Artificial Turf Installation in Tampa, Florida
American-made turf installed across Tampa, St. Petersburg and Clearwater. No mowing in a climate that never stops growing, no brown patch, and no watering restrictions to work around. Starting at $8.50 per square foot installed.
Why Tampa Yards Are Different
We install in both Utah and Florida, and the two jobs are not the same. Here is what actually changes when the yard is in Tampa Bay.
A Lawn That Never Goes Dormant
Utah lawns sleep through winter. Tampa lawns do not. St. Augustine grass here grows close to twelve months a year, which means mowing, watering, fertilizing and pest treatment on a nearly year-round schedule. Turf ends that calendar in one installation.
Drainage Built for Afternoon Storms
A Florida summer downpour is the real test of a synthetic lawn. We build an engineered permeable base designed to move water down and out instead of holding it at the surface. Tampa Bay's sandy soil helps here, provided the base is compacted correctly.
No Chinch Bugs, No Brown Patch
The two things most likely to ruin a Tampa lawn are chinch bug damage and brown patch fungus, and both need a living host. Synthetic turf gives them nothing to feed on, so the yard looks the same in August as it does in February.
One Watering Day a Week, City-Wide
The City of Tampa currently limits established lawns to a single watering day a week, midnight to 4 a.m. or 8 p.m. to 11:59 p.m., under the regional Southwest Florida Water Management District shortage order. A natural lawn either survives on that window or it does not. Turf never needs an irrigation schedule, restricted or not.
From Hyde Park to Westchase
Tampa is not one market. What a lawn has to do, and what an HOA expects it to look like, changes block by block.
South Tampa: Hyde Park, Davis Islands, Palma Ceia
Older, established, and often under historic or waterfront architectural review. A well-installed turf lawn holds the manicured look these neighborhoods expect through hurricane season and salt air alike, without the irrigation a mature natural lawn demands.
Westchase: Master-Planned, HOA-Managed
Westchase runs one of the more active landscaping committees in the Tampa Bay area, with amenity-grade standards for every yard. We build to pass that review and can prepare drawings for a submission if your board requires them.
New Tampa, Carrollwood, Seminole Heights
Newer New Tampa lots run larger, with room for a full backyard build. Carrollwood's older tree canopy means more shade to plan drainage around. Seminole Heights' smaller urban lots make a low-maintenance yard a bigger win per square foot. Same company, same warranty, different plan for each.
What Turf Costs in Tampa
Most turf companies will not publish a number. Here is ours.
Per Square Foot, Installed
That is the starting point for residential turf. We carry blades across six price tiers, so there is an option whether you need a pet run, a front yard, an entertaining space, a play area or a sport surface.
Project Minimum
Our minimum project is $3,500, which covers a typical area of 350 to 375 square feet. Most Tampa area backyards land somewhere between $5,000 and $12,000 depending on size and blade selection.
Down, With Financing
Zero down financing is available through GoodLeap, our preferred lender. Pre-qualification is a soft credit pull that does not affect your credit score, so you can see what you qualify for before committing.
We are a lump sum contractor. Your price covers base preparation, materials and labor. Items outside the turf scope, such as fire pits, french drains, irrigation or drip lines, special excavation and other requested add ons, are line itemed separately in your agreement so you can see exactly what you are paying for.
Blades We Install in Tampa Bay
Every blade is made in the United States by STR. Specifications below are the installed product, not a catalog average.

Coastal Blend
Wave-textured yarn with CoolFlo technology to deflect sunlight. Our most requested blade for Florida heat and humidity.

Wave Blade
A curved 3D profile that reduces shine and springs back after heavy foot traffic. Holds up under Tampa sun.

Island Blend
W-shaped yarn over a polyurethane backing for superior drainage. A strong value choice for wet-season performance.

Forever Blade
Our flagship W-shaped blade. Cooler, softer and more resilient than anything else in the lineup.

Two Things We Tell You Upfront

This is the question we get most in Tampa, and drainage is the part of the job that matters most here. Our turf is installed over an engineered permeable base built to move water down and out rather than hold it at the surface, which is what a Florida afternoon thunderstorm demands. Sandy Tampa area soil actually helps once the base is compacted correctly. Poor base preparation, not the turf itself, is why a synthetic lawn puddles.
No, and that is a bigger deal in Florida than almost anywhere else. Tampa has no real dormant season, so a natural St. Augustine lawn grows and needs cutting close to twelve months a year, along with the watering, fertilizing, and treatment for chinch bugs and brown patch fungus that comes with it. Artificial turf ends the mowing calendar entirely and does not brown out during watering restrictions.
Every EverBlade turf installation is backed by a 25 year product warranty, and installation and labor are covered for 2 years. The turf warranty transfers one time to a new homeowner within the first 5 years of installation, with proper documentation. Our turf is made in the United States by STR, and we are an authorized dealer of the factory that created, and made AstroTurf a household name.
It affects natural lawns, not turf. The City of Tampa currently limits established lawns to one watering day a week, in a midnight to 4 a.m. or 8 p.m. to 11:59 p.m. window, as part of the region-wide Southwest Florida Water Management District shortage order covering Hillsborough, Pinellas and Pasco counties. A St. Augustine lawn on that schedule struggles through a Tampa summer. Turf does not need an irrigation window at all, restricted or not.
In most cases, yes, though the neighborhood changes what we plan for. South Tampa neighborhoods like Hyde Park and Davis Islands often carry historic or waterfront architectural review, while master-planned communities like Westchase have their own landscaping committees. We build to pass that review, and we are glad to prepare drawings for a submission if your HOA asks for them.
