Choosing the Best Fake Grass for Your Outdoor Space

A lush, green lawn can transform any outdoor space, but keeping natural grass pristine takes time, effort, and water. That’s why more Australians turn to synthetic turf, or fake grass, as a low-maintenance alternative. If you're considering artificial grass for your home, choosing the right pile height is key to achieving the perfect balance of aesthetics, comfort, and durability.

Comparing Pile Heights: Which Fake Grass is Right for You?

Stratco’s new range of Synthetic Lawn from Garden Craft offers three premium options with pile heights of 7mm, 18mm, or 35mm. Each option caters to different needs, whether you want maximum durability, a natural look, or a soft, luxurious feel underfoot.

Garden Craft Newlands Fake Grass

Garden Craft Newlands Fake Grass with a pile height of 7mm is perfect for areas that see a lot of foot traffic, such as pathways, patios, and commercial spaces. Its shorter pile height makes it exceptionally durable and easy to clean, making it a great choice for functional outdoor spaces.
