Artificial Grass Designed for Comfortable, Low-Maintenance Retirement Living
After switching to SmartGrass, your maintenance schedule becomes a lot lighter. There’s no more mowing, weeding, watering, or fertilising; just neat, green spaces around your retirement village with far less ongoing work.
Ordinary grass can be costly and time-consuming to maintain, and it’s often affected by weather, mud, and slip risks. SmartGrass is built differently, using premium materials and soft-fall underlay to create a non-slip, weather-proof surface all-year-round.
Having perfectly manicured lawns without the maintenance isn’t the only benefit to artificial grass for retirement villages. Our Championship 18and Active 12turfs are designed for world-class sporting fields and can make for the best putting, bowling or croquet green at your retirement facility.
SmartGrass is designed to deliver dependable durability in everyday use. It’s also made from tough, recyclable polyethylene, so it stands up well to mobility aids and frequent foot traffic while still feeling soft and lawn-like underfoot..

Durable Artificial Grass for Shared Spaces
The most important difference between ordinary grass and SmartGrass is the reliable durability you get when you make the switch. It isn’t just weather that SmartGrass handles with ease, but high foot-traffic areas too.
When it comes to shared spaces like courtyards, walkways, or communal areas, you want a durable surface that can withstand frequent heavy use from feet and mobility aids without becoming damaged. For retirement homes, safety is just as critical, which is why SmartGrass features a non-slip surface and a specially engineered underlay that provides added padding for softer falls.
