The installation does not relate to the cost itself. You will pay between $30 – $50 per square metre. The price correlates to its quality. And the quality depends on:
- Size – From 10mm to 50mm. The typical range is about 20mm – 35mm.
- Durability – How resistant it is to being tramped repetitively and how well it retains its shape and colour.
- Longevity – Related to durability, it should last at least 15 years without losing shape and often longer.
- Reflection – Low-quality synthetic turf tends to reflect the sunlight and just looks fake. High-quality artificial lawn retains its quality of colour and appearance.
- Material – The 3 main materials are nylon, polyethylene, and polypropylene. Nylon is the most expensive, followed by polyethylene, and finally polypropylene.
- Thatch or Not – Artificial turf with thatch has a more natural look and is easier to install.
