How to Make a Backyard Artificial Turf Field

It took about 3 months and cost $11,700 in 2012. The end of the video shows how it looks 4 years later in 2016. The reason it costs so much was due to excavation, a retaining wall, lawn pad, a perimeter wood wall and expensive delivery. The turf was a remnant purchased from Tencate for $2,530 which included shipping from Georgia to Kansas. Envirofill ($504) + SofPlay lawn pads ($1,190) were purchased from XGrass. Shipping for those two things were $588. Envirofill is a painted sand product that is less toxic than black crushed tires. The field measures 50' x 30' and uses two pieces of turf with a seam down the middle.
