How This Estimate Is Built
These ranges come from national cost-per-square-foot figures for each surface type, combined with typical site prep, fencing, net, and permit costs. Your actual price will vary with local labor rates, soil conditions, and how much drainage or grading work your specific yard needs — think of this as a solid starting number for budgeting conversations, not a substitute for a written contractor quote. For the full cost breakdown and sourcing behind these numbers, see the home page cost guide, or compare surface options in detail on the materials and surfaces page.
