Buy Artificial Grass With Confidence

What Artificial Grass Works Best in a Small Garden?

In a small garden, pile height is the most important visual decision. A 40mm pile that looks natural in a large family garden can look disproportionately heavy in a compact courtyard. For most small gardens and courtyards, 25mm–35mm gives the most proportionate result. Elia at 25mm is our most common recommendation for compact spaces. Vela at 35mm for small gardens where a fuller look is preferred.

Artificial Grass for Courtyards

Courtyards typically have full or partial hard surfacing with a defined grass area. Artificial grass in a courtyard is usually viewed from close range and surrounded by hard landscaping materials. The interface between the grass edge and the surrounding paving is an important visual detail — clean edge finishing is as important as the grass itself. Our installation guide covers courtyard edge finishing in detail.

Will Artificial Grass Make a Small Garden Look Bigger?

Yes — a consistent green surface makes a small garden feel more spacious than broken-up paving or mixed surfacing. A grass with good colour variation and appropriate pile height reads as a garden rather than a decorative feature. Laying the pile direction toward the main viewing point makes the surface look at its most natural from where you’ll spend most time.

How Do Joins Work in a Small Garden?

For most small gardens, a single width of artificial grass covering the whole area means no joins at all — one of the advantages of our roll widths from 1m to 5m. Even in irregularly shaped small gardens, careful planning can often eliminate joins entirely. Where a join is necessary, correct installation technique makes it virtually invisible.
