Artificial Grass Installation Cost

Clearly when getting quotes you will be looking at a number of grasses and they will have different per square meter prices. Whilst many grasses from different manufacturers will look very similar they may have different attributes, less obvious to the naked eye - such as UV protection. However, bigger variations in cost can occur when installation is included too and as most enquiries are about the artificial grass installation costs this is generally for a supply and fit basis.

We would advise against being tempted to try to purchase your own grass and then finding another company to fit it. If you are going to buy your own grass you should be installing it to so you have total accountability.

Most companies, especially specialist artificial grass companies such as ourselves, will not want to install a product they are not familiar with. Firstly, they are unlikely to provide a guarantee and will have some reservations about the quality and compatibility with fixtures if the only thing which was purchased was the grass itself.

If really is a false economy trying to procure your own grass top then find someone else to fit it, what you think you have saved in materials will be lost with installation charges reflecting this.

When there is a spread of costs form multiple quotes again be mindful that there is a lot involved in installing artificial grass properly, especially for a large area. Removal of existing turf and ground, if not dug down deep enough, could start to shave a tonne or two of from sub-base materials required and the amount of materials to be disposed of and this can account for a few hundred pounds in difference yet, this will not give you value for money as this installation is more likely to bring issues such as water logging which is one of the reasons you wanted to move to and artificial lawn in the first place.

Cost of Artificial Grass Compared to Real Grass

Whilst comparing quotes from one artificial grass company to another has a number of considerations the first stage for most people wanting to remove their existing lawn will be down to simply being fed up with the mowing, the maintaining, the poor aesthetics of their lawn, or the cleaning up after their pet - or all of the above!

However, there is also a very strong cost argument in favour of fake grass  when looking at the cost of artificial grass compared to real grass. The caveat to this is that it should be looked at from a lifetime perspective clearly no the cost of one summer's worth of looking after a real lawn compared to the full installation cost of fitting a new synthetic lawn.

Whilst we guarantee out artificial lawns for 10 years we would expect them to last well up to  15 years, possibly 20 years and so it should be this figure of savings which should be used to make a cost comparison.

If you employ the outside services of a gardener or lawn care company then your break even point is likely to be quite quick but even doing things yourself and even allocating minimal wage to the the hours you spent over the years looking after your lawn will provide a very compelling cost case for artificial grass. That is added to about 15 years of material costs for weed killer, pesticides, scarifying and watering to keep your lawn looking good is likely to be way over what your spend getting your artificial lawn installed - think of all the time you've got back!

Cost of Astro Turf

For larger artificial pitch installations the costs of having an astro turf facility can be looked at from a variety of angles too.

For those of you who may be in looking to update your existing 3G astroturf to  a new 4G one for starters you will not be paying for patch repairs on a regular basis, you will not need to pay for the in-fill nor the service charge for spreading it out on the pitch. You will be saving on cleaning of changing rooms as there will not be deposits of sand or rubber crumbs everywhere.

Organisations looking to install their first astro turf pitch should be looking at the opportunity cost comparisons. What revenues can be brought in? What improvements to performance and results can be gained by having more training time available on a 4G Astroturf pitch all year round?

Frequently Asked Artificial Grass Coventry Questions:

  • Do you offer a supply only of artificial grass?

    Yes, we do. As mentioned our grass is superior to many others due to our choice of manufacturer and understanding of what makes up a superior artificial grass but having a great roll of grass does not guarantee you will have an excellent artificial grass lawn. 

    The quality of the installation will have the biggest impact on longevity and enjoyment, or frustration, with your new fake turf. 

    Whilst you may look at saving costs by trying to do parts yourself this could be a false economy. We understand it can be hard to put off an avid DIYer but there will be no guarantee issued and ultimately the buck will stop with you.

    Most artificial grass installers who install larger amounts of grass will have favourable rates with their suppliers so the rate at which they get the same grass as you might be looking to source. Clearly if getting artificial grass down instead of your regular grass is a priority and money is tight, then by all means let us know and we can recommend what may be the most suitable based on your budget.

  • How to select the best artificial grass?

    We can help you with this process. As mentioned earlier what ends up being one person's best artificial grass may not be another's. The primary differentiator should be how the grass will be used i.e. its primary purpose. For example, a nursery, as well as the grass, may want to have a rubberised underlay beneath it to help provide some additional protection should a child fall over on it. This will influence what artificial turf would be best to lay on top. A general multi-sports pitch will want a shorter pile than a football-only pitch to allow a hockey ball to slide along quickly or a tennis ball to bounce up enough. 

    Heavily walked on areas such as a balcony or terrace at a pub would again be better off with a short pile making it easy to clean and not having longer piles look messy by being continuously flattened down. 

    Dog owners would benefit from a mid-height pile making it easy to clean up after their dog. A different artificial grass would be best for one set of circumstances than another but with our range, we have got all the bases covered and can assist you as much as possible regarding the best choice for you and your budget.

  • What is the cost of fitting artificial grass in Coventry?

    For excellent quality, artificial grass to be fully installed using the best procedures, accessory materials, membrane, and proper drainage you would be looking at a £75-80 per m2 cost for an area of at least 30m2. This is when it is being fitted as a replacement for an existing natural lawn where its removal will also be factored into the cost. 

    Price can vary a bit from this depending on exactly which grass you have selected. Other factors which could influence the price following a survey would be the shape of the area being covered. Where you have a garden that has multiple flower beds or trees you want the grass to go around, these irregular curves and circular cut-outs will require many more fittings and more intricate cutting and jointing.

    Much larger areas will, as a general rule will have a lower price per m2 as some economies of scale can come into play.

    For larger astro turf playing surfaces pricing will be following a survey once we know exactly what is required and how the artificial turf will be finished and edged off.

  • Can artificial grass be fitted on top of concrete?

    Yes, it can. 

    The is becoming more common in business environments, commercial and retail premises.

    A number of larger businesses have their own canteens which can open up outside and allow tables and chairs to be set up there - artificial grass is proving a popular addition.

    As more businesses as taking greater ownership of staff welfare having breaks in a more pleasant environment can be achieved by using artificial grass to reduce the amount of barren concrete that staff lookover is popular. Before installation, it is worth checking the drainage just so that the artificial grass doesn't create a marshland!

    The same principles are being taken on board by a number of businesses that have customers - typically there to eat or drink. Where previously outdoor tables and benches rested on concrete, a dull patio, or simply a graveled surface transforming this will artificial grass can completely transform the area and make it much more appealing to customers and elevate your brand image in the process.


  • Will artificial grass fade over time?

    That will depend on the artificial grass you choose.

    Our grasses won't as they have been treated with a coating that provides protection against Ultra Violet light which is the waves of light emitted from the sun which cause items to fade in the sun. This is an aspect that may cause price differences from one grass to another as cheaper grasses may not have this coating. Our artificial grass is guaranteed for 10 years from fading.

  • What artificial grass maintenance do you recommend?

    Whilst maintenance requirements for the grass itself are low, if you want to maintain the aesthetics here are some tips:

    Regularly remove items that have fallen or been blown onto your artificial lawns such as leave and twigs which can degrade and engrain themselves into your turf. Using a brush, soft rake, or leave blower/vacuum should do the trick. If part of your lawn is in a very shaded area and much is allowed to build up moss could grow from it. applying a biodegradable anti- moss treatment will be fine - do not use bleach or other acid-based cleaning products. Other chemicals to keep away are oils, solvents, or fuels as they can damage the blades. Likewise, extreme heat can also damage your grass so cigarettes, barbeques, or fireworks where hot elements could drop onto your grass will cause blades to melt and fuse together. For snow and frost, these will not cause any damage so these can simply be left to melt away naturally.

    Most of the care advise is fairly common sense and if followed you will enjoy your grass for many years

  • Do I need to keep brushing in sand into my artificial grass?

    Adding sand on top of your artificial grass as a final step is something that other artificial grass suppliers and installers may still do. This practice is generally associated with sports pitches and was something that needed to be done on a more regular basis for these astroturf pitches however, our domestic grasses do not, and nor do our 4G artificial turf sports pitches. We provide a no-fill 4G pitch which also means no additional small rubber crumbs need to be added and brushed in either. These practises are generally associated with 2G and 3G artificial grass pitches.
