About the service
South Africa’s climate is generous, but maintaining a natural lawn demands water, time, fertiliser and constant attention, resources that are increasingly difficult to justify. Artificial grass delivers the look and feel of a healthy lawn throughout the year, without the maintenance requirements, water usage or seasonal die-back that comes with natural turf.
New Floors Nation supplies and installs high-quality artificial grass across residential, commercial and specialist applications. Our product range covers everything from fine-blade residential lawns and shaded courtyards to high-traffic commercial areas, rooftop installations, play areas and pet-friendly surfaces, each selected for durability, drainage performance and a realistic, natural appearance.
Year-Round Green
Our artificial grass retains its colour and structure regardless of season, drought or shade.
Water-Wise Solution
Artificial grass removes lawn irrigation entirely, cutting water consumption without sacrificing visual impact.
Safe for Families and Pets
Our products are non-toxic, allergen-friendly and built with drainage systems that prevent pooling.
Durable and Low Maintenance
Once installed, artificial grass requires no mowing, watering, fertilising or reseeding.
Artificial Grass for Every Application
Not all artificial grass is created equal, and the application determines the right product specification. Residential lawn replacement calls for a finer, softer blade with natural colour variation that mimics the look of real grass at close range, important in spaces where you will be sitting, playing or entertaining. Commercial and high-traffic applications require a denser, more resilient pile that can withstand continuous foot traffic without matting or wearing thin. Rooftop gardens and balconies need products with superior drainage capability built into the backing, preventing water retention and structural damage beneath. Play areas and children’s facilities benefit from grass installed over shock-absorbing underlay, reducing the impact of falls. Pet areas require permeable backing and antimicrobial treatment for hygiene and easy cleaning. Our team assesses your specific environment, including sun exposure, expected foot traffic, substrate and drainage conditions, before recommending the most suitable product from our range.
What a Professional Artificial Grass Installation Involves
A great-looking artificial grass installation starts well before the grass itself is laid. Ground preparation, base compaction, weed suppression and drainage are what determine whether your lawn looks pristine in year five or develops dips, weeds and drainage issues within months.Â
- Site clearing and ground preparation
- Compacted aggregate base layer installation
- Weed membrane application beneath the turf
- Precision cutting and seamless join management
- Correct pile direction for natural appearance
- Sand or rubber infill for stability and feel
- Edging and border secured for long-term hold
- Post-installation brushing and handover guidance
At New Floors Nation, we manage the entire process from site preparation through to the final infill and brushing.
Frequently asked questions
How long does artificial grass last?
Quality artificial grass, professionally installed, typically has a lifespan of 10 to 15 years depending on foot traffic and sun exposure. UV-stabilised products in our range are specifically designed to resist fading in the South African sun.
Does artificial grass get too hot in summer?
In direct sunlight, artificial grass can become warmer than natural grass during peak afternoon heat. A quick rinse with water cools the surface rapidly. For shaded areas, children’s play zones or spaces used primarily in the morning and evening, heat is rarely a practical concern.
Can artificial grass be installed on a slope or uneven ground?
Yes. Proper ground preparation allows us to install on gentle to moderate slopes. Steeper gradients may require additional sub-base work or anchoring solutions, which we assess and account for during the site consultation.
Is artificial grass suitable for indoor spaces?
Absolutely. Artificial grass is increasingly used indoors in gyms, retail displays, event spaces and office breakaway areas for its texture, visual warmth and practical durability. Indoor installations are simpler as drainage and ground preparation requirements are less intensive.
