Super impressed with my newly installed smart grass. Expectional customer service from measurement and quote. Jharn's attention to detail impressed .As my property is small I was treated professionally and respectally that they would happily take on any size job. Insulation went seamlessly with excellent communication. Liam's work ethic is to the highest standard with working around neighbors(shared driveway) and clean up after Insulation. I'm so happy with the smart grass its the best investment and my greyhound loves zooming around on it.

My experience dealing with Smart Grass has been fabulous. From my first meeting with Cameron through until the installation was complete, I could not fault any aspect. Communication was regular and always easily accessible. Richard and Jayden were meticulous in their work and such nice guys to have working on my property. Their knowledge of the product and what was involved, was impressive. Most importantly, I am thrilled with the end result and would recommend Smart Grass without hesitation. A very satisfied customer.

We have just had both our back and front lawns done with Smart Grass. I should qualify that as both these areas were the original paddock as we live rurally. Jharn came out and did the quoting and pricing and made a couple of sensible suggestions on how we could save some money by squaring off the proposed lawn in a couple of places. Very helpful. Glen Liam and Nick completed the work on our back lawn in double quick time as this area is fenced for our dogs so it meant we didn't have to keep them in the barn for too long. It looks amazing and the dogs are really enjoying it. Two weeks later Glen and Liam did our front lawn which looks amazing. The guys worked very consistently and it was completed in 3.5 days. We were as impressed by the level of service as we were by their workmanship. We can't thank you enough and would highly recommend your company, product and people. Many thanks Nicki and Grant

I had a great experience with Smart Grass creating a small functional area for my home gym. From the initial consultation with Cameron through to the installation by Rich and Connal, the whole process was easy. Communication was excellent, the team was professional and thorough, and the installation was completed to a very high standard. I’m really pleased with how the space turned out and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Smart Grass. 🙏🏻

I am thrilled by my new lawn it looks great, where there where muddy puddles is now green and lush looking grass. The sales consultant Jharm was very enthusiastic without being pushy and the installers Nick and Connal did a GREAT job and were very happy to dig up and remove plants from the area.

We met Jharn at a Home Expo and we were very impressed with his knowledge and enthusiasm for the company and product. The team communicated well to manage expectations on installation which allowed us to plan ahead. Glen was accommodating during installation and able to work with us when given a different access option. Glen and Zane kept the site super tidy and put down protection on our deck and driveway to ensure it wasn’t damaged. Overall, everyone we dealt with was wonderful and I would highly recommend SmartGrass.

Last week Liam from Smart Grass installed artificial grass at my house, and I couldn’t be happier. Liam was knowledgeable, friendly and hardworking. An asset to Smart Grass, who are very lucky to have him on their team.

Thank you to Glen, Zane and Jharn for a great job on my new grass. A friendly team. The particular attention during the install made it look like natural grass, but I will never have to trim the edges!

How SmartGrass Works

Your existing lawn is dug out and replaced with a layer of free draining compacted rock. SmartGrass is then laid over this permeable base, and dressed with a layer of very fine sand.

The sand that is spread on top of the grass has two jobs:

  1. This sand (called “sand infill”) sits between the grass blades and weighs down the lawn – it also makes it impossible for dogs to dig through, because it locks in place.
  2. It stops any dog poo or debris getting stuck between the blades of grass making it easy to pick up.

SmartGrass is installed on a base of compacted rock – similar to what is underneath pavers. This is free draining (so the dog pee disappears), and because it is strong, the base won’t undulate overtime (unlike a real lawn).

Common questions

What maintenance is required on artificial grass?

There are a few things you need to do to maintain your artificial lawn, depending on what you use your lawn for.

They are:

  1. Removing leaves and debris regularly with a broom or leaf blower/vac
  2. Remove the occasional weed that may appear
  3. Use a moss & sanitiser spray yearly in shaded areas
  4. You can learn more about maintenance and book a professional maintenance service here.

How is SmartGrass different to other turf?

SmartGrass Earth Series is 100% recyclable, and three times more durable. This means it lasts longer than any competitors’ products and carries a 10 year warranty.

SmartGrass has a range of turf that has been developed for high end residential homes instead of preschools. This is designed to look more like real grass.

SmartGrass Earth Series drains 5 times faster than other latex backed turf, which is essential in poor draining areas, and when dogs pee on it.

Who will install the grass for me?

Our local SmartGrass franchisee will usually be the one to install your lawn. They are professional turf installers (it’s all they do).

Can you DIY Artificial Grass at Home?

Our team is ready to transform your lawn, but if you’re a keen DIYer we have a handy guide to help you upgrade to SmartGrass. We can supply you with various blade length and grass types options so that you can create the perfect lawn for your home.

How long does artificial grass last?

SmartGrass has a 10 year warranty, however in many applications it will last 15-20 years with regular maintenance. This is the same as our high performance sports turfs, which have up to 40 hours of use a week for 15 years.

How much does SmartGrass cost?

Contact us for a ballpark estimate over the phone or a measure & quote at home.

Artificial grass itself is priced per square metre (typically between $45-80/m2 +gst depending on the type), however the cost of the installation depends on a few factors.

A professional installation that is 30-100m2 in size typically costs (for the supply and installation of the grass):

  • $120-180/m2 for direct installation to a prepared base, concrete, patios, decks and balconies.
  • $180-$380/m2 for converting an existing lawn (i.e. the full excavation, base construction, supply and installation of artificial grass).

Small areas (under 30m2) tend to cost approx. $300-$450/m2. Areas over 100m2 will benefit from scale of economies.

For comparison, SmartGrass does cost significantly more than a real lawn up front, but saves you thousands in maintenance costs long term. Per square metre, fully installed, SmartGrass is a similar cost to paving /outdoor tiles. SmartGrass is about half the cost of Kwila decking. A lot of the investment is associated with removing the exisiting lawn and then preparing a base for the SmartGrass – this ensures your lawn will properly drain and still look perfect for years to come.

The above figures are ballparks only. When we visit you we will assess your requirements and provide you a bespoke proposal which includes pricing for your custom solution. There are 23 factors that we consider to determine the cost of your installation which include things like the product you choose, your location, shape of the area, technicality of the install, access to site and the base preparation requirements. Areas that have difficult access (such as staircases) often cost more because of the earthmoving component. 

Can you install Artificial Grass on Concrete?

SmartGrass can easily be installed over concreted areas with the right preparation, and the result will be just as impressive as if you were replacing an existing lawn. Transforming concrete areas into a beautiful lawn is a great way to add new life to your home.
