Artificial grass installation in Arlington offers homeowners a durable, attractive alternative to natural lawns for residential yards, pet areas, putting greens, pool surrounds, patios, and more. Pricing varies based on several factors including the size of your project, the quality of turf selected, site preparation needs, and existing lawn removal. For a typical 400 sq ft residential yard, expect a range of $3,200 to $3,600, while a 1,000 sq ft installation generally runs between $8,000 and $9,000. Understanding what drives these costs helps you plan your budget confidently.

| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Artificial Grass Installation | From $8/sq ft | Arlington lawns worn thin by oak shade, August heat and cracking clay, rebuilt as dense and natural-looking turf. The swelling clay is cut out, a crushed limestone base is compacted and graded to drain off the slab, and every edge is staked along the fence. Pile height, blade weight and infill are written into the quote before we begin. |
| Pet Turf & Dog Run Installation | From $10/sq ft | Dog runs for Arlington backyards, built on a fast-draining base with odor-control infill. A quick hose-down clears the surface, the run stays green through triple-digit weeks, and muddy paw prints stop coming in after every spring thunderstorm. |
| Putting Green Installation | From $15/sq ft | Backyard putting greens with a true roll for Arlington golfers who would rather practice at home. Breaks are shaped into the compacted base, dedicated putting turf goes down, and a fringe collar and cups are laid out to match the shots you actually miss. |
| Pool Surround Turf | From $9/sq ft | Splash-tolerant turf for the strips and corners around Arlington backyard pools. It stays soft for bare feet, keeps grass clippings out of the water, drains away from the pool shell, and is locked along the coping and the deck so wind and hail cannot lift it. |
| Patio, Balcony & Turf-Paver Strips | From $9/sq ft | Turf for townhome patios, rooftop decks and apartment balconies near UT Arlington and downtown. Green joints between large pavers too. A drainage mat goes down on every slab, cuts follow the edges exactly, and nothing traps water after a storm. |
| Playground & School Turf | From $10/sq ft | Safety-minded play turf for private schools, daycares, churches and neighborhood association parks across Arlington. Shock pads are matched to the fall height of the equipment, and the surface is ready again within hours of a thunderstorm instead of turning to mud. |
| Sports, Gym & Court Turf | From $8/sq ft | Training turf for Arlington garage gyms, batting cages, agility areas and backyard sport courts. A dense, low pile takes sled pushes and dropped weights, and every layout is cut and lined around the equipment and the sport you play. |
| Commercial Artificial Grass Installation | Free commercial estimate | Commercial turf for Arlington offices, storefronts and apartment amenity decks. Restaurant patios near the Entertainment District and neighborhood association common areas are covered too. Projects are scoped, phased and documented for property managers and boards. |
| Turf Repair & Seam Repair | From $350 | Hail-battered edges, split seams, low spots where the clay settled, and fibers melted by reflected window glare. Each area is cut out, patched, re-leveled and re-infilled, with photos you can keep for a storm claim. |
| Turf Cleaning & Pet Odor Treatment | From $250 | Deep cleaning for installed turf, as a one-time visit or a seasonal plan across Arlington. Enzyme treatment breaks down pet odor in the heat, post oak leaves and acorns are cleared, the fibers are power-brushed upright, and the infill is topped up. |
| Turf Removal, Replacement & Lawn Conversion | From $2/sq ft removal | Faded old turf or a struggling Arlington lawn removed and replaced by one crew, from tear-out to final brushing. Bermuda and St. Augustine both come up clean. The old material is hauled away, the clay is graded, and a crushed limestone base is rebuilt and compacted before the new roll goes down. |
| Artificial Grass Walls & Vertical Greenery | From $18/sq ft | Green-wall looks without irrigation, framed and UV-rated for the North Texas sun. Artificial grass and ivy panels for restaurant patios, office lobbies, venues near the stadiums, courtyards and backyard feature walls. |
What Affects the Price
- Area size and yard layout : Larger projects typically cost less per square foot due to efficiency, while smaller or irregularly shaped areas may have higher per-square-foot costs. Complex layouts with multiple sections or obstacles require more detailed planning.
- Turf product quality and face weight : Premium synthetic turf with higher face weight (density) and realistic appearance costs more than basic options. The durability and performance you choose directly impact your total investment.
- Base preparation and soil conditions : Arlington's local soil conditions may require varying depths of base compaction and drainage preparation. Poor drainage or uneven terrain increases preparation costs but ensures your turf performs properly long-term.
- Removal of existing lawn or old turf : If you're converting from natural grass or replacing old artificial turf, removal and disposal add to your project cost. Starting with a clean slate ensures proper installation and better results.

Pricing FAQ
Why do artificial grass installation costs vary so much between projects?
Several factors influence pricing: the square footage of your space, the quality and type of synthetic turf you select, how much site preparation is needed, soil and drainage conditions, whether existing grass or turf must be removed, and the accessibility of your yard for equipment and materials. A luxury putting green requires different materials and precision than a residential lawn, which affects cost. Your specific needs determine the final price.

What is the cost difference between residential artificial grass and pet turf?
Pet turf is engineered to handle more wear, drainage demands, and odor control, which typically costs a bit more per square foot than standard residential turf. Starting prices reflect this difference, but the exact cost depends on your specific needs, yard size, and any additional treatments like odor management that you choose.
How much does it cost to remove old artificial grass or natural lawn?
Turf removal and lawn conversion starts at $2 per square foot, though the final cost depends on what is being removed, how it will be disposed of, and site conditions. This is often the first step in a full lawn conversion project. Call (817) 670-4823 to discuss your removal needs and get a specific quote.
