Softening Artificial Turf with Natural Textures
Artificial turf has transformed the way Sydney homes and businesses approach landscape design, offering year-round greenery, minimal maintenance, and enduring beauty. But the secret to creating truly inviting, sophisticated outdoor spaces isn’t just about the quality of your synthetic grass—it’s about how you frame and finish it. At Afforest Group, we specialise in blending premium artificial turf with a harmonious mix of natural, textured elements to elevate every project into a work of art.
Timber Decking: Warmth and Contrast
There’s something timeless about timber. Paired with artificial turf, timber decking provides a rich, organic contrast that immediately softens the look and feel of synthetic grass. Whether it’s a raised platform for entertaining or subtle stepping pads along the lawn, natural timber brings warmth, texture, and a sense of luxury that grounds the entire space.
Sandstone Crazy Paving: Natural Elegance
Sandstone crazy paving is a classic choice for Sydney landscapes, offering earthy tones and unique, irregular shapes that echo Australia’s natural beauty. When used as a border or pathway alongside artificial turf, sandstone paving creates visual interest and gently breaks up expanses of green. The result is a more relaxed, organic flow—never artificial, always inviting.
Stone Feature Walls and Pathways
A carefully crafted stone feature wall or a winding stone pathway can become the centrepiece of your outdoor oasis. Natural stone not only complements the lush look of artificial turf but also introduces depth, structure, and a sense of permanence. Whether you prefer rugged sandstone, stacked granite, or smooth river stones, Afforest Group designs each feature to enhance the visual harmony of your landscape.
Pebbles and River Stones: Texture and Tranquillity
Pebble beds and river stones are ideal for creating transitions between turf and garden beds or highlighting pathways and water features. Their varied sizes and soothing colours add subtle texture while also improving drainage and reducing maintenance. The result? Spaces that look as serene as they feel underfoot.
Lush Native Gardens: Softness and Sustainability
Artificial turf truly comes alive when surrounded by layers of lush native plants. Grevilleas, kangaroo paws, lomandras, and other Australian natives soften the lines between lawn and garden, attract wildlife, and thrive in Sydney’s unique climate. Native gardens not only enhance the natural aesthetic of your space but also support local biodiversity and require less water, aligning perfectly with our commitment to sustainable landscaping.
