Top 10 Stylish Ways to Use a Small or Narrow Strip of Fake Grass in the Garden

Our artificial grass (pet-friendly and non-toxic) comes in a range of shapes and sizes. A popular choice is 1m wide fake grass rolls, which are exceptionally narrow to line smaller areas of the garden with greenery.

Explore our top 10 ways to use 1m wide fake grass rolls in the garden, using leftover cuts or custom-sized rolls:

• In garden flower beds – Banish the mud and spruce up the space beneath flower beds with low-maintenance, mow-free grass

• On a tight walkway at the side of a house – Line side entrances around the house with long-lasting greenery

• On balconies – Liven up a balcony and add a touch of greenery with thin strips of fake grass, making it warmer and softer underfoot

• In place of a patio in a BBQ or seating area – Use a thin strip of fake grass under a seating area or in the walking strip next to a BBQ (not directly under a BBQ, as this can get too hot for fake grass)

• As a walkway in the garden – Instead of laying costly patio, save time and money by lining a walkway with 1m rolls of fake grass 

• As a play strip for kids – Prevent damage to real grass by using strips of fake grass as a fun, soft-landing, and mud-free playing area

• Bowls or golf putting area – Create a mini putting green or bowls area for everyone to enjoy using thin rolls of fake grass

• In an outdoor pet run – Line the floor of a catio or a rabbit hutch with fake grass to make it softer and more comfortable for pets (use pet-friendly, non-toxic fake grass)

• As garden edging – Instead of edging a flower bed or patio area with decorative stones, make it greener with fake grass

• As an exterior doormat – With fake grass as an exterior doormat just outside the back door, you can keep wellies, take off shoes, or use it to brush dirt off your shoes before entering the home

Installation Tips: How to Seamlessly Apply Narrow Strips of Fake Grass in the Garden

When installing 1m wide fake grass rolls or any narrow strip of fake grass, follow our installation tips to make it look professional:

• Prepare the area – Make sure the base is dry and flat using a spirit level, straight edge, laser level, or a line level (with string)

• Measure twice and leave excess – Measure twice before cutting for accuracy, and leave around 5cm excess to account for unevenness 

• Trim using a sharp knife – Fake grass can easily be cut using a sharp Stanley blade or utility knife (cut from the back for best results)

• Choose extra-long rolls - Avoid joins entirely with extra-long rolls, or use joining tape and adhesive to make the seams look invisible

• Properly secure the edges – We recommend using galvanised nails or pegs to secure the edges, leaving around a 6-inch gap between
