  • Artificial turf cost depends on multiple factors like access to the area, type of turf, and removal of preexisting sod or rock. A rough estimate for an install can cost anywhere from $7 -$14 a square foot.

  • The two big factors the contribute to install time is access and how much turf is being installed. An install can be a couple days to a week long.

  • Artificial turf can get hot if it’s in direct sunlight. The ways we minimize this is using high quality turf the that disperses the heat and high quality infill that keeps it cooler. On those really hot days wetting the grass is a very good option and fun for the kids.
