What Affects the Price

  • Area Size and Layout : Larger installations typically cost less per square foot due to economies of scale. Complex layouts with multiple sections, corners, and obstacles increase labor time and material waste, raising your overall cost.
  • Turf Product and Face Weight : Premium artificial grass with higher face weight (density) and more realistic appearance costs more than basic options. Pet turf and sports surfaces command higher prices due to their specialized durability and drainage properties.
  • Base Preparation and Caliche Depth : Proper base compaction is essential in Chandler's caliche-heavy soil. Deep compaction, grading work, and soil amendments increase labor and materials, but ensure long-term stability and drainage.
  • Removal of Existing Lawn or Turf : If you have an old lawn or synthetic turf to remove, disposal and site clearing add $2 per square foot or more. Starting with bare ground is typically less expensive than removal and replacement.

Two yards of the same size can have very different costs based on these variables. That is why a site visit is essential for an accurate quote.

Residential artificial grass installation starts at $8 per square foot, while pet turf begins at $10 per square foot, putting greens at $15 per square foot, and specialty surfaces like artificial grass walls at $18 per square foot.
