Artificial grass backyard beside a fenced pool

Artificial grass & synthetic turf installation · Melbourne

A lawn for living.

Artificial grass supplied and installed across Melbourne. Spend less time mowing and more time enjoying your yard.

  • Your weekends, without mowing
  • More room to enjoy your yard
  • No surprise fees

Your yard, ready for more.

A backyard, a courtyard or a narrow side passage. We assess the space, the ground and how you want to use it, then quote the complete installation.

Synthetic turf installation is more than laying artificial grass over an existing surface. EKO assesses how the space will be used, helps compare suitable turf options, removes or prepares the existing surface, constructs and compacts the base, sets the levels and drainage, then cuts, joins, secures and finishes the turf. Product choice can be matched to appearance, softness, pets, children, foot traffic and budget.

What you get

  • Consistent green presentation with no mowing or routine watering
  • A surface option suited to high-use, pet or play areas
  • Cleaner levels, edges and drainage than a surface-only installation

What we can include

  • Artificial grass supply and installation
  • Removal and disposal where required
  • Base preparation and suitable levels
  • Cutting, joining, edges and infill

Inclusions are agreed in your written quote.

Choosing the right turf.

Expert guidance

People call it artificial grass, synthetic turf or fake grass. Whichever name you use, pile height (how long the grass blades are) is only one part of choosing it.

Density, fibre shape, backing, drainage, UV protection, colour blend and the quality of the prepared base can matter just as much to appearance and long-term performance.

01

Best for · Busy, pet or easy-clean areas

Around 20–30 mm

A shorter, firmer pile is often easier to brush and clean and can suit higher-use areas. The exact feel still depends heavily on fibre and density.

02

Best for · Balanced residential appearance

Around 30–40 mm

This common residential range can provide a fuller lawn look without becoming excessively long. Product quality and use should still guide the choice.

03

Best for · A softer, more plush appearance

40 mm and above

Longer piles can look lush, but may need more brushing and can show flattening in traffic lanes. These products often carry a higher material cost.

04

Best for · Making a genuine product comparison

Specification before height

Two products with the same pile height can perform very differently. EKO compares yarn density, fibre construction, backing, drainage and warranty, not just the number on the sample.

A good lawn starts underneath.

Enjoy the lawn beyond day one. A carefully prepared base supports the finish you see and the space you use.

Turf is cut, joined and secured. Infill is selected to suit the turf product and use.

Tell us what you have in mind.

What affects the price?

Area, access, removal, base preparation and your chosen turf affect the price. Your written quote sets out the agreed work and materials.

Can artificial grass suit pets?

Tell us about your pets. We can talk through suitable turf, drainage and cleaning. Suitability depends on the product and installation.

Can you install over concrete?

Existing concrete or paving needs a separate assessment of drainage, levels and fixing. Send photos so we can discuss what is suitable.

How long does installation take?

The size, access and preparation required determine the schedule. We confirm timing when the scope is agreed.

Does it still need care?

Yes. Artificial grass needs cleaning and care suited to its use and product. It removes mowing and routine watering, and we explain the recommended upkeep at handover.

Is 40 mm or 50 mm turf always better?

No. A taller pile may feel softer and look fuller, but shorter products can be more practical for heavy traffic, pets or easier cleaning. Density, fibre, backing, drainage and site preparation all matter.

Can synthetic turf be installed over the existing lawn?

A durable installation normally requires the existing surface to be removed or appropriately prepared, followed by a stable, compacted and level base. The exact build-up depends on the site.

Which areas do you cover?

We’re based in Melbourne’s north and work anywhere in Melbourne. For artificial grass, we’ll travel further for the right job. See our service areas page.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes. Our installation work comes with a 12-month workmanship guarantee on joins, edges and levels. If one lifts or dips because of how we laid it, we come back and fix it free.
