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.

Garden Craft Trafford Fake Grass
Garden Craft Trafford with an 18mm pile height offers a balance between durability and a more natural-looking lawn. It’s softer underfoot than the Newlands option, making it a great choice for gardens, courtyards, or family-friendly outdoor areas where both durability and comfort are important.

Garden Craft Eden Fake Grass
If you want a truly lush, natural-looking lawn, the Garden Craft Eden option is the way to go. With its long 35mm pile height, soft fibres and high-end appearance, this option is ideal for backyard lawns, poolside areas, or anywhere you want a luxurious, natural feel.

Enhancing Your Outdoor Living
Pairing your fake grass with the right landscaping elements can elevate the look of your outdoor space. Consider complementing your fake grass with decorative screening to add privacy and style, or explore outdoor furniture to create a comfortable, inviting area to relax.
Many homeowners are choosing patio and outdoor living solutions like patios and verandahs alongside fake grass to create a seamless and stylish outdoor space. Adding outdoor and garden lights can further enhance your area, allowing you to enjoy your fake grass well into the evening.
