Selecting the right height of artificial grass can be a daunting task. From aesthetic preferences to practical considerations, there are several factors to take into account before making a decision. In this guide, we’ll delve into the various artificial grass heights and help you determine which one suits your needs best.
Understanding Artificial Grass Heights
Artificial grass comes in a range of heights, typically measured in millimeters (mm).
The height refers to the length of the individual blades of grass from the backing to the tip. Common artificial grass heights include 25mm, 35mm and 40mm.
Factors to Consider
Aesthetic Preference
One of the primary considerations when choosing the height of artificial grass is the desired aesthetic. Different heights can mimic various types of natural grass, from freshly mown lawns to lush, dense turf.
Intended Use
Another crucial factor is the intended use of the artificial grass. Will it be primarily in a residential garden, or will it serve as a play area for children and pets. Shorter pile heights are generally recommended for high traffic areas such as playgrounds or sports fields, as they provide better durability and resilience against heavy use. On the other hand, longer pile heights not only provides enhanced comfort underfoot but also offers a more realistic look, mimicking the lush appearance of natural grass more closely and adding to the overall aesthetic appeal of outdoor spaces.
Surrounding Environment
When choosing the artificial grass height, it’s vital to consider the surrounding environment, especially in areas where pets or children will be playing, or where the astro turf will serve various purposes. Factors such as the level of foot traffic and drainage capabilities of the area should be taken into account. In high traffic areas, shorter pile heights may be more suitable to maintain durability. Conversely, in spaces where comfort is prioritised, longer pile heights offer a softer feel underfoot.
Maintenance Requirements
Different heights of artificial grass entail varying maintenance requirements. Shorter pile heights typically require less upkeep, as they are less prone to flattening and require minimal brushing to maintain their appearance. Conversely, taller pile heights may necessitate more frequent brushing/brooming.
Choosing Artificial Grass Height
Choosing the right artificial grass height is a decision that should be based on a combination of aesthetic preferences, intended use, environmental factors, and maintenance requirements. By carefully considering these factors and evaluating your specific needs, you can select a height that enhances the beauty and functionality of your outdoor space. Whether you opt for a shorter pile height for practicality or a taller pile height for luxurious comfort, synthetic grass offers a versatile solution for creating a vibrant, green landscape that remains pristine year round.
