Without question: yes! Think about it – you don’t have to pay for petrol for the lawnmower, water for the grass, or for chemical solutions to keep out weeds and bugs. With regular grass, you need to do this every month (at least). You will need an active sprinkler system to ensure the grass looks green. This waste of water is not just expensive but terrible for the environment.

It may not have been worth the money 30 years ago, but artificial lawn is certainly worth the money today. It now looks very similar to actual grass and also feels quite soft to the touch. It lasts for a long time, and you don’t have to think about it.

The cost of water, petrol, and fertilisers will add up over 20 years as compared to simply using artificial turf. This is separate to the actual time spent on the lawn. An extremely conservative estimate of four hours a month adds to nearly 1000 hours of labour over 20 years. How highly do you value your time?

Typically, you can expect to pay between $35-55 per square metre for the installation. This is quite similar to the cost of the grass itself.

The price will be lower if you are combining both installation and supply from the same company. Many providers also offer a discount for bigger surface areas. See the table below as an example. There may also be a minimum fee if you have a small area to cover the cost of travel, time, and set up.

Area	1 – 100 m2	100 – 500 m2	500 – 1000 m2	1000+ m2
Installation Cost	$45 per m2	$40 per m2	$35 per m2	$30 per m2

Note that many providers do go the extra mile with the installation, and this can make your grass look incredible. So while the price of installation might be cheaper with some providers, this could simply mean a lower quality install that unravels pretty quickly, meaning you need to get it replaced sooner.

There is a large degree of variance in terms of the synthetic grass cost. While you can get low quality grass for around $10, it’s virtually a waste of money. This is often imported from China or elsewhere, and the warranty and any kind of guarantee are essentially worthless. Your grass will fade and it won’t hold up. It’s best to look for at least a medium quality artificial turf where possible. The table below will give you a better idea of average costs per square metre.

Service	Lower Quality	Medium Quality	High Quality
Synthetic Turf	$15 to $25	$25 to $40	$40 to $60
Synthetic Turf Installation	$20 to $30	$30 to $40	$40 to $60
Combined (Supply and Installation)	$40 to $50	$50 to $75	$75+
Regular Turf	$5 to $10	$10 to $20	$20 to $30

The main factor that impacts synthetic grass cost is simply the quality. This is a function of:

• Longevity – How long it lasts
• Durability – How well it holds up under foot traffic
• Appeal – How well it looks and how soft it feels to the touch
• Assurance – How strong the warranty is
• Safety – How safe it is for pets and family members

These factors affect the cost of the grass itself per square metre. There are many more technical definitions (infill, dust coating, cushioning, etc.), but they are more or less subcategories of those listed above. The length is also relevant, and this will ideally be between 20mm – 40mm for most lawns.

Obviously, the more astro turf you buy, the more it’s going to cost. The cost of installation will depend on how skilled the provider is and how much time they give to it.

Before we delve more deeply into the price, we first need to understand what we’re paying for. There are two items to keep in mind in terms of the total cost:

• Supply
• Installation

This will help us to avoid any confusion later on. Many providers offer a combined service for both supply and installation, and this may be slightly discounted for getting the two services combined.

When providers advertise a price per square metre, this is usually for both the supply and installation. The price for the grass itself will be lower. The quoted price will rarely include preparation work because the provider has no way of knowing the difficulty of this work.

The advertised synthetic grass cost assumes a workable, smooth, and flat surface. If you already have this, it will make things easier (and more affordable). You will have to pay for preparation work separately from the synthetic grass cost, unless you go to the trouble of doing it yourself.

Synthetic turf has many benefits over conventional grass. It delivers a better return on the money you spend over the long haul and requires far less maintenance.

But you still need to understand the overall costs and what factors contribute to synthetic grass cost. You will reap the biggest rewards when you select the right type of synthetic lawn for your specific area and have it installed by an industry veteran.

In general, you will pay around $60-100 per square metre for the supply and installation of synthetic turf, non-inclusive of any necessary preparation work.

Given that artificial lawn in Perth is already quite affordable, it usually makes more sense to purchase medium to high-quality grass and installation instead of cutting costs with lower quality products and services.
