Turf costs can vary widely depending on the type you choose. Nylon is a popular choice but can be expensive - it can cost $5 to $6 per square foot. Nylon holds up to high temperatures and is best for shaded areas. Another option is polypropylene turf, which costs between $2 and $6 per square foot. It has a soft, natural texture and is durable but requires periodic raking.
In order to lay synthetic turf, the soil will need to be prepared. In most cases, the dirt will be covered by a layer of rock and a wire mesh material. Then, an intermediate layer of CMB or Class II road base will be laid down. These materials can be expensive but should last for at least 8 years. They may also need to be covered with a weed barrier to keep the natural grass from pushing through the turf. The Turf Lawn installation costs vary depending on the size of the yard and the type of grass you choose.
Real grass typically costs less, but you will still need to water, fertilize, cut, and trim it regularly. A four-inch roll of artificial grass will cost about $21 for a 500 square foot yard, while a one-hundred square foot yard will cost up to $8,000. If you decide to go with artificial grass, you will also need to purchase a weed barrier fabric and a weed barrier.
When choosing the type of turf, it is important to consider where you plan to install the grass. If you are planning to install the turf on a rooftop, pool perimeter, or concrete location, you may need specialized materials. The artificial grass itself is usually sold in rolls of seven to fifteen feet wide, but some places will custom cut it for you. Moreover, cutting the turf will add $1 to $3 per square foot to the overall cost, and will require additional labor.
