5 Best Artificial Grass Brushes of 2025

There aren’t many established brands in the artificial grass brush market, but there is one that stands out – Hyundai.

The fact that their petrol lawn is our top rated model, gave me a lot of confidence when purchasing the Hyundai HYSW1600E Artificial Grass Sweeper to test.

I had artificial grass laid in the summer of 2023 you see, and well, it was beginning to look quite messy.

Of course, it was absolutely pristine when it was first laid, but by November it was covered in wet leaves, soil overspill from the borders, and even broken water ballons from fun days gone by.

I’d done a lot of primary research before deciding on the Hyundai, but when it came to technical specification and existing customer feedback, it became clear this was the best model to go for.

But how good actually was it?

Assembly – 5/5

I love a product that’s easy to put together, and the Hyundai ticks that box. It took all of 12 minutes to assemble.

All you basically need to do is attach the handle (which is in 4 parts) to machine itself. There are some nice big chunky blue screws that are easy to turn, and all necessary tools are provided.

The instructions are clear and easy to follow, and as I say, within minutes I was wheeling it out to my garden.

Design – 5/5

When it comes to design, the first thing I want to mention is it’s weight. As I was wheeling it out, just how lightweight it is and how easy it is to manoeuver became apparent. It’s only 13.3kg, it’s got big wheels with smooth rotation, and a soft handle bar that’s well positioned.

There are also 3 different angle adjustments, 5 different sweeping heights, so finding the right position to suit you is easy. As a 6ft tall male, I preferred the position in height number 1.

Visually, it looks the part too. The vibrant blue that’s synonymous with Hyundai and the big logo on the front and on the 45 litre collection bag is reassuring. You feel like you’ve got a well built machine in your hands.

What’s surprising, and that you’ll notice from the pictures is how much shorter artificial grass brushes are compared to lawn mowers. It’s a bit like having a smart car instead of a saloon! But of course, inside there is simply the power brush, so it doesn’t need to mimic the size of a lawn mower.

Overall I think it looks the part, and because of its compact size, it’s easy to store too. Mine fits nicely in my outdoor storage box.

Performance – 5/5

Next, let’s get into the meat and potatoes! How well does it actually clean…

The best way I can put it is that it’ll make your artificial grass look like new again.

It lifts the vast majority of debris in its way, runs it through the power brush and shoots it straight into the collection bag behind it. It’s really quite impressive and satisfying to use!

It’s also worth noting that it gives your artificial grass a bit of a lift too. This is really helpful if yours has been flattened quite a lot. It almost works like how a vacuum lifts carpet.

There’s a couple of points though that I want you to know about:

Firstly, as your collection bag becomes full, debris can start to come out as there’s a slight gap between the unit and the bag. My advice is to simply empty it once you notice that happening.

Secondly, much like a lawn mower, this machine can’t get right to the edges. It’s got a nice wide 38cm sweeping width, but you still won’t be able to just run it along your borders and clean everything.

How I overcame this was to using an outdoor brush, to move the leaves and debris away from the edges, so that the machine could then suck it up. You might find this a bit annoying, but it’s the same with all models.

I haven’t marked my scoring down for either of these points, because I think they’re both pretty fair and normal limitations. I just wanted to make you aware of them, so you’re in the know.

Safety – 4.5/5

When it comes to safety, there’s a few things you need to know about the Hyundai.

It’s got a nice long 10m power cable, but more importantly, it’s orange and easy to see. I hate it when machines have black cables that are easily hidden. So this definitely scores some points for this.

It’s also got a bright red start button that needs to be pressed alongside pulling the trigger under the handlebar before it’ll start. This is another important safety feature.

However, when it comes to noise, this machine is a loud. The noise genuinely surprised me, as I was thinking it would be on par with a lawn mower. It’s not. It’s 108dB compared to about 80-90db for a lawn mower. Credit to Hyundai though, there are big yellow safety labels on the top of the machine, so I feel they’re done all they can to warn users. My advice is to simply make sure you’re wearing ear defenders before you start using it.

Finally, I just want to discuss the power. As soon as you turn it on, you’ll feel the propulsion of the machine. It wants to go! So just be aware of that, particularly if you have mobility issues. I don’t want it to take you by surprise.

Value for Money – 5/5

For me, value for money isn’t all about price, it’s about how well the product does it’s job, in comparison to the price. And with the Hyundai HYSW1600E Artificial Grass Sweeper I’m really impressed with how it performed and happy with my purchase.

Although I’ve highlighted a couple of things you should be aware of with this model, there aren’t actually any real negatives with it!

I do of course plan to use it for years to come, so if any issues arise in the future, I’ll update this review. But for now, it definitely gets my recommendation as the best artificial grass brush to buy.

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

With a width of 38 cm, this artificial grass 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. Whilst this is generally great news for cleaning the lawn, you should make sure that all artificial grass is firmly secured before using it.

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

With a 45 L grass collection bag, this artificial grass vacuum can be used as your primary lawn-cleaning tool. The only time that an additional garden 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 this sweeper 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 Turfmatic™ Artificial Grass Brush Electric Power Broom is the best electric brush for medium/large gardens with a lot of borders and boundaries. It boasts a wide 60 cm broom head that allows you to cover larger areas in a fraction of the time you would with a traditional broom.

Plus, thanks to the handheld design of this brush, it can get right up to the edges of an artificial grass lawn. Many other artificial grass brooms are unable to get right up against boundary lines because the wheels get in the way.

The 1500 W motor and 200 rpm working speed enables it to get deep into the turf to remove debris. Once this artificial lawn sweeper has removed the debris, it will need to be vacuumed separately as this brush has no hoover function. 

Ideal for freshly laid artificial turf, this artificial lawn brush can also lift the grass strands from their compacted state, fluffing them up and making them look more realistic. It’s suitable for both regular maintenance jobs and new installs, making it better value for money than a lot of other brooms on the market. 

With an alloy steel body and guard, this brush also feels good quality. The 10 m cable, although not overly long, means you should be able to get around most medium size lawns. For larger areas, you’ll likely need an extension.

At 18 kg, this brush is one of the heaviest featured here. It remains easy to use, but the weight might be off putting for some users.

Overall, thanks to its wide size and ability to get close to edges, this is the best artificial lawn brush for medium/large gardens that have lots of boundary lines.

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 artificial grass broom runs through and lifts all the garden debris, whilst also encouraging artificial turf 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 artificial grass broom, however, picks up dog and cat hair and stops it from matting up the lawn.

Basically, if there is debris clogging up your faux lawn, 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 artificial grass broom works well with very few disadvantages. It can both clear artificial grass and fluff up the pile, and it offers great value for money as well.

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

With high-grade polyamide filament bristles, this artificial grass rake 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 artificial grass 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 garden debris. However, if you have a lot of moss growing on your artificial turf, you may need a more heavy-duty tool. Overall, this brush is a good choice for regular garden maintenance.

Lightweight and easy to use, this artificial grass rake 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, thanks to its narrow design, this artificial grass rake 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.
