For the turf itself, YARDORA artificial grass currently runs about $0.96 to $2.06 per square foot. A pre-cut starter roll is $69. A fuller backyard pile is closer to $1.81 per square foot. Those are material prices for grass shipped in the U.S., not an installed lawn. A local crew’s quote adds base rock, edging, labor, and haul-away, and that number varies too much by city to publish as one national price.
Prices below are list prices on the site at the time of writing. Check the product page before you order — roll size changes the per-foot price, and promotions change the total.

Example material totals
These examples are turf only, before waste. Add about 5–10% for cuts, seams, and a crooked fence line.
- 200 sq ft backyard in Everyday 20: about 200 × $1.76 = $352 in turf.
- 200 sq ft backyard in Natural 30: about 200 × $1.81 = $362 in turf.
- 400 sq ft backyard in Natural 30: about 400 × $1.81 = $724 in turf, plus waste.
A 200 sq ft lawn does not automatically cost twice a 100 sq ft lawn in practice, because roll width rarely matches the yard. Send measurements to support@yardora.com before you buy two rolls that will not seam cleanly.
What the turf price does not include
Budget separately for:
- Removing the old lawn and hauling it.
- Crushed aggregate or decomposed granite for a 2–4 inch compacted base.
- Edging, seam tape, adhesive, and nails or spikes.
- Infill, if the product and the use need it.
- Tool rental, especially a plate compactor on anything bigger than a patio.
- Labor, if you hire the install instead of doing it yourself.
That is why an installed price from a local contractor is often several times the roll price. You are paying for the base and the day of work. Buying the grass direct makes sense when you, or a handyman you already trust, will do that part. It is a weak comparison if the other quote is a full install and yours is a roll on a truck.
How to spend less without buying the wrong pile
Use the shorter pile where nobody is trying to imitate a front lawn. Everyday 20 is the right spend for patios, balconies, and dog areas. Natural 30 is the right spend when the yard should read as a lawn from the back door. Jumping to Natural 40 adds look, not an easier install.
Start with a sample or a $69 starter roll if you are unsure of color. Returning a 72 sq ft piece is cheaper than returning a full backyard. The buyer guide on pile height by project is the short version: 0.8“ for patios and pets, about 1.18“ and 1.57" for a backyard lawn.
Shop the rolls on artificial grass. If you only need a number for a small area, the starter roll price is the one to use.
