Joseph Elementary School as named local features; these map references are not Turbo project claims or confirmation of current public access. A Pomona site plan should separate public park circulation from a school-controlled entrance before setting temporary work boundaries.

Large households in 1960s homes
The Census Bureau's 2024 five year estimates count about 147,940 people in roughly 42,620 households. That is about 3.5 people per household. Owners live in 54.0 percent of households, and the median home was built in 1967.
Large households put more wear on a home. Back yards serve children, pets and gatherings, garages double as storage and workspace, and driveways carry extra cars. Artificial grass handles that traffic better than sod, and it needs no mowing or watering during the long dry months. A coated garage floor stays cleaner under heavy use than bare concrete.
Slabs poured in the late 1960s deserve a careful look. Hairline cracks are common, and some sections have settled. We repair what can be repaired and tell you plainly when a section should be replaced before any coating goes on.
Hot summers, dry winters
NOAA's 1991 to 2020 normals give Pomona an average July high near 90 degrees and about 70 days a year at or above 90 degrees. Annual rain is about 14.5 inches. The city is about 30 miles from the coast, so it gets little marine cooling.
Seventy hot days a year shape our advice. Turf warms in direct sun, so we choose lighter blends and plan shade. Dark rubber is hot, so we steer sunny play areas toward lighter, mixed colors. Epoxy cures well in warm weather, and we begin slab preparation early to avoid working in the afternoon sun. Rain is limited but arrives in strong storms, so every base we build is compacted and graded to move water off the surface.
A high number of congregations
OpenStreetMap volunteers have mapped about 58 places of worship in Pomona, a high number compared with the 25 mapped playgrounds and 30 mapped parks. Mapped sites include Church of Christ, Church of God and Church of the Open Bible. Congregations manage halls, kitchens, classrooms, courtyards, parking lots and often a children's wing.
We help congregations sequence work around services and weekday programs. A hall floor can be ground, repaired and coated in a few days, and children's play areas are best installed over a quiet week. Polished concrete suits a large hall where you want a durable floor without a coating that shows wear in walking lanes. Turf can convert an unused strip beside the sanctuary into an all weather courtyard.
Congregation boards usually need a written proposal, photos and a schedule. We prepare all three and are glad to attend a meeting to answer questions.
Schools and shared play areas
OpenStreetMap volunteers have also mapped about 41 schools and 1 child care site. Mapped parks include Pomona Civic Center Park, Pomona Jaycees Community Park, Palomares Park and Ted Greene Park. Schools, churches and apartment communities hold much of the play equipment that families use.
Those sites need a cushioned surface under and around climbing equipment, swings and slides. Poured in place rubber drains, stays level and does not migrate. We measure the tallest platform on each structure, match the thickness to that fall height and leave a written record. Title 22, section 101238.2 requires licensed child care centers to provide cushioning under and around climbing equipment. Where funds are public, send your bid documents and we will tell you which prevailing wage paperwork we can provide.
Landlords and property managers
Nearly half of Pomona households rent, which makes landlords and property managers a large part of our work. They want yards that survive turnover, floors that clean easily and documents that the next manager can follow. We provide a written scope listing the base depth, edge detail and product specification, plus a one page care sheet to hand to tenants.
Yards that survive big gatherings
Pomona families gather often, and a yard with a long table, a bounce house or a soccer game takes a beating. Turf stays level and clean through all of it. We install it over a compacted, drained base so the surface does not rut or puddle, and we finish the seams so they disappear. A concrete patio beside the lawn can be coated or polished for a unified look, with texture for grip.
Water and turf programs
We have not confirmed a current turf replacement program for Pomona, and its water provider is not listed in the data we use. Ask your provider what it offers for your address.
Rebates generally pay for replacing lawn with plants, so artificial grass is usually a separate decision. It fits dog runs, play strips and side yards where plants and mowers are impractical.
