How one RV park eliminated $8,000 in monthly water costs and achieved 100% occupancy with artificial turf installation
Midessa RV Park, a 260-unit facility strategically located between Midland and Odessa, was facing a crisis that threatened their business model.
Monthly water costs had reached $8,000 during summer months, with rates continuing to climb due to drought conditions and municipal rate increases. The park's large common areas required constant irrigation to maintain any semblance of green space.
The combination of heavy RV traffic and occasional rain created a muddy mess that residents tracked into their units. During dry periods, dust clouds made outdoor activities unpleasant. The park was receiving 15-20 complaints weekly about ground conditions.
Despite being in a prime location for oil field workers, occupancy had dropped to 75%. Prospective residents often chose competitors with better amenities, and long-term residents were leaving for parks with more professional appearances.
The park employed two full-time groundskeepers just to manage mowing, irrigation repairs, and constant reseeding of dead areas. Equipment breakdowns and labor costs were eating into already thin margins.
"We were in a death spiral. Water costs kept going up, occupancy kept going down, and no matter how much we spent on landscaping, the place looked terrible by August."
- Tom Baker, Owner
After analyzing the property and understanding their specific needs, we designed a comprehensive artificial turf solution that would address every challenge.
We identified high-impact areas: the main entrance, office surroundings, central common areas, and walking paths. By focusing on these 15,000 sq ft, we could transform the park's appearance while staying within budget.
We specified commercial-grade turf with enhanced drainage backing, capable of handling 30+ inches of rain per hour. The selected product featured realistic color variation and optimal blade height for high-traffic areas.
Our crew completed the installation in just 5 days, working in sections to minimize disruption to residents. Advanced drainage systems were installed to handle West Texas flash floods, ensuring no more mud issues.
We added value by creating defined pet relief areas and installing decorative rock borders. These touches elevated the property's appearance from basic RV parking to premium workforce housing.
The transformation was immediate and dramatic, exceeding even our most optimistic projections.
The improved appearance allowed Midessa RV Park to reposition itself as a premium option for oil field workers:
"We're not just saving money – we're making money. The turf paid for itself in under 6 months, and now it's pure profit. Plus, our residents love it. We haven't had a single ground-related complaint since installation."

Tom BakerOwner, Midessa RV Park"I was skeptical about the investment at first, but the numbers don't lie. We're saving over $11,000 a month between water and maintenance. But the real victory is having happy residents and a waiting list.
The Permian Turf Solutions team understood our business. They didn't just install turf – they solved our biggest operational headache. Now I can focus on growing the business instead of dealing with mud and dead grass.
If you're running an RV park in West Texas without artificial turf, you're literally throwing money away. Make the call."
