Ten-Year Cost Comparison for South Arlington Homeowners
A south Arlington homeowner maintaining 1,800 square feet of Bermuda grass typically spends $1,100 to $1,400 per year once you add irrigation, mowing service, pre-emergent herbicide applications, and fall overseeding. Over ten years that is $11,000 to $14,000 — for a lawn that still goes dormant brown every winter. Artificial turf at $9 to $13 per square foot installed is a one-time expenditure that locks in zero recurring irrigation cost and near-zero maintenance cost for 15 or more years. Most south Arlington installations reach breakeven between years five and seven. The resale premium in a competitive Tarrant County market often accelerates that recovery.
