How To Use This Artificial Grass Calculator

The purpose of this artificial grass cost calculator is to give you a quick and easy estimate for how much you need to budget for this type of job.

With just a few basic details, you’ll be closer to understanding the cost of an artificial grass installation in your circumstances.

Measure Your Lawn Area

The main thing that you need to do is measure the area where you want to have the artificial grass installed.

You don’t need to be exact at this point of the journey, but you’ll get a better idea about the cost of laying artificial grass if you’re as accurate as possible.

If the space you’re looking to install artificial grass isn’t a simple rectangle, then you can get a quick idea by measuring the longest side and widest width. To get a more exact number, split up the space into smaller rectangular areas, measure the length and width of each of them, then add the length and width of each together.

If you’ve got imperial measurements, then you can convert from feet to metres by grabbing a calculator and dividing the number you have by 3.28.

Choose Artificial Grass Quality

Next up, you’ll have to select the quality of artificial grass that you want to get installed.

Your choice here has a significant impact on the overall cost of the project:

Budget artificial grass costs the least but aren’t typically suitable for residential projects. They tend to have a lower pile height and density, which translates into them looking more artificial and being less durable.
Medium quality artificial grass strikes a good balance between affordability and meeting the needs of most homeowners, with improved durability and a more realistic appearance than budget options.
Premium artificial grass costs around twice as much as medium quality artificial grass. It has a longer pile height and is denser though, which means that it’s much more durable cheaper options. It also looks more visually appealing than some of the cheaper types of artificial grass on the market.
Elite artificial grass is the highest-quality option you choose. While it comes a higher price point, it’s worth considering if you want the most realistic looking artificial grass (that is often confused with real grass!) or need the space to be highly durable.

Medium quality artificial grass tends to be the most popular option amongst homeowners in the UK. But what’s right in your case will come down to what you intend to use the space for and how realistic you want it to look.

Adding a Weed Membrane

Adding a weed membrane is the next choice you need to make.

This is typically something that an artificial grass installer will recommend, as it will help keep your artificial grass as low-maintenance as possible.

But it isn’t always necessary: If you’re laying artificial grass over something like concrete or paving stones, then you could consider skipping this.

If you’re trying to keep costs in budget, then you could also skip this addition — but you might end up regretting it later if it’s not being installed over an impermeable surface.

Clearing the Area

While artificial grass installers typically include basic preparation of the ground in their quotes, you’ll have to budget extra for the removal of existing grass (real or artificial).

This is something that some homeowners opt to do themselves to lower the overall cost of an artificial grass installation, so we’ve included it as something you can remove in the artificial grass installation cost calculator above.

Keep in mind that you might be advised by an expert to do additional groundwork preparation before installing artificial grass.
