In short<\/p>\n\n\n

Artificial grass looks real when it mimics the irregularities of natural grass: multiple shades of green<\/strong>, brown or beige thatch<\/strong> at the base of the blades, matte fibers<\/strong> without shine, an appropriate pile height<\/strong>, and high density<\/strong>. Just as important is the installation: consistent installation direction<\/strong>, invisible seams<\/strong>, and clean edges. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n

The wish of many garden owners: artificial grass that visitors only recognize as such upon second glance. This is possible today \u2013 provided the product and installation are right. Here we show you what matters. <\/p>\n\n

Which pile height looks most natural?<\/h2>\n\n

A well-maintained garden lawn is usually a few centimeters high. Artificial grass with a pile height<\/a> in the medium range therefore often looks the most realistic. Very short surfaces are more reminiscent of sports fields or grass carpets<\/a>, while very long ones can look untidy if they are not dense enough. <\/p>\n\n

The installation is a deciding factor<\/h2>\n\n
