Artificial grass cost to install

I have this space down the side of my house that sees no sun and is a bit of a mess. I'd like to get it cleared up and have some artificial grass installed so it doesn't look so terrible! What am I expecting when I get quotes? Any other advice? Never had it before, but it has been recommended by some friends for this purpose

"A lot depends on what's currently there. So if its just a muddy patch, then digging out and a proper sub base to be laid, then screeded compacted sand and then the artificial turf gets laid on that, nailed to a wooden outer frame. Artificial turf also varies greatly, from £8sqm to £40sqm. I suppose you would be looking at around £40/50sqm plus the cost of the turf. Hope that helps."

"The installation costs depends on what groundwork ect is needed.
If you have real grass down or stuff needs digging out that's a full job.
you are roughly looking at £60 per square metre for materials and labour"
