When you're working in artificial grass in Dubai for so long, one of the most common questions we hear is: how long is it going to last? It’s a fair question too — with the kind of heat we deal with here, plus the sand, foot traffic, and the occasional splash from the pool, you want to be sure your investment is going to hold up.
At Mazegrass, we’ve been installing and supplying artificial grass across Dubai for years. Whether it's for family gardens, rooftops, schools, or pet runs — we know exactly what lasts, what doesn’t, and what to look out for. Here’s what you need to know.
So How Long Does Artificial Grass Last in Dubai? The Short Answer: 10+ Years (With the Right Grass)
All Mazegrass products come with a 10-year UV warranty — and most lawns last well beyond that. We’ve seen our installations still looking great more than a decade on, even in full sun. The key is using the right type of grass for your needs, and making sure it’s installed properly.
Unlike natural grass, which dries out, fades, or wears away with heavy use, artificial grass is designed to stay looking lush with very little upkeep.
What Affects the Lifespan of Artificial Grass in Dubai?
A few things play a role in how long your artificial lawn lasts:
1. The Quality of the Grass Itself
Not all grass is made equal. Mazegrass products are built with a strong latex backing, UV-stabilised fibres, and dense stitching. This gives the grass its structure and stops it from going flat, patchy, or brittle.
Our full range — from the budget-friendly Venice 30mm to the premium Naples 40mm — is made to survive the UAE climate. Every product is soft underfoot, but strong enough for high traffic, kids, pets, and play.
2. Sun Exposure
The Dubai sun is no joke. That’s why UV protection is so important. All Mazegrass products (except our budget range) are UV-stabilised and guaranteed not to fade for at least 10 years. The colours stay vibrant, even in full sun, all year round.
3. Foot Traffic
If your garden sees a lot of footfall — kids playing, dogs running about, garden furniture being dragged around — choosing a denser, more resilient pile makes all the difference. Options like our Sienna 33mm or Regal 38mm are built for everyday life.
4. Installation Method
Proper preparation is vital. We’ve had customers come to us after trying a DIY install or using the wrong sub-base — and the results don’t last. When you go with a full Mazegrass installation, our team handles everything: removing old lawn, preparing the ground, fitting the right base layers, and laying the grass so it stays in place, drains well, and lasts.
How to Make It Last Even Longer
Once your grass is down, looking after it is easy — but a bit of care goes a long way. Here’s what we usually recommend:
Give it a brush every now and then to lift the pile and remove debris.
Rinse off any dust or pet mess with water (jet washing is fine).
Keep the area shaded if possible — not because the grass will fade, but to keep it cooler underfoot.
Avoid dragging heavy furniture across it, especially sharp-edged items.
What About Pets and Kids?
Mazegrass was designed with families and pets in mind. It’s soft, safe, and hygienic — and it holds up brilliantly under constant use. We've installed grass in schools, kennels, and homes all over the UAE, and it's proven to last even with daily rough-and-tumble.
If anything does need replacing after years of use (a patch under a trampoline, for example), it’s usually simple and inexpensive.
Our Guarantee to You
All of our artificial grass products come with a 10-year UV guarantee — and that’s not just a box-ticking exercise. It’s based on what we’ve seen in the field, here in Dubai. Our grasses are made to cope with high heat, constant sun, and day-to-day wear — and they do.
We don’t offer products we wouldn’t use in our own homes, and we’re always happy to advise on which option suits your space, budget, and lifestyle best.
