Artificial grass in Stellenbosch, supplied and laid
Stellenbosch splits into two jobs. Heritage properties in the old town have deep shade and restricted access, where turf solves a lawn that will not grow under oaks. Student rentals want the cheapest durable surface on a small yard. The specification differs: 30mm on the heritage gardens, 25mm on the rentals.

Ask for astro turf in Stellenbosch and we quote the 25mm, because astro turf almost always means the short sports-style pile rather than a long garden one.
Questions from Stellenbosch
Will artificial grass work in deep shade?
Yes, and shade is a common reason to choose it. Real grass fails under oaks because it cannot get light. Artificial grass does not care, and holds colour in shade.
Is artificial grass allowed on a heritage property?
Generally yes, because it is a reversible surface treatment rather than a structural change. Check the specific overlay conditions on a graded property first.
What does artificial grass cost in Stellenbosch?
Artificial grass in Stellenbosch costs R159 to R249 per square metre installed. The rate covers the grass, the compacted base, the infill and the labour, and carries an 8-year guarantee.
