What Affects the Price

  • Turf Product and Face Weight : Higher quality synthetic turf with greater face weight (density) costs more but delivers superior durability and appearance. We offer options at different price points to match your budget and performance needs.
  • Area Size and Layout : Larger installations benefit from better per-square-foot pricing. Complex layouts with curves, slopes, or multiple sections require more labor and material, which affects the final cost.
  • Site Preparation and Base Work : Proper base depth and compaction are essential for longevity. Uneven terrain, poor drainage, or challenging soil conditions may require additional preparation, which impacts pricing.
  • Removal of Existing Lawn or Old Turf : If you're replacing an existing lawn or worn turf, removal and disposal add to the project cost. We handle this as part of the conversion process, starting at $2 per square foot for removal.
  • Access and Site Conditions : Easy access for equipment and materials keeps costs down. Tight spaces, steep slopes, or limited entry points may require specialized equipment or additional labor.
  • Infill Type and Amount : The infill material (sand, rubber, or hybrid) affects performance and cost. Some applications require more infill than others depending on use and climate.

Pricing FAQ

Why does artificial grass installation cost vary so much between projects?
Several factors influence pricing: the quality and type of turf you choose, the size and complexity of your layout, how much site preparation is needed, whether you're removing an old lawn, and access conditions. A small pet turf installation with premium materials will cost more per square foot than a large residential yard with standard turf. We evaluate each project individually to give you an accurate price.
What does the cost per square foot include?
Our per-square-foot pricing covers the turf material, base preparation, installation labor, and seaming. Depending on your project, this may also include removal of existing lawn, grading, and compaction. When you call (865) 407-2127 for your free estimate, we'll detail exactly what's included so there are no surprises.
How much does it cost to remove an old lawn before artificial grass installation?
Lawn removal and disposal starts at $2 per square foot. The final cost depends on the condition of your existing lawn, debris volume, and site accessibility. We include removal as part of a full lawn conversion project and can provide a separate quote if you'd like removal only.
Are there additional costs for repairs or seam work?
Turf repair and seam repair services start at $350 and are priced based on the extent of damage and the area affected. Turf cleaning and pet odor treatment start at $250. These are separate from installation and help extend the life and appearance of your turf.
