Everything you need to know about artificial grass in the Algarve.
Our premium materials come with a 7-year manufacturer's product guarantee. With proper installation and basic maintenance, you can expect 15-20 years of service in Algarve conditions.
UV stabilisation prevents the fading that cheaper products suffer from. The actual lifespan depends on usage, maintenance, and local conditions, but quality artificial grass is a long-term investment.
Yes. Our materials are non-toxic, free from heavy metals, and certified safe for contact. We offer antimicrobial infill options for additional hygiene — particularly useful for pet owners.
The surface is soft underfoot, and because artificial grass requires no pesticides, herbicides, or fertilisers, there's no chemical exposure risk. It's actually safer than natural grass which often requires chemical treatments.
Artificial grass can get warm in direct summer sun — similar to sand or decking. We recommend:
The heat is manageable and comparable to other outdoor surfaces. Many families in the Algarve use artificial grass successfully year-round.
Not if you choose quality materials. Our European-manufactured grasses include UV stabilisers that prevent fading. Cheap imports without proper UV treatment will fade within 1-2 years. That's why we only use certified, UV-stable products from established manufacturers.
Most residential gardens take 3-4 days. Small terraces might be 1-2 days, while large estates can take 1-2 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline with your quote.
Factors affecting timeline include access (narrow gates, steps), existing surface removal, complexity (shapes, trees), and weather conditions.
We handle all preparation, including removing existing grass and excavating. You just need to ensure clear access to the garden. We'll discuss any specific requirements during the initial consultation.
Yes, with proper drainage solutions. We install shock pads for comfort and ensure water can drain effectively. This is common for terrace installations.
Proper drainage is built into our installation process. The base includes falls for water runoff, and the grass backing is permeable. Puddling indicates poor installation — which we avoid through proper base construction.
Very little maintenance required:
That's it. Compare that to weekly mowing, watering, and treating natural grass.
Yes, but use furniture with wide feet or place pavers underneath to prevent indentations. Heavy furniture left in one place for months may cause flattening — rotate periodically to maintain appearance.
We install weed membrane during base construction. Occasional weeds might appear at edges — simply pull them out. It's significantly less weeding than natural grass requires.
Costs depend on size, access, and material choice. As a guide:

Consider the ongoing costs of natural grass (water, mowing, treatments, equipment) — typically €10-15 per m² per year. Artificial grass pays for itself in 3-5 years, then provides 10+ years of savings.
Plus, you get a perfect lawn year-round, no matter the weather or water restrictions. For holiday rental properties, the always-presentable garden is essential for bookings.
