It's all about the textures. The default Sketchup grass is far from good enough. But even if you find a good large scale grass texture, then it's hard to make it look realistic, as grass isn't flat.

What I find works the best is add the grass in Photoshop afterwards. Get hold of lots of photos containins grass from various angles and cut and paste to make fit in your render.
