Artificial Grass for Small Gardens and Balconies

On a balcony or a sound concrete yard there is nothing to excavate. Instead we check the existing falls, fit a drainage mat or foam underlay so water can still reach the outlets, then bond or ballast the grass so it cannot lift.

This is where cheap installs go wrong. Grass laid flat onto a slab with no fall traps water, and trapped water on a covered balcony turns green and slippery within a season.

Roof terraces and balconies have load limits and, if you are renting or in a leasehold block, rules about what can be fixed down. We use ballasted or adhesive free methods where drilling is not allowed, and we keep total build up low so door thresholds still clear.

Wind lift is the other overlooked risk above ground level. A loose edge on a fourth floor terrace is not just untidy, it is a hazard, so perimeters get bonded rather than pinned.

Run the pile direction away from the main door and the space reads longer. Keep the green as one unbroken shape rather than several fussy cut outs. Take the grass right to the wall on at least one side so the eye does not stop at a border. These are small decisions that cost nothing and change how the finished courtyard feels.
