What moves a turf quote

  • Turf grade. Budget, mid and premium turf use different fibers and backing.
  • Prep. Old grass, roots, slope and low spots all add labor before any turf goes down.
  • Size and shape. Small yards cost more per square foot, and curves cost more than straight lines.
  • Access. Narrow gates and tight lots slow the crew and can add delivery cost.
  • Add-ons. Pet drainage, cooling infill, edging and extra base work.
  • Permits and HOA. Any paperwork the job needs.

Nationwide, one cost guide puts installed artificial grass anywhere from $5.45 to $20 per square foot, with labor at roughly 50% to 60% of the total. Jacksonville ranges sit inside that.

How to compare quotes

A lower number does not always mean a lower price. Ask each installer for the same things in writing.

  • Square footage and price per square foot.
  • Base depth and material.
  • Turf product, pile and infill.
  • Old grass removal and hauling.
  • Edging and how the turf is anchored.
  • Permit, HOA paperwork and cleanup.

Cost questions

Why do small yards cost more per square foot?

The crew, the trip and the setup are about the same for a small yard as for a large one, so the cost is spread over fewer square feet.

Is there a fee to get a price?

Homeowners pay this site nothing. The installer who calls back looks at the job and gives you the price.
