Making the Switch to Artificial Grass? Here’s What You Need to Know
Thinking about upgrading your outdoor space with artificial grass? Whether it's for a residential lawn, commercial property, or a putting green, understanding the costs involved will help you make an informed decision. At BiltRight Turf, we believe in transparency, so this guide breaks down the typical costs for professional artificial grass installation in California.
Before we dive into pricing, let’s briefly walk through what the installation process entails. A professional installation includes:
- Excavation and removal of existing grass or dirt (typically 3-4 inches)
- Grading and compacting a proper base for drainage and stability
- Installation of the synthetic turf with secure seams and edging
- Adding infill for durability and a natural look
- Final grooming and power-brushing for a seamless finish

Additional Factors That Can Affect Installation Costs
While the pricing chart provides a standard estimate, additional factors can impact the final cost of your artificial turf project:
- Putting Greens: Requires additional fine DG base and intricate cup setting for proper leveling.
- Restricted Access to Project Area: If the installation area is difficult to reach, labor costs may increase.
- Gopher Wire Installation: Recommended for areas with gopher activity to prevent turf damage.
- Additional Edging (Bender Board or Concrete Mow Strips): Enhances the finish but adds to overall project cost.
- Drainage Enhancements: Necessary for areas with poor natural drainage.
- Extra Irrigation Work: If a tree or specific plants need to retain irrigation, modifications may be required.
- Excavation Beyond 3-4 Inches: Additional labor and disposal costs apply if the existing ground requires deeper excavation.
