Twelve key factors to consider when selecting and installing artificial grass.
Think about the intended use, foot traffic levels, and the look you want—garden, pet area, play zone, etc.—so you can pick the right turf.
Look for UV-stabilised fibres and a robust backing that resists wear, fading, and flattening over time.
Choose longer piles for a luxurious feel and higher density for durability—suitable for heavy use or sports.
Polyethylene (PE) looks and feels most natural; polypropylene (PP) is budget-friendly but slightly less lux.
Ensure a perforated or porous backing for rapid water runoff—essential in our Irish climate.
A longer warranty shows the manufacturer’s confidence—aim for at least 8–10 years cover.
Order a swatch to see it in your light, and read customer feedback on real-world performance.
Decide DIY or pro-fit—professional fitting ensures optimal drainage and edge finishing.
Factor turf cost plus installation—compare brands for the best lifecycle value.
Brush occasionally and rinse to keep fibres upright and free of debris.
Choose recycled-fibre or recyclable options to reduce your carbon footprint.
Gather at least three supplier quotes—balance price, quality, warranty, and service.
