The cost of AstroTurf or artificial grass depends on the size of the area, the type of turf you choose, and how much preparation the ground requires. In the Dallas–Fort Worth area, professionally installed artificial turf can commonly cost several dollars to more than $10 per square foot, with smaller or more complex projects generally costing more per square foot. The total price can include removing existing grass, preparing and compacting the base, drainage, turf, infill, edging, labor, and cleanup. Current DFW pricing sources show that actual installed costs vary significantly from one project to another. It's also worth noting that AstroTurf is a brand name, while many homeowners use the term to refer to artificial grass in general. For an accurate price, EcoTurf recommends evaluating the actual property rather than relying on a standard per-square-foot estimate. EcoTurf provides artificial turf installation throughout the Dallas–Fort Worth area and handles projects with its own in-house installation crews. The company says it has installed more than 200,000 square feet of artificial turf across DFW and offers a 15-year turf warranty. So, if you're considering artificial turf for a lawn, pet area, playground, or other outdoor space, the best way to determine the cost is to have the area measured and receive a project-specific estimate.

No. A lawn aerator is only necessary for those trying to grow grass from seed. Astro turf is rather low-maintenance in comparison!
