This isn't a cost. It's an investment.
The figures on this page are real and we don't hide them — that's how AE operates. Treat them as planning ranges, not a site-specific quote. Your actual scope and price depend on design, site conditions, materials, and the work each written proposal includes.
When you compare proposals, compare what each includes — the scope, the materials, the exclusions, the warranty terms, and how changes are handled — not just the price tag. A lower total can reflect different scope, so ask each builder to clarify the differences.

The AE campus spec
- Base: 3–4" compacted class II road base standard; 4–6" on high-traffic and vehicular-edge zones.
- Geotextile fabric over clay and caliche soils.
- Turf matched per zone — face weight, pile height, backing, and warranty class documented in the proposal.
- Play areas: ASTM F1292 rated pad with fall-height documented per installed depth; ASTM F1951 accessibility where specified.
- Infill: cooler antimicrobial infill on people zones; crumb-free playground infill where fall attenuation is required.
- Drainage engineered per zone, not assumed from the base.
- Seams glued and grain-matched, staggered per manufacturer spec.
- Edging: hidden nailer, bender board, concrete curb, or paver band per site.
Built for how churches actually approve projects
- Line-itemed written proposal a board, elder team, or finance committee can read in one sitting.
- Phased scoping across zones or fiscal years, with each phase standing on its own.
- Work scheduled Monday–Thursday and staged by zone so services, weddings, funerals, and school pickup are unaffected.
- COI with the additional-insured language your insurer or GC requires, issued before mobilization.
- Volunteer-friendly turnover — written care schedule for grooming, rinsing, and infill top-off.
- Closeout package with as-built spec, warranty registration, and maintenance guide.
Planning ranges for church campus turf
- Courtyard, gathering, and landscape turf: $9–$13 / sq ft installed.
- High-traffic and multi-use recreation turf: $12–$16 / sq ft installed.
- Children's play turf with ASTM fall-height pad: $16–$24 / sq ft installed depending on rated fall height.
- Removal and disposal of existing failed turf: quoted per project after evaluation.
- Volume pricing above 5,000 sq ft, written into the proposal.
- These are planning ranges for budgeting, not a quote. Measured conditions, drainage, access, phasing, and the signed scope control final pricing.
Why faith campuses work with AE
- David Bell — President, Southwest Hardscapes Association (13 years on board, 15 years involved).
- Licensed Arizona ROC contractor, insured, bondable — COIs before mobilization.
- In-house installation crews on every commercial project.
- Published spec and pricing on every bid. No 'call for pricing.'
- 20+ years across Arizona soils, campus phasing, and committee-driven approvals.
- Community-first company — Shop With a Cop, Day of Giving, backpack drives, and donated backyards. We didn't build a company that gives back. We built a company on giving back.

Start My Project PlanWhy this is an investment, not a cost.
An AE backyard is engineered to add daily livability and long-term home value. We publish honest ranges and build to code with a licensed and bonded Arizona crew. AE provides project-specific workmanship and manufacturer-warranty information in the signed agreement. Website summaries are for planning only.
- Licensed, bonded & insured in Arizona. ROC 340966 (R-62) · ROC 341002 (R-3) · ROC 347738 (KA-5) · ROC 211530 (CR-21). Most Arizona contracting work valued at $1,000 or more — or requiring a permit — must be performed by a properly licensed contractor, subject to statutory exemptions. Verify the legal entity, license status, and classification with the Arizona Registrar of Contractors.
- Real ranges, itemized scope. You see materials, finishes, equipment models, and a line-item budget before you sign — not a one-line "pool — $90,000."
