Synthetic grass is highly durable and by design is able to handle the high impact associated with various sports. All artificial grass installed by Classic Backyards comes with a full 7 year manufacturer’s warranty so you can be sure you are receiving great value from your investment.
By utilising artificial grass for your sporting oval needs you are minimising the possibility of games needing to be postponed or cancelled due to wet weather or other climatic conditions which can affect various areas of Sydney and surrounding NSW. All grass supplied by Classic Backyards has an inbuilt drainage system to draw away liquid quickly.
Players in your sports association will love the flat, lush and hazard free surface and what better promotion for your club then passers-by noticing a spectacular green field all year round. Say goodbye to dry, dusty and cracked ground during summer and you can forget about those dead patches around the goals in soccer in winter.
Not only do you minimise the chance of cancellations but you will also cut down on costly maintenance costs. No more watering, no more mowing, even line marking doesn’t need to be done as regularly when compared to real grass.
There is no doubt fake grass is growing in popularity and many sporting organisations are finding that it can actually create a form of profit when fields are rented/leased to sporting organisations as needed. The appeal of having a sporting ground always available, rain or shine, means that clubs are prepared to pay for the privilege.
We can design and customise a synthetic grass sports surface for your specific requirements, specifications and preferences. We stock a variety of styles and colours to ensure you have plenty to choose from.

Football and Soccer Synthetic Turf
As you know Sydney weather can be a real pain at times, particularly in winter months if you run a sporting organisation. If you currently have a natural grass field we are sure you are currently aware of the impact the climate can have on your real grass, not to mention the damage from consecutive nights of training and school bookings throughout the day. Natural grass needs time to recover and we know this doesn’t happen with a fully booked sporting oval or field, especially when you through in a few rainy days and nights.
More and more sporting organisations for a variety of sports such as Soccer, Football, and AFL are turning to artificial turf for their surface needs. It doesn’t go bare, it doesn’t crack, it doesn’t get muddy and it helps to prevent injuries which can occur due to rabbit holes, uneven surfaces and other hazards.
Did you know that the first soccer field to receive synthetic turf was all the way back in 1966? Back then it was known as Astro Turf and technology advancements mean the artificial turf you receive today is vastly superior! The International controlling body for Soccer is FIFA and they have their own certification system for artificial turf quality and playability. FIFA also has a list of recommended pitches.
Classic Backyards can deliver you a synthetic soccer turf field that will overcome the many pitfalls of using real grass along with save you money due to minimal maintenance requirements.

Lawn Bowls
Whilst there is an upfront cost to having a new artificial turf lawn bowling green installed, your club will recover it quickly from the ongoing costs saved on maintenance. Reduced water costs, no mowing (so no petrol and oil costs), no edge trimming, no fertilising, no weeding chemicals, the list goes on and on.
If you already have an existing real grass bowling green, the process to convert it to synthetic grass is basically the same as re-laying the existing surface with new real grass.
We know your club members will demand a surface that is as close to real grass as possible. We have an extensive range of various synthetic grass products to suit different applications and requirements, contact us today to discuss your needs.
No one likes seeing their usual game of lawn bowls cancelled because of wet weather. Artificial turf has inbuilt drainage which will draw liquid away from the surface, meaning your green will be dryer sooner after periods of rain. We can support this inbuilt drainage with a specially designed drainage system. Less cancellations means happier members.
Barefoot Bowls is becoming more and more popular and the good news is if you have an artificial turf green you can allow play well into the night or throughout the entire day without having to worry about surface damage. All of our grass products are highly durable and stain resistant. More time for play means more potential earnings for your club.
If desired we can install a shock-pad underneath the synthetic grass surface to assist with regulating speeds and making the surface more user-friendly.
The speed of the green is able to be altered by some simple steps which can either be completed by our professional team or explained to you for your greens keeper to complete.
