Deciding to install artificial grass isn’t a quick decision. In Dubai, where quality matters and costs can vary widely, it’s worth doing your research before you commit. We’ve worked with hundreds of homeowners, landlords, schools, and developers across the city — and we know the common questions, concerns, and frustrations people face when weighing up the options.
This guide has been written by our team here at Mazegrass to give you clear, no-nonsense advice based on years of experience working in gardens just like yours. We’ll walk you through what to expect, how to choose the right product, what to avoid, and how to get the best result — first time.
What Are the Real Benefits of Artificial Grass in Dubai?
We often hear the same things from people before they install artificial grass. Their natural grass won’t grow properly. Water bills are high. There’s too much dust and mud. They’re fed up spending time or money maintaining a lawn that never quite looks right.
Sound familiar? If you’ve tried to grow natural grass in Dubai, you’ll know how tough it is.
Between the heat, sandy soil, and the need for constant irrigation, even skilled gardeners struggle. Add in a bit of shade from trees or walls and parts of the garden simply give up. That’s where artificial grass makes sense.
Artificial grass gives you a clean, green space year-round with none of the ongoing hassle. No mowing, no watering, no mud. Kids can run around without dragging sand back into the house. Pets stay cleaner. And the garden always looks neat — whether it’s August or January.
Does It Actually Save Money?
Water bills in large villas with irrigation systems can get expensive, especially during the summer. Switching to artificial grass means you can turn the irrigation off completely. That saves water, reduces the load on your pump, and eliminates the risk of leaks from buried sprinkler pipes.
It’s also a long-term saving. Once the grass is in, there’s no need for monthly gardener visits, no fertiliser, no pest control, and no patchy regrowth.
The Basics You Need to Know About Artificial Grass
Here are a few practical things to understand before you choose your product:
Roll Widths: We supply 4m wide rolls to minimise joins. This helps the final lawn look smoother and more seamless.
Seams: When two rolls are joined, we use specialist adhesives and tape. You may just about see the seam if you know where to look, but a good install makes it barely noticeable.
Yarn Shape: Grass fibres come in different shapes — C-shape, S-shape, W-shape, etc. These affect how the grass feels and how it stands up over time. We’ll show you samples so you can feel the difference yourself.
Density & Stitch Rate: The more stitches per square metre, the denser and softer the grass. Dense products hold their shape better and look more natural.
Backing: Once the yarn is stitched into backing fabric, a latex layer is applied and cured in a large oven. This locks everything in place and gives the grass its strength.
We’re happy to explain this in person or show you real samples in our Dubai Showroom in Al Quoz.
The Mazegrass Installation Process
Our team handles the full process in-house — from consultation to delivery and installation. Here’s how it works:
We clear the existing surface and remove debris.
A base layer is added and compacted for drainage.
Fine sand is levelled to smooth out the surface.
The grass is laid and joined precisely.
The entire lawn is brushed and finished for a clean look.
Most residential installs take 1 to 3 days, depending on the size. We work neatly and clean up properly after every job.
What to Watch Out For When Choosing a Supplier
We always recommend working with a company that supplies and installs their own products. That way, you know exactly who to speak to if anything ever needs adjusting. It also means the grass is designed to work with the local conditions and install method.
Some people look at cheaper options online or from Dragon Mart. It might seem like a good deal, but in many cases you won’t get proper support, warranties, or any clarity on what the product is actually made from. We’ve been called out more times than we can count to fix DIY jobs or replace low-quality grass.
Always check:
Is the grass UV-tested and lead-free?
Are you getting a proper warranty?
Will the same team install the grass?
Can you visit a showroom and feel the product before you decide?
Common Concerns — Let’s Clear Them Up
Does it get hot? Yes — like anything else in Dubai. It can warm up in the sun, but cools quickly when shaded or rinsed. Lighter-coloured yarn helps too. In practice, most of our customers find it far more comfortable than paving or tiles.
Will it flatten over time? Heavy use will flatten any grass eventually. The fibres aren’t indestructible, but brushing regularly helps. We also choose durable products that bounce back better, even with kids running around daily.
What’s in the grass — is it safe? Ours is certified lead-free, heavy metal-free, and UV stabilised. We’re happy to provide documentation. If you’ve got pets or children, this is especially important.
