Enjoy a green, great-looking outdoor space all year round with artificial grass.
A beautiful outdoor space doesn’t have to mean constant watering, mowing and trimming in summer, followed by a dry, brown lawn in winter. With artificial grass, you can enjoy that lush lawn look all year round without the effort and ongoing maintenance of natural grass.
Whether you are upgrading a garden, refreshing a patio or creating a pet- or child-friendly play area, synthetic lawn solutions offer a low-maintenance alternative that works in almost any space.
Synthetic Lawn offers a wide range of products designed for residential, commercial and recreational use, with options suited to different budgets and applications. The brand has supplied more than 2 million square metres of landscape grass across Southern Africa and offers multiple landscape grass ranges to suit different outdoor needs.
Why choose artificial grass?
One of the biggest advantages of artificial grass is convenience, with less maintenance, lower water usage and more time enjoying your outdoor space instead of working on it. Artificial grass is also durable enough to handle high-traffic areas, making it ideal for entertainment spaces, busy family homes and outdoor living areas.
Modern synthetic grass products are designed to look and feel realistic too. Synthetic Lawn offers a variety of products for different uses and budgets. The ECO range is available in both 15mm and 25mm lengths and can be used indoors or outdoors, while the PREMIUM range features 20mm blades and comes with an impressive 8-year guarantee for outdoor use.
Good-quality modern artificial grasses like these ones use multi-colour blends to create a more natural appearance. Instead of the bright green, obviously artificial look of older synthetic turfs, today’s options combine green and brown tones for a far more realistic finish.
Synthetic Lawn grasses are available in pre-cut rolls of 2m x 1m and 2m x 3m, as well as larger 25m x 2m rolls for bigger projects. Sections can also be easily joined using the correct joining tape.
Where artificial grass works best
One of the reasons synthetic grass has become so popular is its versatility. It can be used in far more places than traditional lawns:
Gardens and landscaped yards
Artificial grass creates a neat, evergreen finish that works well in any sized garden gardens. Pair it with stepping stones, potted plants or gravel for a modern landscaping look.
Pool areas
Synthetic grass around pools creates a softer, cleaner finish than paving by itself. It also helps reduce muddy footprints and creates a more comfortable surface underfoot.
Patios and balconies
Even compact outdoor spaces can benefit from artificial grass. Pre-cut roll options make it easy to add greenery to balconies, patios and courtyard areas without a full renovation.
Pet and play areas
Artificial grass is ideal for families with pets and children because it creates a softer surface for outdoor play while remaining easy to clean and maintain.
Choosing the right artificial grass
Different pile heights, textures and densities suit different applications. When choosing a product, consider:
- The amount of foot traffic the area will receive.
- Whether the area is for décor, pets or play.
- Your preferred look and feel.
- Your budget and maintenance needs.
Maintaining artificial grass
Artificial grass is far easier to maintain than natural lawns. Occasional brushing, rinsing and removing leaves or debris is usually enough to keep it looking fresh for years, making it a practical long-term solution for homeowners and holiday homes alike.
From modern entertainment areas to family gardens and compact balconies, artificial grass offers a smart way to upgrade outdoor living spaces with less effort and year-round visual appeal.
