FAQs
How durable is the 25mm pile height?
The 25mm pile height is designed for moderate to heavy use, offering good resilience. Regular brushing helps maintain its appearance over time.
Can pets use this artificial grass?
Yes, it is pet-friendly. Urine drains through the base, and solid waste can be easily picked up. Regular rinsing is recommended to maintain freshness.
Does the grass get hot in the sun?
Like most artificial surfaces, it can get warm under direct sunlight. Lighter colors and proper ventilation through the sub-base can help mitigate heat absorption. Watering the surface can also provide temporary cooling.
What is the expected lifespan of this artificial grass?
With proper installation and maintenance, this artificial grass is designed to last for many years, typically 8-10 years or more, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
Can I install this on concrete or decking?
Yes, but you will need to create a drainage layer above the concrete or decking using specialized underlayment or a sand base to allow water to escape.
Is the green color natural-looking?
The grass is designed to offer a natural and realistic appearance, staying immaculately green in all seasons.
Troubleshooting
Uneven surface after installation
Ensure the sub-base was properly compacted and leveled. Minor unevenness can sometimes be corrected by lifting and re-laying sections, or by adding a thin layer of sand.
Water pooling on the surface
Check that the sub-base has adequate drainage. Ensure no blockages are present in the drainage layer or surrounding area. If the issue persists, the sub-base may need to be re-graded.
Pile flattening in high-traffic areas
Gently brush the affected areas against the grain of the pile with a stiff brush or rake to restore its upright appearance.
Debris accumulation
Regularly sweep or use a leaf blower to remove leaves, twigs, and other debris. For tougher dirt, use a garden hose and mild soap.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Proper setup is vital for the longevity and performance of your Ark Mat artificial grass. It requires a well-prepared, level sub-base, typically a layer of compacted hardcore followed by a layer of sharp sand, to ensure adequate drainage and prevent waterlogging. Ensure the area is free from debris and sharp objects before laying the turf. The grass can be cut to size using a sharp utility knife. For compatibility, this artificial grass is suitable for most ground types when installed on an appropriate sub-base. It is compatible with underfloor heating systems provided the manufacturer's installation guidelines for both products are followed.
Care Instructions:
- Cleaning: For general maintenance, sweep or blow away debris. For spills or stains, use mild soap and water with a hose. Avoid harsh chemicals.
- Brushing: Periodically brush the pile against its natural lay to keep it standing upright and to prevent matting, especially in high-traffic areas.
- Weed Control: While resistant to weeds, occasional inspection around the edges is recommended. Small weeds can be removed by hand.
- Snow/Ice: Allow snow and ice to melt naturally. Do not attempt to clear with sharp tools.
