Shop Affordable Synthetic Grass

Synthetic grass gives you the look of a natural lawn without the watering, mowing or ongoing upkeep that comes with real turf. Our range of cheap synthetic grass covers a broad selection of pile heights, roll sizes and backing styles to suit backyards, courtyards, balconies and commercial areas across Australia. Whether you are laying a full backyard lawn or covering a compact patio, each cheap synthetic grass roll is built to handle Australian conditions through sun, rain and heavy foot traffic without fading or flattening quickly. Browse the range for rolls sold by square metre with fast shipping Australia wide and a 12-month warranty on every item. For the broader category, explore our full artificial grass range, or browse the outdoor garden collection to plan the whole space.

Pile Height, Colour and Backing: How to Choose Your Synthetic Turf

The right synthetic turf comes down to three variables worth comparing before committing: pile height, colour and backing style. Pile height affects how the grass looks and feels underfoot. Shorter piles suit high-traffic areas and pathways where a flatter surface stays tidier and is easier to brush clean between uses. Taller, denser pile gives a lush appearance that reads more like natural turf from a distance, making it better suited to decorative garden setups and play areas where the softer feel matters more than ease of upkeep. Colour varies across the range: some rolls carry a brighter mid-green suited to balconies and contemporary outdoor spaces, while others use olive and mixed tones that blend more naturally into an established garden setting. Check whether the backing is rated for drainage in outdoor applications if your area receives regular or heavy rainfall. For vertical greenery alongside the lawn, artificial hedges frame the perimeter and add privacy without requiring soil or watering, while artificial plants bring layered colour to pots and garden beds in a fully low-maintenance outdoor setup.

How to Measure Your Area and Choose the Right Roll Size

Getting the measurement right before you buy saves the frustration of a short seam or unnecessary offcuts after the roll arrives. Measure the full length and width of the area, sketch it out and note any fixed obstacles, curved edges or cut-outs like garden beds and paths that will reduce usable coverage. Synthetic grass is sold by roll dimensions rather than exact square metreage, so check both the listed roll size and the total area it covers when deciding what to order. Add a small allowance on each edge for trimming and seam alignment: it is easier to cut down than to add material you do not have. For areas where two sections need to join cleanly, grass joining tape keeps seams flat and secure once the roll is in place. Grass pegs anchor edges and joins firmly against the ground, preventing lifting or movement under foot traffic over time.

Preparing the Surface and Laying Your Artificial Synthetic Grass

A solid installation starts with the base. The surface beneath the turf needs to be level, compact and free of debris so the roll sits flat and does not develop soft spots or ripples over time. For garden beds, remove existing soil, weeds and roots before laying a compacted sand or gravel base that promotes drainage and holds stable underfoot. On concrete or paved surfaces, ensure the area is clean and level without raised joints that will telegraph through the pile once the grass is down. Lay the roll in a consistent pile direction: viewed from one end, all fibres should lean the same way for an even, natural-looking finish. Once the lawn is secured, think about the surroundings: outdoor shade structures provide relief from summer heat without casting permanent shadow across the turf, and an outdoor garden bench positioned on a nearby paved or decked area creates a natural spot to sit alongside the lawn.

Setting Up the Space Around Your Synthetic Lawn

Synthetic grass works best as part of a considered outdoor space rather than a standalone surface dropped into an unconsidered yard. Garden decor pieces like decorative edging, stepping stones and pot features help define the boundaries of the lawn and give it a deliberate, finished quality in the broader garden layout. Practical items like outdoor storage give you somewhere to keep tools, accessories and garden equipment that accumulate over time without cluttering the lawn itself. Think about the overall sightlines from inside the house and from your main seating area: a synthetic lawn should read as a design decision, not just a patch of green in an otherwise disconnected yard. With the right surrounding elements in place, artificial synthetic grass can anchor the whole outdoor space and make it genuinely more usable and enjoyable year-round.

What pile height should you choose for your synthetic grass based on foot traffic and feel?

For heavier foot traffic in courtyards and pathways, a shorter pile height usually feels firmer underfoot and can be easier to keep tidy. A taller pile height looks plusher and feels softer for play areas, but can show footprints more. Compare the listed pile height options and pick the feel you want.

What roll size should you buy, and how do you measure your area to avoid shortfalls?

Measure the full length and width of the area, then sketch it and note any cut-outs like garden benches or beds. Choose a roll width that reduces seams, then buy enough length to cover the longest run. Add a small allowance for trimming edges and lining up joins neatly.

Which colour and backing style suits your space, such as courtyard, balcony, or play area?

For balconies and small courtyards, a natural mid-green can look realistic without feeling too bright, while darker tones can suit modern outdoor spaces. Check whether the turf is described as synthetic lawn or turf, then consider how the backing will sit on your surface. A play area often suits a softer look and feel.

What install checks matter most, including base prep, drainage, join tape, and grass pegs?

Start with a clean, level base so the turf lies flat and does not ripple, then plan drainage so water can run off rather than pool. Use join tape to keep seams aligned and smooth, and secure edges with grass pegs so corners do not lift. Check pile direction before fixing everything down.
