What moves the price
- Size of the area — artificial grass is priced per square metre, so a larger lawn needs more grass, base and labour.
- Type of grass selected — a thicker, longer pile or a pet-friendly grass costs more than a basic one.
- Any additional groundwork needed — digging out old turf and laying a new base adds time before the grass goes down.
- Condition of the existing ground — existing damage has to be made good before the artificial grass goes on.
- Edging needed — new edging around the lawn adds materials and cutting time to the artificial grass installation.
- Complexity of the installation — curves, joins and fitting around trees or paths need more cutting and seaming.
Domestic services and household services prices in Ireland are up 11% over five years (CSO Consumer Price Index, Domestic services and household services, to 2025 December). Five years ago a typical artificial grass installation would have cost about €65 — an estimate from today's guide price and that index, not a recorded price. Source: CSO CPM18, CPM12 →

How to pay less
- A simple rectangular area with few cuts costs less to lay than a lawn shaped around beds and paths.
- Lifting the old turf and clearing the area yourself, if the installer agrees, can cut the groundwork charge.
- A standard or shorter pile grass costs less than a thick luxury one, and can suit a small garden well.
- Getting the drainage right at the start costs less than lifting the grass later to fix pooling water.
- Covering several areas, such as a lawn and a play area, in a single visit saves on setup and delivery costs.
Before you book

- Information on any specific requirements, such as drainage or pet considerations.
- Check whether your building or estate needs to approve the artificial grass, especially for a rooftop or shared space.
- Communication regarding preferred materials or types of artificial grass.
- You can ask how many artificial grass installations the installer has done, and whether any local rules apply to your garden.
Artificial Grass Installation cost: questions people ask
The cost is influenced by factors such as the size of the area, the type of grass selected, and any additional groundwork needed. More complex installations with features like drainage or landscaping can increase costs.
The duration depends on the size of the area and the complexity of the job. A typical installation can take anywhere from a few hours to a couple of days, especially if site preparation is required.
While many general contractors can install artificial grass, hiring a specialist can ensure a higher quality finish. For tasks involving significant groundworks or drainage systems, a qualified professional is recommended.
Same-day installation may be possible depending on the availability of materials and the workload of the installer. It's best to contact local providers to check their scheduling options.
Many installers offer package deals for multiple services, such as landscaping or garden design, alongside artificial grass installation. It's advisable to discuss this during the initial consultation.
Out of scope work may include extensive landscaping, major drainage solutions, or any structural alterations to existing features. Always clarify with your installer what is included in the quoted price.
