Prices and Quotes for Planting Grass

Budget examples

• When to plant grass: in general, it's more advisable to plant grass in the garden in spring or early autumn, especially in the latter season. However, the ideal timing may vary depending on the climate: continental (between March and May or late August and early October), Mediterranean (between late February and early May or between September and November), oceanic (anytime during spring or autumn) and temperate climates (autumn)
• Climate and seed varieties: it's important to choose the type of grass according to the conditions of the area where it will be planted, as not all varieties have the same resistance to environmental factors. In warm climates, it's common to sow Bermuda grass, Bahia grass, or Kikuyu. For cold or humid areas, species like Poa, Agrostis, Festuca, or Ryegrass are more suitable. In any case, it's typical to mix seeds from different species in different proportions.
• Use of the space: just as with climate, not all grass varieties offer the same resistance to foot traffic; some are delicate and are used only for ornamental purposes. For the latter case, Chewing Fescue, Creeping Bentgrass, Dichondra repens, and Ryegrass seeds are typically used. In the case of sports fields or intensive-use gardens, the most suitable options are Ryegrass, Bermuda grass, Tall Fescue, Bluegrass, or Bentgrass.
• Planting grass in a garden of about 80 m², including manual soil preparation work, seeding, and fertilizing would have an approximate cost of 1.500 €.

Although it's possible to plant artificial grass with finishes very similar to natural grass, visually, the difference is noticeable. At first glance, and as long as it's well maintained, natural grass offers a fresher and more pleasant appearance. The shine and variety of tones achieved through the mix of seeds used create an effect that artificial grass cannot replicate.

Cooling effect

Grass absorbs moisture and cools the soil. Not only does it provide a sensation of freshness when stepped on, but this effect extends to the surrounding environment and atmosphere where it's been planted, especially after watering. This is another important difference from artificial grass, which, unlike natural grass, heats up in sunlight because it cannot absorb it.
