Worked example

A football field replacement in the instant synthetic sports turf quote tool

Replacing worn turf on a football field's existing base. Drag the field size and the replacement scales by the square foot.

Replacing the turf on an 80,000 sq ft football field, keeping the existing stone base.

80,000 sq ft
  • Replacement on existing base (80,000 sq ft) 80,000 sq ft × $6.50 $520,000.00
Total $520,000.00

With the price range on, the customer sees $468,000 to $598,000 instead.

$6.50 a square foot sits inside the replacement row of the price table. Numbers this large deserve a range; the example shows one.

FAQ

Questions synthetic sports turf companies ask

Industry sources put new synthetic fields at $7.50 to $9.50 a square foot, replacements at $5 to $10 and conversions from grass at $7 to $14 (price table).

Yes, and for a field it is the sensible default. Set the percentage below and above; both ends round to $50 and your record keeps the exact figure the rate produced.

Offer them as separate options with their own rates: replacement on an existing base, conversion from grass, new build. The athletic director chooses whichever describes the project.

No fee on any plan for the calculator or its requests. Written quotes and invoicing are on the paid plans.

Backyard and pet turf is on the turf quote tool page. Grass field care is on the sports field maintenance page.

It comes from the outline the director draws on the aerial image, measured again by our server once they submit.
