Artificial Grass Rolls for Gardens, Schools, Events and Commercial Spaces

There are some specific times when artificial grass is a smart idea. This would include, for example, when you require a clean, consistent and easy to maintain surface. This might be for a garden, commercial landscape, balcony or terrace, school or nursery, event or exhibition, retail display, dog run or a golf putting green.Choosing the correct one really depends on where you wish to use it for, the colour you would like and how soft you'd like it to be. You may also wish to know about drainage, colours, the type of backing you'll require or any extra accessories for installation.

Which Artificial Grass Do I Need?

Choose artificial grass based on the application first. A garden lawn, pet area, nursery play space, exhibition stand and golf putting area all need different surface characteristics.

Artificial Grass for Gardens and Landscaping

If you would like your artificial grass to look natural then a realistic artificial grass is the correct option. You could use this for a garden lawn, landscaped area, a balcony or a terrace, or any other area that requires artificial grass that is low maintenance with no regular lawn mowing.

Pet Friendly Artificial Grass

If you have dogs or any pets to play in the backyard, then look at the kind of artificial grass that is pet friendly. This artificial grass requires good drainage, the correct type of backing, easy to clean, and odour control.

Child Friendly Artificial Grass

If you have a child's play area in a nursery or school or a family area at home and you wish to use artificial grass then you should check the type of softness of the artificial grass. A softer grass can help create a more comfortable surface for sitting, playing and general use.

How to Choose Artificial Grass

When comparing artificial grass rolls, consider the whole installation rather than just the appearance of the grass.

Key factors include:

• Application: Decide whether the grass is for a garden, pet area, school, nursery, event, exhibition, retail display, golf area or commercial landscape.
• Pile height: Shorter pile heights may suit specialist, display or sports-style uses, while longer piles can create a softer or more lawn-like finish.
• Roll width: Check the available roll widths against the site layout to reduce waste, joins and installation complexity.
• Drainage: For outdoor areas, pet spaces and high-use surfaces, check whether the chosen grass has drainage holes or backing designed to help water pass through.
• Softness and feel: For children, pets and relaxation areas, surface feel may be more important than colour alone.
• Colour and realism: Natural lawns, school trails, retail displays and exhibition spaces may all need different colours or tones.
• Backing type: Backing construction can affect drainage, moisture retention and suitability for some use cases.
• Accessories: Membrane, joining tape, glue and shock pad may be required depending on the substrate and installation method.
• Suitability: Always check the individual product page for confirmed specifications before ordering for commercial, education, fire-retardant or specialist use.

Common Uses for Artificial Grass

Events, Exhibitions and Retail Displays

Aartificial grass can also be used for displays, exhibitions, stands, events, retail displays and themed areas or environments. Lifestyle and coloured artificial grasses can again be useful.

Artificial Grass Accessories

Stability Membrane

Stability membrane can be laid underneath artificial grass to help support the build up of the artificial grass surface. The membrane can be used when a stabilising layer is needed before the laying of the artificial grass.

Weed Membrane

By using a weed membrane, the growing of weeds through the laying surface can be prevented. The membrane is usually installed underneath the artificial grass and is recommended for garden, outside and landscaping artificial grass installations where weeds may appear.

Joining Tape

Joining tape is useful where two rolls of artificial grass need to be joined together to create a seamless appearance. Using joining tape can help make joining two rolls of artificial grass much easier. This is usually recommended for larger artificial grass installations where one roll of artificial grass is not enough to cover the desired surface area.

Artificial Grass Glue

Artificial grass glue can be used for seams or to secure areas, depending on the installation method. Cartridges of artificial grass glue may be recommended for smaller joins and seams or for more intricate artificial grass installations.

Shock Pad

Shock pad can be recommended for play areas, nurseries, schools or installations where a layer of cushioning is needed. It can help build up the desired surface underneath the artificial grass.

Putting Cups and Flags

Putting cups and flags can be used with golf artificial grass to create areas for practice putting. They are recommended for golf artificial grass, putting areas, putting greens or golf practice areas.
