"How much does artificial grass cost in Dubai?" is the most common question we receive at EagleTurf. The answer depends on the turf quality, area size, ground preparation, and installation complexity. Here's a transparent breakdown of current 2026 pricing.

Artificial Grass Prices in Dubai (2026)

Material Cost Per Sqm

Total Project Cost Examples

Project	Area	Cost Range

Townhouse garden	30-60 sqm	AED 3,000-6,000
Villa garden	80-200 sqm	AED 8,000-20,000
Commercial space	200-500 sqm	AED 20,000-50,000
Football pitch (5-a-side)	600 sqm	AED 60,000-90,000

Factors That Affect Cost

1. Turf Quality

Premium European-manufactured turf costs more upfront but saves significantly over 10-15 years compared to cheap Chinese alternatives that need replacing every 3-5 years. Always calculate the cost per year, not just the upfront price.

2. Ground Condition

Hard, rocky terrain or areas with existing concrete may require additional excavation work, adding AED 10-20 per sqm. Conversely, flat sandy ground (common in Dubai) is the easiest and most cost-effective to prepare.

3. Area Size

Larger projects benefit from volume discounts. A 200 sqm villa garden will have a lower per-sqm cost than a 20 sqm balcony due to economies of scale in materials and labour.

4. Access Difficulty

Rooftop installations, multi-storey properties, or areas with restricted vehicle access may incur additional logistics costs. This is typically an extra AED 5-15 per sqm.

5. Additional Features

Extras like curbing, edging, drainage channels, lighting integration, or stepping stones add to the total cost. These are quoted separately based on your specific requirements.

How to Save Money on Artificial Grass

Get multiple quotes — Compare at least 3 installers, but always compare like-for-like. Ask for turf specifications, not just per-sqm price.
Choose the right grade — You don't need sports-grade turf for a small balcony. Match the quality to the purpose.
Invest in quality — A premium AED 85/sqm turf lasting 15 years costs less per year than a AED 40/sqm turf lasting 4 years.
Bundle services — If you're also doing landscaping or hardscaping, bundling with the same provider often yields better pricing.
Off-peak timing — Summer (June-August) is the quieter season for installers. You may negotiate better rates.
