Why Perth Schools Are Switching to Artificial Grass

Artificial Grass for Schools and Daycares: A Safer Outdoor Play Option

Keeping a lawn alive in Perth is hard. Add a dog or two, and it gets even harder. They dig, run, and roll — and suddenly your backyard is full of holes, dirt patches, and mud.

That’s why more Perth families are choosing artificial grass made for pets. It is strong, easy to keep clean, and works well with our hot, dry weather — and best of all, pets love it.

If you are sick of fixing the lawn every weekend, this might be just what you need.

Safety First & No More Mud or Dust

Modern synthetic turf is designed to be soft underfoot, reducing the risk of scrapes and bruises. When paired with shock-absorbing underlays, it can even meet fall safety standards for play equipment.

Kids love playing outside—but rain often turns grassy areas into mud pits. With artificial grass, schools no longer have to deal with muddy shoes or damaged turf. Even after rain, surfaces dry quickly and stay clean.

Low Maintenance for School Grounds Teams

Unlike natural turf, synthetic grass requires no mowing, watering, or fertilising. That means fewer maintenance hours and lower long-term costs, freeing up school budgets for other priorities.

All-Weather Play : 

Synthetic grass allows for year-round use, rain or shine. There’s no downtime waiting for the grass to regrow or dry out. This means more outdoor activity time and less classroom chaos.

Durable and Hard-Wearing

School play areas take a lot of foot traffic. High-quality artificial turf is built to withstand daily use by active kids—without wearing down or turning patchy.

Great for Sports and PE

Artificial grass creates a consistent playing surface for a range of activities—running, ball games, fitness circuits, and more. It’s ideal for schools without the space or budget for a full sports field.

Hygienic and Easy to Clean

Turf surfaces can be easily cleaned with water and disinfectant, helping reduce the spread of germs. This is especially useful in early learning centres and daycares.

Green All Year Long

Artificial grass maintains a vibrant, natural look regardless of the season. It creates a welcoming space that boosts school pride and provides a better first impression for parents.
