Artificial Grass Sydney

Artificial grass in Sydney is quoted after a free site measure, depending on the pile height, backing weight, and UV rating of the product chosen, plus the depth of subbase preparation required. Entry-level 25–30mm products start. Premium 35–40mm natural-look turf for front yards is quoted to suit your site. A typical 60m² backyard lawn with a 75mm compacted granite subbase comes to a competitive price fully installed. Commercial-grade products for schools and childcare centres are priced separately based on fall-height and foot traffic requirements. We provide free on-site quotes across all of Greater Sydney.

Every artificial grass installation we complete uses a compacted decomposed granite (DG) or crushed rock subbase at 75–100mm depth. The subbase serves three purposes: it creates a firm, level surface that stops the grass going lumpy over time; it provides free drainage so water doesn't pond under the mat; and it prevents weed and root intrusion from below. On clay-heavy soils common in western Sydney, Campbelltown, and parts of Penrith, we excavate deeper and may add agricultural drainage pipe before laying the subbase. Installations done on compacted soil alone, or directly over sand, are the primary cause of artificial grass failures within 2–3 years. We never skip this step.

Quality UV-stabilised artificial grass installed over a proper subbase lasts 10–20 years in Sydney. The critical factor is UV stabilisation — Sydney's UV index regularly reaches extreme levels (11+) in summer, and grass without UV-stabilised fibres will fade from green to yellow and become brittle within 3–5 years. All products we install carry a minimum 8-year manufacturer warranty against UV-related fading and fibre breakdown. Coastal locations on the Northern Beaches and Sutherland Shire add a salt-air consideration, so we specify products with marine-grade backing and seam tape in these areas. Routine maintenance — brushing the pile and occasional hosing — extends the life to the upper end of the range.

Yes. All artificial grass products we install are non-toxic and tested safe for dogs and cats. For dedicated pet areas and dog runs, we specify products with a perforated backing that allows urine to pass straight through into the subbase drainage layer below, preventing odour build-up. A coarse silica sand infill is added to aid drainage and keep the pile upright under paw traffic. For kennels and high-use pet enclosures, we offer an antimicrobial zeolite infill that actively neutralises ammonia odours. We recommend hosing pet areas once a week to flush through the subbase. Pet-friendly artificial grass in Sydney from Fencing and Landscaping Experts is installed with a heavier-gauge backing than standard residential grass to resist the extra wear from claws.

Yes. We install commercial-grade artificial grass for offices, strata common areas, retail precincts, aged care facilities, childcare centres, and school playgrounds across Sydney. Commercial and educational installations use higher-density products with a heavier primary and secondary backing rated for sustained foot traffic. For childcare centres and schools where children may fall, we install impact-absorbing underlay systems that can meet AS 4422 critical fall height requirements — essential for playground compliance. We are able to schedule commercial work outside of standard business hours or over weekends to minimise disruption to operations. All commercial work is completed with proper site safety measures and relevant insurances in place.
