Artificial grass installation in Colorado Springs offers homeowners a durable, low-maintenance alternative to natural lawns for residential yards, pet areas, putting greens, pool surrounds, patios, and more. Artificial turf pricing varies based on several key factors, including the size of your project, the quality of turf selected, site preparation requirements, and any existing lawn removal. For a typical 400 sq ft residential yard, you can expect a cost range of $3,200 to $3,600, while a larger 1,000 sq ft installation generally falls between $8,000 and $10,000 depending on product choice and site conditions. Understanding these factors helps you budget accurately and make informed decisions about your investment.

| Service | Price | Details |
|---|---|---|
| Residential Artificial Grass Installation | From $8/sq ft | Turf for Colorado Springs yards where hail and dry summers left the bluegrass patchy. Soft soil and expansive clay are dug out, a crushed-granite base is compacted and pitched away from the foundation, and edges are pinned along cedar fences and rock borders. Face weight, pile height and infill go into the written quote before any work starts. |
| Pet Turf & Dog Run Installation | From $10/sq ft | Short, dense pet turf for Colorado Springs dogs that dug through the lawn and tracked snowmelt mud indoors all spring. A perforated backing over a rinse-ready stone base lets urine, rain and melting snow drain straight through, and an antimicrobial infill keeps odor down. The side yard stays usable the morning after a storm. |
| Putting Green Installation | From $15/sq ft | Backyard putting greens for Colorado Springs golfers, from Flying Horse and Broadmoor-area lots to new northeast yards. The break is shaped into the compacted base, dedicated putting turf goes down with a fringe collar, and the cups are set where you want to practice. Practice happens on your schedule, without mowing or watering. |
| Pool Surround Turf | From $9/sq ft | Splash-proof turf around Colorado Springs pools and hot tubs, so there is no mud ring and no dead grass at the edge. The base is pitched away from the pool shell or tub pad, edges are locked against the decking or flagstone, and the turf is chosen for strong high-altitude sun. Barefoot traffic from the water to the patio stays clean. |
| Patio, Balcony & Turf-Paver Strips | From $9/sq ft | Turf over concrete patios, balconies and courtyards, plus turf ribbons between pavers. A drainage underlay goes down first on every slab, cuts are clean and the turf lies flat without wrinkles. Downtown townhomes and apartment balconies get a green space in a day or two. |
| Playground & School Turf | From $10/sq ft | Playground turf for Colorado Springs schools, daycares, churches and HOA parks. Padding options are matched to the fall height of the equipment, and the surface does not blow away in the wind like wood chips. Work is scheduled around the school calendar and occupied campuses. |
| Sports, Gym & Court Turf | From $8/sq ft | Performance turf for home gyms, batting cages, agility zones and backyard pickleball surrounds. Dense short pile handles sled pushes and dropped weights, and lines are cut in for the drills you actually run. Garage gyms in northeast Colorado Springs are the most common job. |
| Commercial Artificial Grass Installation | Free commercial estimate | Offices, retail frontages, apartment courtyards, model homes, dog parks and amenity decks across Colorado Springs. Commercial-grade turf is scoped, phased around tenants and documented for property managers. A maintenance plan can be quoted with the install. |
| Turf Repair & Seam Repair | From $350 | Lifted edges, split seams, melted spots from window reflections and flattened traffic lanes. The damaged section is cut out, patched, re-seamed and re-infilled so the fix blends into the lawn. Edges lifted by strong downslope wind are re-anchored along walls and walkways. |
| Turf Cleaning & Pet Odor Treatment | From $250 | Deep cleaning for installed turf, on a one-off visit or a seasonal plan. Enzyme treatment for pet odor, removal of pine needles and hail debris, power brooming and infill top-up. Lawns under ponderosa pines get the most out of a spring visit. |
| Turf Removal, Replacement & Lawn Conversion | From $2/sq ft removal | Old faded turf or a tired bluegrass lawn out, new turf in, with one crew from tear-out to brush-in. Haul-off, base rebuilt and re-compacted, then the new lawn goes down. Older yards in Knob Hill, Patty Jewett and Rustic Hills are the usual starting point. |
| Artificial Grass Walls & Vertical Greenery | From $18/sq ft | Green walls without irrigation for restaurant patios, office lobbies, courtyards and feature walls. Artificial grass and ivy panels are mounted on brick, stone or stucco and finished with a clean frame. Downtown and Old Colorado City patios are a frequent setting. |
What Affects the Price
- Area Size and Layout : Larger projects typically have lower per-square-foot costs due to efficiency, while smaller or oddly-shaped areas may require more precision work. Complex layouts with curves, slopes, or multiple sections can affect overall labor and material requirements.
- Turf Product and Face Weight : Premium artificial grass with higher face weight (density) and realistic appearance costs more than basic options. Different products are designed for specific uses, such as pet turf with enhanced durability or sports turf with specialized performance characteristics.
- Base Preparation and Soil Conditions : Colorado Springs soil conditions vary by neighborhood. Proper base depth, compaction, and drainage preparation are essential for longevity. Areas requiring additional grading, fill, or specialized base materials will increase installation costs.
- Existing Lawn or Turf Removal : If you have an established natural lawn or old artificial turf, removal and disposal add to the project cost. Removal typically starts at $2 per square foot, depending on what needs to be cleared and hauled away.
