How Pricing Works

When it comes to the cost of artificial turf installation in Austin, Texas and surrounding areas, several factors come into play. Lone Star Turf, a leading artificial turf installer in Austin, Texas, provides insights into the pricing considerations:

Turf Quality

Artificial turf is available in various qualities, ranging from basic to premium. Turf, such as those made of polypropylene, monoproplene, or nylon, can offer enhanced durability, a realistic appearance, and advanced features like UV resistance and drainage systems. Lone Star Turf emphasizes that the price alone does not determine the quality of the turf. Always ask to see lab results for lead test on the turf you choose to go with. Most installers use cheap turf which contains lead. If they hand you a kindergartner certification of a lead test and not actually lab results, the turf has likely never been actually tested.

Turf Quantity

The size of the area to be covered with artificial turf directly affects the cost. Turf is typically sold in rolls that are 15 feet wide and 100 feet long. The shape of your yard can influence the overall price, as irregular shapes may require more precise cuts and additional seams. Lone Star Turf specializes in custom fitting the turf in your backyard.

Site Preparation

Proper site preparation is crucial as it acts as the foundation for your turf. Lone Star Turf stresses the importance of not cutting corners during this stage, as it can lead to issues down the road. Thorough site preparation ensures optimal performance and longevity. This is where the “cheap contractor” cuts corners.

Labor Costs

The complexity of the project and the location can impact labor costs. Larger or intricate installations may require a team of experienced installers, which can increase the labor cost. Lone Star Turf emphasizes their expertise in handling various project complexities.

Additional Materials

In addition to the turf itself, there are other materials required for installation. This includes infill, which stabilizes the turf and provides cushioning. The type and amount of infill needed depend on the specific turf and installation requirements. Lone Star Turf uses steel edging instead of bender boards for superior longevity. Seaming tape is also used to ensure seamless joins between different sections of turf.

Accessibility

If the installation site poses challenges in terms of accessibility, such as rooftop or limited backyard space, additional labor or equipment may be required. Lone Star Turf has the expertise and resources to handle such situations efficiently.

Warranty and Maintenance

Lone Star Turf offers warranties on their installations, highlighting their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. The length and coverage of the warranty may vary, making it an important aspect to consider when comparing prices.

After suffering too long with a wilted wood deck the guys at Lone Star Artificial Turf transformed our backyard with a zero-scape wonderland! We are thrilled with their work and the installation utilizing natural stone and granite. Our friends have marveled at the transformation and we are grateful the landscape has come alive!

We own a vacation home in the Austin area, that needed new drainage. Great communication, on time arrivals, great job done. Next up artificial turf!

Personnel at Lone Star Artificial Turf were professional and efficient. They installed turf and a putting green in my back yard in only 2.5 days. They readily made a few adjustments as requested during the install. Yard now looks amazing especially after the brutal summer of 2023 killed almost half of the grass. I highly recommend them.

Lone Star Turf helped us turn part of our property that had looked pretty shabby for a few years due to the ongoing watering restrictions in our region into a more useable and attractive looking area, using good quality materials and a skilled work crew all at competitive prices, check some before and after snaps.

We had our turf installed last month and I am absolutely in love with it. My only regret is that I did not do my entire yard. I only did a portion, but I cannot wait to have them do the other side. I absolutely love it my kids love it. The guys were 10 out of 10 professional fast efficient. Just amazing if you’re on the fence about doing it just do it.
