Artificial Grass in Melbourne: Pros, Cons & Installation Costs

Artificial grass has become increasingly popular across Melbourne, particularly in high-traffic family yards, pet-friendly gardens, and rental properties. Modern synthetic turf looks remarkably realistic and eliminates the ongoing costs of mowing, watering, and fertilising — a real advantage during Melbourne's water restrictions.

Quality artificial grass installation in Melbourne typically costs $60-$120 per square metre, including base preparation, drainage, and infill. The total cost for an average backyard lawn (50-80 sqm) runs $4,000-$9,000. Cheaper products are available but tend to fade, flatten, and look obviously fake within a few years.
