The price of fake grass for balconies and rooftops really depends on the following two factors:
Type of system
The cost of artificial grass for balconies will vary depending on the system used, and the accessories you opt-in for. This includes frames, drainage layers, infills, and the type of attachment (glue or staples). Some projects require more framing than others. Typically, a frame is installed on balconies that need the surface raised to level the grass with the door. Some projects also require more glue than others. It's important to know what to expect before starting your artificial grass project because the cost may vary greatly!
Most people will just purchase turf and lay it directly on their balcony or rooftop. If your space is small and enclosed, this is often successful. However, for larger spaces, it's highly recommended to include a drainage grid to accelerate water flow and prevent mold and mildew growth.
Access
In many cases, you'll have to cut the turf in pieces and then seam it back together due to restricted access. This is typically necessary if you need to carry the turf through an apartment, home, or business to get to the area where the turf is being installed.
