Choosing the Right Artificial Grass for Your Needs
When selecting artificial turf for your lawn, consider these key factors to find the perfect option:
The pile height affects how tall and lush your grass looks, with options typically ranging from 20mm to 40mm. Higher density provides a more realistic artificial grass appearance, while UV-resistant materials prevent fading under the Australian sun. Look for durable, pet-friendly products with effective drainage for homes with children or pets.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the downside of artificial turf?
Artificial grass can become hot in direct sunlight, potentially reaching uncomfortable temperatures on very warm days. The initial installation cost is higher than natural grass seeding, which is often offset by reduced long-term maintenance expenses. Some people may prefer the feel of real grass underfoot.
Why are people getting rid of artificial grass?
Some homeowners remove artificial lawns due to their heat-retention properties, particularly in areas with hot summers. Others may prefer to return to natural landscaping options that support local ecosystems. Worn or damaged fake grass that has reached the end of its lifespan may also need replacement.
What do you put under fake lawn?
A proper base is essential for artificial grass installation. This typically includes a layer of crushed rock or road base (75-100mm) for drainage, followed by a layer of washed river sand (25-30mm) to create a smooth surface. A weed membrane is often installed between the soil and base materials to prevent weed growth. Some premium installations also use infill to help grass blades stand upright.
Can dogs wee and poo on artificial grass?
Yes, pets can use artificial grass. Most quality artificial turf has drainage holes that allow urine to pass through. Pet waste should be removed promptly, and the area can be hosed down or cleaned with mild soap and water. Regular cleaning helps prevent odour and maintains hygiene for your pet-friendly lawn.
Where can you use artificial turf grass?
Artificial grass is versatile and can be used in various settings, including front and backyard gardens, play areas, rooftop gardens, balcony spaces, around swimming pools, commercial spaces, and sports facilities. It's particularly useful in shaded areas where natural grass struggles to grow and for indoor applications where real grass isn't practical.
Why is replacing real grass with artificial grass becoming more popular?
The low maintenance requirements of artificial turf appeal to busy Aussie households. It needs no mowing, watering, fertilising, or weed control. In drought-prone areas of Australia, synthetic grass provides a green space without water consumption. It also offers a consistent appearance year-round regardless of weather conditions and rainfall.
Is artificial grass harmful to the environment?
Artificial grass eliminates the need for fertilisers, pesticides, and lawn mowers that produce emissions. However, it is made from synthetic materials and doesn't provide the ecological benefits of natural grass, such as oxygen production, carbon sequestration, and habitat for small organisms. Modern synthetic turf products increasingly focus on recyclability and environmental considerations to minimise impact.
Is artificial turf worth it?
For many Australian households, artificial turf represents a worthwhile investment due to water savings, reduced maintenance time, and lush appearance throughout the year. While the upfront cost is higher than seeding natural grass, the long-term savings on water bills, fertiliser, and equipment can make it economically advantageous over time. The value depends on individual priorities regarding maintenance, water supply, and aesthetic preferences for your lawn.
