Fake Grass Costs for the San Francisco Bay Area

There are certain recurring investments every home owner is faced with over time which come at considerable expense. The average cost of reroofing a 2000 square foot home in the Bay Area cost about $15,000. A new fence in the same area averages around $8000. These two examples have a 15 to 20 year lifespan if done correctly.

Another recurring expense which is incremental in nature but just as expensive over time is lawn care.

The initial expense of installing a 500 square foot sod lawn with a sprinkler system costs around $2000. If the home owner is planning to maintain the lawn themselves, add $300 for lawn care equipment.

The annual cost of maintaining this same lawn is a little more difficult to narrow down because it really depends on the home owner’s lawn care regimen. The high end would include a gardener, fertilizers and pesticides, reseeding and watering. The low end for the eco-minded do-it-yourselfer would include just watering, reseeding and fuel for the lawn care equipment. The average of these two approaches would amount to roughly $800 a year. Over a 20 year span, this would equal $16,000.

An interesting alternative to sod lawns are fake lawns.

The average cost of having a 500 square foot artificial lawn installed in the San Francisco Bay Area is going to be around $7500. The life span of synthetic grass is 20 years.

The beauty of this investment, (unlike a new roof or a new fence), is that it pays for itself in seven to ten years and saves the home owner a considerable amount of money over its lifespan. It looks natural and lush all year round and is 100% maintenance free.
