I living in Wisconsin and there aren't many contractors that install artificial turf here.  I was surfing the internet and found a website called Global Syn Turf.com.  The website had an application that could tell me the size of my yard.  This application is amazing, it gives you a Google Earth Satellite view of your house.  Then you use some tools on the computer to measure lines in your yard and it gives you the measurements.  I literally measured the square footage of my backyard with a satellite image of my house.  This is technology at its best.  Besides the "Check Your Lawn Size" application they also have a job cost calculator.  This calculator will estimate the cost of all the materials needed to install your artificial grass all the way down the base work and labor to do the whole job.  Then on top of that it has a "Calculate Saving" application, this app lets you figure out the saving earned when you don't have to pay for water or a gardener any more.  This is a fantastic and educational website I recommend everyone see for themselves.

I called Global Syn Turf and asked them for an estimate to install my backyard and they told me they are a manufacturer and don't do installs.  They referred me to their artificial turf distributor here in Wisconsin and I ended up using them to install the S Blade 66 Global Syn Turf grass.  I want to write this review because of the great experience I had on the website and it is great to find a company that is a one stop shop.
