Synthetic Grass Price Guidelines
When planning to buy synthetic grass, whether it be for landscaping, sporting fields or playgrounds, you will be faced with a host of brands and companies offering an array of products at varying prices. This guide was initially going to aim at bringing together as many synthetic grass prices from the various brands as possible to help you to make your buying decision.
However, it appears that very few synthetic grass makers are willing to disclose their prices online, preferring customers to commit to contacting them for a “free consultation”. I was able to find a few makers who have advertised their prices and you should be able to use these prices as a guideline when shopping around for your synthetic grass.
I will break things down into 3 broad categories : landscaping; sporting fields, and playgrounds.
The 4 companies in question are SYNLawn, NewGrass, Ameriturf and PolyTurf. All four synthetic grass manufacturers have quoted prices for their various landscaping synthetic lawns, SYNLawn has a playground grass and NewGrass has a sporting field grass while PolyTurf lists a playground turf as well as a choice of two types of sporting artificial turf.
Note that all of these prices are for the synthetic grass product itself - installation is not included here and will vary from location to location depending on size, difficulty of terrain and the installation team itself.

AmeriTurf
AmeriTurf has three different types of Landscaping synthetic grass, namely AmeriTurf Rye, AmeriTurf Bermuda and AmeriTurf Fescue. Of these three I was only able to track down a price for the AmeriTurf Fescue which was $2.50 s/f to $3.10 s/f depending on the size of the area that is going to be re-grassed.

You can fin out more about the PolyTurf range of products by visiting the PolyTurf website where each type of synthetic grass mentioned here is given a full description so you will be able to decide exactly what kind will suit your needs.
Further information about these 4 synthetic grass manufacturers can be found at their respective websites. Or, armed with the guide of what you can expect to pay for synthetic grass you might start looking around at some local artificial grass suppliers.
As well as the price of the synthetic grass itself you should also be aware of the price of artificial grass installation too.

Thanks for trying to clarify an important issue.
However, of the three ompanies you mentioned, SYNLawn is the only Manufacturer. The others buy their grass from a factory or perhaps a distributor.
SYNLawn is the largestmanufacturer in the country of synthetic grass. By a giant majority.
Moreover, the product categories you have listed don’t mean much.
Sportig field grass is not really designed for landscaping- it’s light weight and filled with rubber crumbs and sand- and totally different than all the SYNLawn products you listed- we make products such as these “sporting field” products- but we don’t use them very often for landscaping.
They are generally the cheapest and therefore lowest quality products available in the landscape world.
COntrary to what you are saying, there are not a vast number of syntheticgrass manufacturers- dependig on your definition, there are just a small handful- and most of them make products that are rather indistinguishable from one another- some have features that are slightly different- but for the most part- they are generic.
SYNlawn products are the highest quality in the world, the best looking and well recognized nationwide and internationally as the industry leader.
The list of major marquis projects featuring SYNLawn products around the country and the world is long and impressive. No other company can put together a list that evern pretends to aproach this list.
All the firsts in the industry coe from SYNLawn and professionals know the brand and the name and the quality that it stands for.
You are right that there are a plethora of artificial grass installers out there- and that most of them will not disclose their pricing on line- in many cases, they won’t even disclose what products they sell,ro what their origin is. That should come accros as most suspicious to the consumer and it should raise major red flags.
It’s understandable that some sellig something might not want you to know that ten other people down the street sell it too, but that’s just the way it goes- if you are selling a comodity or something very generic, then you have to be upfront about that.
On te other hand, if you are selling something special or unique and with tremendous value, then you don’t have to worry about putting yourname on it!
Anyway, thanks for the review and thanks for choosing us as one of the companies- we do make it a point to provide customers with the best and most accurate information posible- since purchasing synthetic grass is a significant purchase- done right it can be an amazing experience with tremendous value- doing it wrong can leave a sting!

You should also do a guide about the differences in the manufacturing process of synthetic grass. In my research some grass is made of 100% nylon other 100% polyethylene and others are a 50/50 blend. My research also found that it is the nylon related products that are having all the problems with the lead scares recently.

Synthetic grass is an intriguing idea (no watering, no weeding, no mowing, yay) but at those prices, I can’t imagine it being economical for many homeowners. That costs as much as installing hardwood floors, and for most of us, our yards are a lot bigger than our houses.

Installation needs to be done properly, and with proper ground preparation beforehand. A common method of installation is to remove some soil and replace it with aggregate, which is compacted. A layer of grit sand is placed on top of that and also compacted, before laying the grass.

Granted, synthetic grass may be a more expensive option compared to natural grass from a installation view point. However, if you look at the overall long term costs between natural (mowing, watering, weeding, inconsistent growth and seasonal) compared to synthetic (No mowing, No watering, No weeding, consistent levels all year round and maybe the fortnightly brush) i can assure you’ll never know understand why it you so long to get the turf installed.

Hello, can you tell me what would be involved in installing this type of ground covering? My husband seems to think this is an enormous undertaking. I have not found information that talks about this process. Thanks, CB

Hows this for a question… major 5 star hotel in Cairo wants to install artificial grass about 600 m2., anyone have any idea of the best type to go with? Recommend a good company that isnt as far away as the US, as I will have to import it…
Thanks,

I am interested in daycare playground use and was wondering if anyone knows if there is any benefit to either using nylon based artificial turf over polyethylene based? I am being advised by a local installer that nylon based is indeed a superior product for this use. Thanks.
