Artificial grass installation projects of less than 500 sq.ft. could cost almost double the amount per square foot compared to larger jobs. The main reason for the higher price is the amount of fixed costs that go into signing, initiating, and completing the job. For example, it would take just as many estimated trips to approve a smaller turf job as a larger one. The smaller job requires the same or more advanced arrangements as it lasts only 1-2 days. Some clients prefer to hire local gardeners for smaller projects. However, they will have to get all the proper equipment and learn how to install artificial grass. Often, installers who do not focus on artificial turf deliver mediocre quality.
