A practical comparison of natural and artificial grass in look, feel and maintenance, and where each type works best: gardens, entrances and rooftops.
Choosing the type of grass is one of the first important decisions in any landscape project. The right choice depends on the nature of the project, how the space will be used and the level of maintenance you can provide.
Natural grass
Natural grass gives a space a natural look and a living feel underfoot, and suits open gardens and large areas that get enough sun.
- A natural look with fresh, renewing colour
- A soft, comfortable feel
- Ideal for open gardens
- Needs a regular irrigation system and routine maintenance
Artificial grass
Artificial grass is a practical solution for places that are hard to water or maintain, and it keeps the same look all year round.
- Lower maintenance
- A consistent look in every season
- Suitable for entrances, rooftops and walkways
Which one should you choose?
In most projects we combine both: natural grass in open areas, and artificial grass at entrances, on rooftops and in high-traffic spots. The G.S.A Greenline Landscape team inspects the site first and recommends the solution that best fits the space.
