The UK's bestBrushes for Artificial Grass & Astro Turf2022 Review

With strong bristles, a large collection bag, and a lightweight build that’s easy to push, the Hyundai HYSW1600E Artificial Grass Sweeper is an excellent choice for any size garden.

This brush lifts and collects debris and dust whilst also ‘fluffing’ the pile on artificial grass. In fact, it’s even capable of creating stripes, and it doesn’t take hours to use either. It has an element of self propulsion from the rotating brushes which makes it feel light and easy to manoeuvre.

This brush is equipped with a powerful 1600 W motor that makes it ideal for sweeping artificial grass along with other surfaces as well. It’s very versatile and can be used to sweep pathways, driveways, patios and decking areas. Given that the brushing action is quite strong, you can use this brush to effectively clean a lot of surfaces – just make sure the brush height is suitably adjusted so that it doesn’t cause damage to wood.

There are five adjustable brush heights ranging from -12 mm to 6 mm. This helps remove debris and dust from the very ‘root’ of your artificial grass. It also has a 45 L dust catcher to make it easier to get rid of the dirt. The 38 cm working width makes it suitable for working quickly across the lawn, and the 10 m cable gives flexibility for small/medium gardens.

This brush can be assembled in just 15 minutes and the instructions are very clear. Once assembled, it weighs 13.3 kg in total.

The only real downside to this brush is that it can’t go right to the edges of your lawn if there are fences or walls (a relatively universal problem with electric brushes). This means you may need to go over the edges with a manual brush or vacuum to get them to the same standard as the rest of the lawn.

Overall, this model is very powerful and effective. I’m recommending it as the best brush for artificial grass because it works quickly, cleans effectively and is easy to use.

The Wolf Artificial Lawn Brush works deep into the lawn, picking out pieces of fine debris that you might not even know were in there.

With a width of 38 cm, this lawn brush works efficiently across larger stretches of artificial lawn. The wide rotating brush has a diameter of 12.8 cm and is powered by a 1600 W motor. It easily pulls pet hair, dust, twigs and debris out from artificial grass. Plus, it not only removes these particles, but it also fluffs up the lawn, refreshing any flat, downtrodden grass.

Be aware that this brush is very powerful overall. This is great news for cleaning the lawn, but you should make sure that all artificial grass is firmly secured before using it.

There are five adjustable brush heights, ranging from -12 mm to 6 mm. Not only does this help clean the grass, but by using this lawn brush in different directions you can also use it to create a striped effect over the lawn.

With a 45 L grass collection bag, this brush can be used as your primary lawn-cleaning tool. The only time that an additional lawn vacuum might be required is at the edges of the lawn – this brush can’t clean right up against fences or walls.

It’s straightforward to put together and assembly takes around 20 minutes. The handles fold down for easy storage in small sheds or garages. The 10 m cable is suitable for small/medium lawns but may require an extension in bigger areas.

Overall, this is a very powerful machine and one of the best brushes for artificial grass in terms of versatility. It will easily remove both small and large particles from the lawn.

The AGM 141EUK Comber Electric Artificial Grass Power Brush is a lightweight yet powerful electric lawn brush that quickly refreshes the lawn.

It’s a lot easier to manoeuvre than the four-wheeled electric brushes featured on this page and weighs just 5 kg. Although it needs to be supported more than four-wheeled machines, there are two ergonomic handles which make it easy to grip onto.The brush has a twin-drum nylon brush system that offers a total sweeping width of 40 cm.

The benefit of it being handheld is that you have a lot more flexibility and manoeuvrability; for example, you can work even in narrow areas of lawn or underneath garden furniture. As a result, this is one of the best brushes for artificial grass if you want an electric model that will also get right up against obstacles and lawn edges.

This powerful brush is very effective, helping to lift debris as well as fluff the pile to make your lawn look thicker and more alive. It can also be used to clean patios, driveways and decking areas. Of course, one of the main downsides is that there’s no collection box, so you’ll need to vacuum your grass afterwards or use a dustpan and brush.

Due to its handheld nature, combined with the 10 m power cable, this machine is better suited to small/medium gardens rather than larger spaces. The single forward speed means clearing the garden takes a fraction of the time that it would with a traditional brush.

Although a small amount of self assembly is required to put the handle and shaft together, this is very simply done. Another key benefit is that this brush is very compact for an electric model, meaning it can be stored in a small shed or cupboard if needed.

As mentioned, this brush is particularly useful if you want the power of an electric model, but need to work in tighter spaces. It dramatically improves the appearance of flattened grass, is easy to manoeuvre, and has tough bristles that effectively shift debris.

This lightweight Bergman Artificial Grass Astro Lawn Rake Brush offers a simple yet effective way to clean small/medium artificial lawns.

With high-grade polyamide filament bristles, this brush gently lifts grass tufts which have been flattened by footfall. Given that it can improve the appearance of the grass blades without causing damage, it’s also a good choice if you are concerned that electric brushes may be too powerful for your lawn.

Thanks to the long length of the brush’s bristles, it can clean to the ‘roots’ of artificial grass and remove leaves, stones and debris. However, if you have a lot of moss growing between the grass, you may need a more heavy-duty tool. Overall, this brush is a good choice for regular garden maintenance.

Lightweight and easy to use, it allows for a comfortable working position thanks to the telescopic twist-and-lock handle. The handle can be extended from 78 cm to 130 cm to suit users of different heights (you might even be able to persuade the kids to lend you a hand!). The sweeping width of 45 cm means that this brush covers quite a wide area when working.

As you can imagine, this brush is very easy to store, so it’s a good choice for anyone short on space. The handle can be shortened, and the brush head removed, so it takes up very little room.

If you’re on a tighter budget, this is the best brush for artificial grass. It still effectively removes debris and lifts the pile on artificial grass, but it’s much less of an investment than electric models. It will be best suited to smaller lawns, but it will also be useful for tidying the edges of larger gardens.

If you’re fed up of a tired-looking lawn, the Spear & Jackson Astro Brush is capable of refreshing artificial grass so that it looks new again.

Even if it’s been several years since your Astro turf was laid, this broom runs through and lifts all the debris, whilst also encouraging the grass to stand up and stop looking so downtrodden.

It has curved bristles that help comb through the lawn’s strands as well as get into corners and around obstacles like flowerpots. Even where leaf blowers and lawn vacuums fail, this Astro Turf Brush shines through.

Whilst vacuums can hoover up larger items like leaves, they don’t always have success against smaller items or animal fur on artificial grass. This brush, however, picks up dog and cat hair and stops it from matting up the lawn.

Basically, if there is debris clogging up your artificial grass, this is one of the best brushes for artificial grass and Astro turf to go for. One of its main advantages is how well it cleans artificial grass, but it is also durable, easy to store, and comfortable to use, which are other bonuses.

The telescopic handle uses a twist-and-click mechanism to change the length, and it can be collapsed down for easier storage. For the most part, the handle is strong and durable; however, it does have a bit of flex when extended to its full length.

Overall, this Spear & Jackson Brush works well with very few disadvantages. It can both clear the grass and fluff up the pile, and it offers great value for money as well.

For a model that can be used both outside and inside the house, the Orientools Artificial Lawn Brush is versatile enough to be used on either lawns or carpets.

This is particularly useful if you have pets, seeing as their fur is renowned for getting stuck everywhere! The brush will pick it out of artificial grass, as well as collect it up from carpets inside.

It’s not as heavy duty as some of the lawn brushes featured on this page, and may not work as well on artificial grass that has a dense build up of vegetation caught in it. However, it’s very effective at clearing moss and leaves, so is especially useful if your garden is surrounded by a lot of trees.

The handle is telescopic, and extends between 80 – 130 cm. Whilst generally comfortable, this may be a little short for users over 6 foot, especially when used over an extended period.

However, the fact that it’s collapsible makes it simple to store, and the head can be quickly removed, making the brush easy to fit into storage cupboards and even drawers. It also has a hook, so can be hung up in the shed.

If you have pets, and want a tool that will help keep the carpet and Astro turf clear, this is one of the best lawn brushes for artificial grass and Astro turf. As mentioned, it’s not the strongest brush for tackling tangles of vegetation on the pile, but it will help keep on top of regular garden maintenance.

For longer artificial grass, the Coopers of Stortford Artificial Grass Rake has 40 mm bristles that can remove dirt as well as fluff up the lawn.

These longer bristles help remove debris from Astro turf and fake grass, acting much more effectively than a standard broom. They’re made from a polyamide filament and are gentle enough to clean without causing damage – always a relief after paying a substantial amount for the lawn itself.

The rake can also be used against the nap of the grass, to encourage the strands to stand up and reduce the flattened look that artificial lawns can get over time.

With a telescopic, lightweight steel handle, this rake is easy to manoeuvre and manage. It has a 45 cm head, making it wider than other models on this list (such as the Orientools Lawn Brush and the Bergam Lawn Rake), so it’s suitable for small, medium and large gardens. Due to its size, it may be more difficult to use if you have a lot of obstacles or smaller sections in your yard.

The handle extends from 78 – 130 cm which is a reasonable length; however, it may get tiring for gardeners over 6 foot tall to use for prolonged periods of time without rest. It can be collapsed down for storage, which is useful.

Overall, this is one of the best brushes for artificial grass and Astro turf if you have a longer, larger lawn – the length of the bristles and width of the head make the job easier.

However, it’s worth noting that this brush is best for frequent upkeep and maintenance and may not be able to remove deep-seated dirt.

This SmashingDealsDirect Artificial Lawn Rake makes use of 194 polyamide bristles to sweep up debris from fake grass.

Combing through the lawn, it picks out the leaves, twigs and general detritus that can lead to artificial grass looking tired and worn. It also perks up the individual strands of grass by ‘fluffing’ up the lawn, helping them stand more vertically.

Because of this, it’s one of the best brushes for artificial grass and Astro turf if you want to revitalise your lawn. Whilst strong enough to remove most debris, the bristles won’t damage the grass during use.

The rake has a telescopic, extendable handle that can be adjusted from 78 – 130 cm. This makes it the same height as the Coopers of Stortford Rake and Bergam Lawn Rake, compacting down small for storage. The handle is made from powder-coated steel which will help prevent rusting.

Although a bit of ‘elbow grease’ is required to get the most out of this rake (it’s still a manual tool, after all!), it’s a useful asset to have in the shed to spruce up the lawn when needed.
