Would you like a vibrant green space all year round without dedicating hours to maintenance? The artificial lawn is the perfect solution for terraces and gardens seeking a natural look with minimal effort. Transform your exterior into an instant green oasis, with no watering, no mowing, and no soil stains.
But before buying, you need to understand which features really determine the quality and durability of your investment. Not all artificial grasses are alike: pile height, fiber material, UV resistance, and the appropriate traffic level will make the difference between a lawn that lasts ten years and one that degrades in two.

What to consider for artificial grass
This is the practical summary you need before you decide:
- Height: grasses with a height of 20–30 mm are more durable and slip-resistant, ideal for terraces with furniture and frequent foot traffic. Those of 40–45 mm offer a softer feel and a more natural look, perfect for moderate use.
- Material: polyethylene (PE) provides a soft texture and realism; polypropylene (PP) offers strength and durability. The combination of both ensures a lawn that closely mimics natural grass while maintaining its integrity.
- UV and chlorine: if your terrace gets direct sun for hours or you have a pool nearby, the grass should include UV protection and chlorine resistance. Without these properties, fibers discolor and lose elasticity in 1–2 years.
- Traffic: for daily use with children, pets or heavy furniture, you need high-traffic grass. For decorative balconies with occasional use, moderate traffic is sufficient and more economical.
- Drainage: a synthetic lawn with good drainage allows rainwater to pass through, preventing puddles and slipping. Look for products with permeability of at least 40 litres/minute/m².

How to choose artificial grass: key features to look for
Don’t rely solely on the catalog price… the technical features determine whether your grass will last ten years or degrade in two. Every technical detail has a direct impact on your daily experience.
Pile height
The pile height ranges from 20 mm to 45 mm in the Brico Depot range. Grass of 20–30 mm is more compact and resistant, perfect for areas with heavy furniture and daily traffic. Those of 38–45 mm offer a softer touch underfoot and a more natural visual appearance, closely mimicking real grass.
The pile height defines the balance between durability and realism: less than 30 mm for heavy use, more than 40 mm for maximum softness.
For terraces with outdoor furniture, look for 20–30 mm to avoid sinking. For gardens where kids run around or pets play, 38–45 mm is the ideal choice.
Fiber material
The best artificial grasses combine polyethylene (PE) for a soft touch + polypropylene (PP) for structural strength. PE provides visual realism and softness to the contact; PP guarantees that fibers won’t tear with frequent use. This combination is the benchmark for premium quality.
The PE + PP combination is the key to durable grass: PE for softness, PP for resistance to wear.
Avoid 100% polypropylene models if you want a natural feel… PE is essential to mimic the softness of real grass.
UV and chlorine resistance
If your terrace or garden receives direct sun for more than 4 hours a day, or if you have a pool nearby, the grass must be UV resistant and chlorine resistant. Without this protection, fibers discolor, lose elasticity and become rigid in 1–2 years.
UV and chlorine resistance is essential for outdoor use with intense sun or near a pool: without it, the grass fades quickly.

Traffic level
Traffic level is categorized in two main categories:
- Moderate traffic: for occasional use on decorative balconies, areas without pets or children.
- Frequent traffic: for family gardens, patios with children, pets or heavy moving furniture that are in daily use.
The appropriate traffic level prevents fiber sinking: frequent for real daily use, moderate only for decoration.
Choose frequent traffic if there is daily use with children or pets… it’s the difference between 2 years of life and 10 years of proven durability.
Drainage system
An artificial lawn with an efficient drainage system allows rainwater to pass through to the ground, preventing surface puddles and slippery surfaces. Look for products with permeability of at least 40 litres/minute/m² to ensure rapid drainage.
Efficient drainage prevents puddling after rain: essential in outdoor spaces where water is frequent.
All Brico Dépôt artificial grass rolls include a permeable base with integrated drainage. This ensures water does not accumulate on the surface, keeping the grass safe and clean.
Warranty
The warranty directly reflects the expected quality of the artificial grass. If it’s 3 years, it corresponds to basic models; 5 years for medium durability and basic-quality materials; and 10 years for those manufactured with premium materials and certified durability.
Investing in grass with a 10-year warranty guarantees that the product is designed to withstand UV, chlorine, tears and frequent traffic for many years.

Frequently asked questions about artificial grass
How long does outdoor artificial grass last?
A quality artificial grass with UV protection lasts between 8 and 15 years outdoors, depending on direct sun exposure, daily traffic level and basic maintenance performed. Models with a 10-year warranty are designed to achieve the maximum lifespan.
Does artificial grass require regular maintenance?
Maintenance is minimal: remove dirt, leaves and dust every 2–3 weeks with a stiff-bristle broom, and lift crushed fibers with a brush or rake occasionally every 2–3 months. It does not require watering, mowing, fertilizing or chemical treatments of any kind.
Can artificial grass be installed on a tiled terrace?
Yes, it is perfect for a terrace over tiles. Look for models of 20–30 mm for frequent traffic, with good anti-slip resistance and an efficient drainage system to prevent puddling between tiles. Roll carpets of 7–10 mm are ideal for terraces with furniture that moves daily.
Does artificial grass fade in direct sunlight?
It only fades if it does not include certified UV protection. Models with UV resistance keep the intense green color for many years without visible fading. Without UV protection, fading appears in 1–2 years under direct sun.
Is it safe for young children and pets?
Yes, especially models of 38–45 mm with a soft touch, tear-resistant fibers and efficient drainage. Ensure the chosen grass has UV resistance and rapid water transmission to avoid slipping when it is wet after rain.
How do you install artificial grass on a terrace or garden?
Installation is simple: prepare the ground by removing existing vegetation and roots, apply double-sided tape if you need to join two rolls, lay the grass straight and fasten with nails into the soil or double-sided tape on a terrace. Comb with a rake or trowel to lift fibers and give a natural look… in 1–2 hours you have your instant green space without effort!
Conclusion: which artificial grass to buy without making a mistake
To choose the right artificial grass without making a mistake, look first at the pile height (20–30 mm for terraces with heavy daily use and heavy furniture, 38–45 mm for family gardens without furniture that sinks). Then check the recommended traffic level (frequent if there are children running, pets playing or intense daily use, moderate only for occasional decoration). Finally, confirm UV and chlorine resistance if you have direct sun for many hours or a nearby pool, and look for a 10-year warranty to ensure long-term durability.
The standout options for quality and durability are: Kolzia 45 mm for the softest feel and the most natural look in family gardens; Camelia 40 mm for premium quality with a 10-year warranty and complete UV and chlorine resistance; Cleria 30 mm as the perfect balance between mid-range price and premium quality for small balconies; and Dennis 20 mm for the most affordable yet robust option on terraces with moderate traffic and a tight budget. Choose according to your space, real use, and budget… and enjoy vibrant green grass all year round without watering, mowing, or effort!
