Buy Artificial Grass for Children

Grass chosen for children: soft fibres with no sharp edges, and enough pile depth to take a knock. These are the rolls we would put down for our own garden.
For a climbing frame or a trampoline area, lay it over shockpad underlay — the grass softens the surface, the shockpad is what actually absorbs a fall.
For a play lawn the grass needs to be soft to fall on, dense enough not to flatten under a trampoline or slide, and quick to clean. Eight ranges qualify, and for most families the answer is Dan 38mm at £8.99 per square metre: soft, dense for its price, and short enough that grass cuttings, mud and crumbs brush straight out. Val and Jers are the choices if the lawn doubles as a football pitch, because their fibres spring back after being trampled.
Under swings and climbing frames, lay a shockpad underlay beneath the grass; it takes the impact out of a fall and is what nurseries use. Avoid the very short piles, which are hard underfoot, and the longest 45mm, which holds more debris. Every roll is cut to your length in 2m, 4m or 5m widths, with free samples to feel first. Free delivery over £190.

Frequently asked questions
Is artificial grass safe for children?
Yes. The yarn is non-toxic and made without zinc, benzene or arsenic, there are no pesticides, fertilisers or mud, and the sand infill is kiln-dried play sand rather than rubber crumb. It stays cooler than paving in summer and a quick hose cools it further.
Which artificial grass is best for a play area?
Dan 38mm at £8.99 per square metre for a lawn that is played on and sat on; Val 38mm or Ens 38mm for a softer, more realistic version; Lux 30mm for a nursery or a small garden that has to stay tidy. All eight ranges on this page are tagged for children.
Can I put a trampoline or slide on it?
Yes. Put the feet on rubber pads so they do not wear a spot in the pile, and move the trampoline a little now and then so the grass underneath recovers. A shockpad underlay adds fall protection under climbing frames.
Does it get slippery when wet?
No more than a real lawn. The pile drains through the backing in minutes and the fibres have grip. It is far less slippery than decking or paving after rain.
