Where it makes sense
A green lawn without watering or mowing
Real grass in a Riyadh summer needs constant water and care. Synthetic turf stays green all year, never turns to mud, and needs no mowing or irrigation.
We lay it in villa gardens, on roofs, in the courtyard of a majlis (the traditional guest sitting area), at istirahas or rest houses, in school play areas, on mini pitches and along shop frontages. Each needs its own product and base.
- Villa lawns and paths between beds
- Roof terraces, balconies and pool surrounds
- Rest houses and majlis courtyards
- Play areas and mini pitches
Green all yearno watering, no mowing
Match the turf to the job
Landscape, rooftop and sports turf compared
Garden lawns and pitch turf are built for very different jobs.
Soft landscape grass for homes and istirahas
Landscape turf has a longer, fuller pile with short curly brown fibres at the base, the "thatch", which mimics dry grass and helps blades stand up. Ideal for family seating.
- Barefoot-friendly softness
- Multi-tone colour for realism
- Laid on a compacted, sanded base
Rooftop turf that drains fast
On a roof the grass goes over an existing hard surface, so we choose a well-perforated backing and sometimes add a foam underlay for comfort and water flow. The priorities are protecting the waterproofing, keeping drains reachable and fixing edges against wind.
- No fixings through the membrane
- Drain outlets left accessible
- Perimeter secured against gusts
Turf for playgrounds and mini pitches
Play areas need a shorter, tougher grass, with a shock pad wherever children can fall from climbing frames. Five-a-side pitches generally use a longer pile with sand and rubber infill, while padel courts take a very short, sand-filled turf for a fast, even bounce.
- Hard-wearing fibres
- Infill chosen for the sport
- Line markings where needed
Pile height and density explained
Decorative garden turf is typically 25 to 40 mm. Shorter piles are easier to clean and stay upright on busy paths; very long piles can flatten unless brushed.
Density is how many stitches are packed into each square metre. Dense turf hides the backing and copes better with foot traffic. Quick test: part the blades with your fingers — if the backing shows straight away, density is low.
Blade shape and colour tones
Blades may be flat, C-shaped, W-shaped or have a central spine. Curved and spined profiles spring back better and reflect less glare under Riyadh's midday sun.
A multi-tone mix of lime, olive and field green with brown thatch looks convincing in a home garden. Flat bright green suits pitches but looks plastic around a villa, so we like you to see samples in daylight on your own ground.
Backing, drainage and what sits underneath
A perforated backing lets water through, but only if the layer below drains too. Without a slight fall or permeable base, water pools and smells follow.
- Gardens: compacted aggregate topped with levelled sand, set to a gentle fall.
- Roofs: water runs over existing tiles to the drains, so we keep that path clear.
- Pitches: sand infill holds the turf down and must still drain freely.

Heat, kids and pets
Keeping synthetic turf comfortable in a Riyadh summer
In full sun, artificial grass gets noticeably hotter than a natural lawn, especially at midday.
A quick rinse first
Hosing down before children play cools the grass for a while; mornings and after sunset are usually most pleasant.
UV-stabilised yarns
UV-treated fibres fade more slowly, though any lawn loses some colour after years of full sun.
Safe for children
Flat, fixed edges to prevent trips, shock pads under climbing frames and blades that will not graze knees.
Pet-friendly when it drains
Pick up solids, rinse regularly and use a pet-odour cleaner when needed.
Watch for reflections
Mirrored glass can focus sunlight and distort fibres; we check on site.
Ground installation
How we prepare the ground before laying turf
Good groundwork shows months later: no ripples, weeds or puddles.
Clear and dig out
Weeds, roots and stones come out, and weak topsoil is removed as needed.
Compacted sub-base
Crushed stone is compacted, then topped with sand levelled to a fall away from the building.
Membrane and edging
A weed barrier goes down and firm edging is set along beds and paths.
Lay and join
Rolls face the same direction and seams are bonded with joining tape and adhesive.
Infill and brush
Sand goes in where needed and the pile is brushed up before a clean handover.
Rooftop installs
Three checks before we lay grass on a roof
Waterproofing first. A cracked or blistered membrane should be repaired before it is covered. We never nail through it; edges are glued or weighted.
Drain outlets. Turf is cut neatly around each drain with a lift-out section, since dust and leaves collect there after sandstorms.
Wind and weight. Seams are bonded and edges secured against gusts, and we consider the load of any sand infill.

Care and pitfalls
Simple care routine and the mistakes that shorten turf life
Easy habits
- Brush against the grain every few weeks.
- Hose down to wash out fine dust.
- Top up infill where it has thinned.
Mistakes we get called to fix
- Laying on loose soil, so ripples appear.
- Skipping the weed membrane.
- Rolls with the pile running different ways.
- Covering roof drains with turf or sand.
- A very long pile on a busy path.
- Barbecues or hot coals on the grass.

How well does artificial grass cope with Riyadh's summer heat?
UV-stabilised turf handles years of strong sun, but its real lifespan depends on quality, use and care. Areas in full sun all day fade faster than shaded ones, so rather than a blanket promise we explain what to expect for your space at the visit.
Can you install grass on a roof that has waterproofing?
Yes, provided the membrane is sound. We inspect first, fix the turf with adhesive or weighted edges rather than nails, and keep drains accessible. If the waterproofing is damaged, repair it before laying, as grass would only hide a leak.
What pile height suits a family garden with young children?
A medium pile of roughly 25 to 35 mm with good density and soft blades is comfortable for sitting and play and does not flatten quickly. Under swings, slides or climbing frames, we recommend a shock pad beneath the grass in the fall zone.
Is artificial turf a good idea if I have dogs?
Yes, if the drainage underneath is good. Pick up solids, rinse regularly and use a pet-odour cleaner when needed. A perforated backing over a permeable base stops liquids pooling; turf laid on a sealed surface with no fall is what usually causes smells.
How do I clean the lawn after a sandstorm?
Use a leaf blower or rake for leaves and coarse dust, then hose down to flush out fine particles. Once dry, brush against the grain so the pile stands up. Avoid harsh chemicals or sharp tools that could cut fibres.
Can artificial grass go straight over tiles or concrete?
Yes, it is common on roofs, balconies and tiled courtyards. The surface needs a fall that sheds water and should be clean and level. A foam underlay can add comfort and hide tile joints, and glued edges keep it in place.
What is the difference between football turf and padel turf?
Five-a-side turf has a longer pile with sand and rubber infill for grip and cushioning. Padel turf is very short and sand-filled only, giving a fast, even bounce and safe sideways slides. One cannot replace the other, so we choose by sport and court size.
