A green yard, artificial grass, or an irrigation system? Here are rough prices per square metre, the difference between artificial and natural grass, and tips for a garden that survives the Riyadh heat.
Most companies charge per square metre. The price depends on the grass quality, the state of the ground and the area.
| Service | Rough price |
|---|---|
| Economy artificial grass (per m²) | SAR 35 – 60 |
| Mid to high-quality artificial grass (per m²) | SAR 65 – 160 |
| Artificial grass fitting (if charged separately) | SAR 15 – 35 per m² |
| Natural grass, planted | SAR 20 – 60 per m² |
| Drip irrigation | SAR 20 – 40 per m² |
💡 Ask whether the artificial grass price includes fitting and ground preparation (levelling and sand), or whether each is extra.
💧 Natural grass is cooler and nicer, but needs daily water in summer. Artificial needs no water, but gets hot in the sun.
A rough guide from 5 sources in Riyadh (October 2026), mostly price pages of landscaping companies. The final price is agreed between you and the company after a site visit. Laqeeni doesn't set prices or take commission.
Usually too little water, or at the wrong time. Water early morning or at night, not at midday.
Normal in the Riyadh sun. Spray it with water before children play, or shade part of it.
The ground underneath wasn't levelled or has no drainage. It needs levelling and drainage holes.
No weed membrane was laid under the grass. Ask about it before fitting.
The irrigation leaks or runs too long. Drip irrigation and a timer save a lot.
Usually plants that don't suit the Riyadh climate. Ask for plants that handle heat and salty water.
Grass, fitting, ground preparation, irrigation and plants: ask about each one.
Ask about pile height, density and UV resistance, and see a sample first.
How many years against fading on artificial grass? And on the irrigation?
Ask for a simple drawing or picture of the design before they start.
Do they offer monthly maintenance for natural grass and plants? At what price?
Look at gardens they did a year or more ago, not just handover-day photos.

A good one usually lasts 5 to 10 years, depending on sun and use.
No. Laqeeni is a directory that connects you with the company directly. You agree and pay between you.
