How to price artificial turf

Artificial turf is priced per installed square foot — about $8–$16 for standard landscape turf, $12–$22 for premium, and $15–$30 for putting greens. Most of the labor is in the base: excavation, aggregate, compaction, and edging.

Skimping on base prep is why turf jobs fail (wrinkles, drainage, weeds). Quote a proper sub-base and infill, and add for demolition of existing surfaces, complex shapes, and drainage work.
