Status Grass

Status Grass: artificial grass sold by pile height and roll width

Status Grass is a UK-based retailer specialising in artificial grass for gardens, balconies, terraces and pet-friendly outdoor spaces. The catalogue is organised around the two variables that most affect a purchase: pile height and roll width. Shoppers can filter by pile height in bands from 6–15 mm up to 51–70 mm, with dedicated pages for 20 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 38 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm and 50 mm grass, and by widths of 1 m, 2 m, 3 m, 4 m and 5 m. A separate filter groups products by price per square metre, from £5.00–£9.99 up to £25.00–£30.00.

Product ranges and named lines

Beyond the standard green ranges, the shop separates coloured artificial grass and pet-friendly artificial grass, and keeps samples and accessories in their own collections. Among the featured products listed at the time of writing were Jersey 30mm at £7.99/m² (with one review recorded), Istanbul 35mm at £6.99/m², Tampa 40mm at £8.00/m² and Athens 40mm at £11.99/m². Each product page offers the option of ordering a free sample alongside the full roll.

Choosing a pile height

The retailer frames pile height as a practical decision rather than a purely aesthetic one. Its own descriptions present 20 mm grass as hard-wearing and tidy, 30 mm as soft with a natural-looking finish, 35 mm as offering a natural, luxurious feel and 40 mm as giving a full, soft lawn finish. The site also publishes a guide to choosing pile height for buyers who want to compare options in more detail.

Samples, measuring and ordering

Free samples are a central part of the buying process: customers can request them to compare colour, texture and quality at home before committing to a full roll. The company states that samples carry the same quality as full rolls and are dispatched quickly.

Grass is priced per square metre. Buyers select an available width and enter the required length in the product's size calculator to obtain the total for the piece; the product page and basket show the current price and any delivery charges. The site advises measuring the widest and longest parts of the area, allowing for trimming and irregular edges, and planning roll widths and joins in advance. It also warns that shades can vary slightly between manufacturing batches, so the full requirement should be ordered together, and that pile direction should be kept consistent across adjoining pieces.

Installation, care and drainage guidance

Status Grass publishes step-by-step installation guides covering surface preparation, a compacted sub-base, a weed barrier and optional foam underlay, rolling out and settling the grass, joining seams with tape and adhesive, securing edges and brushing the fibres upright. The company notes that DIY fitting may suit a straightforward area for someone able to prepare the surface and follow the instructions, while complex sites may call for an installer.

On maintenance, the guidance is that artificial grass needs no mowing or watering; care consists of removing leaves and debris, brushing the fibres to keep the pile upright, cleaning spills promptly with suitable products and following the care instructions for the chosen product. Drainage is treated as a requirement: water must have a route away from the grass and the surface beneath it, existing outlets on patios and balconies should stay clear, and water should not be trapped under the grass.

Balconies, pets and family use

A dedicated section addresses apartment balconies and terraces. It advises checking with the building manager or landlord whether artificial grass is permitted, since some buildings prohibit it, and confirming fire requirements before choosing a product. Where permitted, the surface, drainage, waterproofing and fixing method should be assessed. For pet owners, the retailer points to its pet-friendly range, recommends planning drainage, removing pet waste promptly and cleaning according to the product's care guidance, and highlights the absence of soil and muddy paw prints compared with natural turf. Further collections group grass for dogs, for children and families, for balconies and apartments, and for commercial spaces, alongside illustrative garden designs for family gardens, small spaces, play areas and commercial settings.

Delivery, returns and the wider Status group

The site advertises fast UK delivery to the door and refers customers to its delivery policy for current times and costs, suggesting contact before ordering where there is a deadline or questions about access for a delivery. Product guarantees apply, subject to terms and conditions. Cut-to-size or made-to-measure grass cannot be returned for a change of mind, so the company asks buyers to check measurements carefully and compare samples first; damaged or faulty goods are covered separately in the returns policy.

Status Grass sits within a wider group. Status Composite supplies composite decking, cladding and fencing, and Status Home Care covers pots, planters, garden furniture and home essentials. The company also maintains a trade enquiries channel and a mailing list for offers, product updates and advice.
