Average Cost of Artificial Grass Installed per Square Foot On average, artificial grass (also known as fake or synthetic grass) installation costs between $5 to $20 per square foot in Colorado. These prices can vary depending on the quality of the grass, size of the area, and labor costs.

The lifespan of artificial grass can vary significantly, depending on several factors. On average, you can expect your artificial turf to last anywhere between 20 and 25 years. That's a lot longer than most of your home appliances! It ultimately depends on the quality and maintenance of the turf.

One of the main reasons for choosing synthetic grass is its appealing look. Both turf and artificial grass offer thick, carpet-like grass that's green all year long. Turf is the shorter of the two, while artificial grass is longer and softer, similar to blades of grass.

The upfront cost of artificial turf will equal the amount paid for installation and maintenance of a natural grass lawn in three to five years. Despite the high upfront costs of installing artificial grass, you will end up saving your wallet and your local water supplies in the long run.
