Artificial Grass Adelaide – Frequently Asked Questions
Q- What is artificial grass, and how is it different from turf?
A- Artificial grass is a synthetic surface designed to look and feel like natural lawn. Unlike sports turf, which has a shorter, harder pile, artificial grass for homes and businesses uses softer fibres for a realistic, natural appearance.
Q- How much does artificial grass cost to install in Adelaide?
A- Installation costs generally range between $65 and $120 per square metre, depending on the size of the area, site preparation, and the quality of grass selected. While the upfront cost is higher than natural lawn, the long-term savings on water, mowing, and maintenance make it a cost-effective choice.
Q- Does artificial grass require any maintenance?
A- Yes, but far less than real grass. It only needs occasional brushing to keep the fibres upright, rinsing to remove dust or pet waste, and clearing away leaves and debris.
Q- Does artificial grass get hot in summer?
A- Artificial grass can heat up under direct sunlight, especially in Adelaide’s summer. Installing lighter fibre colours, ensuring some shaded areas, or lightly hosing down the surface will help keep it cooler.
Q- Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?
A- Yes. Modern artificial grass is non-toxic, durable, and soft underfoot, making it safe for play areas and pet zones. Proper drainage also ensures hygiene is maintained.
Q- How long does artificial grass last?
A- With professional installation and care, artificial grass in Adelaide can last 15 to 20 years, depending on product quality and usage.
Q- How does artificial grass handle drainage?
A- High-quality products are designed with a perforated backing, and when laid on a properly prepared base, they drain effectively—preventing puddles and waterlogging.
Q- Can artificial grass be installed on concrete or sloped areas?
A- Yes. Artificial grass can be installed on concrete, decking, or sloped surfaces with the right preparation, making it versatile for courtyards, rooftops, and tricky yard spaces.
Q- Is artificial grass environmentally friendly?
A- Artificial grass conserves water and removes the need for pesticides and fertilisers. While there are some concerns about recycling and microplastics, choosing premium products helps minimise environmental impact.
Q- Are there any health concerns with artificial grass?
A- Most artificial grass products are safe when installed correctly. Concerns such as surface heat or poor-quality infill can be avoided by selecting high-grade, non-toxic materials and professional installation.

Artificial Grass Adelaide – Frequently Asked Questions
Q- What is artificial grass, and how is it different from turf?

A- Installation costs generally range between $65 and $120 per square metre, depending on the size of the area, site preparation, and the quality of grass selected. While the upfront cost is higher than natural lawn, the long-term savings on water, mowing, and maintenance make it a cost-effective choice.Q- Does artificial grass require any maintenance?

A- Artificial grass can heat up under direct sunlight, especially in Adelaide’s summer. Installing lighter fibre colours, ensuring some shaded areas, or lightly hosing down the surface will help keep it cooler.Q- Is artificial grass safe for children and pets?
A- Yes. Modern artificial grass is non-toxic, durable, and soft underfoot, making it safe for play areas and pet zones. Proper drainage also ensures hygiene is maintained.Q- How long does artificial grass last?
A- With professional installation and care, artificial grass in Adelaide can last 15 to 20 years, depending on product quality and usage.Q- How does artificial grass handle drainage?

A- Yes. Artificial grass can be installed on concrete, decking, or sloped surfaces with the right preparation, making it versatile for courtyards, rooftops, and tricky yard spaces.Q- Is artificial grass environmentally friendly?
