Factors affecting fake grass price

You can definitely find cheap artificial grass with a quick online search. But as the saying goes – you get what you pay for! Here are some considerations which may impact the artificial grass price, and we can tell you right now, not compromising on quality will be a better investment in the long run.

  • The grass itself should be soft to touch. If it’s sharp and unpleasant to run your hand over, chances are this is a poor quality product.
  • Where was the artificial grass manufactured? Even some leading hardware chains sell imported goods which are far inferior in quality. Choosing Australian Made is a smart step in getting a quality finished product.
  • The product should be certified lead free. Lead is highly unsuitable for human consumption and we all know how kids and pets love to roll around and enjoy the backyard.
  • Will you be installing the artificial lawn yourself? Check out some DIY installation instructions here. If not, expect to pay around $100 per square metre for a standard 50 square metre area. This includes the excavation, supply and installation of the product.
  • The product needs to be manufactured with a hybrid emulsion backing that won’t deteriorate over time. The backing provides the synthetic grass with its strength and durability, so it’s important to make sure this is the case!
  • Know the product warranties and guarantees provided by the installers or supplies. These can be a good indication of quality.
  • Some inferior artificial grasses can become quite hot under direct sunlight. But fear not! Quality manufacturers have produced a solution to keep your new synthetic grass cool and usable all year round. Read more about how SYNLawn are doing that here: CoolPlus™ Technology
