Artificial Turf Cost Calculator
Put in your square footage and see the honest all-in range, split into turf, base, infill, and labor. No email, no quote form, no installer calling you back. The number an installer makes you ask for.
Estimates use MowFree's 2026 per-square-foot cost data (materials, base, infill, and labor), reviewed every quarter. Small yards run higher per foot because of crew minimums; large open yards run lower.
How the calculator works
It multiplies your area by a per-square-foot range for the tier and install type you pick, then adds removal and pet upgrades if you check them. Professional figures include turf, base, infill, and labor. DIY figures are materials only, before your own time. See the full breakdown on thecost per square footpage, or theinstallation costpillar for what each layer buys.
