Is residential artificial grass right for my home?
As a long-lasting and low-maintenance option,. A synthetic lawn offers the aesthetic benefits of a beautiful green lawn with none of the upkeep. If you’re wondering whether you need residential artificial grass, consider the following factors:
Maintenance: Are you tired of spending hours each week mowing, watering, and maintaining your lawn? If you want a low-maintenance solution, artificial turf is ideal.
Water Restrictions: In Melbourne, water restrictions might be in place during drought periods. Artificial turf doesn’t require watering, ensuring your lawn stays green regardless of restrictions.
Climate: Melbourne’s weather can be unpredictable, with hot summers and dry spells. It withstands harsh weather conditions without fading or becoming patchy.
Pets and Kids: If you have children or pets who love to play outside, synthetic grass provides a safe and durable surface for them to enjoy. Learn more about our pet-friendly synthetic options here.
Allergies: Natural grass can trigger allergies in some individuals. Switching to synthetic turf reduces exposure to allergens.
Aesthetics: If you desire a perfectly manicured lawn year-round, artificial turf maintains its lush appearance throughout the seasons.
Water Bills: Did someone say savings? Synthetic grass can help save you money on your water bills, as it doesn’t require regular watering.
Soil Quality: If your soil quality is poor and makes it challenging to grow natural grass, synthetic alternatives can be a viable solution.
Eco-friendly: High-quality synthetic turf is made from environmentally friendly materials and reduces the need for harmful pesticides and fertilisers.
Time Constraints: If you have a busy lifestyle and can’t dedicate much time to lawn care, artificial turf is a convenient option.
How much does residential artificial grass cost?
The cost can vary depending on several factors such as the quality of the turf, the area to be covered, the type of installation required, and additional features like drainage systems or infills. Generally, it is priced per square metre.
The price for basic package ranges from $40 to $60 per square metre. Mid-range options with better quality and a more realistic appearance could cost between $60 to $90 per square metre. High-end varieties with advanced features might go beyond $90 per square metre.
Keep in mind that installation costs are separate and may include expenses for ground preparation, base materials, labour, and any additional requirements based on your specific lawn.

How long does artificial turf take to install at my home?
The time it takes to install residential artificial grass can vary depending on several factors, including the size of the area, the complexity of the installation, and the weather conditions. In general, the installation process can be completed within a few days to a week.
Here’s a rough breakdown of the installation timeline:
Preparation: The existing natural grass and debris need to be removed. The ground is then levelled and compacted to create a stable base. This preparation phase may take a day or two, depending on the size of the area and its condition.
Laying the Base: The next step involves laying a base material, typically crushed rock or gravel, to provide proper drainage and stability. This part of the process may take a day or two, depending on the size of the area.
Cutting and Fitting: The rolls are cut and fitted to cover the designated area. If there are intricate shapes or curves, this process may take some additional time.
Securing and Joining: The individual pieces are secured in place, and seams are joined to create a seamless look. The edges are also fixed to prevent movement.
Infill and Finishing: If the artificial turf requires infill (usually for longer-bladed varieties), this is added to provide support and keep the grass blades upright. The surface is then brushed to achieve a natural appearance.
PLEASE NOTE: Weather conditions can influence the installation timeline. Rain or adverse weather may cause delays. |
