If you live in Perth, you will probably be aware of the increasing use of synthetic grass in gardens and other residential settings in recent years.

You would also probably be aware that numerous ways of getting synthetic grass for your home have emerged.

When we started Green Planet Grass we were determined to provide products and services which Perth householders could rely on, particularly because synthetic grass is still a relatively new product for the Australian market place.

We invested a lot of time and resources to ensure that we could supply the best quality Australian-made turf available and guarantee that our professional installation services would stand up to the many tests outdoor surfaces encounter on a daily basis.

It is important that our customers trust Green Planet Grass because we want them to be comfortable with the investment they are making for their homes.

And we believe that trust is a key reason why we recently passed the 4,000 lawn mark in Western Australia. That’s around 1,000 households a year making ongoing savings on their water bills and having much more leisure time to enjoy their lawn rather than toiling over the maintenance.

We are renowned as the synthetic grass specialists in Perth because that is our vocation. We are dedicated to high quality surfaces, wherever we are asked to install them.

To put the number of lawns we have created for Perth householders into perspective we should point out that we very rarely install lawn on areas less than 20m². Obviously, most Perth plots are much larger than that and we have created all shapes and sizes of lawns right across the metropolitan area.

The average size of our lawn installs is somewhere in the region of 40m², which means the total area of lawn we have installed in Perth exceeds 160,000m² – that is eight times the size of Australia’s most iconic sporting surface at the MCG!

And, taking into account the fact that a 50m² Buffalo grass natural lawn requires around 73,000 litres of water per year to stay green, we reckon our lawns should have saved Perth households a total well in excess of 200 million litres of water since 2008. And that’s just a start because our lawns will never need watering!

We haven’t mentioned the commercial and sports installations we have created so far in this blog but this continues to be a growing area for our business, with many clubs and local government authorities continuing to recognise the sustainable aspects of synthetic grass.

Meanwhile, our lawns continue to grow in popularity across Perth and with new installs on a daily basis we continue to pride ourselves on the products and services we offer as we work towards the 5,000-mark.

While the number of Green Planet Grass lawns has been growing steadily around Perth in the last few years, the use of state of the art synthetic surfaces for sports and leisure has created a significant upsurge in demand for the synthetic grass specialists.

As we’ve said before, laying perfect lawn is not an easy business if you want to get it right but commercial and sports surfaces require even more planning and preparation. Green Planet Grass quickly recognised the significant benefits of synthetic sports surfaces because of their impressive durability and low maintenance.

Getting the product right is essential, which is why we supply and install not only a wide range of synthetic grass products for tennis, golf, cricket, football and multisports but also acrylic hard court surfaces – such as those used in the Australian Open – for an even wider range of sport and leisure activities.

What has really made a difference for local government authorities choosing to use Green Planet Grass products though is the fact that we project manage every aspect of a sporting development from start to finish. This gives reassurance to council executives keen to spend rate payers’ dollars wisely – they know they will save on maintenance costs in the long run and are given extra confidence from the outstanding quality of the finished product.

And this is why our sports surfaces have been so popular in regional Western Australia. In the last couple of years there have been few regions that haven’t been touched by a sporty Green Planet Grass makeover, from the Great Southern right up to the Pilbara. We have installed sports surfaces in Wheatbelt towns, Mid West Shires and even major mine sites.

Having put the finishing touches to no less than eight synthetic grass tennis courts at York’s Forrest Oval (no less than 4,200m²!) our installers took flight to the Pilbara town of Karratha to install four more tennis courts at the Bulgurra Tennis Club managed by the Shire of Roebourne.

Of course these new sports facilities are in addition to those installed around metropolitan Perth, with cricket, basketball and football installations well received in the north, south, east and west of the metro area.

We’re delighted to be growing our reputation right across WA’s vast regions and we know that it’s because we deliver quality. We know our clients and the countless people who play sport on the surfaces we install demand the best so we go every inch of the way to ensure that our synthetic grass and acrylic hard court surfaces perform to the max.
