Thinking about switching to artificial grass but not quite sure where to start?
At Grassify, we get it—it’s a big decision. With so many options available, choosing the right turf can feel a little overwhelming. But don’t worry—we’re here to help.
Over the years, we’ve helped homeowners, businesses, and sports clubs make the right call when it comes to artificial turf installation. And we’ve found that asking the right questions at the start makes all the difference.
Let’s walk you through six simple questions that can help guide your decision.
1. What Will You Use the Turf For?
This is the big question. Are you creating a backyard your kids can play in all year long? A dog-friendly lawn? A multi-sport court? Or, a low-maintenance area for your business?
Your response will determine the rest. Some of the artificial grass options are soft and lush, and you’re meant to relax on them. Others are designed to hold up to a lot of foot traffic. We will help identify what product is best for your needs – whether personal or business.
2. Is It for Sports? Which One?
If your turf is going to be used for sports—even just some of the time—you will want to choose a product that is suitable for the activity. Each sport (football, crickert, rugby, tennis + etc…) will require different kinds of turf.
At Grassify, we offer turf systems specifically to enhance performance in sport, why not use Grassify artificial turf for a training space, or community sports pitch, we will ensure your artificial turf system has quality and suitability to last.
3. What’s the Performance Level You’re Aiming For?
This one is all about standards! Are you using the turf for a high level of play, or more for a fun kick about on the weekend?
You definitely don’t need FIFA-approved pitch if you just want to have a little kick about with your buddies—but if you need international standards, well, we have that solution too! We will help you find the right product depending on how serious the usage will be.
4. How Busy Will Your Turf Get?
How Busy Will Your Turf Get?
Be honest—will this turf be used daily by kids, pets, or athletes? Or is it more for show?
Some people install artificial grass in a quiet courtyard that only sees a few footsteps a week. Others are building schoolyards or sports fields that take a beating every day. The more traffic, the tougher the turf needs to be.
Pick a product that’s built for your level of use—it’ll last longer, look better, and save you money in the long run.
5. How Much Maintenance Are You Willing to Do?
One of the best features of synthetic lawns has to be its low-maintenance nature. Well, maybe we shouldn’t say zero in upkeep, but almost.
Consider a shaded area, one that is near trees, or an area that can stay wet in winters. You will want an artificial turf that drains well and shuts out organic buildup. Are you looking for turf that keeps itself green and neat with little effort? We have that.
And let’s not forget lifespan. With the right care, a quality artificial grass lawn installation can last 8–15 years. We’ll help you choose something that fits your routine and your expectations.
6. What’s Your Budget—Now and Later?
It’s not just about what you can spend today—it’s about what makes sense long-term.
Yes, artificial turf installation is an investment. But over time, it can actually save you money—no mowing, no watering, and fewer repairs. Whether you’re working with a modest budget or planning a full-scale sports field, we’ll help you get the most value out of every square metre.
And here’s our tip: don’t compromise on quality just to save a few pounds upfront. A better product, properly installed, will serve you longer and better.
Bonus Tips Before You Commit
Still weighing your options? Here are a few extra things to consider:
- Ask for samples. Feel the difference. See how it looks in your space.
- Check for certifications. Need a FIFA-standard pitch or a surface for rugby? We’ve got options that meet international requirements.
- Work with a team you trust. At Grassify, we’ve installed turf in all kinds of settings, across all kinds of weather. Our experienced crew knows how to get it right the first time.
Think Bigger Than Just a Lawn
When people think of artificial grass, they often picture a small patch in the backyard—but it can be so much more.
Cover a full playground, terrace, rooftop, or even an entire sports complex. The larger the site, the higher the value and the greater the all-weather usability. While the overall sum might go up, the price per square meter tends to remain consistent.
