Artificial Grass
Artificial grass is a popular substitute for natural lawns, crafted from plastic strands embedded in a durable rubber base. As specialists in paving and landscaping solutions, Pave Consult can help you select the ideal artificial grass option for your space.
- A Low-Maintenance Alternative for Beautiful Lawns
Artificial Grass vs. Astro Turf
While artificial grass is designed for residential and light commercial spaces, offering a beautiful, low-maintenance solution, “Astroturf” refers more to sports fields and arenas, especially hockey pitches. Sports installations like these require extensive sub-surface drainage to manage water runoff, similar to natural grass stadiums.



Installing Artificial Grass in a Residential Garden
For domestic applications, artificial grass textures range from a fine 10 mm “putting green” style to a lush “semi-rough” look. We recommend thicknesses of 25, 30, or 35 mm, depending on your needs. This grass-like layer stays wonderfully green all year round, making it ideal for gardens and courtyards where natural plant growth isn’t feasible.
Turf widths are typically 2.0 or 4.0 m. With 19 years of experience, Pave Consult ensures each installation is based on unique site conditions, whether laid on natural gravel, compacted G5 crusher, or a cement screed. We also recommend a border of pavers to properly secure the edges for a durable, professional finish.
While artificial grass is an excellent alternative, it does absorb heat and may be warmer than natural lawns. It’s also best to avoid contact with braais, cigarettes, strong chemicals, and chewing gum to prevent damage. For maintenance, simply remove debris such as leaves or animal waste and brush occasionally to enhance texture and appearance.
