A fake lawn, also known as artificial grass or synthetic turf, is a manufactured surface made to replicate natural grass. In simple terms, it’s a low-maintenance, evergreen alternative to real grass that looks visually appealing year-round. The main reason Australians love fake lawns is because they require minimal upkeep, stay green in drought conditions, and are perfect for homes, apartments, balconies, and commercial spaces where real grass might struggle. Modern fake lawns are designed with UV protection, realistic textures, and drainage systems to mimic natural lawns without the constant watering, mowing, and fertilising that traditional lawns demand.
Australian homeowners have access to several varieties of fake lawn to suit different needs and aesthetics:
Soft, durable, and designed for backyards, patios, and garden areas. Ideal for families with children or pets. Brands like Florabelle Collection showcase lush textures for premium garden aesthetics.
Used in offices, schools, retail spaces, and rooftop gardens. Often built for durability, anti-slip surfaces, and heavy foot traffic.
Specially designed for dogs and other pets. It is non-toxic, easy to clean, and resistant to wear from digging or urine, ensuring your yard stays clean and hygienic.
Engineered for sports fields, mini-golf, playgrounds, and high-traffic recreational areas. Includes added cushioning and durable fibres for performance.
Lightweight and easy to install, perfect for small balconies, terraces, or indoor-outdoor hybrid spaces. Provides greenery without the mess of soil or watering.
Some Australian suppliers offer recyclable or sustainably sourced synthetic grass with low environmental impact, blending modern convenience with eco-conscious living.
Choosing the right fake lawn for your home or commercial space requires careful consideration. Here’s a practical guide:
Play areas & pets: Look for softer, thicker fibres and drainage-friendly bases.
Decorative or low-traffic areas: Shorter, more compact turf may suffice.
Sports or high-traffic zones: Opt for denser, high-performance fibres.
Most synthetic grasses come in polyethylene, polypropylene, or nylon fibres. Polyethylene is softest and most realistic, polypropylene is budget-friendly, and nylon is strong for high-traffic applications.
The pile height refers to the length of the grass blades. Shorter piles (10–20mm) are easier to maintain, while longer piles (25–40mm) look lush and natural but may need more care.
Ensure the turf has a permeable backing to allow water to drain freely, preventing puddles or moss growth.
Opt for UV-protected turf to avoid fading, especially in sunny Australian climates.
DIY rolls: Quick to lay for smaller spaces.
Professional installation: Recommended for large lawns or commercial areas to ensure durability and correct drainage.
Fake lawns are not just visually appealing; they also provide practical, lifestyle, and environmental benefits:
No mowing, fertilising, or weeding required. Ideal for busy households or retirees.
Artificial turf drastically reduces water consumption, perfect for drought-prone areas across Australia.
Maintains a vibrant, lush appearance regardless of weather conditions.
Durable, easy-to-clean surfaces for dogs and children, reducing mud and mess inside the house.
Eliminates pollen and grass cuttings, benefiting allergy sufferers.
Suitable for balconies, rooftops, gardens, playgrounds, and commercial landscapes.
Modern fake lawns can last 10–20 years with minimal maintenance, making them a worthwhile investment.
