Artificial turf can become warm during hot summer days, especially in direct sunlight. However, factors such as turf quality, infill selection, and proper installation all play a major role in heat reduction. At The Artificial Grass Co., we use premium Smart Turf products designed for comfort, durability, and family-friendly performance.

If the turf surface feels warm, a quick spray with a garden hose will cool it down almost instantly. Our goal is to provide safe, comfortable outdoor spaces for families, children, and pets all summer long with high-quality, heat-resistant artificial grass solutions.

How much does it cost to have artificial turf installed in my yard?

Artificial turf installation costs can vary depending on several factors, including yard size, accessibility, turf selection, existing surfaces, and site conditions such as trees, slopes, or stairs.

In Calgary, residential artificial grass installation typically ranges from approximately $12 to $20+ per square foot. Larger projects with easier access and standard turf options generally fall on the lower end of the price range, while smaller or more complex installations with premium turf products may cost more per square foot.

As a general rule, larger installations usually reduce the overall cost per square foot, while smaller installations tend to be slightly higher due to fixed labor and preparation costs.

most residential projects across Canada, a permit is not required to install artificial grass. However, permit requirements can vary depending on your municipality, homeowners association, or the scope of the project.

A permit may be required if your project involves major grading, drainage modifications, retaining walls, excavation near utility lines, or commercial applications. Some cities and communities may also have landscaping or development guidelines that need to be followed.

At The Artificial Grass Co., we help guide our clients through the installation process and can advise you if permits or approvals may be necessary for your specific project. We always recommend checking with your local municipality before beginning any major landscaping work to ensure compliance with local regulations.
