Complete pricing breakdown for materials, installation, and long-term savings.

Material Costs by Product Type

Artificial grass materials range from $3 to $6 per square foot depending on the product category. Residential turf like our Nature's Supreme starts at $3.49/sq ft, while specialty products like putting green turf (Pro Putt Series) run $5.99/sq ft. Pet turf with antimicrobial backing averages $3.79/sq ft, and heavy-duty commercial turf (Commercial Max, 80oz face weight) is $4.29/sq ft.

Installation Costs

Professional installation typically adds $4 to $8 per square foot on top of material costs. This includes demolition of existing landscape, base preparation (crushed rock, compaction), weed barrier, turf installation, seaming, infill, and power brushing. Complex projects with curves, slopes, or limited access may run higher.

Total Project Cost Examples

A 500 sq ft backyard lawn runs $4,000-7,000 installed. A 200 sq ft dog run costs $1,500-2,800. A backyard putting green (400 sq ft) typically runs $4,000-6,000. Commercial projects at scale often see lower per-square-foot pricing through our contractor program.

Long-Term Savings

The real value of synthetic grass is in what you stop paying for. The average Arizona homeowner spends $150-300/month on lawn care (water, mowing, fertilizer, pest control). Over 15 years -- the typical warranty period -- that is $27,000-54,000 in savings against a one-time investment of $5,000-10,000.

Water Rebates Can Offset Costs

Both Arizona and California water agencies offer rebates for turf replacement. LADWP offers up to $3/sq ft, SDCWA up to $4/sq ft, and Arizona programs vary by municipality. These rebates can offset 20-40% of total project cost.
