What turf costs by yard size

How much is artificial turf per square foot in Dallas Fort Worth?

Installed artificial grass price per square foot in Dallas Fort Worth runs about $8 to $12 in 2026. That is the full installed number, not a materials only figure: it covers demolition and haul off, base rock, compaction, drainage, the turf itself, infill, edging and labor. Turf price per square foot drops on larger yards because mobilization and base prep are spread over more area, and rises on small, cut up spaces or anything needing extra drainage work. If you searched for AstroTurf pricing, see what AstroTurf costs per square foot and what the brand name actually refers to.

How much is 500 square feet of artificial turf?

At typical Dallas–Fort Worth installed pricing, 500 square feet lands in the low-to-mid four figures. Small jobs carry a higher per-square-foot rate than large ones because mobilization, base material delivery and crew time are close to fixed regardless of size. Run your exact figure through the estimator above.

How much is 1,000 square feet of artificial turf?

A thousand square feet is the most common backyard size we quote in DFW, and it is the point where the per-square-foot rate starts working in your favor. Turf grade, base depth and access all move the number — a yard reachable only through a narrow gate costs more to build than one with driveway access.

What is the average cost of artificial turf installed in Dallas?

Local DFW installers generally publish installed pricing well below the national calculators, which tend to quote coastal labor rates. The gap is real and it is worth knowing before you compare quotes. Our estimator gives you a DFW-specific installed range, and if you want the reasoning behind the numbers, read our Dallas–Fort Worth turf pricing guide.

Why does pet turf cost more than a standard lawn?

Because the parts you cannot see get upgraded: deeper drainage-rated base, flow-through backing and antimicrobial infill instead of raw silica sand. Those three changes are what keep a dog yard from smelling in year two. See pet turf installation for the full spec.

How much does a backyard putting green cost?

Putting greens are priced separately from lawn turf because a true-rolling green needs roughly eight inches of compacted base instead of four, plus shaping, cups and fringe. See putting green installation for what drives the number.

Is the estimate the price I will actually pay?

It is a genuine installed range, not a teaser. What moves a final quote is site-specific: access, slope, demolition of what is there now, drainage work over clay, and edging against existing hardscape. We walk the yard and put the real number in writing before anything starts — and it does not change mid-job.

Why does the price per square foot change with the size of my yard?

Because square footage drives the estimate but the fixed costs do not scale with it. Mobilization, haul off of the old lawn and equipment time cost roughly the same on 300 square feet as on 1,200, so a small yard carries them across fewer feet and the per foot rate reads higher. Product choice moves it too: synthetic turf for a dog run, a putting surface and a front lawn are three different specifications at three different price points. That is where artificial grass cost actually lives, not in the headline rate.
