How turf estimates work

How project size affects an artificial-grass estimate

This is one of the project facts Artificial Grass Shopper asks before producing a planning estimate.

What we ask

About how many square feet is the installation area?

Area establishes the amount of turf and most quantity-based preparation, base, infill, and labor.

How it affects price

Does this change the quote?

Direct effect. Total cost usually rises with area, while very small projects may have a higher cost per square foot because mobilization and minimum charges are spread over less space.

How to evaluate it

  • A rough area is useful for an early range.
  • Ordering requires field dimensions, roll layout, seam direction, obstacles, and a waste allowance.
  • Separate areas should be measured separately.

Ask the salesperson

  • What measured area and orderable area does the quote use?
  • What waste percentage is included, and why?
  • Will unused full-width material be left with me?
