Find artificial grass for your space

Where you plan to use your artificial grass is a good place to start. A small balcony or courtyard may only need a compact section of turf to add some greenery, while a backyard or larger outdoor area will require more planning and measuring. Think about how you use the space too. An entertaining area may need to accommodate outdoor furniture and regular foot traffic, while other areas may be more about creating a green backdrop or covering a space where natural grass is difficult to maintain.

Choosing the right pile height

Pile height is the length of the artificial grass fibres and is one of the main differences you’ll notice when comparing synthetic turf. A shorter pile creates a neater, more compact surface, while longer artificial grass can give you a fuller look and softer feel underfoot. There’s no single pile height that works for every space, so consider where the turf is going, how the area will be used and the finish you prefer.

How much artificial grass do you need?

Measure your space before ordering so you have a clear idea of how much artificial grass you’ll need. Start with the length and width of the area and check these measurements against the roll dimensions of the turf you’re considering. For an irregularly shaped space, it can help to divide the area into smaller sections and measure each one separately. You may also need more than one piece to cover wider or larger areas, so consider where joins will sit when planning your layout.

Artificial grass for balconies and courtyards

You don’t need a large backyard to add some greenery outdoors. Artificial grass can also be used to change the look of balconies, patios and courtyards where a traditional lawn isn’t an option. It can help soften areas dominated by concrete or paving and create a more inviting base for an outdoor setting. Pair it with garden accessories like pots and plants to build a space that feels ready for relaxing or entertaining. Before getting started, check that your chosen turf is suitable for the surface and location where you plan to use it.

Accessories for your artificial grass

Depending on your project, you may need a few extras alongside the turf itself. The Factory Buys range includes artificial grass accessories such as joining tape and pegs that can help with laying and securing your turf. Planning these details before ordering can help make sure you have what you need when it’s time to get started.

Add more greenery around the home

Artificial grass isn’t the only way to bring low-maintenance greenery into your space. This collection also includes artificial hedge and screen options that can be used vertically rather than across the ground. These can be useful for adding greenery to fences, walls and other areas where turf isn’t suitable. You can also browse our rtificial plants for freestanding options around the home.

Artificial Grass FAQ

What is the difference between artificial grass and synthetic turf?

Artificial grass and synthetic turf are commonly used to describe the same type of manufactured grass surface. You may see both terms used when comparing products for backyards, balconies, courtyards and other areas around the home.

What pile height should I choose for artificial grass?

The right pile height depends on the look and feel you want and how you plan to use the area. Shorter piles create a more compact appearance, while longer piles can provide a fuller look. Check the specifications of individual products when comparing your options.

How do I work out how much artificial grass I need?

Measure the length and width of the area you want to cover and compare this with the dimensions of the artificial grass rolls. For irregular spaces, divide the area into smaller sections and measure each separately. Remember to account for any cuts or joins your layout may require.

Can you put artificial grass on a balcony?

Artificial grass can be an option for balconies and other spaces where growing natural lawn isn’t practical. Before laying it, check that the particular product is suitable for your surface and that any drainage or building requirements for the area are taken into account.

Is artificial grass easy to maintain?

Artificial grass doesn’t require mowing like a natural lawn, but it will still need some care. Leaves and other debris can be removed as needed, and the appropriate cleaning and maintenance will depend on the product and where it has been installed.
