Artificial grass in Strand, supplied and laid
Strand is coastal, so salt and sand are the two things a lawn has to live with. Salt does not damage the yarn, and sand blown into the pile is what actually flattens it. A Strand lawn needs brushing more often than an inland one. Complexes here often want one specification across every unit, which we quote as a single job.

The site visit confirms the ground before a price is given. Ground is the one variable that changes the base depth, and base depth is the one that changes the cost.
What it costs in Strand
| Pile | Installed | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| 25mm | R159/m² | Pets, traffic lines, play areas |
| 30mm | R199/m² | The usual choice for a family lawn |
| 40mm | R249/m² | Low-traffic show lawns |
A 50 square metre garden at 30mm runs about R9 950 installed. A 100 square metre garden runs about R19 900.
Ask for astro turf in Strand and we quote the 25mm, because astro turf almost always means the short sports-style pile rather than a long garden one.
Questions from Strand
Does sea air damage artificial grass?
No. The yarn is UV stabilised and salt does not degrade it. Blown sand settles into the pile and flattens it, so a coastal lawn is brushed more often than an inland one.
Can a complex do every unit at once?
Yes, and it costs less per square metre. One delivery, one crew and one specification across the units removes most of the per-job overhead.
