More Info on Artificial Grass Thickness
Choosing the right artificial grass thickness goes beyond picking the tallest pile you can find. Thickness refers to the height of the grass fibres from the backing to the tips, and it has a real impact on the look, feel and performance of your lawn. The best thickness for artificial grass depends on how you plan to use the space.

Choosing the right artificial grass thickness goes beyond picking the tallest pile you can find. Thickness refers to the height of the grass fibres from the backing to the tips, and it has a real impact on the look, feel and performance of your lawn. The best thickness for artificial grass depends on how you plan to use the space.
We offer 20mm Thick Artificial Grass, 30mm Thick Artificial Grass, and 40mm+ Thick Artificial Grass. Shorter grass (our 20mm range) feels firmer, recovers well from foot traffic, and suits patios, balconies and high-use lawns. Mid-range piles (30mm range) give a more natural lawn feel with a good balance of softness and durability, while deeper piles can deliver that lush, premium aesthetic for show gardens or landscaped features. That said, the thickness of artificial grass should always be matched with good density and backing quality. For example, a well-made 30mm turf will often outperform a poorly constructed 40mm one. Think of thickness as one part of a bigger picture that includes density, fibre type and how the lawn will be used.
FAQs - Artificial Grass Thickness
Artificial grass thickness refers to the pile height, the measurement from the backing to the top of the fibres. This matters because it affects its appearance, comfort and how the grass performs underfoot. Shorter piles (e.g. 20mm) feel firmer and are easier to maintain, while taller piles give a softer, more lawn-like feel. But thickness alone isn’t everything; density and fibre quality are equally important for long-term performance.
For most family gardens, something around 30-35mm hits the sweet spot. It feels soft underfoot for children playing, looks natural without being too plush, and stands up well to regular use. Pair this with a good density and proper installation, and you’ll have a lawn that keeps its shape and appearance season after season.
Not necessarily. Thicker grass can look luxurious, but if it’s not supported by good density and quality backing, it can flatten quickly and require more brushing. A well-made mid-pile grass with high stitch and dense fibres usually performs better than very tall, loosely packed turf.
Shorter grass tends to trap less debris and is easier to keep looking tidy. Taller grass can benefit from an occasional brush to keep fibres upright, especially in high-traffic zones. Regular sweeping with a stiff-bristle rake is almost all most lawns need to stay fresh.
For pets, we often recommend something around 25-35mm. It’s comfortable for their paws, much easier to clean than very tall fibres, and holds up well to play. Combine this with proper drainage, and you’ll have a practical, pet-friendly lawn. You can read our guide helping you pick the right grass for a home with pets.
Thickness doesn’t directly control drainage; that’s down to the backing and perforations. But longer fibres can hold water on the surface if not installed with the right sub-base. Good installation and a well-prepared base are more important for drainage than pile height alone.
Think of thickness and density as partners. Density (how many fibres are packed into the turf) is often more important for longevity and performance. As an example, a dense 30mm grass will generally wear better than a sparse 40mm grass.
In shadier spots, mid-range piles (30-35mm) often look best because they capture light without looking too dark or overgrown. Very short grass can appear flat, and very tall grass can look heavy in low light.
