Artificial Grass

The range of artificial grass: models and specifications

Artificial grass is chosen based on pile height (in millimeters), yarn thickness (Dtex), and filament shape. Note: higher pile heights provide a softer feel, but are not necessarily better for heavy use. Here is our 2026 range of pre-cut artificial grass rolls, along with their technical specifications, so you can compare them at a glance:

In addition to these pre-cut rolls, we offer a wide range of cut- to-size artificial grass, from 20 to 50 mm and with various filament types (concave, flat with ribs, monofilament, and W), some with higher Decitex ratings, such as 30 mm or 40W. It's available as cut-to-size artificial grass. For heavy use and pets, a short, dense pile like 25 mm is usually the best choice; if you're unsure, we're happy to advise you.

Permeability indicates how much water the turf drains (the higher the permeability, the better it performs in the rain and around swimming pools): it's around 1,600 liters per hour per square meter (with 80 to 100 drainage holes per square meter). Dtex (decitex) measures the thickness of the yarn, and stitches per square meter indicate the density: higher values ​​for both mean a more durable and realistic turf. Prices per square meter are current offers (VAT included); the final price for each model is listed on its product page. Where it says "see product page," that specific price is not found on the model's public data sheet; the rest are the official figures for each product.

Quick rule of thumb for height: For decoration and indoors, choose a low pile height (18 to 28 mm, Denver or Marsella); for patios and walkways, choose 28 mm or more (Marsella). For gardens, pets, and heavy use, don't go for the highest pile height: a short, dense lawn is easier to clean and withstands wear and tear better. If you're unsure, contact us and we'll help you choose the right pile height.

What grass height to choose according to use

Price, rolls and formats

The price of artificial grass at jardinvertical.es is per square meter, including VAT, and the range starts at around €5.69 per square meter (current offer price). You can buy artificial grass by the meter, cut to your exact size, or in full rolls (2-meter-wide rolls, in formats of 10, 20, 40, or 50 m² depending on the model) for large areas with fewer seams. How many meters are in a roll of artificial grass? It depends on the format: there are full rolls of 20 m² (2 x 10 m), 40 m² (2 x 20 m), and 50 m². The price and current formats for each model are listed on its product page. Financing is available through Aplazame, and you can get expert advice by calling +34 664 07 49 90 to buy artificial grass with the guarantee of a specialist. If you're looking for cheap artificial grass, also check out our artificial grass outlet; and for large areas, rolls are the most economical option.

How to calculate how many m2 of lawn you need

Measure the length and width of the area in meters to obtain the square meters, and add 5 to 10 percent for seams and cuts. For example, an area of ​​4 x 5 m is 20 m²; with the allowance, order approximately 21 or 22 m². If the shape is irregular, divide it into rectangles and add up the measurements for each section. You can find detailed instructions in our guide on how to measure artificial grass. Then, open the desired model and calculate your price based on the square meters you need; if you have any questions, we're happy to help.

Buy artificial grass for use

Not all spaces require the same thing. Choose by destination and enter the category with the models that perform best in each case:

• Artificial grass for gardens: the most demanding use. Look for density and durability: short, dense grass is easier to clean and more resistant than very long grass. Prepare the base well with weed barrier fabric and silica sand.
• Artificial grass for terraces and attics: balance between feel and maintenance (28 to 35 mm, like Marsella), lightweight and easy to clean; on tiles, check that it drains.
• Artificial grass for balconies: low height (18 to 28 mm, like Denver), decorative and easy to cut to size.
• Artificial grass for swimming pools: prioritizes drainage and comfort when walking barefoot, with a base that drains well against water, chlorine and sun.
• Artificial grass for dogs and pets: short, dense and easy to clean, more resistant to continuous use (a short like 25mm grass); drains for cleaning watering.
• Indoor and gym artificial grass: stability and resistance; on smooth ground it is fixed with joining tape and adhesive, without sand.

Each category includes models compatible with that use, along with their price and dimensions. If your area has mixed uses (for example, a garden with a pet area), ask us for advice and we'll help you find the right combination.

Types and colors of artificial grass

Beyond height, you can choose from different artificial grasses by finish and color, all within our catalog:

• Colored artificial grass: in addition to natural green, we have finishes in white, light blue, yellow and dark brown for decoration, events, shop windows and creative projects.
• Yarn shapes include: C-shape (Denver, Marsella, Bogotá), monofilament, and antistatic options (the latter in the cut-to-size range). The yarn shape defines the feel, comfort, and durability.
• Artificial moss and accessories: if your project combines floor and wall, we complement it with artificial moss, vertical garden and panels, all coordinated.

If you're unsure which finish suits your space, tell us about your project and we'll guide you.

How to choose a quality artificial grass

Two artificial lawns of the same height can last and look very different. This is what truly determines quality and what you should pay attention to in each product description. For more information, check out our guide on how to choose quality artificial grass.

The shape of the filament

The yarn can be flat, V-shaped, ribbed, or monofilament. V-shaped and ribbed yarns provide greater rigidity and comfort, allowing the turf to spring back instead of becoming flattened. The memory effect is precisely that: the filament's ability to return to its original position.

Density and height

More stitches per meter and higher density mean a thicker, more realistic, and more durable lawn. The pile height (in mm) determines the feel, not the durability. For heavy use, prioritize high density (many stitches) over high pile height: a short, dense lawn is more resistant and easier to clean. Check the specific density of each model on its product page.

Stitches and Dtex (decitex)

Dtex, or decitex, measures the thickness of the yarn: how much the filament weighs per 10,000 meters. The higher the Dtex, the thicker and more resistant the yarn. Stitches per square meter indicate how many tufts the turf has: more stitches mean a denser and more realistic look. In pre-cut turf, the Dtex is 5,200 and the stitches range from 16,275 to 18,900 per square meter; cut-to-size models may have higher Dtex values. It's advisable to check both figures on the product sheet, because two turfs with the same yarn thickness can have very different densities.

UV resistance and color

A good quality artificial grass is treated to protect it from UV rays and prevent fading in the sun. Models with varying shades (greens with brown undertones, like Marsella) mimic natural grass better than a single, flat green.

Comfort and the memory effect

It's the difference between a lawn that stays pristine after months of use and one that looks flattened in high-traffic areas. The fibers with memory effect maintain their appearance and spring back into place after being stepped on. For pets, a short, dense lawn is also preferable: it's easier to clean and lasts longer.

The silica sand filling

In soil-based installations, silica sand helps to anchor the turf, keep the grass blades upright, and improve drainage. It's not mandatory in all cases, but it's highly recommended for gardens and walkways.

What to put under artificial grass

The base is half the result. It depends on the surface area:

• On the ground: level and compact the surface, lay down weed barrier fabric to prevent weed growth, and, depending on the situation, add a layer of gravel or sand for leveling. Silica sand on top helps to secure the string so it stands upright.
• On concrete, cement, or tile: clean the surface thoroughly, ensure drainage, and secure the artificial grass with adhesive or joining tape at the seams. If the surface is smooth, sand is not necessary.

If you don't lay weed barrier fabric on soil, you risk weeds growing through the seams; and if you don't use sand when needed, the turf may shift or flatten prematurely. You can find step-by-step instructions in our installation guides for soil and concrete.

Installation: You can do it yourself

Installing artificial grass is a manageable DIY project. In short, the base varies depending on the surface:

• On soil (garden): clean, level and compact; place weed barrier fabric; spread and let the turf rest; trim; join the strips with joining tape and adhesive (all fibers in the same direction); fix the perimeter and distribute silica sand (about 5 kg/m2 in models that recommend it).
• On concrete, cement or tile: clean and check that the floor drains; you don't need mesh or, normally, sand; spread, cut, join with joining tape and adhesive and fix the joints.

You'll find complete step-by-step instructions in our guides: installing artificial grass on soil, installing on concrete or cement , and how to fix the grass to the ground. For large areas, the full roll and custom cuts reduce seams. If you'd rather not install it yourself, ask us about installation options.

Maintenance and cleaning of artificial turf

Artificial grass requires minimal maintenance and cleaning, making it a worthwhile investment. Brush it against the grain occasionally to lift the fibers, remove leaves and debris, and give it a light watering to refresh and remove dust. For stains, water and a mild soap are sufficient; avoid harsh chemicals and high-pressure cleaners that could damage the fibers. With this simple routine, your artificial grass will stay pristine for years.

Artificial turf and rain: drainage

High-quality artificial turf is perforated for drainage, so rainwater passes through the surface and filters into the base instead of pooling. The key is that the base also drains well: on well-prepared soil or on a hard surface with a slope or drains, the water runs off easily. That's why it's important to take care of both the turf and the base around pools and wet areas.

How much does it drain? A quality artificial turf drains around 1,600 liters per hour per square meter (with 80 to 100 drainage holes per m2), more than enough for rainwater and maintenance watering. You can find the rainfall and drainage data for each artificial turf model, as well as its exact permeability, on its product page.

Certifications and regulations for artificial turf

We work with fibers that have been tested in the laboratory. Depending on the model, these tests may be documented; please consult each product's data sheet to see which ones apply specifically

Most of the range includes UV treatment to prevent fading. These results are based on product data sheets and vary by model; please refer to each data sheet for available test results for that specific product.

Natural or artificial grass: which is more economical

Natural grass is cheaper to buy, but it costs you money every week in water, mowing, fertilizer, treatments, and time. Artificial grass has a larger initial investment, but from then on, it requires almost zero expenses and zero maintenance for years. In the medium and long term, for areas with actual use, artificial grass usually pays for itself, always providing a perfect green space regardless of the weather or watering. If you're looking for guaranteed greenery year-round without any effort, artificial grass is the answer.

Warranty, financing and customized purchase

Our models come with a manufacturer's warranty (for example, 4 years on our main range models) and are designed to last for many more years with minimal maintenance. You can buy by the square meter, in full rolls, or cut to your specifications. Finance your purchase with Aplazame and get expert advice at +34 664 07 49 90 before making your decision.

Frequently asked questions about artificial turf

What to put under artificial turf

It depends on the surface. On soil: a leveled and compacted base, weed barrier fabric, and, if necessary, a layer of sand for leveling, with silica sand on top for adhesion. On concrete or clean, well-draining tiles, simply fix it with adhesive or joint tape.

What happens if sand is not put under the artificial turf?

Silica sand helps keep the grass fibers upright, anchors the turf, and improves drainage and comfort. If you don't add it when needed (on soil or in high-traffic areas), the grass may shift, wrinkle, or flatten prematurely. It's generally not necessary on hard, smooth surfaces.

How much does 100 meters of artificial grass cost?

It depends on the model. With our prices per square meter, 100 m² would cost, for example, around €569 with the Denver (€5.69/m²) or around €858 with the Bogotá (€8.58/m²), depending on the model you choose. These are current promotional prices; please see each product sheet. If needed, the base and accessories are additional. Open the model you want and calculate your budget for the square meters you require.

How much does a square meter of artificial grass cost?

At jardinvertical.es, prices start at €5.69 per square meter (Denver, 18 mm). The thicker models in the pre-cut range reach up to €8.58 per square meter (Bogotá, 38 mm). These are current promotional prices; the exact and current price for each model is listed on its product page.

Which is cheaper, natural or artificial grass?

Natural grass is the way to go. Overall, artificial grass is usually more cost-effective because it eliminates the ongoing expense of water, mowing, fertilizer, and maintenance. For areas that have been in regular use for several years, artificial grass is the better choice and also ensures a perfect green space year-round.

What are the disadvantages of artificial turf?

The main drawbacks are: the initial investment is higher than buying natural grass, it can get very hot in direct sunlight (it cools down with light watering), and it doesn't offer the freshness or biological benefits of a living lawn. On the other hand, it doesn't need watering, mowing, or fertilizing and stays green year-round. Choosing a model with UV protection and good permeability reduces these disadvantages.

What happens to artificial turf if it rains?

Nothing to worry about: quality artificial grass is perforated and drains, so water passes through the surface and filters away. The important thing is that the base also drains well. That's why we pay so much attention to both the grass and the soil preparation around pools and wet areas.

How long does artificial grass last?

With minimal maintenance, they last for many years. Our models come with a manufacturer's warranty (for example, 4 years on the main range models) and, with simple brushing and cleaning, maintain their appearance for much longer. The filament shape and quality greatly influence durability.

Artificial grass can be cleaned

Yes, and it's very easy. Brush against the grain to lift the fibers, remove leaves and debris, and give it a light watering. For stains, use water with mild soap. Avoid harsh products and high-pressure cleaning.

Which artificial grass is best for pets?

Contrary to popular belief, for pets, a shorter, denser lawn is preferable to the tallest: it's easier to clean, withstands continuous foot traffic better, and drains well for watering. We recommend a short lawn, such as one with a 25mm pile height.

What height of artificial grass should I choose?

For decoration and interiors, choose a low pile height (18 to 28 mm, Denver or Marsella); for patios and walkways, choose 28 mm or more (Marsella). For gardens, heavy use, and areas with pets, don't choose the tallest pile height: a short, dense lawn is easier to clean and more durable. If you have any questions, contact us and we'll help you choose the right model and cut.

You can install artificial grass yourself

Yes. It's a manageable DIY project: prepare the base, lay down weed barrier fabric, spread it out and let it set, trim it, join the strips with joining tape and adhesive in the same direction, secure the perimeter, and, if necessary, add silica sand and brush it. For large areas, full rolls and custom cuts make the job easier.

What is the memory effect of artificial turf?

It's the filament's ability to return to its upright position after being stepped on, instead of being flattened. V-shaped threads, those with a central rib, or monofilament threads have better memory, which is why they look pristine for longer in high-traffic areas.

I can buy artificial grass cut to size

Yes. We sell by the square meter, in full rolls for large surfaces, and cut to the exact size you need, so you don't pay for extra meters. Choose the square meters on the model's page and get an instant quote; if you have any questions, we're happy to help.

Do you have samples of artificial turf?

Yes, and they're free. For now, we send samples of the artificial grass we sell by the cut (we'll add pre-cut models later). Request one and check the feel, color, and density before covering your entire surface—at no cost and with no obligation to buy. If you're unsure between two options, we'll help you choose.

Artificial grass heats up in the sun

Yes, it can get hot in direct sunlight, but a light watering, like rain, cools it down instantly. A good UV treatment and the right colors help it behave more naturally in the heat. You can find more details in our guide on artificial grass and heat.

Can a swimming pool be placed on artificial grass?

Yes, with care. For above-ground or inflatable pools, a durable lawn and a firm base that distributes the weight and drains well are recommended, preventing creases and trapped moisture. We have a specific guide on installing a pool on artificial grass and on artificial grass for pools; if you have any questions, please consult us about your specific situation.

Artificial grass is environmentally friendly

Although it is a synthetic material, since it does not need watering, mowing, fertilizing or treatments, it saves a lot of water and chemicals throughout its useful life compared to natural grass, and lasts for years with minimal maintenance.

How often should artificial turf be replaced?

With minimal maintenance, a quality lawn lasts for many years (our models come with a manufacturer's warranty, for example, 4 years on the main range models) and often lasts much longer. The actual lifespan depends on usage, the quality of the fibers, and proper installation.

Artificial grass can be vacuumed

For regular cleaning, it's best to brush against the grain, remove leaves, and give it a light watering. Vacuuming on high power is not recommended as it can pull out the silica sand and the filament; if you use a vacuum, do so gently and on a dry surface.
