What does artificial grass cost in San Diego?

Artificial grass is priced per square foot installed, and the total depends on your turf grade, how much base prep and drainage your yard needs, and any extras like putting greens or pet systems. Because every yard is different, we always start with a free on-site measurement and give you a clear, itemized written quote, with no hidden fees and no obligation.

Is artificial grass worth it?

For most San Diego homeowners, yes. Turf stays green through every drought and heat wave, eliminates mowing and watering, and pays for itself over time in saved water and upkeep. It also stays clean and mud-free for kids and pets.

How long does artificial grass last?

Quality turf installed over a proper, compacted base typically lasts 15 years or more. The base is what makes the difference, which is why we never cut corners on prep.

Artificial grass vs. natural sod

Sod gives you a real lawn but needs ongoing water, mowing, and care. Artificial grass costs more up front but eliminates that upkeep and the water bill, staying perfect year-round. We help you weigh both for your space and budget.

Does artificial grass drain well?

Yes, when it’s installed right. Our engineered base and drainage layers move water away fast, so there are no puddles, even after heavy San Diego rain. This is especially important for pet areas.

Is it safe for pets and kids?

Our turf is non-toxic and lead-free, and our free-draining bases and antimicrobial infill keep pet areas clean and fresh. For play areas we can add shock-absorbing pads for fall protection.

How We Install

Proper Base Prep Is Everything

A perfect lawn starts under the turf. Here’s how we build one that lasts 15+ years.

1

Site Prep & Excavation

We remove the old lawn and excavate to the right depth so your new turf sits flush and drains properly.

2

Engineered Base

We install and compact a crushed-rock base, the most important step for a flat, firm, long-lasting lawn that drains.

3

Drainage Built In

Our base and optional drainage layers move water away fast, so there are no puddles, even after heavy rain.

4

Premium Turf & Infill

We roll out premium, UV-stable turf, seam it invisibly, secure the edges, and brush in the right infill for support and cooling.
