The Cost To Have Artificial Turf Installed

The cost of artificial turf can vary widely depending on several factors, including the quality of the turf, the size of the area to be covered, additional materials needed for installation, and any labor costs if hiring professionals. Here’s a breakdown of the main cost considerations:

Quality of Artificial Turf

– Basic vs. Premium Quality: Basic artificial turf tends to be more affordable but may have a shorter lifespan and less realistic appearance. Premium-quality turf is often more expensive but offers superior durability, aesthetic appeal, and performance.

– Square Footage: Artificial turf is typically sold by the square foot, so the size of the area you want to cover directly impacts the overall cost. Larger areas will require more turf and therefore incur higher costs.

– Base Materials: Depending on the installation method, you may need additional materials such as crushed rock, silica sand, or gravel for the base layer, as well as weed barrier fabric and bender board edging.

– Adhesive and Joining Tape: If joining multiple rolls of turf or securing edges, you may need adhesive/glue and specialized seam tape.

– Professional Installation: Hiring professionals for installation will incur labor costs, which can vary depending on the complexity of the project, site preparation requirements, and local labor rates.

– Delivery Fees: If purchasing turf from a supplier, there may be delivery fees associated with transporting the materials to your location.

– Tools and Equipment: If installing the turf yourself, you may need to purchase or rent tools and equipment such as a compactor, utility knife, and power brush.

– Turf Pricing: SGS prices every job by quote, and every buyer gets contractor pricing, homeowners included. Our landscape turf runs from Zatanna, our most affordable, to Sage Max, our most luxurious, so the line you pick drives most of the material cost.

– Total Project Cost: To estimate the total cost of your artificial turf project, multiply the square footage of the area to be covered by the cost per square foot of the turf material, then add any additional costs for base materials, labor (if applicable), and miscellaneous expenses.

To price your job, send us the square footage and we’ll quote the turf and supplies together. Also consider factors such as warranty coverage, maintenance requirements, and long-term savings when evaluating the overall cost-effectiveness of artificial turf for your landscaping project.
