Living in Dubai, you quickly realise how difficult it is to keep natural grass alive. Between the heat, the dry conditions, and the constant upkeep, it often ends up more hassle than it’s worth. That’s exactly why so many people here—both expats and locals—are making the switch to artificial grass.
At Mazegrass, we work with homeowners, landlords, schools, and developers across Dubai every week. Whether you’ve got a small balcony in JLT or a large family garden in Arabian Ranches, we’ve helped people just like you make the move to artificial grass, and we know exactly what works in this climate.
Why Artificial Grass is perfect for Dubai
Artificial grass fits our lifestyle. You don’t need to water it, mow it, or worry about it dying off in the summer. It’s UV-protected, low maintenance, and looks consistently good. Our customers often tell us they wish they’d switched sooner—less work, lower water bills, and no more dead patches after a hot spell.
What Type of Artificial Grass is Right for You?
We’ve selected a range that covers all types of spaces and uses. Here’s what we usually recommend:
For Gardens
Regal 38mm and Naples 40mm offer that soft, realistic finish people want in a family garden. Great for kids and anyone who likes walking barefoot outside.
For Balconies and Rooftops
Venice 30mm is tidy and lightweight—ideal for apartment living and quick installs. It’s a smart way to improve outdoor space without heavy materials.
For Schools and Nurseries
Sienna 33mm or Naples 40mm with a shock pad underneath gives that extra cushioning. Easy to clean, safe for running and play.
For Commercial Projects
Whether it’s a café terrace or an office entrance, you want something tough but still presentable. Sienna 33mm hits that balance.

Common Questions from Our Customers
Does artificial grass get hot?
It can warm up, especially in direct sunlight, but it cools quickly. Lighter colours help. A quick spray with water also works well on very hot days.
Will it fade in the sun?
No. All our grass is made with UV protection built in. It’s designed to handle Dubai’s climate without fading.
Is it safe for kids and pets?
Absolutely. Our grass is non-toxic, easy to clean, and stays mess-free. We also offer deodorising infill for pets if needed.
Do I need approval from my building or landlord?
Some buildings do require approval, especially for rooftops or shared spaces. We can provide all necessary specs to make this easier.
Is there a warranty?
Yes. All Mazegrass products come with a 10-year UV warranty.
Does artificial grass get dusty in Dubai?
Yes, dust can settle on the surface like it does anywhere in the city, especially after a sandstorm. The good news is it’s easy to rinse off with a hose or brush clean with minimal effort.
How long will artificial grass last in Dubai?
With proper care, quality artificial grass will easily last 10 years or more. Ours comes with a 10-year UV warranty and has been tested in real Dubai conditions.
Is artificial grass allowed on balconies in Dubai?
In most cases, yes. Many residents install it on their balconies to soften the space and improve appearance. If your building has specific guidelines, we can supply product specs to help you get approval.
Can I install artificial grass myself?
Yes, especially for smaller balcony or DIY areas. We’re happy to supply grass only and provide some pointers if you're tackling it yourself. For larger or more technical areas, we recommend using our professional installation team.
What’s the best artificial grass for dogs?
We usually recommend our Sienna 33mm or Regal 38mm for dog owners. They’re durable, easy to clean, and we can add deodorising infill for extra freshness.
Does artificial grass in Dubai smell after a while?
If maintained properly, it won’t smell. For homes with pets, we suggest rinsing the area regularly and using a pet-safe infill to help neutralise odours. We can advise on upkeep during your consultation.
Is artificial grass safe during Dubai summers?
Yes, absolutely. While the surface can get warm under direct sun, it won’t burn feet or paws. Most of our customers find it comfortable enough year-round. If heat is a concern, we suggest lighter colours or installing in partially shaded areas. A quick spray with water cools it down fast.
Can you lay artificial grass on tiles or concrete?
Yes — we do this all the time in Dubai, especially on rooftops, balconies, and terraces. We’ll add a drainage layer if needed and secure everything properly, so the grass stays in place and drains cleanly after rain or cleaning.
What is the cheapest way to lay artificial grass?
The cheapest option is to do a self-installation on a balcony or concrete base using our Venice 30mm product. We can cut to size and deliver it, then you simply roll it out and secure it. For gardens, going DIY can save money, but we always recommend proper ground prep to get the best result.
Can artificial grass be reused if I move?
Yes, if it was originally installed loosely and is still in good condition, it can be lifted and moved. We’ve had clients take it with them when they relocate to a new apartment or villa.
What’s the difference between AstroTurf and artificial grass?
AstroTurf is actually a brand name from the early days of synthetic turf. These days, artificial grass refers to much more advanced products made for residential use, with a natural look and soft feel. The stuff we use at Mazegrass is worlds apart from the old-style sports turf.
Does Dubai have rules about artificial grass?
There’s no city-wide ban or restriction, but some buildings or gated communities have their own guidelines. We’ve worked with many of them, so if you're not sure, we can help you check what’s allowed.
Can you install artificial grass around a pool?
Yes, and it’s one of our most popular requests. Artificial grass makes pool areas safer and more attractive, as it provides grip and stays cleaner than natural turf or pavers. We always install proper drainage and non-slip surfaces for safety.
Does artificial grass drain water?
Yes — all of our products have perforated backings that allow rain and cleaning water to drain straight through. We also prepare the base with drainage in mind, especially for villas, rooftops, and balconies.
