The Facts and Benefits: An Overview of Artificial Grass in Commercial Spaces
Here’s a quick overview of what to know about installing artificial grass in commercial spaces:
· Benefits: It’s clean, mud-free, low maintenance, durable, cost-effective, and adds cosmetic appeal to a business premise.
· Installation: It’s suitable for indoor and outdoor use, taking up to a week to professionally install artificial grass in most commercial areas.
· Maintenance needs: Professional servicing is recommended up to four times a year in commercial settings. This sanitises the lawn and resets the pile, which prevents odours and helps fake turf last longer.
· Costs: Ranges between £6-£24 per square meter, depending on the type of artificial grass you choose.
Why Choose Commercial Artificial Grass For Public Areas?
Businesses enjoy a range of benefits when installing artificial grass in public areas, including:
· Low maintenance: There’s no need to mow, water, or fertilise artificial grass, saving businesses time and money.
· Maximum durability: The right commercial fake turf can withstand heavy foot traffic and last for years.
· Suitable for all weathers: With excellent drainage and UV protection, fake turf is unlikely to flood or fade in the sun.
· Accessibility: Artificial grass creates a smooth, wheelchair-friendly surface, with a non-slip, mud-free design that promotes accessibility.
· Professional, vibrant green appearance: Commercial artificial grass looks fresh, clean, and well-pruned all year round.

What Commercial Areas Benefit From Artificial Grass?
Artificial turf has a range of uses in a commercial environment, with rolls suitable for indoor and outdoor spaces, even in high-traffic areas.
Common commercial uses of artificial grass include:
· Offices, including indoor features and outdoor green areas
· Hotels, spas, and resorts, like around poolsides or feature areas
· Pubs, bars, and restaurants, such as sky gardens and beer gardens
· New housing complexes, including use in entryways, outdoor features, rooftops, and communal gardens
· Indoor event spaces and stands, adding vibrancy to exhibitions and a soft, clean play area for kids or pets
· Parks and playgrounds, particularly family-friendly commercial fake turf, which has better durability and feels softer to help cushion falls
How Much Does Commercial Fake Grass Cost?
Available in different types, high-quality artificial turf can cost between £6-£24 per square meter. In commercial spaces, we recommend a more premium roll to deliver maximum durability – particularly in high-traffic environments (see our luxury range designed for business use).
Family-friendly fake grass (ideal for playgrounds and communal gardens) ranges between £11-£20. These are made from non-toxic materials and have extra cushioning to help minimise injuries.
Budget range artificial turf usually comes at a cost between £6-£10 per square meter. These work well in residential areas and low-traffic spaces, but are unlikely to last as long in commercial areas with heavy foot traffic.

What is the Best Fake Grass For Commercial Use?
We recommend 41-50mm artificial grass for commercial spaces, or a premium roll from our luxury range. This will ensure the lawn has a thick, full appearance and a well-cushioned, long-lasting surface.
FAQs
Is Commercial Artificial Turf Safe For Public Use?
Yes, commercial artificial turf is safe for public use. In play areas, we recommend artificial grass with a good softness rating (4+) to make it safer for children playing and to minimise fall-related injuries.
Can Artificial Grass Withstand Heavy Foot Traffic In Commercial Spaces?
Yes, but we recommend choosing artificial grass with a high wear rating (4+). It’s also better to choose a thicker grass, with a higher yarn thickness, a good drainage rate (1800+L/H/m2), a high DTEX (8,000+), and a 7+ year guarantee. We recommend one of our 41-50mm artificial grass.
How Do You Maintain Artificial Grass For Public Areas?
We recommend professionally cleaning artificial grass in public areas up to four times per year. This sanitises the area and prevents the blades from flattening. Cleaning frequency can be increased depending on use and traffic.
