Our Blackburn 8mm grass makes it easy to revamp your outdoor space. This budget artificial grass ticks plenty of boxes - it's affordable, easy to install, and durable, making it perfect for a quick garden makeover. This turf is ideal for events or when you need a splash of colour.
Pet- and child-friendly
Blackburn 8mm is an affordable way to make your outdoor space child and pet-friendly. The short, sturdy pile protects knees and paws from scrapes and scratches and stands up to everyday wear and tear. There are no drainage holes, but the free-draining backing keeps mess to a minimum. All our artificial grass is pet-friendly, but remember, you can upgrade to pet-specific grass for features like odour-free backing. Our artificial turf has plenty of key benefits for your pets. Why not add a stunning trellis fence to create a shady area to prevent overheating? With Artificial Grass Direct, you can create a haven for all the family.
Quality and durability on a budget
This versatile artificial turf has a 3/16" tuft gauge, so it can withstand moderate to heavy foot traffic. Due to UV stabilisation, the vibrant colour won't fade, so your Blackburn 8mm grass adds colour to the gloomiest courtyard. If you prefer a longer pile for even greater durability, try Buckshaw 30mm.
Easy to install
This versatile, lightweight grass can be installed over just about any surface - ideal for a quick update for any outdoor space. Blackburn 8mm is also great for commercial use, making it a top choice when sprucing up an exhibition area or alfresco dining area. Why not browse our artificial grass accessories?

Installation
Before you start prepping for your new lawn, check out our artificial grass installation guide. It includes tips and tricks for a seamless result and recommended installation accessories to simplify the job. It's worth bearing a few things in mind when you're laying your lawn for a flawless finish:
2m and 4m rolls can be used together and will match perfectly.
You won't need a sand infill, but a weed membrane is required to keep unwanted plants at bay. You can also use an underlay for extra comfort.
Pay extra attention when joining edges to ensure the pile runs in the same direction. This will give you a professional finish, and your grass will look great from all viewing angles.
Maintenance
Your new no-mow lawn needs minimal maintenance to keep it looking good year-round. All it takes is a weekly brush to remove dirt and debris and a rake to fluff up the pile. Use a stiff-bristled brush and rinse away stubborn mess with a garden hose. Follow these do's and don'ts for long-lasting results: DO:
Clear away pet mess immediately.

DON'T:
