Shopping with Artificial Grass Direct
Matching pile height to the job
The range runs from shorter, hard-wearing options to taller, softer lawns. Products such as the 12mm Adventure and 24mm Stadia are aimed at sports use, while the 30mm Midnight and 40mm Dawn suit a more decorative garden lawn. If the area will take heavy footfall, a shorter pile usually holds its shape better, whereas a taller pile suits a plush, luxury look.
Sports, play and school areas
The Game 32mm grass is described for play areas, schools and nurseries, and the Extreme is positioned as a 3G sports surface with rubber crumb in-fill. Check which surface a sports club or school actually needs before choosing, as a garden lawn grass will not perform the same way under play or match use.
Garden and decorative choices
The Elite range includes four shades of green, which can give a more natural variation across a lawn. The Rainbow Range offers coloured artificial grass for a more decorative finish. Compare colour and pile to the look you want, then order a free sample where one is offered to check it in daylight before committing.
Fitting and accessories
If you plan to lay the grass yourself, the supplier sells the accessories needed for installation, including weed membrane, adhesive, joining tape and fixing pins. Budget for these alongside the grass itself, and check the installation guidance on the site before starting.
