"Rule of Thumb"
Self Installation
A good 'rule of thumb' to use is that it will cost 5-10 times more to install synthetic turf in your yard than it would cost you to install new sod.
For example, if you estimate that it will cost you $500 to sod your yard yourself. Synthetic turf will likely cost you somewhere between $2,500 and $5,000 to install it yourself.
Professional Installation
The same 'rule of thumb' holds true when comparing a professional sod installation versus a professional synthetic turf installation. For example, if it will cost you $800 to have a professional put sod your yard, synthetic turf will cost you somewhere between $4,000 and $8,000 to have a professional do it.
Yard Size Matters
The smaller your yard, the closer to the 10 to 1 relationship you will be. The larger your yard, the closer to the 5 to 1 relationship you will be. Click here - to read Why Synthetic Lawn is More Expensive Than Natural Grass.
