Best quality artificial grass to shop in the UK for your ideal lawn
Crafting the perfect outdoor oasis is no simple task in the UK given the unpredictability of British weather.
Keeping luscious grass and blooming flowerbeds healthy and happy becomes increasingly difficult with torrential rain and a perennial lack of sunlight.
Artificial grass has emerged as a popular, fuss-free alternative to real turf and is beloved for its ability to keep gardens looking verdant all year round. It’s also a far more cost-effective means of improving outdoor spaces, as synthetic grass drastically reduces costs associated with watering, weeding and feeding.

Blade shape and texture
Turf Network
There are a surprisingly large number of blade shapes for artificial grass, resulting in a variety of different textures. Turf Distributors has a handy guide to the top 10 different types of artificial grass. Broadly, W, S and wavy-shaped yarn help to deliver a natural look, while more rigid diamond and flat shapes have better durability and tend to hold their shape long-term.
Shade
Make sure you choose a shade of green that looks natural, isn’t just a trendy option that you might tire of, and is resistant to UV.
Density and height
Since artificial grass doesn’t grow, make sure you’re choosing a density which suits your outdoor needs. Longer, high-density artificial turf tends to be higher quality, lasts longer and looks more realistic. On the flipside, shorter, low-density artificial turf is cheaper and works well for low-traffic areas. The denser the turf, the thicker the grass will appear to be.
