What Affects the Price
- Area size and yard layout : Larger installations generally cost less per square foot due to economies of scale. Complex layouts with multiple shapes, slopes, or obstacles may require additional labor and material cuts.
- Turf product quality and face weight : Premium artificial grass with higher face weight (density) offers greater durability and a more natural appearance, but costs more than basic options. We offer a range of products to fit different budgets and performance needs.
- Base preparation and soil conditions : Charleston's soil composition and drainage patterns affect how much base material (rock, sand, or aggregate) is needed. Proper base depth ensures longevity and prevents settling or water pooling.
- Removal of existing lawn or old turf : If you have an established lawn or worn artificial turf, removal and disposal add to the project cost. We handle this efficiently to prepare your yard for a fresh installation.
- Site access and equipment needs : Narrow gates, steep slopes, rooftops, balconies, or limited vehicle access may require specialized equipment or additional labor, affecting your final cost.
- Infill type and amount : Different infill materials (silica sand, crumb rubber, or alternatives) have varying costs and performance characteristics. The depth of infill depends on your intended use (residential, pet, sports, etc.).
