Why Choose Us?

Choosing the right artificial grass installer isn’t just about getting a quote, it’s about investing in your property’s future and your family’s lifestyle. After 25 years transforming Sydney properties with premium synthetic grass solutions, we’ve learned what separates exceptional installations from disappointing ones. You’re about to discover why discerning Sydney homeowners and businesses consistently choose Classic Backyards over our competitors, and why our installations still look pristine years after completion.

The difference lies in our exclusive specialisation, proven COOLplus® Technology, and Australia’s most comprehensive 15-year warranty, backed by a quarter-century of expertise that’s made us Sydney’s most trusted artificial grass specialists.

Unlike general landscapers or recent market entrants, artificial grass installation is all we’ve done since 1998. We’ve perfected every aspect of the process through thousands of Sydney installations, from dealing with clay soil challenges in the Hills District to addressing coastal drainage issues in Leichhardt. Our exclusive specialisation means we’ve encountered and solved every possible synthetic grass challenge across Sydney’s diverse conditions.

Most landscapers treat artificial grass as a side service. We treat it as our life’s work. This focus has allowed us to develop installation techniques, drainage systems, and maintenance protocols that generalist contractors simply cannot match. Our installations routinely outlast and outperform work done by companies that treat synthetic grass as just another product.

Sydney summers can make standard artificial grass uncomfortably hot, often reaching 60°C surface temperatures. Classic Backyards exclusively uses COOLplus® Technology, reducing surface temperature by up to 15 degrees compared to standard synthetic grass. This breakthrough innovation reflects heat rather than absorbing it, making your lawn comfortable for barefoot walking even during 40°C Sydney heat waves.

We’re the Sydney artificial grass company that offers this advanced cooling technology as standard across all our residential installations. While our competitors leave you with scorching surfaces that children can’t play on, our COOLplus® surfaces remain pleasant to touch throughout Sydney’s hottest days.

We’re so confident in our synthetic grass quality and installation expertise that we offer a full 15-year warranty, the most comprehensive in Australia. This isn’t just a materials warranty, it covers the complete installation including our advanced drainage systems, base preparation, and turf performance.

Most artificial grass companies offer 5-8 year warranties with exclusions. Our 15-year guarantee demonstrates our commitment to long-term customer satisfaction and reflects the superior quality of our products and installation methods. We’ve been backing our work with industry-leading warranties for over two decades because we know our installations last.

Sydney’s variable rainfall, from drought to deluge, demands sophisticated drainage engineering. Our proprietary drainage systems handle everything from the North Shore’s clay soil to Hawkesbury’s flood-prone areas. We conduct detailed soil analysis for every installation, then engineer drainage solutions specific to your property’s conditions and Sydney’s seasonal weather patterns.

Generic installers use one-size-fits-all drainage. We design custom solutions that prevent pooling, ensure rapid water evacuation, and maintain turf integrity through Sydney’s wettest winters and driest summers. Our drainage expertise prevents the waterlogging issues that plague installations done by inexperienced contractors.

Every Classic Backyards installation begins with professional soil analysis and engineered base preparation, services many competitors skip to cut costs. We excavate to precise depths, install professional-grade subbase materials, and create perfect drainage gradients before laying a single blade of synthetic grass.

Our installation teams are artificial grass specialists, not general labourers. They understand fibre direction, seam placement, infill distribution, and the dozens of technical details that determine whether your lawn looks natural or obviously artificial. This expertise is why our installations consistently achieve the natural appearance that makes neighbours ask, “Is that real grass?”

Our synthetic grass installations are specifically engineered for Sydney families with children and pets. We use only lead-free, non-toxic materials with built-in antimicrobial protection that prevents bacteria growth and eliminates odours. Our advanced drainage systems ensure rapid liquid evacuation, preventing the hygiene issues common with poorly installed artificial grass.

Children can play safely, pets can run freely, and parents have peace of mind knowing their lawn won’t harbour harmful bacteria or require toxic chemicals for maintenance. We regularly install for Sydney families with young children, elderly residents, and pet owners who need completely safe outdoor surfaces.

With Sydney water restrictions becoming increasingly common and water costs rising annually, artificial grass eliminates your irrigation expenses completely. Our clients typically save $400-1000 annually on water bills while maintaining perfectly green lawns regardless of drought conditions or watering restrictions.

Beyond financial savings, you’ll never again face the stress of watching your natural lawn brown during restrictions or the guilt of watering while neighbours comply with conservation mandates. Your synthetic lawn stays pristine green 365 days a year without consuming a single litre of Sydney’s precious water resources.

Sydney’s intense UV radiation destroys inferior artificial grass within 3-5 years. Our premium synthetic grass incorporates advanced UV stabilisers that maintain colour vibrancy and fibre integrity for 15+ years under Australia’s harsh sun. This technology prevents the fading, brittleness, and degradation that plague cheaper installations.

We exclusively use artificial grass manufactured to Australian standards for UV resistance—specifications that many imported products fail to meet. While competitors’ installations fade to unnatural colours, ours maintain their rich green appearance year after year, season after season.

Natural lawns cost Sydney homeowners $2000-4000 annually in mowing, fertilising, pest control, and replacement plantings. Classic Backyards installations require zero ongoing maintenance costs, no mowing, no fertilising, no pesticides, no reseeding, no edge trimming.

Occasionally hosing down the surface and removing debris is the only maintenance required. Over ten years, our clients save $10,000-20,000 in lawn maintenance costs while enjoying consistently perfect appearance. The financial return on your artificial grass investment is substantial and guaranteed.

We’ve successfully completed installations from the Hills District to the Hawkesbury, from Leichhardt’s inner west to the North Shore’s premium properties. This geographic diversity has given us unmatched experience with Sydney’s varied soil conditions, drainage challenges, and council requirements.

Our installation crews know every Sydney council’s artificial grass regulations, approval processes, and inspection requirements. We handle all permits and compliance issues, ensuring your installation meets local standards without delays or complications.
