Artificial grass has come a long way since its early days. Once used mainly for sports fields and basic lawn replacements, modern artificial turf now offers realistic textures, vibrant colors, and advanced durability that make it suitable for a wide range of applications. At Konzept Garden, we’ve spent over 30 years transforming outdoor and indoor spaces throughout Malaysia. And if there’s one thing we’ve learned, it’s this: artificial grass isn’t just for lawns.
In this article, we’ll explore seven of the best places to install artificial grass that go far beyond your typical yard. Whether you want to green up your balcony or create a pet-friendly corner, these ideas will help you make the most of every square foot.
Rooftop Gardens and Sky Terraces
For many urban homeowners, space is limited. Rooftop areas are often overlooked, underused, or simply too hot and hard to enjoy. Installing artificial grass on your rooftop can completely transform this space into a relaxing, livable green zone.
Artificial grass works well on rooftops because it is lightweight, UV-resistant, and requires no soil, watering, or mowing. You can combine it with planters, lounge furniture, pergolas, and even outdoor lighting to create a private retreat with a natural feel.
At Konzept Garden, we’ve helped many property owners turn bare concrete rooftops into stylish garden terraces. Our Noble Grass collection is especially popular for these projects due to its lifelike appearance, cooling technology, and durable, low-maintenance design.
Rooftop turf benefits:
- Turns unused space into a functional outdoor area
- Improves thermal insulation, reducing heat transfer
- Ideal for high-rise condos, commercial buildings, and city homes
Balconies and Small Terraces
Just because your outdoor space is small doesn’t mean it can’t be beautiful. In fact, balconies and terraces are some of the most rewarding places to install artificial grass. They instantly soften hard surfaces, provide a cozy look, and create a more inviting spot to sit or relax.
Many of our customers in high-rise apartments use artificial grass as a flooring solution on balconies. It's especially beneficial in places where rain, dirt, or sun exposure make other floor materials difficult to maintain. Unlike rugs or wooden decking, turf doesn’t fade, rot, or attract pests.
Our Noble Grass products are perfect for these spaces. They can be cut to fit any shape or layout, and they’re designed to drain quickly, which is especially important during Malaysia’s rainy season.

Balcony turf benefits:
- Adds visual warmth to cold concrete or tile
- Soft and comfortable under bare feet
- Safe for kids and pets to play on
- Easy to clean and long-lasting
Pool Surrounds
If you have a swimming pool, you know that the surrounding surface matters just as much as the water. Tiles can get slippery, wood can warp, and natural grass quickly becomes muddy and uneven. Artificial grass offers a clean, slip-resistant, and low-maintenance alternative.
At Konzept Garden, we often recommend artificial turf for pool decks and edges. Our Noble Grass products include UV-stable fibers that resist fading, even in full sunlight. They also feature efficient drainage systems, so water doesn’t pool or cause mold growth.
Besides safety and functionality, turf also brings aesthetic value. The lush green contrasts beautifully with blue pool water and stone or concrete elements. It creates the feel of a resort right in your backyard.
Poolside turf benefits:
- Cooler and safer underfoot than tile or stone
- Eliminates mud, mess, and grass clippings
- Withstands splashes, chlorine, and heavy foot traffic
- Enhances the visual appeal of your outdoor space
Patios and Outdoor Living Areas
Artificial grass is a smart choice for integrating natural beauty into patios, courtyards, and other outdoor living zones. Many of our clients blend turf with pavers, stepping stones, or wooden decking to create a striking, modern look.
Turf makes these areas more usable and family-friendly. It’s softer than concrete, easy to clean, and doesn’t require any fertiliser or trimming. If your patio is used for entertaining, barbecues, or weekend lounging, synthetic grass adds comfort and charm without the usual upkeep.
Because our Noble Grass is engineered for durability, it can handle dining furniture, foot traffic, and even pet activity. It’s also easy to combine with landscaping elements like planters, water features, or seating walls.
Patio turf benefits:
- Blends nature with design for a stylish finish
- Feels soft and cool, even on hot days
- Complements furniture and hardscaping
- Stays vibrant all year round
Play Areas for Children
Safety is always a top concern when creating play areas. Artificial grass offers a cushioned, clean, and soft surface that reduces the risk of scrapes and falls. Whether you’re setting up a home playground, a small backyard area, or even an indoor play zone, turf is a great solution.
We often install turf under swing sets, jungle gyms, and other equipment to provide extra protection. For added safety, we can install a shock pad layer underneath the turf, helping absorb impact from falls.
Artificial turf also stays cleaner than soil or sand, which means fewer bugs, fewer allergens, and less dirt tracked into your home. Plus, it's low-maintenance with no mowing, no watering, and no weeds to pull.
Play area turf benefits:
- Cushioned and soft for safer play
- Cleaner and more hygienic than grass or sand
- Reduces maintenance and yard cleanup
- Long-lasting even with daily use
Pet Zones and Dog Runs
At Konzept Garden, we’re proud to offer pet-friendly artificial grass options that make life easier for both you and your furry friends. Unlike natural grass, artificial turf won’t develop brown spots, get dug up, or turn into mud after a rain.
We’ve designed pet zones for homes, pet cafes, and even veterinary clinics. Our Noble Grass products feature anti-microbial protection and drainage layers that make cleanup simple. All you need is water and a mild detergent to keep the surface fresh and clean.
Dogs love the soft, consistent texture of turf, and owners appreciate how it holds up to wear and tear. It’s perfect for daily use and easy to maintain, even in small yards or side alleys.

Indoor Applications: Gyms, Basements, and More
Artificial grass isn’t limited to the outdoors. Many of our customers now bring turf indoors for home gyms, playrooms, studios, and even creative office spaces. It’s a great way to add personality and softness underfoot in places where traditional flooring might feel cold or hard.
Turf is especially popular in home fitness zones. It offers grip, shock absorption, and a sports-inspired look that pairs well with exercise equipment or yoga setups. Our Noble Grass options are built for durability and can handle everything from light stretching to weight training.
For indoor uses, artificial turf also brings a fresh, lively aesthetic. Whether it’s a putting green in your basement or a mini playground in your child’s bedroom, turf is a unique design feature that’s practical and fun.
Indoor turf benefits:
- Adds softness and style to hard floors
- Ideal for workouts, stretching, or indoor games
- Customizable to any room size or shape
