Yards & conditions in Chicago
Chicago sits in USDA hardiness zone 6a with cold winters and warm, humid summers. Local yards typically deal with fertile loam and clay and hard winter freezes, spring thaw and a defined warm growing season. That’s why Chicago lawns are usually planted with cool-season Kentucky bluegrass, fescue and ryegrass, with the best results in early fall and mid-spring. A local pro factors all of this in — read more in our guide.
When to schedule artificial turf in Chicago
Artificial turf can go in almost any time of year in Chicago since it doesn’t depend on a growing season — though dry weather makes the base prep go faster.
What artificial turf costs in Chicago

What affects your Chicago artificial turf price
No two Chicago projects are priced the same. The biggest factors are the square footage, turf grade and pile height, base prep and drainage, removal of the old lawn, and extras like putting greens or pet areas. Because of that, an on-site look and an itemized quote will always beat a number pulled off the internet.
