Why would I choose a synthetic turf rather than natural grass?
Advanced fibre development means an artificial turf with the look and feel of natural grass year round without the costly maintenance and use limitations.
Year round you have a pleasing surface that retains its bounce and look of a real grass lawn.No more expense and work of mowing, weeding, watering, manicuring and fertilizing.
More and more proud home owners are choosing artificial lawn as an alternative to natural where they have a garden that will not allow grass growth. It could be a lack of natural light or poor soil conditions.
The demand is growing for artificial grass. Urban Turf Solutions have a range of landscaping products that have the natural appearance and softness of real grass. They are the most real to life in look and feel available and difficult to distinguish between the real thing.
Often perception of artificial turf is of a green hard mini putt surface, but this is far from the reality. Urban Turf Solutions premium landscaping product, Urban Prestige, has a slim grass blade with a 40mm pile height, feels dense and looks so real to life.
In today’s modern environments the quarter acre is decreasing. Why own a lawn mower and tend to 25sq/m of natural grass that doesn’t want to grow down the side of the house or under the trampoline. Urban Turf is the ideal solution. In landscaping situations the installation process is simple and the product is laid on a porous base, freely draining to maintain a mud and damp free surface.
What are the benefits to using artificial turf?
Low maintenance. No mowing, watering or fertilising.
More backyard time with the kids and friends. The product drains and the base is porous so no mud and no wet grass for days on end.
Pet and child friendly and reduces allergy triggers.
Looks pristine, lush and manicured all year round.

Does artificial turf look like real grass?
Yes. Advanced fibre development means an artificial turf with the look and feel of natural grass. As a result synthetic turf no longer has the look and feel of the abrasive carpet that used to be found on school hockey pitches. Our residential and commercial landscaping products are formed using monofilament, fibrillated and texturized combination yarns to achieve the natural appearance and softness of real grass, yet with the benefits of synthetic turf.
Does Urban Turf fade?
No. Urban Turf use only the finest fibres available globally which are UV stabilised against colour fade. Pet urine will not cause discolouration.
How long will artificial grass last?
Because our yarn fibre is of the same chemical structure as our sports products, which show a life span of 8 years, we expect to see a life span between 15 to 20 years in normal leisure environments like residential lawns. All Urban Turf products are guaranteed for 7 years with correct installation and treatment.
Can I BBQ on Urban Turf?

What happens if the surface is damaged?
Repairs to damaged areas can be made using any waste that you may have kept. Contact your installer with any queries.
What maintenance is required?
