Buy Artificial Grass With Confidence

A playground lawn gets more use in one week than most garden lawns get in a year.

Schools and playgrounds demand a different specification from domestic gardens. The use intensity is higher, the wear patterns are more concentrated, and the consequences of getting it wrong — both in terms of safety and longevity — are greater. The grasses on this page have been assessed for high-intensity institutional use.
The real cost of choosing the wrong grass for a school or playground isn’t the purchase price — it’s the replacement cost two years later when an undersized specification has worn through. Schools need grasses that handle hundreds of children daily across play times, sports sessions, and free use. The selection criteria are stricter here.

We don't stock hundreds of grasses. And that's deliberate.

Every grass has to pass three standards before it earns a place — and most don’t.

Resilience by Design

Flat fibres make lawns look fake. We check density so yours stays upright. For schools and playgrounds, fibre density and pile structure are assessed for the kind of sustained, intensive use that commercial installations face — significantly harder than domestic family use.

Real-World Comfort

All grass warms in the sun. We’ll tell you honestly which ones suit south-facing gardens. For playground use, surface temperature on sunny days and cushioning underfoot are the primary comfort considerations — particularly for younger children.

Natural Appearance Filtering

We avoid shiny, flat, artificial-looking grasses — even when they’re cheaper. For school installations, a grass that looks well-maintained signals care for the environment. We look for grasses that recover well with regular maintenance and continue to look good under institutional use.

If it doesn’t meet our standard, it doesn’t make our range. Simple as that.

What Specification Does a School Playground Need?

School playgrounds face the most intensive use of any artificial grass installation. The critical specifications are fibre density (more fibres per m² means more support and resilience), pile structure (structured blade profiles recover after intensive use; flat ribbon fibres don’t), and backing durability for long-term performance. Our Signature Range — particularly Halo — is the recommendation for most school applications. For lower-use areas within a school, Aurora in the Everyday Range handles the load well.

Does Artificial Grass Meet Safety Standards for Playgrounds?

Artificial grass itself doesn’t carry a safety fall rating — that comes from the combination of the grass and the sub-base or underlay beneath it. For playground installations where fall heights are a consideration (under climbing frames, for example), a foam shockpad underlay or a purpose-built safety sub-base is required to achieve the necessary critical fall height rating. Our installation guide covers this in detail and we recommend calling us before specifying for a playground installation.

How Long Will Artificial Grass Last in a School?

Under intensive school use, a correctly specified Signature Range grass will typically last 8–12 years with proper maintenance. The variables are the intensity of use, the quality of the sub-base installation, and whether basic maintenance is carried out. Regular brushing to keep fibres upright, debris removal, and occasional rinsing are the main requirements. Every grass in our range comes with a 10-year guarantee.

Can Artificial Grass Replace Natural Grass in a School?

Artificial grass offers specific advantages in school settings: it remains usable in wet weather, it requires minimal maintenance compared to natural turf, it doesn’t create muddy conditions that are tracked inside, and it recovers from intensive use without recovery periods. For schools that currently close their grass areas after wet weather or during the winter, artificial grass enables year-round outdoor use.

FAQs

The grass is safe — all materials are non-toxic. For fall-height safety compliance under climbing equipment, a foam shockpad underlay or safety sub-base is required. Call us before ordering for a playground installation — we’ll specify the right combination.
Halo is our recommendation for most school applications — highest fibre density, bio-based backing, built for intensive daily use. For lower-traffic areas within a school site, Aurora or Echo in the Everyday Range.
Priced per m² including installation accessories. For large commercial orders, call us on 01245 931200 — we can discuss quantities, specification, and support for the project.
No. One of the main reasons schools choose artificial grass is to eliminate the muddy conditions that come with natural turf in wet weather. Artificial grass drains and remains clean and usable in all conditions.
Yes — artificial grass is suitable for most school sports including football, cricket, athletics, and general PE. For specific sports surface requirements, call us and we’ll advise on the right specification.
Regular brushing with a stiff rake — more frequently in high-traffic areas. Debris and leaf removal to prevent compaction. Occasional rinsing. Schools typically arrange a simple weekly brushing routine. Significantly less maintenance than natural turf.
All grasses in our range are available in widths from 1m to 5m, cut to any length you need. More width options mean fewer joins — particularly useful for larger or irregular-shaped areas. Add 100mm to each dimension as a trimming allowance. If you’re unsure about the right width for your project, call us on 01245 931200 before ordering.
Every grass in our range comes with a 10-year NeoGrass guarantee and a 30-day returns policy. The guarantee covers manufacturing defects and premature deterioration under normal use. If something isn’t right after your order arrives, contact us and we’ll sort it out.
