When choosing a company for major, long-term home improvements, it’s a good idea to check the ABN register. A business that has been registered and operating for many years shows stability, reliability, and proven standards in both product quality and installation.
Be aware that an ABN registered under an individual’s name might simply relate to any kind of previous work — it doesn’t necessarily reflect business experience or history.
Also, if a business is not registered for GST, it could be a red flag: GST registration is mandatory for businesses with total annual sales (not profit) over $75,000.
Choosing a long-established, properly registered company gives you confidence that you’re dealing with professionals who have stood the test of time.
Artificial lawn can be a great long-term solution for pet owners when installed with the right approach. We recommend using an Australian-made Pet Lawn, designed with extra drainage holes for easier cleaning and better odour control. As part of our service, we also install a natural mineral pet odour control infill instead of standard silica sand. This not only helps manage smells but also keeps the lawn cooler in hot weather.
To make maintenance easy from the start, we supply a maintenance kit including a hose sprayer, synthetic turf cleaner, and a sturdy broom. Regularly flushing the lawn with water and applying a turf deodoriser keeps the fibres clean and fresh. For added durability, we install extra turf pegs around joins and corners to help deter digging. Where possible, we also recommend keeping some of your existing sprinklers in place to allow for automatic flushing.
With the right installation and simple occasional maintenance, your artificial lawn can stay clean, odour-free, and looking great — providing a comfortable space for both you and your pets for years to come.
We prioritise quality over quantity. By limiting our schedule to just 2–3 jobs per week, I can personally quote and install each project myself. This hands-on approach ensures consistent workmanship and attention to detail.
We take pride in using Australian-made artificial lawn and above-average quantities of premium materials. This delivers superior durability, a flawless finish, and the confidence that your lawn has been installed with care—not rushed to meet a quota.
We deliberately stay small so every client gets VIP treatment. For most of the year, we can complete your job within a month from booking—so you’ll know exactly when to expect your new lawn.
A list of possible causes of unfavourable outcomes include: Weeds, Ant activity, Pet damage, Pet odour, Soakwells, Flattening, Reflective surfaces and Bore water staining.

No, not all synthetic lawns are the same. There are various types of synthetic turf available, each with its own unique characteristics, price points, and quality levels. Some lawns are thicker and more luxurious, while others are designed to be more budget-friendly and have less yarn weight (grass fibre) per m2.
Australian-made synthetic lawns are known for their superior quality, often offering a more natural appearance, greater durability, and longer warranties compared to other options. These lawns are designed to withstand our local climate, ensuring they look great and last for many years with minimal maintenance.
At Simply Synthetic Turf, we offer a wide range of synthetic turf options to suit different needs and budgets. We focus on providing high-quality, Australian-made products that deliver excellent value, long-lasting results, and peace of mind with longer warranties.
On an average sized job of 50m2 on a brand new house you would typically pay around $1500 more upfront for artificial grass. This higher initial cost would be typically paid back within 3-4 years through reduced water bills and lawn mowing costs.
The synthetic grass fibres have a UV coating that protects the turf from the effects of the sun and the heat.
This depends on the lawn choice and usage of the lawn. There are some things to be aware of in terms of routine maintenance needs and also some standard warranty exclusions do apply.
Installing the artificial lawn in the right way as part of a low maintence garden makeover and by following the "little and often" approach to maintenance will help ensure the long life of the artificial lawn.
In high traffic areas or narrow regular walkways (for example a pathway to a shed) flattening of the grass may occur. Similar to when you buy an expensive plush carpet for your home, with a longer pile height, tread marks are more visible. You can expect the same from a longer plush artificial lawn.
More regular brushing may be required, or you may choose to have steppers in high traffic areas.
Shorter artificial lawns will show less imprints from regular traffic. However, many prefer the more natural look and ‘imperfection’ of a longer pile height lawn.
Flattened areas of lawn may look different in colour and finish as flattened fibres show colour and reflect sunlight differently to upright fibres.
With all artificial lawn maintenance is required. Firstly blow any leaves or debris off the lawn, walk around the perimeter of the lawn and spray any small weeds along the edges with weed-spray and finally give the lawn a brush over with a stiff broom into the grain of the lawn. This would typically be towards the house in the front yard and towards the back fence in the backyard.

The turf has many drain holes all over the backing, water will seep through the turf and drain through the blue metal dust base. Whilst the base goes hard, water is still able to penetrate through. We also put a slight slope on the base towards garden beds to assist with drainage.
No, we remove the existing lawn with whatever is cheapest out of; a bobcat, dingo or by hand. The grass and soil is removed 100mm down to allow room for the 75mm layer of crushed rock and the artificial lawn on top.
Prices for supply and installation of Synthetic Turf in Perth can vary from around $50-$120 per m2. The price difference is affected by the cost of the type of lawn installed, installation materials used and the overheads of the business. The larger firms will often have to factor in sales commissions and big advertising budgets which can increase the price with little extra value.
At the other end of the scale, the “one man bands” who undercut reputable companies come with the risk of not being around if problems start to occur. At Simply Synthetic Turf we strike the balance of being invested in the future and keeping overheads low to provide the best long term value.
We recommend you check to make sure a business is registered on the Australian Government Business Register and choose a business that has been operating for at least around 10 years. This is because it will ensure you are choosing a business that has passed the initial test of staying in business and that their products and installation standards have been tested by time.

Finding out this information through the government business register above, is a good first step to take before contacting a business to quote for any high value improvements to your home and garden.
Take note of the ‘From’ date of the business name not the ABN dates, as if it’s an individual not a company they may have an ABN from past business ventures or employment.
Before installing artificial lawn on a council verge (the area between the road and your property boundary, usually up to the letterbox), we recommend checking with your local council for their specific policies and guidelines.
Every council area in Perth has different requirements for verge treatments. Some councils allow artificial lawn, some allow only a percentage, and others may not allow it at all.
How can I find out my council's rules?
We suggest searching your local council’s name along with the words “verge treatment policy” online. This should lead you to the relevant regulations for your area.
What if my neighbours already have artificial lawn on their verge?
Although you may see artificial lawn already installed in your neighbourhood, it’s important to note that it may have been installed before the rules changed, or the homeowners may be taking the risk (and liability) themselves. Always check the current regulations to make sure you're covered.
It's important to confirm the rules before installation to avoid fines or being required to remove the lawn later.
My general rule of thumb: If you plan to stay in your house for at least five years, you don’t have a bore, you pay a lawn mower man or you regularly maintain your own lawn (and place a value on your own time doing so), then investing in artificial lawn is generally a no brainer. It can also make sense if your planning to sell your house before then too.

No. Unlike the old astro-turf, our artificial / synthetic grass has a lawn height of 30-40mm, multi-tone grass fibres and light brown curly fibres that all come together to give the look and feel of real grass.
Yes, we have a few lawns that blend in very well with Perth's sun scorched lawns. Our most natural looking artificial lawns are most popular in front lawn areas where they are laid adjacent to neighbours real lawns.
In backyards you have the discretion to choose a more green fertilised lawn look, but at the front most usually prefer their lawn to blend in to the streetscape.
There’s so many reasons why its best to meet up and have a chat at your home for a quote including:
- We can show you the different lawn samples, talk through the differences and help you choose the lawn that is right for you. It’s so much better to see the lawn in real life and against the surroundings of your garden.
- We can measure up the area properly, as often the measurements we need to take are more detailed than general house plan measurements.
- We can check on the ground levels, whether edging is recommended and see what access there is for materials to be brought in and potentially existing lawn to be removed.
- We can have a chat about what you are using the area for and who will be using the area, which then can guide decisions around the type of lawn, the lawn infill and whether there’s any areas where we recommend steppers cut into the lawn.
-We can check the surroundings of the artificial lawn area and ask whether you’d like any other works quoted like tidying up garden beds to avoid sand and weeds blowing onto the artificial lawn.
- We can get a general feel for the job and your requirements.
