How Much Does Artificial Turf Cost in Sacramento? The Complete 2026 Guide

Short answer: Artificial turf in the Sacramento area is priced by the square foot, and the rate depends on which turf tier you choose. Our current installed prices for every tier are on our pricing page, and they are the same in every city we serve. Your exact price comes from a written estimate after we measure your yard and see what it needs.

Where to find our current prices

We keep all of our prices in one place so they are always up to date: our pricing page. It lists the installed price for each tier, what's included, the project minimum, and putting green pricing.

A few things worth knowing from that page:

• Installed prices include removing your existing lawn, base prep and compaction, the turf, infill, labor and cleanup.
• The minimum project size is 400 square feet (1,000 square feet in Loomis, Lincoln and Auburn).
• Our 2026 prices are held for estimates signed by December 31.
• Homeowners 55 and up can ask about a senior discount at the estimate.

Our three turf tiers

Essential

For simple, flat yards without pets. Comes with silica sand infill and a 1-year craftsmanship warranty.

Premium / Pet

For most homes and for dog owners. Comes with odor-control pet infill and a 2-year craftsmanship warranty.

Elite

For front yards and a fuller look. Comes with odor-control or cooling infill and a 3-year craftsmanship warranty. The price within the Elite range depends on the turf you pick.

All of our turf also carries a 15-year manufacturer warranty. For putting greens we use Elite putting green turf, which is priced separately. You can see the starting price on the pricing page.

What can change your price

The pricing page shows the rate for a standard site. Some yards need more work, and that is spelled out in your written estimate. Things that can raise the price:

• Slopes or uneven ground
• Tree roots or stumps
• Old concrete or debris that has to be hauled away
• Removing old sprinklers
• Narrow access, like a side yard you can only reach through a gate
• Curved or complicated shapes

Flat, open and larger areas tend to cost less per square foot. Add-ons such as concrete mow strips, pavers or a putting green are priced on their own line.

What real projects have cost

How to compare quotes

The lowest number on paper can leave out the work that decides how your lawn holds up. Ask every installer the same questions, and get the answers in writing:

• How deep will you dig, and what goes back in for the base?
• Is the base compacted in layers?
• Is there a weed barrier?
• How are the edges and seams secured?
• What infill will you use?
• Is removing and hauling away my old lawn included?
• Will your own crew do the work? Are you licensed and insured?

You can see how we build every lawn, step by step, on our process page.

How our estimate works

1. You call or send a request. We set up a time to come out.
2. We visit your yard. We measure, look at access, slopes and drainage, and show you samples from each tier.
3. You get a written price. It covers everything your site needs. It only changes if the scope changes.
4. You reserve your install date. If you decide to go ahead, we ask for a deposit of 10% of your contract, up to $1,000.

Financing is available for qualified buyers, subject to credit approval. See our financing page for details.
