Maintaining a beautiful garden is hard work. For busy individuals, finding the time and energy to mow a lawn and keep your garden looking neat and tidy is a challenge. So, it’s easy to see why artificial grass —the low-maintenance, durable, and weather-proof alternative to natural grass— is fast becoming one of the most popular choices for modern gardens.
If you’re considering revamping your garden, or if you’ve just moved into a new property and want to transform the backyard, and you’re looking for artificial grass garden ideas, here’s some inspiration.
From creative outdoor refuges to functional family-friendly spaces, we’ve picked out the best real-life examples of artificial grass installation to help you work out what you want and imagine what your garden could look like.
If you have a swimming pool in your garden, you’ll already know how frustrating it is when water from the pool ends up on the grass, making it slippery, muddy, and unpleasant to walk on.
Surrounding your swimming pool with artificial grass is the ideal solution as it’s comfortable under bare feet and won’t get excessively slippery either.
Installing artificial grass on your roof terrace or balcony is a smart move as it won’t fade in the sunlight, unlike real grass. While many people steer clear of grass on balconies and roof terraces as they tend to go yellow in the sun, with artificial grass, you can enjoy lush greenery year-round. And if it starts to get a little messy? Just grab the vacuum cleaner and it will look as good as new in no time.
One of the best artificial grass garden ideas for families, using fake grass underneath the climbing frame or around a wendy house is a great idea as can provide a soft cushioned surface if they trip and fall.
Plus, it doesn’t wear away in the same way as real grass, so can withstand lots of running around— perfect if your children are avid football fans.
In winter, you might normally be worried about the kids trekking mud into the house. But with artificial grass, such concerns are a thing of the past.
Front gardens tend to get neglected. It’s not easy to remember to go out and water the plants or mow the lawn. But having a beautiful front garden is also a great way to make a good first impression on neighbours or guests. So why not install artificial grass? It offers an affordable, attractive, and low-effort option for elevating your front garden and the overall look of your whole house.
Artificial grass is a great way to accentuate and enhance other features in your garden, such as decking, paving stones, or other materials.
In the project below, for example, artificial grass adds a beautiful pop of colour in between the paving stones and next to the wood of the shed and the brickwork of the summer house.
This combination of different colours and textures adds visual interest to the garden, creating a seriously stylish outdoor retreat.
Just because you choose to opt for artificial grass installation, it doesn’t mean the rest of your garden needs to be fake too. In fact, artificial grass can look great alongside a border of beautiful flowers and trees, as you can see in this real-life example.
The curve of the flowerbed is pleasing to the eye while the palm tree and shrubs look striking next to the swathe of green lawn.
This beautiful summer house looks gorgeous placed at the far end of this aesthetically striking striped lawn. Combined with the towering trees and flower beds, the artificial grass works to create a serene outdoor retreat, offering colour, texture, and interest, as well as leading the eye along the garden to the focal point of the summer house.
And this garden refuge is even more relaxing knowing there’s no need to mow the lawn.
Our final artificial grass idea involves using fake grass to highlight pathways through your garden, as seen in this sophisticated suburban garden.
With artificial grass on either side of the central path, and with a natural arch in the middle, you get the best of both worlds: the beauty of natural greenery and the minimal effort of fake grass.
Use artificial grass to create footpaths and walkways around your garden, leading people to different focal points, whether it’s a water feature, bench, or summer house.
Artificial grass comes with a heap of advantages. And there are countless different artificial grass ideas to choose from too, making it easy to find the right solution for your garden.
