How Much Does Artificial Turf Cost in Keller, TX?
In 2026, turf in Keller typically runs $10 to $12 a square foot installed, and putting greens typically $15 to $25, depending on size, base work and turf grade.
Turf in Keller is priced by the square foot, so how much of the yard you cover drives the total more than anything else. Below are the typical per-square-foot ranges we work from, what the price depends on, and some rough ballparks for common project sizes. When you're ready, the form at the bottom gets you a written quote.
Cost Factors
Square footage sets the total. A dog run alone and a whole backyard sit at very different totals at the same per-foot rate, so decide how much of the yard you want covered first.
Long narrow strips, lots of curves and a tight side gate can add cutting and carrying time compared with one open rectangle, and that tends to show in the quote.
Every install needs a compacted stone base, and some yards need more digging or grading to get water moving the right way. More base work generally means a higher figure.
Products vary in pile height, density, backing and blend. A pet product, a play product and a lawn product can price differently, and the grade you pick affects where you land.
Where the turf sits in the yard changes how comfortable it is in July, so it's worth settling placement before you compare quotes.

Turf Prices in Keller by Project Type
Turf in Keller typically costs $10 to $12 a square foot installed, and putting greens typically $15 to $25. Those are the ranges we work from before we know the details of your yard.
To make that concrete, here are some rough ballparks, arithmetic only and not a quote. A 300-square-foot dog run at typical turf rates would land somewhere near $3,000 to $3,600. A 600-square-foot play area under a swing set would be in the region of $6,000 to $7,200. A 250-square-foot putting green could run roughly $3,750 to $6,250. Your own project could come in above or below those, and the written quote is what counts.
Whole Yard or Part of It?
Some Keller homeowners turf the entire backyard and put the mower away. Others cover one trouble spot, like the dog run or the ground under the swing set, and keep the lawn around it. Both are common, and the typical per-foot range is the same either way.
If you're unsure, it can help to get the quote both ways. Starting smaller and adding on in a later season works fine as long as the borders are planned with that in mind.
Water and Upkeep Costs of the Grass You Replace
Under Keller's watering restrictions, lawns water on two assigned days a week, never on Mondays and never between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. Worn patches struggle most on that schedule, and re-sodding them every spring adds up. Turf comes off the sprinklers entirely, which leaves your watering days for the grass you keep.
Turf isn't free of upkeep, though. Dog runs need rinsing, play areas need brushing and the infill gets topped up now and then. Those costs are small, but they're real.
Heat Is Part of the Cost Conversation
Texas A&M turf researchers have found that natural grass stays close to air temperature on summer days while artificial turf builds up heat, and National Weather Service records put the average first 100-degree day at DFW around July 1. That matters for a play area or a dog run.
Placement is the cheapest fix. An area that gets afternoon shade from a tree or the house is more comfortable than one in open sun, and choosing a lighter product or adding a shade sail can be part of the plan. We'd rather talk about heat before you buy than after.
Common Concerns
It costs more up front than sod, and it gets hot in direct Texas sun, so it isn't the right surface for every spot. It also needs some care, mostly rinsing, brushing and topping up infill. For a dog run or a play corner that keeps going bare, those trade-offs can be worth it. It just helps to go in knowing them.
The usual reasons are heat, odor in dog areas that don't drain well, and a product that looks wrong next to the house and the rest of the landscaping. Planning placement with shade in mind, building pet areas to drain and choosing a mixed-tone blend addresses a lot of that.
Cost Guide FAQ
How much does it cost to install 500 square feet of artificial turf?
At typical rates of $10 to $12 a square foot, 500 square feet comes to a rough ballpark of $5,000 to $6,000 in Keller. The size, base prep and turf grade decide the real figure, so treat it as a starting estimate.
How much does 200 sq ft of turf cost?
Roughly $2,000 to $2,400 at the typical $10 to $12 per square foot, as a ballpark only. The written quote has the actual number for your project.
How much does about 500 square feet of turf cost?
Five hundred square feet works out to a rough ballpark of $5,000 to $6,000 at typical Keller rates. We price by the square foot, so measuring your area in feet makes quotes easy to compare.
How much does a 10-foot-wide strip of artificial grass cost?
We price installed turf by the square foot rather than by the roll. A strip about 10 feet wide and 30 feet long is roughly 300 square feet, or a ballpark of $3,000 to $3,600 at typical rates.
Does a putting green cost more than regular turf?
Yes. Greens typically run $15 to $25 a square foot installed, compared with $10 to $12 for other turf. Size, base prep and turf grade decide where a green lands.
Is it cheaper to turf only part of my yard?
In total, yes. The per-foot rate stays in the same typical range, but covering a few hundred square feet costs much less than converting a whole backyard.
Can I add more turf later?
Usually, yes. Starting with the dog run or play area and adding a path or pool surround in a later season works fine. Planning the borders with that in mind makes the next section easier to tie in.
