Best Artificial Grass 2026: 10 Ranked

Buy this if your lawn is around 2 m by 3 m and you want it to look like grass from the kitchen window. Six square metres of 30mm pile for £39 works out at £6.50 per square metre, the cheapest 30mm turf on this page, and 350 buyers rate it 4.5.

The pile is held by about 15,750 stitches per m² and 497 g/m² of yarn, which is what keeps the fibres standing when children and dogs cross it every day. At 6.82 kg the whole roll is light enough for one person to carry out and unroll, and it needs no sand infill underneath the surface.

The width is the one thing to plan around: at 2 m, a wider lawn takes two pieces joined edge to edge, and only the 2 m and 4 m widths batch-match against each other. If you need a small patch instead, the 2 m² Luxury 30mm costs £19.98, which is £19.02 less for a third of the grass.

This is the pick for a small, busy patch: a doorway, a balcony, or the strip in front of a shed. Two square metres of 30mm pile for £19.98, and 1,800 buyers rate it 4.6, the best record of the ten.

It arrives as two 1 m by 1 m pieces on a water-resistant latex backing with drainage holes, so a shower runs through instead of sitting in the pile. The 30mm depth matches the Antalya, which means the fibres feel and wear alike underfoot.

You pay for the small size: £9.99 per square metre against the Antalya's £6.50, a gap of £3.49. If your space is 4 m² or more, the WALPLUS covers that kind of area with 20mm of pile for £29.99, which is £10.01 more than this pair.

Choose this when density is the priority. It carries 21,000 stitches per m² and 895 g/m² of yarn, with 1,945 g/m² counting the backing, all above anything else of the same depth here.

That density is what you feel through a shoe and what survives a dog turning on the spot, and the 2 m by 2 m piece gives you 4 m² with no join in the middle. At 9.21 kg it is the heaviest roll on this page, so it lies flat quickly but takes two hands to shift into place.

It costs £7.99 per square metre against the Antalya's £6.50, and the Antalya's 6 m² comes in at £7.04 more for two extra square metres. Where the area is a small square with traffic on it, the extra density is worth the carry.

Buy this for a strip along a fence, a path or a shed base, somewhere it is seen from standing height rather than sat on. The 4 m by 1 m roll covers 4 m² for £24.99, which is £6.25 per square metre, and 1,912 buyers have rated it 4.5.

The 15mm pile is half the depth of the 30mm rolls, so it looks neat and reads flat the moment you press on it. At 5.3 kg for the whole strip one person can carry it out and lay it in an afternoon, and the colouring is aimed at full sun.

The light green tone is the giveaway beside a 30mm lawn, which blends several greens into one surface. If the strip is somewhere bare feet land, the WALPLUS gives 20mm of pile over the same 4 m for £29.99, which is £5 more.

This is the one for a small patch that has to feel thick underfoot: 1 m² of 40mm mixed green pile for £9.99, enough for a bench area, a balcony corner or a worn spot on an existing lawn.

The 40mm pile is 10mm deeper than the 30mm rolls and 5mm deeper than the Ark Mat, which is what gives the fuller, softer look from a window. It weighs 1.63 kg, arrives as a single square, and needs no sand infill to stand up.

The price per square metre is where it shows: £9.99 against the Antalya's £6.50, a difference of £3.49, and the Antalya's single roll covers 6 m² for £39. Buy the Bodrum for a patch and the Antalya for a lawn.

Pick this for a small area that has to look convincing from a window or a door: 1.5 m² of 35mm turf in four green tones for £18.95, with 1,648 buyers rating it 4.2.

Its 1,915 g/m² of total weight and 14,700 stitches per m² put the density close to the Jersey, and 32 strands per tuft fill it out more than the 15mm GardenKraft. At 2.1 kg it is easy to lift, cut to shape and brush upright again after a dog has been on it.

Cost per square metre is the catch: £12.63 against the Antalya's £6.50, so covering 6 m² this way would come to £75.78 rather than £39. For anything bigger than a doorway, buy the Antalya.

Buy this when the job is covering ground rather than looking like grass: 9 m² for £49.50, which is £5.50 per square metre and the lowest figure on this page.

A 6mm pile is about a sixth of the Bodrum's 40mm, so it behaves like outdoor carpeting: it sweeps clean, shrugs off wear, and gives no illusion of a lawn up close. The water-resistant latex backing has drainage holes, so it stays usable through a wet winter.

It is also the most expensive single roll here at £49.50, and for £10.50 less the Antalya gives 30mm pile over 6 m². If the area is visible from the house, that £10.50 is the difference between a lawn and a mat.

This is the sensible buy where a dog uses the grass: the latex backing drains rainwater through, and the turf is free of lead and cadmium, which matters on a surface pets and children lie on.

Twenty millimetres of pile over 4 m works out at £7.50 per square metre, £1 more than the Antalya and £1.25 more than the GardenKraft over the same length. The 5.46 kg roll is a one-person job, and the fibres are UV resistant for a spot that catches the sun.

The thinner record is the trade-off: 195 buyers have rated it, against 1,912 behind the GardenKraft. If you would rather buy on a long track record, the GardenKraft costs £5 less over the same 4 m.

This suits a doorway or a small terrace where 1.8 m by 0.9 m is the shape you need: 17mm pile, drainage holes to stop water sitting, and 675 buyers rating it 4.2.

The measurements are what limit it, because 1.62 m² at £17.99 works out at £11.10 per square metre, £4.85 above the GardenKraft. That GardenKraft roll covers more than twice the area for £24.99, so it is the cheaper way to do the doorway and the path beside it.

At 2.3 kg it is light enough to shake out, hose down and move around, and the 17mm pile sits between the GardenKraft's 15mm and the WALPLUS's 20mm. For a lawn rather than a mat, the Antalya's £6.50 per square metre is the better spend.
