What does artificial grass cost?

We always aim to work closely with you to find ways to save time and costs where possible. For new builds, we may suggest delaying the construction of fences or gates to provide clearer access for our digger, making the process more efficient. Whenever feasible, we use our digger to ensure the job is completed as effectively as possible. Our experienced team of installers is equipped to handle even the most challenging sites, including those with limited access or sloped terrain. In such cases, we’ve successfully used methods like conveyors to transport materials, ensuring smooth and timely project completion.

The cost of installation depends on the complexity and size of the area, as well as any site-specific factors. For a professional installation, we offer the following ballpark estimates:

  • Direct installation on a prepared base $120-$180/m².
  • Conversion of an existing lawn (including full excavation, base preparation, and artificial grass installation): $180-$280/m².
  • Small areas under 20m²: $220-$290/m².

Please note that these figures are only estimates and exclude GST. The final cost can vary based on factors such as the product you choose, the location, shape, and accessibility of the site, and any technical requirements for the installation. To help you get a better idea of costs, we offer two options:
