Choosing the final resting place for a loved one is never an easy process. After the funeral, you then need to organise the gravestone for the gravesite and ensure it looks well-kept for years to come. For families who have chosen a grave with a curb — a low border usually of stone or concrete surrounding the gravesite — or a raised grave, artificial grass is an excellent covering option for the grave surround.
Most gravesites are lawn graves where the groundskeepers mow the grass and keep the cemetery looking beautiful for everyone visiting. But for curbed or raised graves, the area inside the border requires a different solution. Historically a low fence around the gravesite was popular, but most cemeteries today do not permit this as it creates an obstacle for the groundskeepers maintaining the cemetery's grounds.
Why Use Artificial Grass for a Gravesite?
- Very low maintenance — the grass always looks perfect without any effort from the family
- Visitation rates to graves generally decrease as the years go by after someone passes — artificial grass keeps the site looking well-kept whether or not anyone has visited recently
- Always looks better than real grass — particularly during Brisbane's dry periods and water restrictions when natural grass browns and dies
- A respectful and natural-looking alternative to cement or stones for families who prefer a green covering
- Durable and long-lasting — maintains its appearance for many years
- You will never need to mow, weed, or water the gravesite
- Works within most cemetery groundskeeper requirements
- Suitable for both individual grave surrounds and larger cemetery pathway and common area installations
Individual Graves and Whole Cemeteries
Individual Grave Surrounds
For families who have chosen a curbed or raised grave for their loved one, artificial grass installed within the border creates a neat, permanently green surface that requires no ongoing attention from the family. It looks respectful and well-maintained on every visit — and equally so between visits, when no one is there to tend to it.
Cemetery Pathways and Common Areas
Turf Green also works directly with cemetery management for larger installations — pathways, common areas, garden surrounds, and sections of the cemetery where natural grass maintenance is difficult or costly. Artificial grass reduces groundskeeping requirements significantly and maintains a consistently presentable appearance for all visitors throughout the year.

Frequently Asked Questions About Artificial Grass for Graves
Is artificial grass permitted in cemeteries?
It depends on the individual cemetery's rules. Most cemeteries that permit curbed or raised graves also allow artificial grass to be installed within the border area. Lawn graves maintained by the cemetery groundskeepers are generally not suitable for artificial grass installation — it is primarily for curbed or raised graves where the family is responsible for the area within the border. We recommend confirming with cemetery management before proceeding. Turf Green can advise at your free site visit.
How long does artificial grass last on a grave surround?
Quality artificial grass installed on a grave surround typically lasts 10–15 years or more. Because the area is small and receives no heavy foot traffic, a grave surround installation often outlasts larger residential or commercial installations. It will maintain its appearance with virtually no maintenance for the full lifespan of the product.
Does artificial grass look natural on a grave?
Yes. Today's synthetic turf products look far more realistic than the artificial grass of previous decades. Modern turf is soft, multi-toned, and maintains a natural green appearance year-round — looking well-kept and respectful whether the family has visited recently or not. It actually looks better than natural grass during Brisbane's dry periods when cemetery lawns can brown and deteriorate.
Does artificial grass require any maintenance on a grave?
Virtually none. An occasional brush to remove leaf litter and debris is all that is needed. There is no mowing, watering, or weeding required. For families who live far from the cemetery or visit infrequently, this peace of mind is one of the most valuable aspects of artificial grass for a gravesite.
Can artificial grass be installed on a raised grave?
Yes. Artificial grass can be installed on raised graves, curbed graves, and most grave surround configurations. The surface is assessed at your free on-site visit to confirm the right installation approach for the specific grave type and cemetery conditions.
Can Turf Green install artificial grass for a whole section of a cemetery?
Yes. Turf Green works with both individual families for single grave surrounds and directly with cemetery management for larger installations covering pathways, common areas, and multiple grave sections. Contact us to discuss your requirements.
