Understanding the Costs
The total cost of an artificial turf project includes more than just the grass itself:
- Artificial Turf: The cost of the synthetic grass, which varies by quality, pile height, and brand.
- Base Preparation: This is a crucial step and includes excavating the area, and laying and compacting a base layer of crushed stone or aggregate. This ensures proper drainage and a level surface.
- Infill Material: This is a granular material (like silica sand or rubber) spread over the turf to help the blades stand up, add weight, and provide cushioning.
- Labor: This calculator estimates material costs. Professional installation labor can add significantly to the total price.
