How to choose artificial grass
How to choose artificial grass comes down to one question: not which is best, but which is right for your space. Fibre height, density and use: that is what to look at before you buy.
Two years ago Mundo Sport Global was born with one clear idea: to transform spaces and turn them into places of their own.
We started out hoping to offer artificial grass solutions that combined looks, quality and function. Little by little our projects grew, and we found that every space had a different story to tell.
Gardens, terraces, pools, hotels, restaurants, offices and sports facilities gave way to new challenges: events, weddings, concerts, trade fairs and celebrations where artificial grass is combined with flowers, plants, vertical gardens and decorative pieces.
That is why we keep growing today with the same enthusiasm as on day one, creating green spaces and special settings that surprise, inspire and stay in the memory.
Two years of experience, hundreds of ideas and one goal that has not changed: making every space an extraordinary place.
Why choosing well matters
Artificial grass has become an increasingly common way to transform gardens, terraces, pools, roof terraces, sports areas, businesses and events.
But not all artificial grass is the same.
That is why fibre height, density, type of finish, resistance and, above all, how the surface will be used are the things to consider before choosing.
In this guide we explain how to choose the artificial grass best suited to each space.
What is artificial grass?
Artificial grass is a surface made of synthetic fibres that imitate the look of natural grass.
It is highly versatile, which means it can be used in all kinds of projects: from small private gardens and terraces to hotels, restaurants, sports facilities, trade fairs, concerts and large events.
Beyond its use as a decorative element, there are also models designed specifically for certain sporting and professional uses.
How do you choose the right artificial grass?
The right question is not which artificial grass is best, but which artificial grass suits each space.
Before choosing, it is worth looking at several factors.
1. Where will it be installed?
Installing artificial grass in a garden is not the same as on a terrace, around a pool, on a sports court or at an event.
Every space has different needs.
2. Fibre height
The height of the fibre has a direct effect on how the grass looks and feels.
Shorter models can work well for certain uses and for areas with heavy footfall, while taller models can give a fuller, more natural look.
3. Density
The number of fibres per unit of surface affects the final look and how well the fibre recovers after use.
That is why density should be weighed up together with the height and the characteristics of the fibre.
4. Colour and appearance
Today's artificial grass comes in different shades and fibre combinations.
Models that combine different tones of green can achieve a particularly natural look.
Artificial grass for gardens
The garden is one of the most common uses.
A good choice can completely transform an outdoor area and create a green space to enjoy all year round.
Home gardens
Artificial grass can be used in private gardens, courtyards, seating areas and all kinds of outdoor spaces.
Modern gardens
It is also a good option for outdoor design projects that set out to combine grass with stone, wood, plants, lighting or furniture.
Artificial grass for terraces and balconies
Terraces, balconies and roof terraces can become green spaces too.
A small outdoor space can change completely once artificial grass is combined with plants, planters, lighting and furniture.
Ideas for a terrace with artificial grass
You can combine it with:
- Planters.
- Artificial plants.
- Outdoor furniture.
- Decorative lighting.
- Plant panels.
- Chill-out areas.
The result can be a far cosier and more personal space.
Artificial grass for pools
Around a pool, artificial grass can become a leading decorative element.
In addition, it creates a visual transition between the pool, the garden and the relaxation areas.
It can also be combined with stone, wood, planters and other landscaping features.
Artificial grass for pets
Pets are part of many families, and the garden has to suit them too.
There are artificial grass solutions designed for spaces shared with dogs and other animals.
In these projects it is especially important to weigh up durability, drainage and how easy it is to clean.
Artificial grass for sport
Artificial grass also has sports uses, but it is best to be clear: ours is landscaping and decoration grass, not grass certified for competition.
Competition pitches and courts
A 7-a-side or 11-a-side football pitch, a padel court or a tennis court need specific products and certifications for each sport. That is why we do not offer it for that use.
Where it does fit in a sports setting
On the other hand, it works very well around sport: perimeters, sidelines, entrances, functional training areas, gyms, club terraces and social areas.
Putting green for golf practice
Para el golf la lógica se invierte: la bola tiene que rodar, así que interesa fibra corta y densa. Hoy no tenemos en catálogo un césped específico de putting green.
Artificial grass for events
Who said artificial grass was only for gardens?
Events offer enormous scope.
You can find it at:
- Concerts.
- Festivals.
- Trade fairs.
- Weddings.
- Corporate events.
- VIP areas.
- Stands.
- Photo walls.
- Product launches.
- Chill-out spaces.
The grass can be used to create separate zones, walkways and seating areas, or simply to add a different visual element.
Artificial grass for hotels and restaurants
Businesses can use artificial grass as part of their image and decoration too.
Restaurant terraces, hotel outdoor areas, rooftops, chill-out spaces and reception areas can all take green solutions to create a more attractive setting.
Artificial grass and plant decoration: a striking combination
One of the most interesting trends is combining artificial grass with different plant decoration features.
For example:
Artificial grass + vertical garden + planters + artificial flowers + lighting.
That way, this combination creates spaces with a lot of personality.
Artificial vertical gardens
In fact, a green wall can completely transform an empty surface.
Flower walls
Artificial flower walls are especially popular for weddings, events, restaurants, hotels and photo walls.
Plant panels
Plant panels make it quick to create decorative walls that look good straight away.
In short: how to choose artificial grass by use
How to choose artificial grass always depends on the project.
Quality artificial grass at a great price
For a home, what you are usually after is a balance between looks, comfort and durability.
For a terrace, it can be important to weigh up the space available, the footfall and the installation system.
For pets, drainage and upkeep deserve particular attention.
For sports facilities, you have to use solutions designed specifically for each discipline.
And for events, looks, versatility and the demands of setting up and taking down can be the deciding factors.
The key is to choose by use
Before buying artificial grass, ask yourself these questions:
Where am I going to install it?
How much use will it get?
Will it be a walkway?
Will there be pets or children?
Is it a sports project?
Is the installation permanent or temporary?
What look do I want?
Answering these questions will point the choice in a much better direction.
That is why it is worth having them clear before asking for a quote.
We transform spaces with artificial grass and plant decoration
Artificial grass can be much more than a green surface.
It can become the basis of a complete decoration and outdoor design project.
From a small garden to a large installation for an event, the scope is enormous.
In our projects we combine artificial grass, vertical gardens, flowers, plants, planters, palms and other decorative pieces to create spaces suited to each need.
Still unsure?
If you are still not sure how to choose artificial grass, tell us where it goes and how much it will be walked on. Then we will tell you which fibre height fits and how many metres you really need.
