Frequently Asked Questions
How much does artificial turf cost?
Artificial turf costs $2-$8 per square foot for materials depending on quality and pile height. Professional installation adds $4-$12 per square foot. Total installed cost ranges from $6-$20 per square foot.
What base goes under artificial turf?
Install 3-4 inches of crushed rock (3/4" minus or decomposed granite) as a base, compacted to 95%. This provides drainage and a stable surface. Do not use regular dirt or sand as a base.
Does artificial turf need infill?
Most turf benefits from infill (silica sand, crumb rubber, or zeolite at 1-2 lbs per sq ft). Infill supports blade memory, provides cushion, adds weight, and improves drainage. Some short-pile products skip infill.
