FAQs
Backyard Turf FAQs
How much should I expect to pay for artificial grass?
Most residential backyard projects run $8 to $15 per square foot installed, depending on turf grade and how much tear-out is involved.
Can you install turf over existing dead grass or do you have to remove it first?
Dead grass and its root system need to come out first. Installing over it leads to uneven settling as the roots decompose underneath.
How big does a backyard usually need to be for this service to make sense?
There's no minimum, this covers everything from small courtyards to full-size backyards.
Does backyard turf need any ongoing maintenance?
Occasional rinsing and infill top-off every few years, but no mowing, fertilizing, or watering.
