Anyone that can share their experience over artificial grass?
I'm worried that water might cause wear n tear and the burning heat in our country too.

I surveyed their price wasn't cheap, around 10 persqft. For that, I could install floor tiles over my side land of 5ft width.

you are right, better to just put tiles.
anything under our Sun will melt eventually

Yup rm10 cheapest. My main concern is the smell when water trap under it

We're living in a concrete jungle. If we want less maintenance, artificial grass gives can give you a sense of lush surroundings, albeit a false sense.

I have it done on my 20th floor balcony and my study room. The feel may not be 100% like grass, but good enough and it helps to give it a soft look/feel. Beautiful I must say ..

No concern with smell at the balcony as someone was worried about. It doesn't have a flat bottom. Mine has small rubber studs at the bottom in close gaps so that water will flow down and towards the floor trap. Of course there will be moisture and such but the sun will dry it out enough ...

McFD2R, how long have u installed them? Noticed any wear n tear yet? and how much was the cost?

Some say it's a DIY job...just buy some glue for the base to stick well to the concrete ground. How was yours done?

I was just cautioned that creepy crawlies love to hide underneath due to the moisture after rain or morning dampness.

The artificial grass is actually quite hardy. The shop next to mine has it installed on the kerb for the past year and there is no fading or wear and tear. Looks lush and green all year round and no water logging. They added some pebbles and stone paving as well.

I bought mine at Sg Buloh there. Lot 34 /36, cant remember exactly which lot & price.

Been using for 6months, so far so good.

nice topic ... im planning on doing it for my condo balcony as well due to the building is nearly 15 years n contractors used some cheap ass tiles that stain n dirty faster then i can clean them .. so i plan buy some artificial grass cover it plus it gives a fresh look towards the house as my balcony view is awesome haha
where to get RM10 psf ?? i was quited quite exp

Mine was done for RM17-18 I think ... After searching, this was to me, the closest to a grass lookalike ..

Came here to ask about Inspire Grass and found your post. Are you using this on your balcony? I plan to do the same on mine. Any complains so far? I plan to go there this weekend. Any tips before I do?

Thanks!

So far, it has been problem free. Personally, I'd suggest doing a yearly clean up to prevent dust built up underneath, which may then prevent water from flowing to the floor trap efficiently. Just roll it up, wash down with a pail of water, mop and wait till dry before unrolling it again. That's what I plan to do.

It's a nice feel when on a cool day, sitting in the balcony with your feet stepping on grass even though artificial. I like Inspire because the grass has a very inconsistent look in terms of color, which gives it a more natural look.

Been using it on outdoor yard which exposed to direct sunlight for two years now.
So far still looking good!

That's a good tip. Thanks! BTW, this is totally DIY-able right? Just come with our measurements I suppose?

Yes, you can DIY yourself. If I'm not mistaken, maximum width is 6 feet, if wider, they will have a sticky tape to join the other piece.

sticky tape to join? I think your type is different than mine...

My Balcony is 16ft x 3 ft. So if calculate 20 per sqft, it will cost RM1k? but now they have tiles on it, Just put is above the tiles like a carpet? it wont move around?

can share some photos of the artificial grass u guys installed?

is it ok to pun directly on sand?

Ecograss sold at fair. Rm350 for 1 x 4 meters. 20mm pile thickness

Is the artificial grass come with warranty?

Precuts like this no warranty. Non precut comes with 6 or 10 yrs warranty. But its really cheap

Why after precut no more warranty?

Hi, I am planning to put artificial grass at my garden. Should be around 5ft x 70ft. A few questions to ask:

1. should I put the grass direct on the soil or put on cement floor?
2. If put on cement floor, will the water trap and cause flood especially after rain.
3. If put on soil, will the soil become soggy and cause the floor become uneven?

Thank you!

Hi, I am planning to put artificial grass for my garden (outdoor). Width 5ft x length 70ft. Any good artificial grass contact to recommend? Currently, I have one quoted me around RM5k plus plus. I think quite expensive. May I know how much is psf price for Artificial grass now? Thanks!

Hi, you ask the supplier to install the grass for you as well? how much they charge? How's the quality?

they will do everything for me..... so far helped chopped tress... cleared and flatten the garden.... later gonna place the grass and pebbles...... I dunno the exact cost.... I was told the quality is top notch.... manufactured by the supplier of 2008 Olympic games grass..... I think the boss told me something like 8 years warranty.... dun remember....

That is really a good price.
Some more do so many thing.

I also going for it... Now doing some research...

Any place to find this grass near puchong?

The nearest is bukit jalil. There is a nursing beside the traffic light from KL side. After 2petrol station.

Any landmark mate?

After the shop lot that still built. Not difficult to find. It just beside the main road.

When you want to put artificial grass on the soil; you try to put small white rock layer on the soil.
1 inch from the soil dirt.

the uneven you need to remove the uneven dirt...the small white rock will auto flat become .

Thanks Felix for the tips. I got a quotation for RM9psf including installation. Quality not bad. Still have not decided yet. Will find few more quote and check few more shop for quality comparison. Thanks

Hi mind to share how much psf you manage to get from this Bukit Jalil Artificial Grass supplier? Currently I am also surveying around for artificial grass. Managed to get RM9psf including installation.

Havent been there yet. But i got rm8 price from seller in ampang. Too far away for me. By the way your supplier which area?

Hi my supplier from Sri Damansara. RM8psf including installation? Thanks

No installation

rm9/psf consider very good price.
what type of artificial grass they're using for?
I got a quotation for rm15/psf including installation at soil base & cement base area, using 25mm / 15 stitches of AG.

Including installation does it cover the removal of old grass/rocks/lalang?

i got this pricing..
40mm Le Grassi @ RM17per sq ft
36mm Le Meadow @ RM15 per sq ft
25mm Le Chime @ RM10 per sq ft
12mm Le Clubio @ RM10 per sq ft

Hi, I not sure about the spec. Let me ask the supplier and revert to you.

Yes, cover all this.

That's from Inspire grass. I also got ask them. But, seems like quite expensive. Maybe quality is superb.

correct

i didnt do it.. i just asked for fun lol

Me too... Hahahaha

maybe need to wait for another year .. hopefully price will reduce .. just like other things before..

Can artificial grass be glued onto a matt surface tile? The bottom of the grass has like tiny dots made of rubber to increase friction.

I think the price will only get more expensive.... due to Malaysia Ringgit devalue...

just curious... if we put the artificial grass on soil... can weeds grow under this artificial grass? i'm thinking unlikely due to no sunlight, etc... but just wanna be sure.

no sunlight..and hight humidty, not a agood condition to grow any grass. Except the artifical grass low quality and tear off allow sunlight then is different story- weed can grow.


You go puchong IOI Galeria - they also put artifical grass on soil.

hmmm... thanks. i will go check them out...

You treat the soil before lay the artificial grass, weeds wouldn't growth.

Sg Buloh cheapest i found was RM6 psf but quality soso ...a good one i reckon is at RM8 - RM10 psf ..
but then im only using for condo balcony so its only 60sf

It still grow for mine. But very minimal.

Didnt put sand on top of soil first?

I cant remember but da fellow just help me to dig out some old soil, pull out the weed and lay the artificial grass.

Anywat, mine is just a very small portion of artifical grass. To those who plan to do it in a big portion, make sure do it properly b4 "visitors" coming out fr ur artifical grass.

Hi all,
Few years back, I help few of my friend performing group buy at http://www.artificialgrass-direct.com/
If you go to the link, the price is already much cheaper than Malaysia, if you doing groupbuy, there is more discount.
**it is sqm in the page, not sqft

This type of item, production cost is around RM0.50 to RM3 per sqft.
This wholeseller selling it out at double to retailer.

If you go to retailer in UK, if an item is selling about RM5 per sqft to end user. (they already earn)
If Malaysia, same item, might be RM10-20.

What I am trying to highlight here is the profit here is much much higher than anywhere else.

If you can DIY, just DIY, cheaper ma. Organize group buy.
If anyone want to groupbuy, let me know, come to July/August, i am planning to buy again.

hei if its july/august period im in
as i need roughly 2m width x3m length size
type of grass i dont mind .. so if all get the same type that would b worth it right
as it comes in 2m width n max of 25m length .. so we can share among us

do let me know the details

Why you don't come in here early? You help save ppl a lot of money.

I very much like to put the artificial grass as my wife nagging me not to plant the real grass. (I m lazy to takecare)

But I still prefer the real grass.

Ya agree, real one sure better.
But to make them shine, is really a tough job.

I found out it not really difficult to takecare. If I not that lazy. He....

My father said using artificial grass will invite "lipan" crawl below it. really?

To grow them, not that difficult.
But to make them grow well, that is the real challenge.

Lagi easy. Fertilizer is the main ingredient. But I don't put it mostly. Cause lazy to trim the grass.

The problem that most people facing is uneven sunlight.

Those without sunlight place, use stone and rock to decorate the place.

Totally no sunlight then yes. But some areas with sunlight, but not enough. Takan you want to patch here and there with stone, right?

Why you got so many area some no sunlight some have?

For my area and experience. The inner area getting less sunlight in half yrs. Very small portion and triangle shade. So the grass grow lesser and become tall type. I clear it out and decorate with some stone and tree bark to prevent the weed grow.

Not only me, many facing the same problem.
My case i also can not figure out why some areas are less sunlight.

LOL, never realize got this topic previously.

Anyway, do not really have to worry on the insect.

1) Cut off all existing grass that don't want.
2) Do some pest control around the area.
3) There is product that can prevent pest from coming in to your area. can get from Mr. DIY.
4) Then install your articial grass.

5) Safer somemore, you can place garlic / garlic plant around your house, those will make pest runaway.

May I know which fair is this ?

Have you manage to install yet ?

I recently purchased a roll to the brand is aces turf or something and mine's a 30mm pile
